Design pattern

Design patterns have come up as a great obstacle in my career as a c# programmer, the more I read about them, i become more confused.Please can anyone suggest me any site or any book where common design patterns are explained with easy to understand examples in a easy language.It would be best if the examples are in either c# of vb.net.I really need to this help to save my job and career.

Here are some sites that I find useful:

http://wiki.cs.uiuc.edu/PatternStories/DesignPatterns
http://martinfowler.com/articles/enterprisePatterns.html

If you have specific questions about specific design patterns, we could give you more ideas. . .

DoFactory is from Java which is a lot like C#, and generally the tutorials there are really great.

Hi Everyone,

I am completely new to this forum.

Shuvo,

In my experience. The best way to understand patterns for me was too understand them one at a time. Maybe start with an easy pattern: Singleton. Google some examples and possibly try to find some code examples.

There is a guy named Jean Paul Boodhoo who has done some videocasts on dnr.com (www.dotnetrocks.com). He explains patterns fairly well. You can also find his downloadable code on www.codebetter.com.

Another good way to understand patterns is to ask online in a forum like this one. I am sure people can explain and post some examples.

Let me know if this helps

I stand corrected. I was on DoFactory earlier today and found out that it actually uses C# examples.
