Extending Object Oriented Programming concepts further with abstraction and interfaces


Few days back I wrote for Solid and Grasp principles for oops

http://www.developerscloud.org/2014/08/oops-beyond-four-pillars-solid-and-grasp.html.

Now I am again extending it to make it more matured way to write code.

Let start with coupling and cohesion.

Loose/Low Coupling
  • low dependency between classes;
  • low impact in a class of changes in other classes
  • high reuse potential


High Cohesion
  • measure of how strongly-related or focused the responsibilities of a single module are
  • If methods of a class tend to be similar in many aspects, then the class have high cohesion
  • In highly-cohesive system, code readability and the likelihood of reuse is increased, while complexity is kept manageable.


Also check
  • Encapsulate what varies
  • Favor Composition over Inheritance
  • Program to interface not implementation
  • Strive for loosely coupled design between objects that interact


For Interfaces
  • Like an abstract base class: any non-abstract type inheriting the interface must implement all its members.
  • Cannot be instantiated directly.
  • Can contain events, indexers, methods and properties.
  • Contain no implementation of methods.
  • Classes and structs can inherit from more than one interface.
  • An interface can itself inherit from multiple interfaces.

·          
Difference between Interface and abstract base class

  • Abstract class can have non abstract methods, methods of an interface are effectively abstract since they contain only the signature
  • A class can implement any no of interfaces, but can subclass at most one abstract class.
  • An abstract class can declare and use variables, an interface cannot.
  • An abstract class can have methods whose access is public, internal, protected, protected internal and private. Interface members implicitly have public access.
  • An abstract class can declare constructor, an interface cannot.
  • An abstract class can have delegate, an interface cannot
In my next post i'll give you an example on how to implement implicit, explicit and generic interface in and enterprise level application.

Send a Fax in windows using faxcomexlib and TAPI in VB code .Net

An application that provides sending fax from faxmodem, connected to the computer, will be explained in the following post.  We can use Telephony Application Programming Interface (TAPI) and the Fax Service Extended Component Object Model (COM) API to send fax. The fax service is a Telephony Application Programming Interface (TAPI)-compliant system service that allows users on a network to send and receive faxes from their desktop applications. The service is available on computers that are running Windows 2000 and later. The fax service provides the following features: Transmitting faxes Receiving faxes Flexible routing of inbound faxes Outbound routing Outgoing fax priorities Archiving sent and received faxes Server and device configuration management Client use of server devices for sending and receiving faxes Event logging Activity logging Delivery receipts Security permissions The following Microsoft Visual Basic code example sends a fax. Note that...

Convert your datatable into generic poco object in c# using linq, ado and reflections.

Follow @harshit_parshii The most common problem that we face these days is to create a common class and method that can be used across all the projects and codes. So today I will be sharing my code where you can see how to make and create a generic function without using entity framework for ado. net. The scenario is like you have an old software that uses stored procedure to return set of entities as a data-table, you do not want to re-write the back-end code as you are creating a web API in c# which needs to be delivered asap. You need to map these data tables to models as you might be using MV* pattern. So here we will be doing one to one mapping of model to data- table, and in similar fashion insert or update can also be done. So basically we are converting a data-table to list of strongly typed object model to do CRUD operations. So we have following things before hand. A helper class is referenced as the database(dbFactory) which executes ado. ne...

Decoding underscore js SortBy - Sorting in javascript

Sorting can be the developers worst nightmare especially if it is done in more then one field. So what can help, recently doing research on it I came across underscore js sortBy (underscorejs.org/#sortBy) function which will help you to sort the array very effectively. So I was going through the documentation and found it very useful, but there are one drawback of it. Will let you know that: How to order in Ascending Order _.sortBy([6, 2, 4, 5, 3, 1], function(num){ return num }); [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ] How to order in Descending Order _.sortBy([6, 2, 4, 5, 3, 1], function(num){ return -num }); [ 6 , 5 , 4 , 3 , 2 , 1 ] The underscore sort by will also work with string literals Ascending _.sortBy(['6','2', '4', '5', '3', '1'], function(num){ return num }); [ " 1 " , " 2 " , " 3 " , " 4 " , " 5 " , " 6 " ] Descending _.sortBy(['6','2'...
