    <p>Is there a way to define a field as <code>private</code> but still modifiable within a method using the generic of the containing class?</p> <p>(Apologies for the length of the question; I am struggling to nail down exactly what I am asking)</p> <p>Specifically, I currently have three classes <code>A</code>, <code>B</code>, <code>C</code> with the following requirements:</p> <ol> <li><code>B</code> and <code>C</code> have a field called <code>name</code>, but <code>A</code> does not</li> <li><code>A</code> and <code>C</code> have a method <code>Load()</code>, but <code>B</code> does not</li> <li>Collections of <code>B</code> and <code>C</code> use <code>name</code> in a custom <code>Add()</code> method, but <code>A</code> does not use this method</li> </ol> <p>This is my current solution:</p> <pre><code>public class BaseClass { public SomeType Load() { ... } } public interface IClass { string Name {get; set;} } public class MyList : SomeCollection&lt;IClass&gt; { // Depends on x.Name, and may modify Name before adding x to the collection public new void Add(IClass x) { ... } } public class A : BaseClass { ... } public class B : IClass { ... } public class C : BaseClass, IClass { ... } </code></pre> <p>This solution works for me if <code>Name</code> has a public <code>set</code>. But is there some way to properly encapsulate <code>x.Name</code> so that <code>Add</code> can modify <code>x.Name</code>, but <code>x.Name</code> cannot be modified in instances of <code>B</code> and <code>C</code>?</p>

    1. COI think you may have over-abstracted your problem. I've no idea what relevance `A`, `BaseClass` and `Load` have in relation to the rest of the problem. I've no idea what "`Add` can modify it, but other instances of `IClass` classes cannot" even means.

    2. CO`A` doesn't have a `Name` property, so I can't subclass it from something with `Name` in it, which `MyList` requires. But `A` and `C` do need to share the other method. (BTW: You are probably right; am I making this too hard?)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
