Is this Factory Method creation pattern?

Question

I have been using factory method creation pattern for awhile now. I was just recently told that this:

public static class ScheduleTypeFactory
{
    public st         


        

Answer 1

Looks like a (basic) factory to me... in many factories the implementation is more complex (perhaps involving types resolved at runtime), but that is not (AFAIK) a requirement. The only other critique I'd have added is to combine the cases, and do something more dramatic if you don't recognise the type...
