4. Now I want to design a single class file say "Pages" in which there will be different functions like
- LoginPage
- HomePage

"LoginPage" function should have logic to call different methods from HTMLButton and HTMLText class files.
"HomePage" function should have logic to call different methods from HTMLButton and HTMLText class files.

Once this class is designed then we have the below mentioned problem.

***************************************************************************************
***************************************************************************************
5. In the Main class file I should be able to refer to the string value with

Pages.LoginPage.btn_Login - which should return me a string value.
where,
Pages is a class name from section 4.
LoginPage is a function name from section 4.
btn_Login is a function name from section 2.

Kindly provide some solution in c# code on how can we write the section 4 class file such that we can call the appropriate value in the main class file?

regards,
Sanjay

 

 

 

 

 

 

Answer : C# code for writing up a class file....

On a hunch is sounds like you should be using Master pages.  Master pages act like templates with prebuilt controls already defined.  You could have a 'Login' master page and a 'Home' master page and when you create a page include the master page with the behavior and layout you need predefined.

This question sounds like you are trying to reinvent the wheel.
