Problem of inheritance of form class. I want to understand the level of abstraction that is needed by a form class.

Thanks you.

What I have tried:

Dealing with class form in C#, I have heard that it's better to not create a class that inherits from another form class you created.

But I have a form "Human". This form has some usefull panels and I don't want to recreate that.

Is it better to create these panels somewhere else (as CustomControl) than to create a class inherited from my own form "Human" ?

Solution 1

Inheritance is (a form of) code re-using. If such code re-using is a clear advantage in your scenario then go on with it.

Solution 2

If you create a Form (for example) which you will later use as a Template (that means that you have common methods and/or common controls and/or common behaviour) then this will be a good example for such Inheritance.
