I have pondered this question often and have done it several ways but I am
wondering what is the correct OO way to handle this.

In my SQL Sever database I have the following tables for example,

Member and MemberStatus

Member status has two fields StatusCd and Description.  ex. 'A' and
'Active', 'I' and 'Inactive'

Member has a field called Status that tracks the status of that member.
What is the proper way to create this class?

public class Member
{
     private string m_SocSecNo;
     private string m_LastName;
     private string m_FirstName;
(A)     private string m_StatusCd or

(B)     private MemberStatus m_MemberStatus

(C)    private string m_StatusCd;
         private string m_StatusDescription;

}

public class MemberStatus
{
      private string m_StatusCd;
      private string m_Description;
}

Thanks
Bill
