help me to choose between two designs

// stupid title, but I could not think anything smarter
I have a code (see below, sorry for long code but it's very-very simple):
namespace Option1
{
class AuxClass1
{
string _field1;
public string Field1
{
get
{
return _field1;
}
set
{
_field1 = value;
}
}
// another fields. maybe many fields maybe several properties
public void Method1()
{
// some action
}
public void Method2()
{
// some action 2
}
}
class MainClass
{
AuxClass1 _auxClass;
public AuxClass1 AuxClass
{
get
{
return _auxClass;
}
set
{
_auxClass = value;
}
}
public MainClass()
{
_auxClass = new AuxClass1();
}
}
}
namespace Option2
{
class AuxClass1
{
string _field1;
public string Field1
{
get
{
return _field1;
}
set
{
_field1 = value;
}
}
// another fields. maybe many fields maybe several properties
public void Method1()
{
// some action
}
public void Method2()
{
// some action 2
}
}
class MainClass
{
AuxClass1 _auxClass;
public string Field1
{
get
{
return _auxClass.Field1;
}
set
{
_auxClass.Field1 = value;
}
}
public void Method1()
{
_auxClass.Method1();
}
public void Method2()
{
_auxClass.Method2();
}
public MainClass()
{
_auxClass = new AuxClass1();
}
}
}
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Option1
Option1.MainClass mainClass1 = new Option1.MainClass();
mainClass1.AuxClass.Field1 = "string1";
mainClass1.AuxClass.Method1();
mainClass1.AuxClass.Method2();
// Option2
Option2.MainClass mainClass2 = new Option2.MainClass();
mainClass2.Field1 = "string2";
mainClass2.Method1();
mainClass2.Method2();
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
What option (option1 or option2) do you prefer ? In which cases should I use option1 or option2 ? Is there any special name for option1 or option2 (composition, aggregation) ?
