I am developing a application for sports clubs administraion. And my problem is that I have one primary class Member which contains all the "default" information (name, surname, gender...) and two other classes Coach and Practitioner which inherit from Member. A coach has some specific properties (salary, trainings held in current month...) wheres a practitioner has some others (isCompetitor, category ...)
The problem is that a Practitoner can also be a Trainer as well as the other way around. How can I model this into something that is better then having two entries for the same person?
Edit: this is how it looks now
Class Member {}
Class Coach:Member {}
Class Practitioner:Member {}
You can create one class 'member' that contains a list of roles. Each role (coach and/or practitioner) inherit from a base class 'role' which contains all properties you now have in your member class. Coach and practitioner than have their own specific properties. So:
public class Member {
public IList<Role> Roles { get; private set; }
public Member(){
Roles = new List<Role>();
}
}
public class Role {
public string SomeGlobalProperty { get; set; }
}
public class Coach : Role {
public string SomeSpecificProperty { get; set; }
}
public class Practitioner : Role {
public string SomeSpecificProperty { get; set; }
}
