Class for different purposes

I have a class that is used by two different processes with each process using different properties of the class. Every time a process requires a new property, I just add it to the class. It is a bad idea? Should I just create two separate classes and update them as needed?

NB From time to time the same property is used by both processes and each process uses a different instance of the class.

General properties can be stored in one class. Then you can get two different classes from the general class and add specific properties.

"Shared properties can be stored in one class. Then you can get two different classes from a common class and add specific properties" - Kirtan Gore



class BaseClassWithSharedProperties
{
    public Int32 SharedId { get; set; }
    public String SharedName { get; get; }
}

class UniqueClassNumberOne : BaseClassWithSharedProperties
{
    public UniqueClassNumberOneProperty { get; set; }
}

class UniqueClassNumberTwo : BaseClassWithSharedProperties
{
    public UniqueClassNumberTwoProperty { get; set; }
}

Use a member list containing (named property, value) pairs in the class. Combine this with a factory with 2 methods returning instances seeded with the desired set of properties.
