The dofactory site is not an easily understandable one for a newbie (even for experts too !!). Here is a very good explanation for the same. http://www.codeproject.com/dotnet/PatternsIntro_Decorator.asp

There's a reasonably clear explanation and C# example code for the 'decorator' pattern here: http://www.dofactory.com/Patterns/PatternDecorator.aspx As you know this pattern enables you to add extra functionality to an object dynamically i.e. at runtime.
