ProtoType Design Pattern

Prototype pattern gives us a way to create new objects from the existing instance of the object.

That is, we clone the existing object with its data. By cloning any changes to the cloned object does not affect the original object value.

In below example i have used ProtoTypePattern which need to be clonned. This can be achieved by using MemberWiseClone method.

 Create ProtoTypePattern.cs class file and add below code.

 using System;  
 namespace dotnetfundamentals.DesignPatterns  
 {  
   //This is the class to be Cloned  
   public class ProtoTypePattern  
   {  
     public string sName { get; set; }  
     public ProtoTypePattern getClone()  
     {  
       //MemberWiseClone function will cereate complete new cpoy of object  
       return (ProtoTypePattern)this.MemberwiseClone();  
     }  
   }  
 }  

Add below code in Program.cs file.

 using System;  
 namespace dotnetfundamentals.DesignPatterns  
 {  
   class Program  
   {  
     static void Main(string[] args)  
     {  
       //This is the first copy of the the object  
       ProtoTypePattern protoType1 = new ProtoTypePattern();  
       //This will set the value for the first object.  
       protoType1.sName = "Patel Himen";  
       //This is the second copy of object  
       ProtoTypePattern protoType2 = new ProtoTypePattern();  
       //This will create copy of the object  
       protoType2.getClone();  
     }  
   }  
 }
