Make a private property to hold it. Possibly make it a dependent property

Thank you for the answer sir Walter. Could you show how it should look like?

Thank you once again sir Walter, definitely I need some practice. This field is relatively new to me. If possible could you structurise (meaning just number the topics), so that I could learn class (to master classes) step by step. For instance:

1) Properties

2)... and so on

If you could just tell the topics alone it would be a great help, I would manage it later on following your footsteps :).

I have seldom created a class myself; some of the other regular volunteers have much much more experience with them.

Oh ok sir Walter , thank you.
