POWhat is the best way to create a object in C# that will be re-used
text
Body
copied!<p>I've the following class</p> <pre><code>public class Car { public int Id {get;set;} public string Name {get;set;} public bool Enabled {get;set;} public Car() { this.Enabled = false; } } </code></pre> <p>In my code I can create the object like below and set some properties.</p> <pre><code>Car oCar = new Car(); oCar.Id = 1; oCar.Name = "FastCar"; </code></pre> <p>I then have a separate function like below</p> <pre><code>public static Car MyCarTest() { //do some logic.... Car oCar = new Car(); oCar.Id = 1; oCar.Name = "Very FastCar"; oCar.Enabled = true; return oCar; } </code></pre> <p>If I call the same code as below, followed by the function;</p> <pre><code>Car oCar = new Car(); oCar.Id = 1; oCar.Name = "FastCar"; oCar = MyCarTest(); </code></pre> <p>On calling the function at this point it will create a new object of type Car and will assign the name as 'Very FastCar' and Enabled set to true; The Function returns a new Car() of which is assigned to the initial Car object that was created.</p> <ul> <li>EDIT *</li> </ul> <p>My question is, what is the proper way to create a object, set some properties values, and then later in your code, your conditional check means that the original object and property values that were set, will be overwritten by a new instance of the object like;</p> <pre><code>Car oCar = new Car(); oCar.Id = 1; oCar.Name = "FastCar"; Car oCar1 = new Car(); oCar.Id = 1; oCar.Name = "Very FastCar"; oCar.Enabled = true; oCar = oCar1 </code></pre> <p>Is this the preferred way ?</p>
