Two-part question
Working on an MDI program designed to keep track of any number of generic stores' inventories utilizing a snippet of code our teacher provided us. My thought process was "A store has a name and a record of items," so the class definition below represents the extent of what I have defined a store to be.
Part 1) How do I create an array of unknown quantity of class Record within class Store? The idea being that a store won't be limited to, say, 100 different items. For each item, there's one Record, and this should be able to account for adding a new one.
Part 2) How would I construct the class outside of this one? Basically, I'm going to have a window where it asks for information about the item (name, ID Num, etc.). How would I create a new Record to place within Store?
Thanks for the help. Class definition is below.
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace Inventory
{
class Store
{
public Store() { }
public Store(string name) { }
public string name { get; set; }
[Serializable]
class Record
{
public Record() { }
public Record(int ID, int Quantity, double Price, string Name) { }
public int id { get; set; }
public int quantity { get; set; }
public double price { get; set; }
public string name { get; set; }
}
}
}
Just define the classes separately and define a collection of one inside the other.
I used a private setter so you can only initialize it inside the class, then add and remove items from outside the class.
