- Suggestion by Gena on pull / loop approach
Discussion/Conclusion:
/
A good idea to introduce the GetValues, to recognize the pull approach. However, instead of on the LinkableComponent it has put on the output item (see above).
| Code Block |
|---|
// =================================== pull approach
var triggerExchangeItem = component.OutputItems[0];
triggerComponent.GetValues(triggerExchangeItem);
// =================================== loop approach
while(!allComponentsAreFinished)
{
foreach(var component in components)
{
if(component.Status != LinkableComponentStatus.Finished)
{
component.Update();
}
}
}
public interface ILinkableComponent
{
LinkableComponentStatus Status { get; }
void Initialize();
void Validate();
void Update();
void Finish();
IList<IInputItem> InputItems { get; }
IList<IOutputItem> OutputItems { get; }
bool CascadeUpdateCallsDisabled { get; set; }
// Suggestion: ask for specific values: e.g. filtered data
IList GetValues(IInputExchangeItem query);
}

- Gena's suggestion for 2D return type (see below)
Discussion/Conclusion: Not to be included in the standard 2.0. Could be used in the backbone, and probably in later versions of the standard.
| Code Block |
|---|
public interface IInputItem : IExchangeItem
{
IMatrix Values { get; set; }
}
public interface IOutputItem : IExchangeItem
{
IMatrix Values { get; }
}
public interface IMatrix : IList
{
int Rows { get; }
int Columns { get; }
object GetValue(int row, int column);
void SetValue(object value, int row, int column);
object[,] GetValues(int startRow, int endRow, int startColumn, int endColumn);
void SetValues(object[,] values, int startRow, int endRow, int startColumn, int endColumn);
}
