is just like in c++ possible to declare the objects of the form we're inheriting from private? like
class myClass : private myMotherClass {
}
i dont think it is possible but if it someone could point me how? i think it's a big lack .net don't support that :\
hmm when trying it in c++.net i saw the answer to my question:
managed classes only support public inheritance
It's a nice feature of C++ but to be honest I've used it only once - what do you need it for?
imagine u have a complex control and u want to make it easier..u could for example inherit from it, create methods that would turn it easier and the old ones would be hidden
That's against OOP philosophy. Write a class that contains a private member of the complex class and add methods to call through.
yeah i've though about that but..i think it would be nicier with private inheritance..anyways why is that against OOP philosophy? and also what did u do the only time u did private inheritance?
Can't remember what I did.
OOP philosphy says that a derived class may add functionality or change functionality, but not hide functionality.
ah..i see then..
ps: i mailed the support ms' C# guy and talked about private inheritance and he replied saying that he liked the idea and was going to talk to the other guy about that
