The example code ignores that the gzip stream buffers data to allow its compression.

For the example to work it should flush (or better yet: close) the GZipStream before closing the serial port.

(A nested using would probably give the cleanest example)

From reading the book, but trying to put it into my own words so that I'm not stealing thunder, Factored components are the potentially complex types underlying a simpler facade that is referred to as an Aggregate Component.

The simple facade may expose the underlying types for developers to implement more complex operations that the facade doesn't support.

(I think) Phil Haack's tip is that all the types involved should implement IDisposable so that it's easy for developers who use the API to manage the objects' lifetimes efficiently, through use of the "using" statement.

Read the book for a definitive explanation.

First time I've heard the term.

@Daniel : Software patents are evil (and it's idiotic that they're granted), but patents on APIs are positively demented.

Just saying, s'all.

I'm not familiar with what a "Factored Type" is either. A google search did land me on this interesting patent, though:

http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/7430732/description.html

Which makes me wonder if I'm legally allowed to use them?

It would be helpful if we knew what "the code sample here" was. Having the "after" without the "before" is pretty meaningless.

Is there a specific reason why you don't use the using statement with the GZipStream?

And a factored type is ...?
