How to use a class as the base, but hide the class type publically?
- by James
I am currently just exposing the properties through a generic interface e.g.
public interface IBaseClass
{
int ID { get; set; }
}
internal class MyBaseClass : IBaseClass
{
public MyBaseClass() { }
public int ID { get; set; }
}
public class MyExposedClass : IBaseClass
{
private MyBaseClass _base = new MyBaseClass();
public int ID
{
get { return _base.ID; }
set { _base.ID = value; }
}
}
Then in my main application I can do:
IBaseClass c = new MyExposedClass();
c.ID = 12345;
But can't do:
MyBaseClass b = new MyBaseClass();
This is my desired behaviour.
However, I was just wondering if this is the correct approach? Or if there was a better way?
