Exemplarische Vorgehensweise: Erstellen eines Datenflussblocktyps

Obwohl die TPL Dataflow Library mehrere Datenflussblocktypen zur Verfügung stellt, die eine Vielzahl von Funktionen ermöglichen, können Sie auch benutzerdefinierte Blocktypen erstellen. Dieses Dokument beschreibt, wie Sie einen Datenflussblocktyp erstellen, der benutzerdefiniertes Verhalten implementiert.

Voraussetzungen

Lesen Sie zunächst Datenfluss, bevor Sie dieses Dokument lesen.

Hinweis

Die TPL-Datenflussbibliothek (System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow-Namespace) wird nicht mit .NET ausgeliefert. Öffnen Sie zum Installieren des System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow-Namespace in Visual Studio Ihr Projekt, wählen Sie im Menü Projekt die Option NuGet-Pakete verwalten aus, und suchen Sie online nach dem System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow-Paket. Alternativ können Sie es mithilfe der .NET Core-CLI installieren und dazu dotnet add package System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow ausführen.

Definieren des Datenflussblocks für gleitende Fenster

Erwägen Sie die Nutzung einer Datenflussanwendung, die erfordert, dass Eingabewerte gepuffert und dann in einem gleitenden Fenster ausgegeben werden. Zum Beispiel erzeugt für die Eingabewerte {0, 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5} und eine Fenstergröße von drei, ein Datenflussblock für gleitende Fenster die Ausgabearrays {0, 1, 2}, {1, 2, 3}, {2, 3, 4} und {3, 4, 5}. Die folgenden Abschnitte veranschaulichen zwei Möglichkeiten, einen Datenflussblocktyp zu erstellen, der benutzerdefiniertes Verhalten implementiert. Das erste Verfahren verwendet die Encapsulate-Methode, um die Funktionalität eine ISourceBlock<TOutput>-Objekts und eines ITargetBlock<TInput>-Objekts in einem Weitergabeblock zu kombinieren. Das zweite Verfahren definiert eine Klasse, die aus IPropagatorBlock<TInput,TOutput> abgeleitet ist und vorhandene Funktionen kombiniert, um benutzerdefiniertes Verhalten auszuführen.

Verwendung der Kapselmethode zum Definieren des Datenflussblocks für gleitende Fenster

Im folgenden Beispiel wird die Encapsulate-Methode verwendet, um einen Weitergabeblock aus einem Ziel und einer Quelle zu erstellen. Ein Weitergabeblock ermöglicht es einem Quellblock und einem Zielblock, als Empfänger und Sender von Daten zu fungieren.

Diese Vorgehensweise ist nützlich, wenn Sie eine benutzerdefinierte Datenflussfunktionalität, aber keinen Typ benötigen, der zusätzliche Methoden, Eigenschaften oder Felder bereitstellt.

// Creates a IPropagatorBlock<T, T[]> object propagates data in a
// sliding window fashion.
public static IPropagatorBlock<T, T[]> CreateSlidingWindow<T>(int windowSize)
{
   // Create a queue to hold messages.
   var queue = new Queue<T>();

   // The source part of the propagator holds arrays of size windowSize
   // and propagates data out to any connected targets.
   var source = new BufferBlock<T[]>();

   // The target part receives data and adds them to the queue.
   var target = new ActionBlock<T>(item =>
   {
      // Add the item to the queue.
      queue.Enqueue(item);
      // Remove the oldest item when the queue size exceeds the window size.
      if (queue.Count > windowSize)
         queue.Dequeue();
      // Post the data in the queue to the source block when the queue size
      // equals the window size.
      if (queue.Count == windowSize)
         source.Post(queue.ToArray());
   });

   // When the target is set to the completed state, propagate out any
   // remaining data and set the source to the completed state.
   target.Completion.ContinueWith(delegate
   {
      if (queue.Count > 0 && queue.Count < windowSize)
         source.Post(queue.ToArray());
      source.Complete();
   });

Ableiten aus „IPropagatorBlock“ zum Definieren des Datenflussblocks für gleitende Fenster

Im folgenden Beispiel wird die SlidingWindowBlock-Klasse gezeigt. Diese Klasse leitet sich aus IPropagatorBlock<TInput,TOutput> ab, sodass sie sowohl als Quelle als auch als Ziel von Daten fungieren kann. Wie im vorherigen Beispiel wird die SlidingWindowBlock-Klasse auf bestehenden Datenflussblocktypen aufgebaut. Die SlidingWindowBlock-Klasse implementiert jedoch auch die Methoden, die von den Schnittstellen ISourceBlock<TOutput>, ITargetBlock<TInput> und IDataflowBlock benötigt werden. Alle diese Methoden leiten die Arbeit an die vordefinierten Datenflussblocktyp-Elemente weiter. Zum Beispiel stellt die Post-Methode die Arbeit auf das m_target-Datenelement zurück, das auch ein ITargetBlock<TInput>-Objekt ist.

Diese Vorgehensweise ist nützlich, wenn Sie eine benutzerdefinierte Datenflussfunktionalität und zudem einen Typ benötigen, der zusätzliche Methoden, Eigenschaften oder Felder bereitstellt. Beispielsweise leitet sich die Klasse SlidingWindowBlock auch aus IReceivableSourceBlock<TOutput> ab, sodass sie die Methoden TryReceive und TryReceiveAll bereitstellen kann. Außerdem veranschaulicht die SlidingWindowBlock-Klasse die Erweiterbarkeit, indem sie die WindowSize-Eigenschaft bereitstellt, die die Anzahl der Elemente im gleitenden Fenster ermittelt.
