Intertwine
^{_{Normalizing Interface Invocations}}

A framework for automatically converting method invocations of any programmatic interface into a single-method normal form and converting back to invocations of the original interface.

Description

For a full explanation of what Intertwine is, what problem it solves, and how it solves it, please read this post on my blog: michael.gr - Intertwine

The following text assumes that you have already read the blog post and that you fully understand it.

The solution contains the following projects:

1. Intertwine - This is the central class library which accomplishes all the magic.

2. InterfaceEvents - Sample class library project which acts as a proof-of-concept and demonstration of Intertwine. It offers multicast events that invoke interfaces instead of delegates.

3. Test - Tests for Intertwine and InterfaceEvents

4. Benchmark - A console application performing a speed comparison between Intertwine, hand-written code that achieves the same thing, Castle Dynamic Proxy with reflecting Untwiner, and LinFu Dynamic Proxy with reflecting Untwiner.

Appendix: Things to fix

• Make the Intertwine.Factory class instantiatable instead of a singleton, get rid of the IsCaching constant, and make IsSaving a parameter.
• Add support for a few missing types, such as Decimal, or make it handle all value types in a uniform way.
• Add support for creating only the entwiner class or only the untwiner class if the other one is never needed.
• Replace int selector with MethodKey key as in the Java implementation.
• See if RegisterObserver and UnregisterObserver can be implemented as += and -= operators.
