If you mean something like an extended version behavior implemented by Color.Red this is sometimes refered to as the "descriptor pattern". regards, Daniel ________________________________________ From: Discussion of development on the .NET platform using any managed language [[email protected]] On Behalf Of Brady Kelly [[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2008 11:52 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [DOTNET-CLR] Pattern: Static Properties Return Objects I often have a situation where my info needs progress beyond a simple enum. I then create a class, with a private constructor that takes an enum, and returns an object representing one of the enum items, but with more data. I expose static getters to construct and return each type of object, so that using the class appears as if using an enum. Is there a name for this pattern or practice? =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentor? http://www.develop.com View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentor® http://www.develop.com View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com
