Implementation Guidance and Best Practices

Core Architectural Patterns

ILogic Interface Pattern

// Standard Implementation
public interface IAccountsLogic
{
    Task<Result<AccountDTO>> GetAccountAsync(AccountFilter filter, bool mixMode);
    Task<Result<AccountDTO>> SaveAccountAsync(AccountDTO accountDTO, bool mixMode);
}

// BL Implementation (Direct Database Access)
public class BLAccountsLogic : IAccountsLogic
{
    public Task<Result<AccountDTO>> GetAccountAsync(AccountFilter filter, bool mixMode)
    {
        using (var session = new BLSession())
        {
            return session.GetBL<AccountWebServiceBL>().GetAccount(loggedInUser, filter);
        }
    }
}

// WS Implementation (Web Service Access)
public class WSAccountsLogic : IAccountsLogic
{
    public Task<Result<AccountDTO>> GetAccountAsync(AccountFilter filter, bool mixMode)
    {
        return this._connection.CallWebServiceMethodWithSingleResultAsync(
            f => f.GetAccount(this._connection.GetRequest(filter)));
    }
}

ClassContainer Dependency Injection Usage

// Single Use Pattern
var result = await ClassContainer.Instance
    .WithInstance((IAccountsLogic logic) => logic.GetAccountAsync(filter, mixMode))
    .ThrowIfError();

// Multiple Use Pattern with Disposal
public class ViewModel : IDisposable
{
    private readonly IAccountsLogic _logic;

    public ViewModel()
    {
        _logic = ClassContainer.Instance.GetInstance<IAccountsLogic>();
    }

    public void Dispose()
    {
        ClassContainer.Instance.ReleaseInstance(_logic);
    }
}

Result Error Handling Pattern

// Method Signature Pattern
public Task<Result<AccountDTO>> GetAccountAsync(int accountI3D)

// Success Result Creation
return Result<AccountDTO>.AsSuccess(accountData);

// Error Result Creation
return Result<AccountDTO>.AsError("Account not found");

// Result Chaining
var result = await GetAccountAsync(id).ThrowIfError();
if (result.Status != ResultStatus.Success)
    return Result<ProcessedAccount>.FromResult(result);

Data Access Patterns

NHibernate Session Management

// Standard Session Pattern
public Task<Result<IList<AccountDTO>>> GetAccounts()
{
    return Task.Run(() =>
    {
        using (var session = new BLSession())
        {
            var result = session.GetBL<AccountWebServiceBL>()
                               .GetAccounts(this._connectionInfo.GetLoggedInUser());
            return result;
        }
    });
}

DTO Entity Conversion Pattern

// Base BL to WebService BL Pattern
public class AccountWebServiceBL : BaseBL
{
    private readonly AccountBL _accountBL;

    public AccountWebServiceBL()
    {
        _accountBL = new AccountBL();
    }

    public Result<AccountDTO> SaveAccount(AccountDTO accountDTO)
    {
        // Convert DTO to Entity
        var account = ConvertAccountDTOToAccount(accountDTO);

        // Call base BL
        var result = _accountBL.SaveAccount(account);

        if (result.Status != ResultStatus.Success)
            return Result<AccountDTO>.FromResult(result);

        // Convert Entity back to DTO
        return Result<AccountDTO>.AsSuccess(ObjectMapper.Map<AccountDTO>(result.Data));
    }
}

UI Architecture Patterns

MVVM ViewModel Pattern

public class AccountViewModel : BindableBase, IDisposable
{
    private readonly IAccountsLogic _accountsLogic;
    private AccountDTO _selectedAccount;

    public AccountDTO SelectedAccount
    {
        get { return _selectedAccount; }
        set { SetProperty(ref _selectedAccount, value); }
    }

    public DelegateCommand SaveAccountCommand { get; }

    public AccountViewModel()
    {
        _accountsLogic = ClassContainer.Instance.GetInstance<IAccountsLogic>();
        SaveAccountCommand = new DelegateCommand(ExecuteSaveAccount, CanExecuteSaveAccount);
    }

    private async void ExecuteSaveAccount()
    {
        var result = await _accountsLogic.SaveAccountAsync(SelectedAccount, true);
        if (result.Status == ResultStatus.Success)
        {
            // Update UI
        }
    }
}

Module Registration Pattern

public class AccountModuleController : ICentronAppModuleController
{
    public CentronConnectionType[] SupportedConnectionTypes =>
        new[] { CentronConnectionType.SqlServer, CentronConnectionType.CentronWebServices };

    public int[] RequiredUserRights =>
        new[] { UserRightsConst.Sales.Customer.SHOW_CUSTOMER };

    public string[] RequiredFeatures =>
        new[] { FeatureConst.CUSTOMER_MANAGEMENT };
}

Integration Patterns

External API Client Pattern

public class FinApiClient : RestClientBase, IFinApiClient
{
    public FinApiClient(RestClientCredentials credentials, bool sandBoxMode = false)
        : base(sandBoxMode ? FinApiConstants.SandboxUrl : FinApiConstants.LiveUrl, credentials)
    {
    }

    public async Task<Result<User>> GetUserAccount()
    {
        if (_accessToken == null || _accessToken.IsExpired())
            return Result<User>.AsError("No valid access token!");

        var request = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Get, FinApiConstants.UserPath);
        var response = await SendRequestWithAccessToken(request, _accessToken);

        return await DeserializeJsonContent<User>(response);
    }
}

Anti-Pattern Identification and Remediation

Critical Anti-Patterns Found

1. Direct Database Access in UI Layer

Problem: Some UI components directly accessing database without using ILogic interfaces Impact: Breaks architectural boundaries, prevents web service deployment Remediation: Refactor to use ILogic interfaces through ClassContainer

2. Synchronous Calls in Async Context

Problem: Using .Result or .Wait() in async methods Impact: Potential deadlocks, poor performance Remediation: Use await with ConfigureAwait(false)

3. Missing Result Error Handling

Problem: Some methods return void or throw exceptions instead of Result Impact: Inconsistent error handling, difficult debugging Remediation: Convert all methods to return Result pattern

4. Hard-coded Connection Strings

Problem: Connection strings embedded in code instead of configuration Impact: Deployment flexibility, security concerns Remediation: Use configuration management patterns

Performance Anti-Patterns

1. N+1 Query Problems

Problem: Multiple database queries in loops Impact: Poor performance, high database load Remediation: Use batch loading or JOIN queries

2. Missing Caching

Problem: Repeated expensive operations without caching Impact: Unnecessary resource usage Remediation: Implement appropriate caching strategies

3. Large Object Graphs

Problem: Loading entire object hierarchies when only subset needed Impact: Memory usage, network traffic Remediation: Use projection patterns and lazy loading
