I have a class that has grown quite large. It has come to pass that I would like to expose a very small subset of this class' functionality as another class(?). Here's the example:
I have class Foo with 10 methods lets say (Meth1 - Meth10) class Foo { Meht1 { } Meth2 { } etc... } What I would like to do is something like the following: 1) Create a class that exposes only a portion of the functionality of class Foo, Bar is a good name for this. class Bar : inherits Foo (?) { Meth1 { } Meth7 { } } 2) Give the "user" a choice of which class they would like to use depending on the functionality they need. class TestFooAndBar { Foo myFoo = new Foo(); Bar myBar = new Bar(); myFoo.Meth1 //works myFoo.Meth5 //works myBar.Meth1 //works just like the myFoo call above myBar.Meth5 //oops, the method doesn't exist } Is this doable? I don't really want to rewrite Foo into a new Bar, because Bar would need about 90% of the internal Foo code to work properly and I would like to avoid big changes to Foo as it is already implemented in a large volume of code. What to do? TIA CJ You can read messages from the DOTNET archive, unsubscribe from DOTNET, or subscribe to other DevelopMentor lists at http://discuss.develop.com.
