Let's assume that I have this scenario: I have got 2 repositories of information, and I want to access both, but it would be nice to leave the task of deciding which repo to use to common class.
The goal is to accomplish this with something similar to the code I've wrote below, but this sounds pretty bad:
where TOnline : class
where TOffline : class
where TContract : class
Sure I can ommit that, but bassically what I'm asking is what to do in order to stop using reflection and go typed. Maybe any design-pattern recomendation?
Code (if you copy/paste this on a console app replacing the Program
class you should be able to run the example)
using CustomerDispatcher = DispatcherProxy<CustomerOnline, CustomerOffline, ICustomer>;
public interface ICustomer
{
string Get(int id);
}
public class CustomerOnline : ICustomer
{
public string Get(int id)
{
// Get From intranet DB
return "From DB";
}
}
public class CustomerOffline : ICustomer
{
public string Get(int id)
{
// Get From local storage
return "From local storage";
}
}
public class DispatcherProxy<TOnline, TOffline, TContract>
where TOnline : class
where TOffline : class
where TContract : class
{
public TContract Instance { get; set; }
public bool IsConnected { get; set; }
public DispatcherProxy()
{
// Asume that I check if it's connected or not
if (this.IsConnected)
this.Instance = (TContract)Activator.CreateInstance(typeof(TOnline));
else
this.Instance = (TContract)Activator.CreateInstance(typeof(TOffline));
}
}
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var customerDispatcher = new CustomerDispatcher();
Console.WriteLine("Result: " + customerDispatcher.Instance.Get(1));
Console.Read();
}
}
Thanks in advance!
