İzlenecek yol: Özel bir Veri Akışı Blok Türü Oluşturma

TPL Veri Akışı Kitaplığı çeşitli işlevleri etkinleştiren çeşitli veri akışı blok türleri sağlasa da, özel blok türleri de oluşturabilirsiniz. Bu belgede, özel davranış uygulayan bir veri akışı blok türünün nasıl oluşturulacağı açıklanmaktadır.

Önkoşullar

Bu belgeyi okumadan önce Veri Akışı'nı okuyun.

Not

TPL Veri Akışı Kitaplığı ( System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow ad alanı) .NET ile dağıtılmaz. Ad alanını System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow Visual Studio'ya yüklemek için projenizi açın, Projemenüsünden NuGet Paketlerini Yönet'i seçin ve çevrimiçi ortamda paketi arayınSystem.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow. Alternatif olarak, .NET Core CLI kullanarak yüklemek için komutunu çalıştırın dotnet add package System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow.

Kayan Pencere Veri Akışı Bloğunu Tanımlama

Giriş değerlerinin arabelleğe alınması ve ardından kayan pencere biçiminde çıkış yapılmasını gerektiren bir veri akışı uygulaması düşünün. Örneğin, {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5} giriş değerleri ve üç pencere boyutu için kayan pencere veri akışı bloğu {0, 1, 2}, {1, 2, 3}, {2, 3, 4} ve {3, 4, 5} çıkış dizilerini üretir. Aşağıdaki bölümlerde, bu özel davranışı uygulayan bir veri akışı blok türü oluşturmanın iki yolu açıklanmaktadır. İlk teknik, bir nesnenin Encapsulate ve bir nesnenin işlevselliğini tek bir ISourceBlock<TOutput>ITargetBlock<TInput> yayıcı bloğunda birleştirmek için yöntemini kullanır. İkinci teknik, özel davranış gerçekleştirmek için mevcut işlevlerden IPropagatorBlock<TInput,TOutput> türetilen ve bu işlevleri birleştiren bir sınıf tanımlar.

Kayan Pencere Veri Akışı Bloğunu Tanımlamak için Kapsülleme Yöntemini Kullanma

Aşağıdaki örnek, hedeften ve kaynaktan bir yayıcı bloğu oluşturmak için yöntemini kullanır Encapsulate . Yayıcı bloğu, kaynak bloğun ve hedef bloğun veri alıcısı ve göndereni olarak davranmasını sağlar.

Bu teknik, özel veri akışı işlevselliğine ihtiyaç duyduğunuzda, ancak ek yöntemler, özellikler veya alanlar sağlayan bir türe ihtiyacınız olmadığında kullanışlıdır.

Kayan Pencere Veri Akışı Bloğunu Tanımlamak için IPropagatorBlock'tan Türetme

Aşağıdaki örnekte sınıfı gösterilmektedir SlidingWindowBlock . Bu sınıf, hem kaynak hem de veri hedefi olarak hareket edebilmesi için öğesinden IPropagatorBlock<TInput,TOutput> türetilir. Önceki örnekte olduğu gibi sınıfı, SlidingWindowBlock mevcut veri akışı bloğu türleri üzerine kurulmuştur. Ancak, SlidingWindowBlock sınıfı , ITargetBlock<TInput>ve IDataflowBlock arabirimleri için ISourceBlock<TOutput>gerekli olan yöntemleri de uygular. Bu yöntemlerin tümü çalışmayı önceden tanımlanmış veri akışı blok türü üyelerine iletir. Örneğin, Post yöntem saptırıcıları aynı zamanda bir ITargetBlock<TInput> nesne olan veri üyesine m_target çalışır.

Bu teknik, özel veri akışı işlevselliğine ihtiyaç duyduğunuzda ve ayrıca ek yöntemler, özellikler veya alanlar sağlayan bir tür gerektirdiğinde yararlıdır. Örneğin, SlidingWindowBlock sınıfı ve yöntemlerini sağlayabilmesi TryReceiveTryReceiveAll için öğesinden IReceivableSourceBlock<TOutput> de türetilir. sınıfı SlidingWindowBlock , kayan penceredeki WindowSize öğelerin sayısını alan özelliğini sağlayarak genişletilebilirliği de gösterir.
