How to access to the parent object in c#

Question

I have a "meter" class. One property of "meter" is another class called "production". I need to access to a property of meter class (power rating) from production class by reference. The powerRating is not known at the instantiation of Meter.

How can I do that ?

Thanks in advance

public class Meter {    private int _powerRating = 0;     private Production _production;     public Meter()    {       _production = new Production();    } } 

Answer 1

Store a reference to the meter instance as a member in Production:

public class Production {   //The other members, properties etc...   private Meter m;    Production(Meter m) {     this.m = m;   } } 

And then in the Meter-class:

public class Meter {    private int _powerRating = 0;     private Production _production;     public Meter()    {       _production = new Production(this);    } } 

Also note that you need to implement an accessor method/property so that the Production class can actually access the powerRating member of the Meter class.
