Bridge Pattern

Bridge Pattern 


Gamma Categorization: Structural Design Pattern
Summary: A mechanism that decouples an interface (hierarchy) from an implementation (hierarchy).

Sample Code

Problem: We want to be able to implement the photo storage mechanism.

Code

public interface IStorage
{
    void SaveFile(byte[] bytes);
}

public class InternalStorage : IStorage
{
    public void SaveFile(byte[] bytes)
    {
        System.Console.WriteLine("File sent to disk.");
    }
}

    public class CloudStorage : IStorage
{
    public void SaveFile(byte[] bytes)
    {
        System.Console.WriteLine("File sent to server.");
    }
}

public class DigitalCamera
{
    private IStorage storage;

    public DigitalCamera(IStorage storage)
    {
        this.storage = storage;
    }

    public void TakePhoto()
    {
        // Simulation of taking a photo from the digital image sensor
        byte[] photo = new byte[1024];
        System.Console.WriteLine("Photo retrieved.");

        // Saving photo
        storage.SaveFile(photo);
    }

}

Usage

var camera = new DigitalCamera(new CloudStorage());
camera.TakePhoto();

Output

Photo retrieved.
File sent to server.

Software Development

Software Development Agile Agile is an insurance policy for market changes. By designing your solution according to this methodology, your project remains flexible and is always ready for change. It is always better to correct the mistake early in the process. With this method, you keep your finger on the pulse of a dynamic market and changing user expectations. As a result, you can continuously adapt, change your strategy, and create a product that will be in demand by the target audience, even if preferences have changed during the development process. DevOps DevOps is one more way to optimize the development budget of your application. A key DevOps approach is that this practice and its culture allow team members to better interact with each other and the customer. The software development team and those responsible for the operation of the application share responsibilities clearly, and it helps you avoid shifting responsibilities from one team member to another. DevOps involves th...

XML Webservice (ASMX) - SOAP Request and Response Invocation logging

You are an integration developer. Eventualy you came into the state where there is nothing else you can debug, and you have to check which SOAP request it is built on the request, and which SOAP response you are getting from the server. C# XML Webservice (ASMX) - SOAP Request and Response Invocation logging In the legaccy .NET framework System.Web.Services , this means using soapExtensions to help you intersept the interaction with the webservice. This is done like so:  public class TraceExtension : SoapExtension     {         Stream oldStream;         Stream newStream;         string filename;         // Save the Stream representing the SOAP request or SOAP response into          // a local memory buffer.          public override Stream ChainStream(Stream stream)         {           ...

SOLID (3/5) - Liskov substitution principle

  SOLID (3/5) - Liskov substitution principle Substitutability is a principle in object-oriented programming stating that, in a computer program, if S is a subtype of T, then objects of type T may be replaced with objects of type S (i.e., an object of type T may be substituted with any object of a subtype S) without altering any of the desirable properties of the program (correctness, task performed, etc.). More formally, the Liskov substitution principle (LSP) is a particular definition of a subtyping relation, called (strong) behavioral subtyping. It is a semantic rather than merely syntactic relation, because it intends to guarantee semantic interoperability of types in a hierarchy, object types in particular. using   System ; namespace   Liskov {      public   class   Rectangle     {          //public int Width { get; set; }   ...
