I am building a survey tool that allows users to answer / edit their answer / review the answer / analyse the results of a question. The problem I have is that the actual behaviour in each of these scenarios may differ depending on the type of question (i.e. analysing a select single option question will show a bar graph whereas the same action for a short answer question will show all of the answers).
Currently I have a view component for each of the tasks (answer / edit, review, analyse) and this component looks up another component based on the question type to do the actual rendering. This second component is currently implemented as a view component and I simply initialise it from the Render method of the first component and then call Render on the second component. While this allows me to create the illusion of a polymorphic view component, it feels somewhat clunky and I am wondering if the view component is the best place to make these kind of decisions. Being new to MonoRail and working on my own means discussions at the whiteboard are a little one-sided so... ... am I on the right track here or is there a better approach that will 1. Allow me to alter the way a question is rendered based on the question type 2. Allow me to add question types without having to alter code (i.e. follow OCP). Comments, thoughts, pointers to other posts much appreciated (I'm sure this is a common requirement but I must be looking in the wrong places / using the wrong search terms as I haven't found anything of use yet) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Castle Project Users" group.
