Использование записей для хранения информации полей

01.01.2007
 { 
   
You sometimes wish to store multiple information in a given class like
   
in the example: alltogether when it belongs together.
   
Thus accessing this information from out of the class can be achieved
   
using property declaration. Its a good way to "clean your code" and
   make it
as "logic" as possible.
   
You also may have to store or load information from your class using
   file
or stream technology. This can be done at once for the recorded
   information
from within the given class.

TPersonRecord = Record
     
FirstName: String;
     
LastName: String;
     
BirthDate: TDate;

= class(TForm)
     Button1
: TButton;
     procedure Button1Click
(Sender: TObject);
   
private
     fActualUser

...
     procedure
SaveActualUser(S: TFileStream); // it's an example
    procedure
LoadActualUser(S: TFileStream);
     
...
   
public
     property
FirstName: string read  fActualUser.FirstName
                                write fActualUser
.FirstName;
     property
LastName : string read  fActualUser.LastName
                                write fActualUser
.LastName;
     property
BirthDate: TDate  read  fActualUser.BirthDate
                                write fActualUser
.BirthDate;
   
end;
 
 procedure TForm4
.SaveActualUser(S: TFileStream);
 
begin
   
// All that stuff at once in your Stream
  S
.Write(fActualUser, SizeOf(fActualUser))
 
end;
 
 procedure TForm4
.LoadActualUser(S: TFileStream);
 
begin
   
// All that stuff at once back in your class
  S
.Read(fActualUser, SizeOf(fActualUser));
 
end;
