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"

SOLID principles -Code Samples and Free Ebook

I planned to write code samples for SOLID principle implementations, however I am a firm believer of " NOT RE-INVENTING THE WHEEL ", when all you need is use the wheels and make a new CAR. Going by the ideology, I have found an excellent  SOLID principles FREE -Ebook ( covering all aspects of SOLID design principles, with Code sample). This book is an excellent visual aid to remember these principles, as it uses Motivational posters for explaining SOLID design principles. One additional advantage to the above mentioned book is the Code-Refactoring ebook . Both of these books can be downloaded from this EBOOK download Link Both of these books can be downloaded form here. Hope this book proves useful... Till next we connect.... Happy Learning..

Covariance and Contravariance-General Discussion

If you have just started the exploration of .Net Framework 4.0, two terms namely Covariance and Contravariance might have been heard. The concept that these terms encapsulate are used by most developer almost daily, however there has never been any botheration about the terminologies. Now, what actually these terms mean and how are these going to affect us as a developer, if we dive in to the details. The simple answer is it’s always good to know your tools before actually using them. Enough philosophy, let’s get to the business. Starting the discussion let me reiterate that in addition to Covariance and Contravariance, there is another terminology, Invariance. I’ll by start here by diving into the details of Invariance and then proceed further. Invariance: Invariance can be better understood by considering the types in .Net.>net has basically two type, value-types and reference-types. Value types (int, double etc) are invariant i.e. the types can’t be interchanged either
