Refactor EZBlocker for Improved Readability, Performance, and Maintai…
This commit includes several improvements to the EZBlocker project:
-
Encapsulation and Code Organization:
- Private fields are now prefixed with an underscore (_) to differentiate them from local variables.
- Related methods are grouped together for improved readability.
- Moved DllImport statements to a separate static class to keep the main class cleaner.
-
Error Handling Enhancements:
- Replaced generic exception handling with more specific exceptions (e.g., WebException, FileNotFoundException).
- Centralized exception logging to make it easier to manage and track errors across the application.
-
Performance Improvements:
- Reduced unnecessary UI updates by checking if the content of UI elements (like StatusLabel) has actually changed before updating.
- Adjusted MainTimer intervals only when necessary, avoiding redundant operations.
- Used async/await for long-running operations like checking for updates, improving UI responsiveness.
-
Code Refactoring:
- Replaced magic numbers with named constants, improving code readability.
- Moved all string literals to constants or used resources where appropriate to facilitate easier localization and modification.
- Refactored repetitive code into reusable methods, adhering to the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principle.
-
UI Thread Safety:
- Ensured that UI updates are performed on the UI thread using
Invoke
orBeginInvoke
where necessary.
- Ensured that UI updates are performed on the UI thread using
-
Initial Setup Improvements:
- Enhanced the initial setup process by encapsulating the setup logic into dedicated methods.
- Improved handling of Spotify startup and ensured that Spotify is started only if necessary.
-
Other Improvements:
- Added detailed comments for better code documentation.
- Improved exception handling in various parts of the code to ensure the application fails gracefully.
- Enhanced overall code readability and maintainability.
