Tips for Debugging Your Code in Visual Studio 2010: Listing 1.

You can use the Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF) to create a provider that returns an existing TraceSource, creates or accesses one as a MEF part, or creates one through traditional means. I don't like calling this a factory, because in most cases calls don't create a new item. You can use a similar pattern in many other scenarios.

   [TraceSourceProvider()]
   public class TraceSourceProvider : ITraceSourceProvider 
   {
      [ImportMany()]
      private IEnumerable<ITraceSource> sources = null;
      private IEnumerable<TraceSource> traceSources = null;

      public System.Diagnostics.TraceSource 
        GetTraceSource(string traceSourceName)
      {
         if (traceSources  == null)
         {
            traceSources = from x in sources 
                           select x as TraceSource;
         }
         var matches = from x in traceSources 
                       where x.Name == traceSourceName 
                       select x;
         if (matches.Count() > 0)
         {
            var ret = matches.FirstOrDefault() as TraceSource;
            return ret;
         }
         var traceSource = new TraceSource(traceSourceName);
         traceSources = 
           traceSources.Union (new TraceSource[] {traceSource});
         return traceSource;
      }

    Dr. James McCaffrey from Microsoft Research presents a complete end-to-end demonstration of the naive Bayes regression technique, where the goal is to predict a single numeric value. Compared to other machine learning regression techniques, naive Bayes regression is usually less accurate, but is simple, easy to implement and customize, works on both large and small datasets, is highly interpretable, and doesn't require tuning any hyperparameters.
