Iterator Pattern

Iterator Pattern 


Gamma Categorization: Behavioral Design Pattern
Summary: Provide a way to access the elements of an aggregate object sequentially without exposing its underlying representation.

Sample Code

Problem: We want to apply several commands on the digital camera.

Code

public class Photo
{
    public string Name { get; set; }

    public Photo(string name)
    {
        this.Name = name;
    }
}

public interface IPhotoCollection
{
    IPhotoIterator CreateIterator();
}

public interface IPhotoIterator
{
    Photo First();
    Photo Next();
    bool IsDone { get; }
    Photo CurrentPhoto { get; }
}

public class PhotoCollection : IPhotoCollection
{
    private ArrayList _items = new ArrayList();

    public IPhotoIterator CreateIterator()
    {
        return new PhotoIterator(this);
    }

    public int Count
    {
        get { return _items.Count; }
    }

    public object this[int index]
    {
        get { return _items[index]; }
        set { _items.Add(value); }
    }
}

public class PhotoIterator : IPhotoIterator
{
    private PhotoCollection _photos;
    private int _current = 0;
    private int _step = 1;

    public Photo CurrentPhoto { get { return _photos[_current] as Photo; } }

    public bool IsDone { get { return _current >= _photos.Count; } }

    public PhotoIterator(PhotoCollection photos)
    {
        this._photos = photos;
    }

    public Photo First()
    {
        _current = 0;
        return _photos[_current] as Photo;
    }

    public Photo Next()
    {
        _current += _step;
        if (!IsDone)
            return _photos[_current] as Photo;
        else
            return null;
    }
}

Usage

PhotoCollection photoCollection = new PhotoCollection();
photoCollection[0] = new Photo("IMG_01");
photoCollection[1] = new Photo("IMG_02");
photoCollection[2] = new Photo("IMG_03");
photoCollection[3] = new Photo("IMG_04");
photoCollection[4] = new Photo("IMG_05");
photoCollection[5] = new Photo("IMG_06");
photoCollection[6] = new Photo("IMG_07");
photoCollection[7] = new Photo("IMG_08");
photoCollection[8] = new Photo("IMG_09");

PhotoIterator photoIterator = new PhotoIterator(photoCollection);

for (Photo p = photoIterator.First(); !photoIterator.IsDone; p = photoIterator.Next())
{
    System.Console.WriteLine($"{p.Name}");           
}

Output

IMG_01
IMG_02
IMG_03
IMG_04
IMG_05
IMG_06
IMG_07
IMG_08
IMG_09

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)         {             oldStream = stream;             newStream = new MemoryStream();             return newStream;         }         // When the SOAP extension is accessed for the first time, the XML Web
