Can I use the decorator pattern to wrap a method body?
- by mgroves
I have a bunch of methods with varying signatures. These methods interact with a fragile data connection, so we often use a helper class to perform retries/reconnects, etc. Like so:
MyHelper.PerformCall( () => { doStuffWithData(parameters...) });
And this works fine, but it can make the code a little cluttery. What I would prefer to do is decorate the methods that interact with the data connection like so:
[InteractsWithData]
protected string doStuffWithData(parameters...)
{
// do stuff...
}
And then essentially, whenever doStuffWithData is called, the body of that method would be passed in as an Action to MyHelper.PerformCall(). How do I do this?
