Rx Need help in writing hierarchy for the classes - c#-4.0

Question

I used 101 samples of Rx Framework ( http://rxwiki.wikidot.com/101samples#toc47 ) last example and created a class like below and usage like in the test function.
private void Test()
{
var order = new Order();
order.ObservableOrder.Subscribe(
ord => Console.WriteLine("Order progress "), // subscribe to onnext event
ex => Console.WriteLine("Paid error " + ex.Message), // subscribe to error event
() => Console.WriteLine("Paid oncompleted ") // subscribe to completed event
); // Subscribe
order.Start();
}
public class Order
{
private readonly Subject<Order> _subject = new Subject<Order>();
public IObservable<Order> ObservableOrder { get { return _subject.AsObservable(); } }
public void RaiseError() {
_subject.OnError(new Exception("test exception"));
}
public void RaiseCompleted() {
_subject.OnCompleted();
}
public void RaiseProgress() {
_subject.OnNext(this);
}
public void Start() {
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
this.RaiseProgress();
this.RaiseError(); // either error is raised
this.RaiseCompleted(); // or completed is raised
}
}
My requirement is how to write a base class ( or some kind of factory ) to
make it easy to use this for 20-30 classes which does similar things ( like they need to
send progress, oncompleted and on error events ) Also how can I also send some data back to
on progress and oncompleted events ( like we send exception into onerror event )

Answer 1

OnCompleted() accepts no arguments, which obviously can't be changed.
You have a few choices:
You can create a payload class that has both the process and the final payload in it. class OrderProgress { double Process; OrderResult Result; }
You can expose another subject, Progress, which you can subscribe to in addition to ObservableOrder.
If you want to keep Start reentrant, you could have it return an object that exposed both a Progress and OrderProgress observable.
Edit: Including example code (of my second option):
private void Test()
{
var order = new Order();
order.ObservableProgress.Subscribe(
prog => Console.WriteLine("Order progress " + prog.ToString()
);
order.ObservableOrder.Subscribe(
ord => Console.WriteLine("Order progress"),
ex => Console.WriteLine("Paid error " + ex.Message),
() => Console.WriteLine("Paid oncompleted")
);
order.Start();
}
public class Order
{
private readonly Subject<Order> _subject = new Subject<Order>();
private readonly Subject<double> _progressSubject = new Subject<double>();
public IObservable<Order> ObservableOrder
{
get { return _subject.AsObservable(); }
}
public IObservable<double> ObservableProgress
{
get { return _progressSubject.AsObservable(); }
}
public void RaiseError() {
_subject.OnError(new Exception("test exception"));
}
public void RaiseCompleted() {
_subject.OnNext(this);
_subject.OnCompleted();
_progressSubject.OnCompleted();
}
public void RaiseProgress(double progress) {
_progressSubject.OnNext(progress);
}
public void Start() {
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
this.RaiseProgress((double)i / 5D);
this.RaiseError(); // either error is raised
this.RaiseCompleted(); // or completed is raised
}
}
