Reference to Parent Object

[rmatthew]

Ok, got my collection working (finally) ....

So I think I am going fine, but I need another bread crumb.

 

I would liek to make a property of an item that points back to its parent such as can be done with the datatable.row as below in the debug.writeline statement.

 

Dim dt As New DataTable

Dim dr As DataRow

dr = dt.NewRow

 

Debug.WriteLine(dr.Table.TableName)

 

Any ideas?

Using the hypothetical Collection and CollectedObject classes, why not just add a field/property to store the parent Collection of the CollectedObject (for example CollectedObject.Parent). On the Collection.Add and Collection.Remove methods, update CollectedObject.Parent.
