Steve, Something like this?
class Sentence
{
Sentences parent;
public Sentence(Sentences parent)
{
this.parent = parent;
}
public Sentences Parent
{
get{ return parent; }
}
}
class Sentences
{
Page parent;
public Sentences(Page parent)
{
this.parent = parent;
}
public Page Parent
{
get{ return parent; }
}
}
class Page
{
Pages parent;
public Page(Pages parent)
{
this.parent = parent;
}
public Pages Parent
{
get{ return parent; }
}
}
class Pages
{
Book parent;
public Pages(Book parent)
{
this.parent = parent;
}
public Book Parent
{
get{ return parent; }
}
}
class Book
{
Books parent;
public Book(Books parent)
{
this.parent = parent;
}
public Books Parent
{
get{ return parent; }
}
}
class Books
{
public string SeriesName;
}
Books bs = new Books();
Book b = new Book(bs);
Pages ps = new Pages(b);
Page p = new Page(ps);
Sentences ss = new Sentences(p);
Sentence s = new Sentence(ss);
string theName = s.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.SeriesName;
Obviously the Sentences, Pages and Books classes would need to hold a colection of their respective children and have methods to Add, Remove, etc and probably indexers to allow the client to program against them using array like syntax

Hi, I'm just crossing over from VB6 to C# - so still quite new to it all.
My question is how is it possible to reference a parent class of a class for
example.
Books.cs
Book.cs
Pages.cs
Page.cs
Sentences.cs
Sentence.cs
And for me to go MySentence.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent to get a reference
to the Book.
Thanks in advance and apologies if this is a dumb question from a novice.
Steve.
