Ranjit Powar · Answer

I don't think so there is any other option to solve this.

Danish Habib · Answer

Ranjit Powar your solution is working , i was just asking about that , is there any other way to make your first class a base class and then by using the base keyword you can access the public members , whatever you wrote is working fine . Thanks

You were asked whether you can access public methods and properties without Inheritance, which of-course you can do by making an object of that class. That way Inheritance would be out of the picture.

Public class Admin { pulic int age{get;set;} public string greeting () { return "Hi Manas How are you and whats going on"; } } public class two { public int marks{get;set'} public void drive (){ //do something } public string method1() { Admin admin=new Admin(); return admin. greeting (); } } public static void main [string args[]) { two t1=new two(); t1.method1(); }

Dear Vipul Malhotra, yesterday i met with a meeting and there that question has raised how to get access to public methods and properties of a class from another class without inheritance , I think .NET framework support that kind of sceniro or not i am not sure.

Vipul Malhotra · Answer

Hi Danish, No, you would not be able to use it in the way you have suggested. The reason is quite simple. When you write : Admin A1=new Admin(); Two t2=(Two)A1; For compiler, the classes Admin and two are entirely different in a way that they don't have any sort of relation with each other. You would have to explicitly tell the .net compiler that the 2 classes are related and so the object of one can be casted into the another. This can be done using INHERITANCE. public class two : Admin Please let me know what exactly is the issue or shortcomings you are facing while using inheritance (if any) Hope it helped. Thanks

Manas Mohapatra · Answer

If you do not want Inheritance then you can create instance of first class and call the method. Class1 cc = new Class1(); cc.method1();
