Reference parent object of child object?

[Guest]

Is there a way to reference the "parent" object that creates a child object
from within the child object? Or do I have to pass a reference to the parent
object to the constructor of the child object so that the child object
"knows" who is creating it?

ie: how would I do something like this:

Object1 parent = new Object1();
parent.CreateObject2() // object1 creates a new object called object2
object2.parent // I want to be able to refer back to the
parent from the newly created "child object"

or when I create object2 do I have to pass a reference to "parent" in order
to reference it from within object2.

Thanks,

Alex

Yes. That's how you have to do it.
