[AccessD] OT: VBA.Net collections

John,

Although it seems like it may be the same difference I think it breaks the philosophy (if you will) of class development.  If you design your classes to handle one set of functionality (as class definition normally calls for) then this would dictate keeping the object and all its methods and properties and its collection with its methods and properties separate.

Just my opinion but I'd keep them separate (and do).

Subject: [AccessD] OT: VBA.Net collections


I am looking at implementing some classes that have defined functionality
and properties.  However the class also needs a collection to hold other
items (instances of a specific class.  I read about the idea of subclassing
a collection to define the object that the collection can hold by overriding
the Add method.  Is there any reason not to just go the whole way and make
the collection class my object class.  IOW, add my methods and properties to
a subclassed collection class, naming the new class to MyObject.
