Model Viewer Presenter. Take 3

by Marius Gheorghe 17. December 2009 06:40

In the past months i have been implementing in my projects MVP Passive View. You can find the description here. It works pretty good (in Windows Forms and Silverlight projects) and , from my point of view, it's far better than the "other" MVP implementation because the view remains without any logic responsability.

Here's how i implement it. Basically for each view action there is a associated method in the presenter.

public class OrderViewPresenter { private OrderViewDialog dialog = null;

public OrderViewPresenter(OrderViewDialog d)

  { 
	dialog = d; 
  } 


  public void DisplayData()			
 {			
	//invoke the Order Business Object and load the order			
	Order o = .......			
	d.textBoxOrderDate = o.OrderDate;			
 }			


 public void CreateNewOrder()			
 {			
	//create the new order base on the dialog data			
 }			

}

No branching. You're kidding...right ?

In real world you get to see a lot of WTF code. A lot. And then you stumble upon things like this. It looks like Flickr doesn't do branches , has only trunk and it pushes the trunk code into production a few times a day. For any software developer that's a giant WTF moment. It simply cannot be a good ideea.

Funny thing is that i met people who used to think that's a good ideea. I bet that when the next guy comes along will point that blog post to me and say : "But look at Flickr guys. It works for them" . Sigh...
