    <p>what I mean by that is: I basically have a class that has too many properties and functions now. To remain performant and understandable, it needs to shrink somehow. But I still need all those properties and methods somewhere. It's like this right now:</p> <pre><code>class Apple float seedCount; ... ...about 25 variables and properties here. void Update() &lt;-- a huge method that checks for each property and updates if so </code></pre> <p>In most cases the class needs almost none of those properties. In some cases in needs to be able to grow very selectively and gain a feature or lose a feature. The only solution I have come up with, is that I create a bunch of classes and place some properties in there. I only initialize this classes object when one of those properties is needed, otherwise it remains null.</p> <pre><code>class Apple Seed seed; </code></pre> <p>Many problems because of that: I constantly have to check for every single object and feature each frame. If the seed is not initialized I don't have to calculate anything for it. If it is, I have to. If I decided to put more than 1 property/feature into the Seed class, I need to check every single one of those aswell. It just gets more and more complicated. The problem I have is therefore, that I need granular control over all the features and can't split them intelligently into larger subclasses. Any form of subclass would just contain a bunch of properties that need to be checked and updated if wanted. I can't exactly create subclasses of Apple, because of the need for such high granular control. It would be madness to create as many classes as there are combinations of properties. My main goal: I want short code.</p>

    1. COBased on your comments to Tesserex's answer, I think you may be approaching the problem wrong. You are trying to use composition and/or inheritance, when neither appear to be the solution. Could you provide a more explicit example of what you are trying to achieve, with a detailed explanation of what your shop does, and how different components are supposed to interact from a real-world perspective?

    2. COhttp://dl.dropbox.com/u/700060/ResponsibilitiesClass.rar Alright, I made a full vs2010 solution that shows my current solution in an abbreviated form. It compiles and you can step through the program to see what happens. If you don't have vs2010, you can look at the c# source code, I commented all areas that would like to see improvement. (sry for the stupid solution/project name) Happy for any thoughts on improving this. It is very unwieldy.

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.
