Let's Play Around With Strategy Design Pattern

Introduction

Today, in this article let's play around with one of the interesting and most useful concept of design pattern, which will be hosted on web app.

Question: What is Strategy Pattern?

In simple terms "The algorithmic code is implemented in various specific classes and can be used when required. The algorithmic code differs from one class to another".

I think we are now good to go to implement this wonderful concept.

Step 1: The complete code of Default.aspx looks like this:

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="StatergyDesignPatternApplication._Default" %>

Step 2: The complete code of IArthmetic.cs looks like this:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
namespace StatergyDesignPatternApplication
{
public interface IArthmetic { double ArthmeticOperation(double a, double b);}
}

Step 3: The complete code of AdditionClass.cs looks like this:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
namespace StatergyDesignPatternApplication
{
public class AdditionClass : IArthmetic { public double ArthmeticOperation(double a, double b) { return a + b; } }
}

Step 4: The complete code of SubtractionClass.cs looks like this:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
namespace StatergyDesignPatternApplication
{
public class SubtractionClass : IArthmetic
{
public double ArthmeticOperation(double a, double b)
{
return a - b;
}
}
}

Step 5: The complete code of MultiplicationClass.cs looks like this:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
namespace StatergyDesignPatternApplication
{
public class MultiplicationClass : IArthmetic
{
public double ArthmeticOperation(double a, double b)
{
return a * b;
}
}
}

Step 6: The complete code of DivisionClass.cs looks like this:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
namespace StatergyDesignPatternApplication
{
public class DivisionClass : IArthmetic
{
public double ArthmeticOperation(double a, double b)
{
return a / b;
}
}
}

Step 7: The complete code of Default.aspx.cs looks like this:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;namespace StatergyDesignPatternApplication
{
public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e){}
public void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(TextBox1.Text) || string.IsNullOrEmpty(TextBox2.Text))
{
lblResult.Text = "Please Enter Some Values";
}
else{lblResult.Text = "Addition Result of " + TextBox1.Text + " and " + TextBox2.Text + " is: <b>" + objAdd.ArthmeticOperation(Convert.ToDouble(TextBox1.Text),
Convert.ToDouble(TextBox2.Text)).ToString() + "</b>";TextBox1.Text = "";TextBox2.Text = "";
}
}
public void Button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(TextBox1.Text) || string.IsNullOrEmpty(TextBox2.Text))
{
lblResult.Text = "Please Enter Some Values";
}
else{lblResult.Text = "Subtraction Result of " + TextBox1.Text + " and " + TextBox2.Text + " is: <b>" + objSub.ArthmeticOperation(Convert.ToDouble(TextBox1.Text),
Convert.ToDouble(TextBox2.Text)).ToString() + "</b>";TextBox1.Text = "";TextBox2.Text = "";
}
}
public void Button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(TextBox1.Text) || string.IsNullOrEmpty(TextBox2.Text)){lblResult.Text = "Please Enter Some Values";
}
else{lblResult.Text = "Multiplication Result of " + TextBox1.Text + " and " + TextBox2.Text + " is: <b>" + objMul.ArthmeticOperation(Convert.ToDouble(TextBox1.Text),
Convert.ToDouble(TextBox2.Text)).ToString() + "</b>";TextBox1.Text = "";TextBox2.Text = "";
}
}
public void Button4_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(TextBox1.Text) || string.IsNullOrEmpty(TextBox2.Text)){lblResult.Text = "Please Enter Some Values";
}
else{lblResult.Text = "Division Result of " + TextBox1.Text + " and " + TextBox2.Text + " is: <b>" + objDiv.ArthmeticOperation(Convert.ToDouble(TextBox1.Text),
Convert.ToDouble(TextBox2.Text)).ToString()+"</b>";TextBox1.Text = "";TextBox2.Text = "";
}
}
#region Instance VariablesIArthmetic objAdd = new AdditionClass();IArthmetic objSub = new SubtractionClass();
IArthmetic objMul = new MultiplicationClass();IArthmetic objDiv = new DivisionClass();
#endregion
}
}

Step 8: The output of the application looks like this:

Step 9: The output of the nothing entered application looks like this:

Step 10: The output of the addition operation application looks like this:
