Structuring Properties???

I am writing some large classes that have alot of properties that could be catorgized

eg.)

Person
>FirstName
>LastName
>Address
>>Postalcode
>>pobox
>>Street
>>Apartment

this is just an example my class is not as simple as this ::(

They way i was thinking of doing this is nested classes:

VB Code:

Class Person
 
    Class Address
          Public Property Street() as String
            'whatever>
           End Property
     End Class
 
End Class

Why not make Address a stand alone class so that it can be reused outside of Person, for say Building.

lol , what's your question ?

I wanted to know if this is the proper way of doing it.

Do what VBCrazyCoder said. Make each class separate and use inheritance.

If these obje have any relation to each other then put them in one class , this class contains the obj and their properties .

I am not sure I understand you correctly, but I think you are saying that if they have a relationship, they should be in the same class. That would be bad OO programming if you did that. Person should be a class that is seperate from the Address class. Then, the person object can expose a Address object as a property, and so could any other object that could possibly have an address associated with it. For example, Building, as mentioned above, has a physical address. Or how about a piece of equipment you are keeping track of where it is at, it should have an Address associated with it also.
