Trying to create a list of customers that can increase to any size for a salesperson. I'm new to OOP in C# and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Is it because I am trying to add derived objects to my list of a base class? If so what would be the alternative?
class Program
{
List<Customer> customers = new List<Customer>();
static void Main(string[] args)
{
GetCustomerInfo();
}
static void GetCustomerInfo()
{
int prod1, prod2;
Console.WriteLine("Please enter the following info.");
Console.WriteLine("Type '1' for pickup, '2' for delivery: ");
string option = Console.ReadLine();
Console.Write("Name: ");
string name = Console.ReadLine();
Console.Write("10 digit Phone Number: ");
string number = Console.ReadLine();
Console.Write("Quantity of product 1: ");
bool success = false;
while (!success)
{
success = int.TryParse(Console.ReadLine(), out prod1);
}
bool success2 = false;
while (!success2)
{
success2 = int.TryParse(Console.ReadLine(), out prod2);
}
if(option == "1")
{
Console.WriteLine("Address: ");
string address = Console.ReadLine();
customers.Add(new DeliveryCustomer() { Name = name, PhoneNumber = number, Address = address });
}
else if (option == "2")
{
Console.WriteLine("Pick up time: ");
string time = Console.ReadLine();
customers.Add(new PickUpCustomer() { Name = name, PhoneNumber = number, PickUpTime = time });
}
customers.Add(new PickUpCustomer() { Name = name, PhoneNumber = number, PickUpTime = time });
Gives the following error. An object reference is required for the nonstatic field, method, or property 'member
}
}
class Customer
{
static int productOnePrice = 5;
static int productTwoPrice = 10;
private string name;
private string phoneNumber;
private int quantityOfProductOne;
private int quantityOfProductTwo;
public Customer()
{
name = "";
phoneNumber = "";
quantityOfProductOne = 0;
quantityOfProductTwo = 0;
}
public string Name
{
get => name;
set => name = value;
}
public string PhoneNumber
{
get => phoneNumber;
set
{
if(value.Length != 10)
{
Console.WriteLine("Invalid number. Must be 10 digits.");
}
else
{
phoneNumber = value;
}
}
}
public int QuantityOfProductOne
{
get => quantityOfProductOne;
set => quantityOfProductOne = value;
}
public int QuantityOfProductTwo
{
get => quantityOfProductTwo;
set => quantityOfProductTwo = value;
}
}
class DeliveryCustomer : Customer
{
private string address;
public string Address
{
get => address;
set => address = value;
}
public DeliveryCustomer()
{
address = "";
}
}
class PickUpCustomer : Customer
{
private string pickUpTime;
public string PickUpTime
{
get => pickUpTime;
set => pickUpTime = value;
}
public PickUpCustomer()
{
pickUpTime = "";
}
}
I apologize if this is a silly question, I just haven't been able to wrap my head around some of the OOP concepts.
