Design Pattern in .NET 101 - Factory Method Pattern (Creational Pattern)
Download Sample Code
Factory Method Pattern defines an interface for creating an object, but let subclasses decide which class to instantiate. It lets a class defer instantiation to subclasses.
E.g., I defined a abstract News class.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
namespace FactoryPattern
{
abstract class News
{
}
}
Different kinds of […]
Design Pattern in .NET 101 - Facade Pattern (Structural Pattern)

E.g.
I have a Call Details Record (CDR) to be processed by different systems. It is defined in the CDR class
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
namespace FacadePattern
{

E.g.
BaseMessage is defined
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
namespace DecoratorPattern
{
abstract class BaseMessage
{
private string sender;

E.g.
I defined a IGreeting interface
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
namespace ProxyPattern
{
interface IGreeting
{
void SayHello();
}
}
Greeting implements IGreeting
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
