I got some C# classes with a method which creates a string I need. 2 classes does it the same but 1 class does it differently:
public class Base
{
public abstract bool GetAction(out string res);
}
// There is another class B which does the same
public class A : Base
{
public override bool GetAction(out string res)
{
...
string str1 = some logic to get a string needed
string str2 = some logic to get another string needed
res = str1 + str2;
...
}
}
public class C : Base
{
List<Configs> configs;
...
public override bool GetAction(out string res)
{
...
for(int i = 0 ; i < configs.size(); i++)
{
string str1 = some logic to get string based on configs[i].cfgString;
string str2 = some logic to get another string based on configs[i].cfgString;
res = res + configs[i].cfgString + str1 + str2; //immutable string is not the issue here so please ignore it
}
}
Now there's a need to get the str1 and str2 by itself.
I started making a return class instead of the bool of the GetAction method like this:
public StringsInfoClass
{
public string Str1 { get; set; }
public string Str2 { get; set; }
...
public string ToString()
{
return Str1 + Str2;
}
}
The problem is that classes A and B has indeed only a single Str1 and Str2 while class C can have several of them. And since they are deriving from the same base class, the user will expect the same interface. What do you believe a good implementation for this problem here could be?
