My User control belonging to which Design Pattern??

Question

Hello,

I am creating a reusable component in C#.net. For that i have started a Control Library project and added a Control.

Class MyControl : Control{}

My user control just displays some images which will be used in many Windows Applications.

Can you please tell me which design pattern i am using here. I am unable to decide which pattern they belongs.

Thanks

Added:- What suppose for any problem my solution is to create a user control. Then i am following to which design pattern now????

See all the design pattern and lets deside. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_design_pattern

Answer 1

It does not sound to me like you are using any particular design pattern. At best, you are writing reusable code, but I don't think that is a design pattern in it's own right.

Answer 2

I'm not sure that we could say that you are following any design pattern, it's just basic Inheritance from what you describe which is a OOP principle not a design pattern. The process should be to identify which design patterns solve your problem and then implement them. Trying to do it in reverse is unlikely to reveal a pattern or if it does then I'd suspect the implementation would only very loosely follow said pattern.

Answer 3

• inheritance & abstraction - OOP's features to have a re-usable component

Don't think there is any design pattern involved here...
