Parent Property Question

Ash002 posted on Tuesday, December 09, 2008

A BusinessBase descendant has its Parent property set when assigned to BusinessListBase. When a BusinessBase descendant stores in as a property another child BusinessBase, is there any need to set the this child object's parent property? Is it a stupid question?

Eg

class Person : BusinessBase<Person>
{
  ...
   public Address Address
   {
      get {return GetProperty<Address>(AddressProperty);}
      set {SetProperty<Address>(AddressProperty, value);}
   }
}

class Address : BusinessBase<Address>
{
}

Thanks

Ashley

I typically do not set the Parent property of a child BusinessBase<T> when used as a direct descendent (no intermediate BusinessListBase collection) of a parent BusinessBase<T>.

Thanks, answering my own question, csla sets the parent property for you.
