Let's Play Around With Factory Design Pattern

Introduction


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

Question: What is a Factory Pattern?


In simple terms "Creates an object without exposing implementation logic to the client".

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="FactoryPatternApplication._Default" %>

 

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head id="Head1" runat="server">

    <title></title>

</head>

<body>

    <form id="form1" runat="server">

    <div>

        <h1 style="text-align: center; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large; color: Maroon">

        <center>

            <table>

                <tr>

                    <td>

                        <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Please Enter First Number" Font-Size="Small"

                            Font-Bold="true" Font-Italic="true" Font-Names="Verdana"></asp:Label>

                    </td>

                    <td>

                        <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>

                    </td>

                </tr>

                <tr>

                    <td>

                        <asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text="Please Enter Second Number" Font-Size="Small"

                    </td>

                    <td>

                        <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>

                    </td>

                </tr>

                <tr>

                    <td colspan="2">

                        <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Addition" Width="165px" Font-Names="Verdana"

                            BackColor="Orange" OnClick="Button3_Click" />

                    </td>

                </tr>

                <tr>

                    <td colspan="2">

                        <asp:Button ID="Button4" runat="server" Text="Division" Width="165px" Font-Names="Verdana"

                            BackColor="Orange" OnClick="Button4_Click" />

                    </td>

                </tr>

            </table>

            <table>

        {

            if (a == "Addition")

            {

                return new AdditionClass() ;

                  

            }

            elsereturn null;

        }

        public ISub getSub(string a)

        {

            if (a == "Subtraction")

            {

                return new SubtractionClass();

            else

            {

                var a = Button1.Text;IAdd obj_Add = objFactory.getAdd(a);

                lblResult.Text = "Addition Result of " + TextBox1.Text + " and " + TextBox2.Text + " is : <b>" + obj_Add.Add(Convert.ToDouble(TextBox1.Text),

                    Convert.ToDouble(TextBox2.Text)) + "</b>";TextBox1.Text = "";TextBox2.Text = "";

                    Convert.ToDouble(TextBox2.Text)) + "</b>";TextBox1.Text = "";TextBox2.Text = "";

            }

            {

                lblResult.Text = "Please Enter Some Values";

            }

            else{var a = Button3.Text;IMul obj_Mul = objFactory.getMul(a);lblResult.Text = "Multiplication Result of " + TextBox1.Text + " and " + TextBox2.Text + " is : <b>" + obj_Mul.Mul(Convert.ToDouble(TextBox1.Text),

                Convert.ToDouble(TextBox2.Text)) + "</b>";

            {

                lblResult.Text = "Please Enter Some Values";}else{var a = Button4.Text;

                IDiv obj_Div = objFactory.getDiv(a);

                lblResult.Text = "Division Result of " + TextBox1.Text + " and " + TextBox2.Text + " is : <b>" + obj_Div.Div(Convert.ToDouble(TextBox1.Text),

                    Convert.ToDouble(TextBox2.Text)) + "</b>";

                TextBox1.Text = "";TextBox2.Text = "";

            }

        }

        #region Instance MembersArthmeticFactory objFactory = new ArthmeticFactory();

        #endregion

    }

}


Step 12: The output of the application looks like this:
