下面是一个非常经典的有限状态机的例子，它模拟了一个非常简化的电子设备(比如电视)

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace fsm
{
class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var fsm = new FiniteStateMachine();
        Console.WriteLine(fsm.State);
        fsm.ProcessEvent(FiniteStateMachine.Events.PlugIn);
        Console.WriteLine(fsm.State);
        fsm.ProcessEvent(FiniteStateMachine.Events.TurnOn);
        Console.WriteLine(fsm.State);
        fsm.ProcessEvent(FiniteStateMachine.Events.TurnOff);
        Console.WriteLine(fsm.State);
        fsm.ProcessEvent(FiniteStateMachine.Events.TurnOn);
        Console.WriteLine(fsm.State);
        fsm.ProcessEvent(FiniteStateMachine.Events.RemovePower);
        Console.WriteLine(fsm.State);
        Console.ReadKey();
    }

    class FiniteStateMachine
    {
        public enum States { Start, Standby, On };
        public States State { get; set; }

        public enum Events { PlugIn, TurnOn, TurnOff, RemovePower };

        private Action[,] fsm;

        public FiniteStateMachine()
        {
            this.fsm = new Action[3, 4] { 
                //PlugIn,       TurnOn,                 TurnOff,            RemovePower
                {this.PowerOn,  null,                   null,               null},              //start
                {null,          this.StandbyWhenOff,    null,               this.PowerOff},     //standby
                {null,          null,                   this.StandbyWhenOn, this.PowerOff} };   //on
        }
        public void ProcessEvent(Events theEvent)
        {
            this.fsm[(int)this.State, (int)theEvent].Invoke();
        }

        private void PowerOn() { this.State = States.Standby; }
        private void PowerOff() { this.State = States.Start; }
        private void StandbyWhenOn() { this.State = States.Standby; }
        private void StandbyWhenOff() { this.State = States.On; }
    }
}
}

这里有些无耻的自我宣传，但在不久前，我创建了一个名为YieldMachine的库，它允许以非常干净和简单的方式描述一个有限复杂性的状态机。例如，考虑一盏灯:

注意，这个状态机有2个触发器和3个状态。在YieldMachine代码中，我们为所有与状态相关的行为编写了一个方法，在这个方法中，我们对每个状态都使用goto，这是一种可怕的暴行。触发器变成Action类型的属性或字段，用一个称为trigger的属性进行修饰。我在下面注释了第一个状态及其转换的代码;接下来的状态遵循相同的模式。

public class Lamp : StateMachine
{
    // Triggers (or events, or actions, whatever) that our
    // state machine understands.
    [Trigger]
    public readonly Action PressSwitch;

    [Trigger]
    public readonly Action GotError;

    // Actual state machine logic
    protected override IEnumerable WalkStates()
    {
    off:                                       
        Console.WriteLine("off.");
        yield return null;

        if (Trigger == PressSwitch) goto on;
        InvalidTrigger();

    on:
        Console.WriteLine("*shiiine!*");
        yield return null;

        if (Trigger == GotError) goto error;
        if (Trigger == PressSwitch) goto off;
        InvalidTrigger();

    error:
        Console.WriteLine("-err-");
        yield return null;

        if (Trigger == PressSwitch) goto off;
        InvalidTrigger();
    }
}

又短又好，嗯!

这个状态机通过发送触发器来控制:

var sm = new Lamp();
sm.PressSwitch(); //go on
sm.PressSwitch(); //go off

sm.PressSwitch(); //go on
sm.GotError();    //get error
sm.PressSwitch(); //go off

为了澄清，我在第一个状态中添加了一些注释，以帮助您理解如何使用它。

    protected override IEnumerable WalkStates()
    {
    off:                                       // Each goto label is a state

        Console.WriteLine("off.");             // State entry actions

        yield return null;                     // This means "Wait until a 
                                               // trigger is called"

                                               // Ah, we got triggered! 
                                               //   perform state exit actions 
                                               //   (none, in this case)

        if (Trigger == PressSwitch) goto on;   // Transitions go here: 
                                               // depending on the trigger 
                                               // that was called, go to
                                               // the right state

        InvalidTrigger();                      // Throw exception on 
                                               // invalid trigger

        ...

