[RESOLVED] [2.0] How to do

Hi all :wave:
See the class I know that my constructor are wrong but how to use the same constructor for setting different value.

I do not want to use the class property!

C# Code:

class Test
    {
        private string _CatID;
        private string _CatName;
        private string _SubCatName;
        private string _SubCatMotherName;
        public Test(string CatID, string CatName)
        {
            _CatID = CatID;
            _CatName = CatName;
                      
        }
 
        public Test(string CatID, string SubCatName)
        {
            _CatID = CatID;
            _SubCatName = SubCatName;
        }
 
        public Test(string CatID, string SubCatMotherName)
        {
            _CatID = CatID;
            _SubCatMotherName = SubCatMotherName;
        }
 
    }

How to set value through constructor without using the property I have some more variable , above was just little example

You can have as many constructors as you like but they all have to have different signatures, which means the types of the arguments must be different. You simply cannot do what you are showing there. You can, of course, declare a constructor with four arguments and allow nulls to be passed to the string arguments.

Thanks Sir

Maybe use in combination with an enumeration.
Like ...

Code:

---

        public Test(String catID, String name, CatNameKind nameKind)
        {
            _catID  = catID;
            switch (nameKind){
                case CatNameKind.Normal:
                    _catName = name;
                    break;
                case CatNameKind.Sub:
                    _subCatName = name;
                    break;
                case CatNameKind.Mother:
                    _motherCatName = name;
                    break;
            }
        }

---

In combination with an enumeration like this ...

Code:

---

public enum CatNameKind{
    Normal,
    Sub,
    Mother
}

---

Creation gets easy like:

Code:

---

Test t = new Test("007XV", "KlaartjeTheCat", CatNameKind.Normal);

I hope it's a useful idea :)
