Hi,
I have two classes, A and B, which have two attribute "Description" kind =
string.
is it correct to create another class C  ancestor for A and B ?

Are A and B the same type of things in your problem domain (i.e., in
the real world)?

Ok, A is the class descriptor of the class B, in my appl. there are some
classes Bx derived
from A and for each ones there are Bx descriptors.
Therefore, A and B are different kind of things .
I'm lazy , and I think to write only one time the "Descriptor" attribute is
a nice idea....

I wouldn't make them share a common ancestor if they are different
things, particularly if the only thing shared is one string property.

C'mon, it really isn't that much work.

Maybe you can define an interface "Descriptor" implemented by some
class, make A and B implement that interface and delegate the interface
implementation in both to a third class.

Hope it help.
