How to make the cleanest code when reporting progress to a user?

Question

I\'ve struggled for the last couple of months to come up with some clean code to report progress to a user. Everything always seems to boil down to:

ReportProgr         


        

Answer 1

Assuming the pattern in what you're doing is:

• log task start
• do task
• log task end

you can have a "Task" class (parent for all your tasks), whose do() method is subclassed and automatically logs start and end of task.

Just an idea.
