Prototype Pattern

Prototype Pattern 


Gamma Categorization: Creational Design Patten
Summary: When the object construction reiterate existing designs. Its a partially or fully initialized object that you copy (clone) and make use of.

Sample Code

Problem: we need to create a Point object, that may be either Cartesian or Polar.

Custom Prototype Interface

public interface IPrototype<T>
{
    T DeepCopy();
}

public class DigitalCamera : IPrototype<DigitalCamera>
{
    public string Brand { get; set; }
    public string Model { get; set; }
    public DateTime Year { get; set; }

    public override string ToString() => $"Brand: {Brand}, Model: {Model}, Year: {Year}";

    public DigitalCamera DeepCopy()
    {
        return new DigitalCamera 
        {
            Brand = this.Brand,
            Model = this.Model,
            Year = this.Year
        };
    }
}

Usage

var camera = new DigitalCamera();
camera.Brand = "Canon";
camera.Model = "70D";
camera.Year = new System.DateTime(2013,1,1);

var camera2 = camera.DeepCopy();
camera2.Model = "80D";
camera2.Year = new System.DateTime(2016,1,1);
WriteLine(camera);
WriteLine(camera2);

Output
Brand: Canon, Model: 70D, Year: 01/01/2013 00:00:00
Brand: Canon, Model: 80D, Year: 01/01/2016 00:00:00

Serialized Copy Through Extension Interface

[Serializable]
public class DigitalCamera
{
    public string Brand { get; set; }
    public string Model { get; set; }
    public DateTime Year { get; set; }

    public override string ToString() => $"Brand: {Brand}, Model: {Model}, Year: {Year}";

}

public static class ExtensionMethods
{
    public static T DeepCopy<T>(this T self)
    {
        using (var ms = new MemoryStream())
        {
            var formatter = new BinaryFormatter();
            formatter.Serialize(ms, self);
            ms.Position = 0;

            return (T) formatter.Deserialize(ms);
        }
    }
}

Usage

var camera = new DigitalCamera();
camera.Brand = "Canon";
camera.Model = "70D";
camera.Year = new System.DateTime(2013,1,1);

var camera2 = camera.DeepCopy();
camera2.Model = "80D";
camera2.Year = new System.DateTime(2016,1,1);
WriteLine(camera);
WriteLine(camera2);

Output
Brand: Canon, Model: 70D, Year: 01/01/2013 00:00:00
Brand: Canon, Model: 80D, Year: 01/01/2016 00:00:00

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
