    <p>I'm writing a MUD engine and I've just started on the game object model, which needs to be extensible.</p> <p>I need help mainly because what I've done feels messy, but I can't think of a another solution that works better.</p> <p>I have a class called <code>MudObject</code>, and another class called <code>Container</code>, A container can contain multiple <code>MudObjects</code>, but is a <code>MudObject</code> itself, however <code>MudObject</code>s need to know what they are contained in.</p> <p>So they look something like this:</p> <pre><code>public abstract class MudObject { Container containedBy; } public abstract class Container : MudObject { List&lt;MudObject&gt; Contains; } </code></pre> <p><em>(please note these are just example and some qualifiers and access modifiers, properties and such are missed off)</em></p> <p>Now just this in itself seems messy, but lets add something else to the mix:</p> <p><code>Item</code> is a <code>MudObject</code> that all visual items (such as weapons) will be inherited from, however some of these need to be containers too (like chests). But theres no such as multiple inheritance in c#, So it comes down to interfaces, the best choice would be to make the container an interface (as far as I can see) However there was a reason I didn't want it to be, that being that adding an <code>MudObject</code> to a container will cause the container to update the <code>MudObject</code>s <code>.containedBy</code> value.</p> <p>Any ideas that would make this work, or am I falling into the trap of making things too complicated?<br> If so what else could you suggest?</p>

    1. CONote my point on bindings; rather than having the chest *be* a container, consider letting the chest have a property (such as Items) that is the container...

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.
