I saw multiple examples in MSDN that uses to declare the internal fields at the end of the class. What is the point?

I find this a little embarrassing, because each time Visual Studio adds a method it adds it to the end of the class, so there is need every time to move it...

class A
{
  public A(){}
  // Methods, Properties, etc ...

  private string name;
}

class A
{
  private string name;

  public A(){}  
  // Methods, Properties, etc ...
}

I'm wondering how you'd recommend designin a class, given the fact that XNA Framework uses Struct all over the place? For example, a spite class, which may require a Vector2 and a Rectangle (both defined as Struct) to be accessed outside of the class. The issue come in when you try to write code… >>> More

OK I've got 2 really big classes 1k lines each that I currently have split up into multiple ones. They then get recombined using multiple inheritance. Now I'm wondering, if there is any cleaner/better more pythonic way of doing this. Completely factoring them out would result in endless amounts of… >>> More
