I am newbie to MVC3 application development, currently, we need following Application technologies as requirement
MVC3 framework
IOC framework – Autofac to manage object creation dynamically
Moq –
Unit testing
Entity Framework
Repository and
Unit Of Work Pattern of Model class
I have gone through many article to explore an basic idea about the above points but still I am little bit confused on the “Repository and
Unit Of Work Pattern “. Basically what I understand
Unit Of Work is a pattern which will be followed along with Repository Pattern in order to share the single DB Context among all Repository object, So here is my design :
IUnitOfWork.cs
public interface IUnitOfWork : IDisposable
{
IPermitRepository Permit_Repository{ get; }
IRebateRepository Rebate_Repository { get; }
IBuildingTypeRepository BuildingType_Repository { get; }
IEEProjectRepository EEProject_Repository { get; }
IRebateLookupRepository RebateLookup_Repository { get; }
IEEProjectTypeRepository EEProjectType_Repository { get; }
void Save();
}
UnitOfWork.cs
public class UnitOfWork : IUnitOfWork
{
#region Private Members
private readonly CEEPMSEntities context = new CEEPMSEntities();
private IPermitRepository permit_Repository;
private IRebateRepository rebate_Repository;
private IBuildingTypeRepository buildingType_Repository;
private IEEProjectRepository eeProject_Repository;
private IRebateLookupRepository rebateLookup_Repository;
private IEEProjectTypeRepository eeProjectType_Repository;
#endregion
#region IUnitOfWork Implemenation
public IPermitRepository Permit_Repository
{
get
{
if (this.permit_Repository == null)
{
this.permit_Repository = new PermitRepository(context);
}
return permit_Repository;
}
}
public IRebateRepository Rebate_Repository
{
get
{
if (this.rebate_Repository == null)
{
this.rebate_Repository = new RebateRepository(context);
}
return rebate_Repository;
}
}
}
PermitRepository .cs
public class PermitRepository : IPermitRepository
{
#region Private Members
private CEEPMSEntities objectContext = null;
private IObjectSet<Permit> objectSet = null;
#endregion
#region Constructors
public PermitRepository()
{
}
public PermitRepository(CEEPMSEntities _objectContext)
{
this.objectContext = _objectContext;
this.objectSet = objectContext.CreateObjectSet<Permit>();
}
#endregion
public IEnumerable<RebateViewModel> GetRebatesByPermitId(int _permitId)
{
// need to implment
}
}
PermitController .cs
public class PermitController : Controller
{
#region Private Members
IUnitOfWork CEEPMSContext = null;
#endregion
#region Constructors
public PermitController(IUnitOfWork _CEEPMSContext)
{
if (_CEEPMSContext == null)
{
throw new ArgumentNullException("Object can not be null");
}
CEEPMSContext = _CEEPMSContext;
}
#endregion
}
So here I am wondering how to generate a new Repository for example “TestRepository.cs” using same pattern where I can create more then one Repository object like
RebateRepository rebateRepo = new RebateRepository ()
AddressRepository addressRepo = new AddressRepository()
because , what ever Repository object I want to create I need an object of UnitOfWork first as implmented in the PermitController class. So if I would follow the same in each individual Repository class that would again break the priciple of
Unit Of Work and create multiple instance of object context.
So any idea or suggestion will be highly appreciated.
Thank you