这是因为c#编译器实际上在内部为每个使用yield return的方法创建了一个状态机。这个构造通常用于惰性地创建数据序列，但在这种情况下，我们实际上对返回的序列并不感兴趣(反正都是null)，而是对在底层创建的状态行为感兴趣。

StateMachine基类对构造进行一些反射，将代码分配给每个[Trigger]操作，该操作设置Trigger成员并向前移动状态机。

但是你不需要真正理解它的内部原理就能使用它。

我在这里发布了另一个答案，因为这是从不同的角度来看状态机;非常视觉。

我最初的答案是经典的命令式代码。我认为它在代码运行时非常直观，因为数组使得状态机的可视化变得简单。缺点是你必须把这些都写下来。Remos的回答减轻了编写样板代码的工作量，但远没有那么直观。还有第三种选择;画状态机。

如果您正在使用。net，并且可以将运行时版本4作为目标，那么您可以选择使用工作流的状态机活动。从本质上讲，它们允许您绘制状态机(就像Juliet的图一样)，并让WF运行时为您执行它。

有关更多细节，请参阅MSDN文章使用Windows Workflow Foundation构建状态机，以及最新版本的CodePlex站点。

这是我在瞄准。net时更喜欢的选项，因为它很容易看到、更改和向非程序员解释;俗话说，图片胜过千言万语!

不确定我是否错过了重点，但我认为这里没有一个答案是“简单的”状态机。我通常所说的简单状态机是使用一个内部有开关的循环。这就是我们在PLC /微芯片编程或C/ c++编程中使用的方法。

优点:

容易写。不需要特殊的物品和东西。你甚至不需要面向对象。 当它很小的时候，很容易理解。

缺点:

当有很多状态时，可能会变得相当大，很难阅读。

它是这样的:

public enum State
{
    First,
    Second,
    Third,
}

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    var state = State.First;
    // x and i are just examples for stuff that you could change inside the state and use for state transitions
    var x     = 0; 
    var i     = 0;

    // does not have to be a while loop. you could loop over the characters of a string too
    while (true)  
    {
        switch (state)
        {
            case State.First:
                // Do sth here
                if (x == 2)
                    state = State.Second;  
                    // you may or may not add a break; right after setting the next state
                // or do sth here
                if (i == 3)
                    state = State.Third;
                // or here
                break;
            case State.Second:
                // Do sth here
                if (x == 10)
                    state = State.First;
                // or do sth here
                break;
            case State.Third:
                // Do sth here
                if (x == 10)
                    state = State.First;
                // or do sth here
                break;
            default:
                // you may wanna throw an exception here.
                break;
        }
    }
}

如果它真的应该是一个状态机，你调用的方法会根据你所处的状态做出不同的反应:状态设计模式是更好的方法

finitestatemmachine是一个简单的状态机，用c# Link编写

使用我的库finitestatemmachine的优点:

定义一个“context”类，向外界呈现一个单独的接口。 定义一个State抽象基类。 将状态机的不同“状态”表示为state基类的派生类。 在适当的State派生类中定义特定于状态的行为。 在“context”类中维护一个指向当前“state”的指针。 要更改状态机的状态，请更改当前的“state”指针。

LINQPad上的示例:

void Main()
{
            var machine = new SFM.Machine(new StatePaused());
            var output = machine.Command("Input_Start", Command.Start);
            Console.WriteLine(Command.Start.ToString() + "->  State: " + machine.Current);
            Console.WriteLine(output);

            output = machine.Command("Input_Pause", Command.Pause);
            Console.WriteLine(Command.Pause.ToString() + "->  State: " + machine.Current);
            Console.WriteLine(output);
            Console.WriteLine("-------------------------------------------------");
}
    public enum Command

        Start,
        Pause,
    }

    public class StateActive : SFM.State
    {

        public override void Handle(SFM.IContext context)

        {
            //Gestione parametri
            var input = (String)context.Input;
            context.Output = input;

            //Gestione Navigazione
            if ((Command)context.Command == Command.Pause) context.Next = new StatePaused();
            if ((Command)context.Command == Command.Start) context.Next = this;

        }
    }


public class StatePaused : SFM.State
{

     public override void Handle(SFM.IContext context)

     {

         //Gestione parametri
         var input = (String)context.Input;
         context.Output = input;

         //Gestione Navigazione
         if ((Command)context.Command == Command.Start) context.Next = new  StateActive();
         if ((Command)context.Command == Command.Pause) context.Next = this;


     }

 }

            Console.ReadKey();

注意:这个例子是相当人工的，主要是为了演示一些正交的特征。应该很少有真正需要通过一个完整的类来实现状态值域本身，使用CRTP(参见:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curiously_recurring_template_pattern)。

下面是一个当然更简单，可能更常见的实现用例(使用一个简单的枚举类型作为状态值域)，用于相同的状态机，并使用相同的测试用例:
