Consider this example:
namespace ValueObjects
{
public class User
{
public string UserCode { get; set; }
public string UserName { get; set; }
}
public class Company
{
public string CompanyCode { get; set; }
}
}
Now, I want the User class to have a CompanyCode property.. the first obvious solution is just simply put a CompanyCode property on the User class
public class User
{
public string UserCode { get; set; }
public string UserName { get; set; }
public string CompanyCode { get; set; }
}
Now the problem here is redunduncy because there's already a property CompanyCode to the Company Class, is there any way that User will be able to just use Company's CompanyCode property WITHOUT inheriting the Company class (problem here is C# doesnt allow multiple inheritance of classes) or using an ICompany interface (but interface is a pain in Value Objects). Im thinking about just contain the Company Class to the User class but i will use only the propery CompanyCode of it.
something like this..
public class User
{
public string UserCode { get; set; }
public string UserName { get; set; }
private Company company;
public string CompanyCode { get { company.CompanyCode } set {company.CompanyCode }
}
but then, it's no difference to just adding a string property CompanyCode.. Need your advice guys. Thanks in advance..
