Canadian Developer Connection : Windows Phone 7 Session Videos and Sli(blog.decarufel.net)

submitted by decarufe(959) 1 year, 10 months ago

Using Decorator Design Patterns to add Validation to an object(blog.decarufel.net)

submitted by decarufe(959) 2 years, 4 months ago

In most cases when someone write about the Decorator pattern it is usually related to UI stuff. The most common example is adding “decoration” to a control, for example a scroll bar. But in my humble opinion, this is not the most useful usage of Decorator. read more...
