Hi
To make it possible to unit test and to use constructor injection I often write wrappers for dotnet classes. Like the ones you find in the System.Web namespace, eg. HttpContextWrapper. I normally write: "public interface ISomeDotNetClass" and "public class SomeDotNetClassWrapper". Then I use the interface to inject with.
As I see it this is to use the Adapter pattern. Some code I have seen use the naming "Facade" for the same purpose. But as I see it, it is better to use "SomeDotNetClassWrapper" or "SomeDotNetClassAdapter". Using the naming "Facade" I think is more proper if you want to extract an interface for a whole subsystem.
What do you think is the best naming convention? "SomeDotNetClassWrapper", "SomeDotNetClassAdapter" or "SomeDotNetClassFacade".
If I want to wrap a static class or a class with static methods is it proper to use the same namingconvention? Lets say I want to make "System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager" abstract. Is the following ok, even if I dont send in an instance of any class in the wrapper instead call the static methods?
public interface IConfigurationManager
public class ConfigurationManagerWrapper
I hope you understand my thoughts. I would like some advise.
