Structural Patterns: Introduction


Structural Design Patterns
Structural patterns are concerned with how classes and objects are composed to form larger structures.
 The patterns included in this category have the characteristics as follows:


 Decorator 
 Add new functionality dynamically to existing objects, or remove it
 Proxy     
Control access to an object.Create expensive objects on demand
 Bridge   
Enable development of the interface and implementation of a component to proceed  independently
 Composite
Treat single objects and composite objects in the same way
 Flyweight
Reduce the cost of working with large numbers of very small objects
 Adapter
Match otherwise incompatible interfaces
 Façade

 Reorganize a system with many subsystems into identifiable layers with single entry points
Simplify the interface to a complex subsystem 

This article is just to give you a glimpse of types of Structural patterns .
All these pattern details  and their implementations will soon  be covered.

Till next time....

Happy Coding

Asp.Net 4.0: An Overview-Part-III

This is the last post in the series which will explore the following new features of ASP.Net 4.0  Performance Monitoring for Individual Applications in a Single Worker Process Web.config File Refactoring Permanently Redirecting a Page Expanding the Range of Allowable URLs Performance Monitoring for Individual Applications in a Single Worker Process It is a common practice to host multiple ASP.NET applications in a single worker process, In order to increase the number of Web sites that can be hosted on a single server. This practice results in difficulties for server administrators to identify an individual application that is experiencing problems. ASP.NET 4 introduces new resource-monitoring functionality introduced by the CLR. To enable this functionality, following XML configuration snippet is added to the aspnet.config configuration file.(This file is located in the directory where the .NET Framework is installed ) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8...

WCF-REST Services-Part-II

HOW REST is implemented in WCF Part-I of the series explored the REST conceptually and this post will explore how REST is implemented in WCF. For REST implementation in WCF, 2 new attributes namely WebGetAttribute and WebInvokeAttribute are introduced in WCF along with a URI template mechanism that enables you to declare the URI and verb to which each method is going to respond. The infrastructure comes in the form of a binding ( WebHttpBinding ) and a behavior ( WebHttpBehavior ) that provide the correct networking stack for using REST. Also, there is some hosting infrastructure help from a custom Service¬Host ( WebServiceHost ) and a ServiceHostFactory ( WebServiceHostFactory ). How WCF Routes messages WCF routes network messages to methods on instances of the classes defined as implementations of the service. Default behavior ( Dispatching ) for WCF is to do this routing based on the concept of action. For this dispatching to work, an action needs to be present in ev...

WCF..Why Communication Foundation?

WCF (Basics..for building effective Services) WCF:  Windows Communication Foundation It includes a collection of of .NET distributed technologies that have existed for long , but never got grouped under one name. WCF can be considered as collection of the following technologies. Web Services(ASMX) NET Enterprise Services MSMQ .NET Remoting Code written in WCF can interact across components, applications and systems. WCF is in accordance with SOA (Service Oriented Architecture). Following Sections provide the details of these ABCs. Addresses In WCF, every service has a unique address. The address provides two important elements A)     Location of the service B)      Transport protocol or transport schema used to communicate with the service.  The location indicates the name of the target machine, site, or network; a communication port, pipe, or queue; and an optional specific path or URI. WCF supports th...
