Wrapper Class in C#

Let's learn wrapper class today. Below is the formal bookish definition of Wrapper class.

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Data.SqlClient;

using System.Data;

using System.Diagnostics;

 

namespace BlogProject

{

 

    class Wrapper //Wrapper Class

    {

        class InnerClass //Inner Class

        {

            public Int32 ProcessData(int Val)

            {

                return Val + 1;

            }

        }

 

        public Int32 CallRapper()

        {

            Wrapper.InnerClass wpr = new Wrapper.InnerClass(); // Internally call to Wrapper class.

            return wpr.ProcessData(100);

        }

    }

 

    class Program

    {

        static void Main(string[] args)

        {

            Wrapper w = new Wrapper();

            Console.WriteLine("Data Process by inner class and show by Wrapper Class:-" + w.CallRapper());

            Console.ReadLine();
