Reach an object from another class then the creation class

Question

Do anyone know how to reach the object objX from class Z if objX is created from class Y and is an instance of class X ? I believe it's possible to do so when using Unsafe Code since it's all about a reference to a memory address but I would like to avoid Unsafe Code. The main problem with not using Unsafe Code as far as I can see it is the GC. But hopefully there's a way to work around it. Regards

Members of class Y are accessible from class Z only if class Z holds a reference to aclass Y instance i.e. an instance of class Y is created in class Z. An exception is if object X is declared static in class Y. I dont think you can get around this using unsafe code. But needing unsafe code to fix this type of problem likely points to a bad design - there should be a way to do what you want without it. Bill F
