I have a class Category with two a property name as string.
and have a other class that use this class.
Public Class Myclass
{
public virtual Category Category
{
get;
set;
}
}
I have a object of Myclass. I want set string value for Category Property of this object .
Myclass cls=new Myclass();
cls.Category=// a string value
How to set this ?
For example, if one of those string properties is "Name" then you just set it like this:
Myclass cls=new Myclass();
cls.Category = new Category();
cls.Category.Name = "CategoryName1";
Note that the Name property must be accessible to the calling code (e.g. public).
Or you can write it like this:
Myclass cls=new Myclass();
cls.Category = new Category {Name = "CategoryName1"};
From your example:
Public Class Myclass
{
public virtual Category Category
{
get;
set;
}
}
I am thinking you mean this:
Public Class Myclass
{
public string Category { get; set; } // variable
public MyClass() {} //<- empty constructor-might be created by default .. but I like to put them in
}
then call:
Myclass cls=new Myclass();
cls.Category= "text here";
It looks like your type for the Category variable is Category instead of string?
Unless you already have a Category type somewhere that you want to use.
Hope this helps!
You cannot set string value to non-string field. But if you need that string inside class instance, you can write like this:
public class MyClass
{
public Category Category { get; set; }
}
public class Category
{
public Category(string name)
{
Name = name;
}
public string Name { get; set; }
}
And then declare Category field of MyClass like this:
var cls = new MyClass();
cls.Category = new Category("hello");
Is this what you meant?
public class Category
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }
}
Category myCategory = new Category();
myCategory.Category.Name = "Basketball";
myCategory.Category.Description = "Played Indoors";
Tutorial Reference: Below are some examples to help you understand properties and class's
Categoryis of a type also calledCategory. But we don't know what thisCategoryis? Is it a class or an enum, perhaps? We need to know that. Why do you think astringtype should convert toCategorytype? SinceSystem.Stringdoes not derive from (or implement) anything calledCategory, you will need an implicit conversion operator for it to work. Or simply call some method explicitly which converts yourstringintoCategory.
