Just to clarify, I have this working using dynamic and MakeGenericType. But I cant help but think there is a better way to do this. What I am trying to do is create a "plug-in" loader, using Unity. I will just explain it as I post the code so you can get a sense for what I am doing.
First I'll just post the plug-in itself:
[RegisterAction("MyPlugin", typeof(bool), typeof(MyPlugin))]
public class MyPlugin: IStrategy<bool>
{
public IStrategyResult<bool> Execute(ISerializable info = null)
{
bool result;
try
{
// do stuff
result = true;
}
catch (Exception)
{
result = false;
}
return new StrategyResult<bool>
{
Value = result
};
}
}
Couple things to note here. First is the RegisterActionAttribute:
[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Class)]
public sealed class RegisterActionAttribute : Attribute
{
public StrategyAction StrategyAction { get; }
public RegisterActionAttribute(string actionName, Type targetType, Type returnType, params string[] depdencies)
{
StrategyAction = new StrategyAction
{
Name = actionName,
StrategyType = targetType,
ResponseType = returnType,
Dependencies = depdencies
};
}
}
Then the interfaces:
public interface IStrategy<T>
{
IStrategyResult<T> Execute(ISerializable info = null);
}
public interface IStrategyResult<T>
{
bool IsValid { get; set; }
T Value { get; set; }
}
All fairly straight forward. The goal here is just to attach some meta-data to the class when it is loaded. The loading happens via unity using a wrapper that simply loads the assemblies in the bin directory using a file search pattern and adds it to a singleton class with a collection of StrategyActions. I don't need paste all the unity code here as I know it works and registers and resolves the assemblies.
So now to the meat of the question. I have a function on the singleton that executes actions. These are applied with Unity.Interception HandlerAttributes and passed a string like so (I can post the code for this but I didn't think it was relevant):
[ExecuteAction("MyPlugin")]
The handler calls the following execute function on the singleton class to "execute" functions that are registered (added to the collection).
public dynamic Execute(string action, params object[] parameters)
{
var strategyAction = _registeredActions.FirstOrDefault(a => a.Name == action);
if (strategyAction == null)
return null;
var type = typeof (IStrategy<>);
var generic = type.MakeGenericType(strategyAction.StrategyType);
var returnType = typeof (IStrategyResult<>);
var genericReturn = returnType.MakeGenericType(strategyAction.ResponseType);
var instance = UnityManager.Container.Resolve(generic, strategyAction.Name);
var method = instance.GetType().GetMethod("Execute");
return method.Invoke(instance, parameters);
}
This execute is wrapped in an enumerator call which returns a collection of results, which sorts to manage dependencies and what not (see below). These values are referenced by the caller using the Value property of ISTrategyResult{T} to do various things defined by other business rules.
public List<dynamic> ExecuteQueuedActions()
{
var results = new List<dynamic>();
var actions = _queuedActions.AsQueryable();
var sortedActions = TopologicalSort.Sort(actions, action => action.Dependencies, action => action.Name);
foreach(var strategyAction in sortedActions)
{
_queuedActions.Remove(strategyAction);
results.Add(Execute(strategyAction.Name));
}
return results;
}
Now mind you, this works, and I get the return type that is specified by the plugins RegisterAction attribute. As you can see I am capturing the Type of the plugin and the return type. I am using the "generic" variable to resolve the type with unity through the use of MakeGenericType, which works fine. I am also creating a generic representing the return type based on the type from the collection.
What I don't like here is having to use dynamic to return this value to a function. I can't figure out a way to return this as a IStrategyResult{T} because obviously the caller to "dynamic Execute(..." can not, at run-time, imply return type of the function. I mulled around with making the call to Execute with a MakeGenericMethod call as I actually have the expected type the StrategyAction. It would be cool if I could some how figure out away to return a strongly typed result of IStrategyResult{T} while determining the type of T during the call.
I do understand why I cannot do this with my current implementation I am just trying to find a way to wrap all this functionality without using dynamic. And was hoping somebody could provide some advice that might be useful. If that means wrapping this with other calls to non-generic classes or something like that, that would be fine as well if that is the only solution.
