Introduction You can use the memento pattern to (partially) expose the internal state of an object. One use case for this pattern is to serialize an object to a file or as JSON for example, another is to build an…
Introduction In Design Patterns, the Iterator is a way of traversing over a container, that is access each of the container’s elements. It is used as a convenient way to traverse over lists or arrays, but it could also be…
Introduction The flyweight pattern is a pattern that helps minimize memory usage by sharing and reusing data. A common example is wordprocessor where each character not only holds the character like ‘A’ but also things like markup and formatting data.…
Introduction The Interpreter pattern can be used to interpret and evaluate sentences in a language. The idea is to make a class for each symbol, both terminal and non-terminal and construct a syntax tree which can be evaluated and interpreted.…
Introduction The facade pattern is used as a way to hide more complex logic. A facade can do the following: A facade pattern is typically used in the following cases: This might all sound quite complex, here is what it…
Introduction In Part 1 and Part 2, we established the core principles of using Result<T, E> for type-safe error handling and demonstrated how to compose operations using Map, Bind, and the LINQ query syntax. Modern C# development is dominated by…
Introduction The C# ecosystem has long relied on exceptions for signaling failure. While exceptions are powerful for truly exceptional, unexpected conditions (like a lost network connection or a corrupted file), using them for expected failure modes—such as user input validation…
Introduction: Bye-Bye Exceptions, Hello Type Safety 👋 Welcome to the first part of our series on Esox.SharpAndRusty, a C# library designed to bring the safety and clarity of Rust’s Result<T, E> type to the modern .NET ecosystem. In traditional C#…
Introduction In this article I discussed the implementation of the Abstract Factory pattern. The Factory Method is simply an extension of that pattern. Creating an object can sometimes be complex. A factory-method can abstract this complexity away, and let subclasses…

Introduction The prototype-pattern is a creational design pattern that allows us to create new objects by cloning existing ones, i.e. the existing objects function as a kind of template. This can save time in some cases when for example an…
Introduction The Abstract Factory Pattern is a way to group the creation of related objects, like products of a certain brand or make by building a common factory interface. If this all sounds abstract, a picture can help: A short…

Introduction The Adapter pattern is used to make one interface compatible with another. It allows objects with different, and therefore incompatible interface to work together. If you for example want to bring an existing class into your system with an…
