Is it an acceptable practice to make a parent child relationship in a read only base class.

For Example

I want to display a readonly tree with as such (So all the objects are for display only but there is a parent child relationship.)

|-Root

|---Parent

|----->Children

|-------->Grandchild

|----Parent

|----->Children

|-------->Grandchild

Well, yeah. As long as you do not want to save it and you do not mind the loss of the PropertyChanged event, it should work fine.

Yeh.. it's display purpose only. No editing through these objects.. it purpose is only to display data on the UI.
