Flattening An Object Hierarchy Using A Shim Class - Initializing Derived Object Properties From The Base Object?
Jul 10, 2010I am somewhat new to object oriented programming and am attempting to flatten a Linq object hierarchy by using a shim class.how to initalize a derived class with property values from a base class?I have two objects, a base object with about 100 properties, and a derived object which inherits from the base object and adds a few additional properties beyond those of the base object. My simple constructor creates the derived object, but I am looking for a way to initialize the derived object properties with values from the base object.Right now I am using reflection to iterate over the properties individually and I suspect there may be a better way. The following example shows my shim class constructor for the derived class, and two properties:
newProperty1 - a new string property of the derived class
flattenedProperty2 - a new string property of the derived class, copied from a 2nd-level object of the base class
Code example:
Public Class derivedObj
Inherits baseObj
Private _newProperty1 As String[code].......
Is this the correct constructor approach to flatten the object hierarchy using a shim class? My second question relates to initialization of properties in the derived class. The constructor above creates the derived object, but what is the best way to initialize the derived object properties with values from the base object? The following code uses reflection to iterate over the properties individually, but I suspect there may be a better way.
Code example:
' property names are in the string array fieldNames
'baseObjQuery is an ienumerable of baseObj
'derivedObjList is a list of derivedObj[code].....
Is there a simple way to initialize values for the properties in the derived object based upon the values of the common properties in the base object?

Object Hierarchy For Charting?
Jan 27, 2009I'm looking for advice to make my code efficient in terms of execution speed and memory usage. Basically, how to lay out my objects. The program displays parts of several data series in bar- or line- charts, as well as calculated series based on these data series. The key user input will be to change what part of data series to look at, and that input should trigger instant chart update, with minimal lag.

Top Level SQL Table Row - Save The Top Level Automatically?
Mar 18, 2011I have created a simple program which uses a two tier structure of SQL Tables.At the top level, one record holds the date of the activities and linked to it using its primary key as a foreign key, three subordinate tables hold time stamped records.The issue I have been unable to solve is that before adding any of the lower level records for a given date, a newly added top level record must be saved to the database.Doing this manually is simple - but can I rely on my users to remember to do this before they start plugging in the lower level data?I thought not, so I am looking to save the top level automatically.I've failed miserably but I refuse to believe that it's not possible.

Making A Shape Hierarchy?
Apr 10, 2012I am working through my Visual Basic Book 2010 book and came across this Program example:Create 3 classes that inherit from a base class named Shape. The Shape class has an instance variable that is the name of the shape and also a CalcArea() function that must be overridden by each subclass. You will need to create the following 3 classes and use the formulas provided to calculate the areas.
Square � Area = sideLength * sideLength
Circle � Area = pi * radius * radius (use Math.Pi for the value of pi)
Triangle � Area = � * base * height
Each subclass should have a constructor that you use to set the name and the attributes required to calculate the area with. Each subclass should also override the CalcArea() function that is provided in the base class Shape. They will also need to implement the toString() method that will print out the shape name, any attributes (ex: sideLength), and the area.It also includes the Shape base class. You will need to add the 3 subclasses and add the appropriate code.

When the search button is clicked all of these are populated into a list box currently using the following function's

The problem is that subfolders will continue to be created with unknown names. I'm thinking I need to use some sort of loop that counts the number of periods and then compares the directories using some sort of negative lookahead to group them.

Multiple Level Of For Each And Linq In Each Level
Feb 12, 2011I have multiple level of For Each and in each level, i have a Linq that is the 'In' criteria as in:
[Code]....
It will go inside each for (because the value is not nothing), however, it will only loop (next) in the very inner 'For Each t In tFor'. After it is finish inner loops, the outer Fors' or Next will not execute... even thought there are more than one values in that 'In'... like 'sFor' or 'fFor'. i've noticed while debuging, while break at the for (for example 'sFor', before stepping in), i get the error message:
"Enumeration yielded no results" when i expand the result for that variable and it will not step into it. but if i do not expand the result, it will step in. It seem that some how, once an element is accessed for that 'In' collection, it breaks (meaning does not loop for the rest of the elements) the next for that collection is this a bug or am i missing something in Linq? BTW: i believe it has something to do with the SqlDataReader in the Linq. I'm working with IAsyncResult.
Class Hierarchy - Data Design In An RPG Game
Aug 10, 2010how to organize the classes within my RPG project that I'm making. I've tried to implement a battle system but I am not comfortable with my initial results. This is the basic layout I currently have for my classes. [Code] clsCharacter contains statistics pertaining to one character, including magic available to that character to use. Also includes what weapons that character has equipped. clsTeam contains multiple clsCharacter, as well as a list of items that each clsCharacter in the team can use. clsBattle contains two clsTeams. One team is the player and the other is the computer. Now, this is a wonderful way to organize data. However, I see limitations with this approach. For instance, to pass data from Battle to Character, it has to pass through the team class and vice-versa. Plus, if I use Properties, it transfers data as ByVal instead of ByRef, so I cannot guarantee that I'm editing the original and not a copy of the passed object (IIRC)
In addition, I feel it is just messy code to include methods within the clsCharacter class that invoke this: MyTeam.MyBattle.DoAction(). Plus, the clsCharacter might not even be in the battle at the time - I don't won't to bog down that class featuring code that is exclusive for battling when I also need to be concerned about moving around the map, saving/loading data, etc. So, any suggestions? Right now, I'm burnt out of ideas. One idea I have so far is to include a function for the clsCharacter that exports a list of all possible moves the character could make, and if the character is CPU choose the most optimal one, and if Human than wrap it up in some nifty GUI so they can choose what action to take. But at the same time, how do I use that information within the context of the battle?

Entity Framework 4.2 Table Per Hierarchy Group By Discriminator?
Dec 7, 2011I am working on a project using an EF 4.2 code first model. This model contains a TPH inheritance structure for products. I need to group the polymorphic results of this inheritance model on the discriminator and am running into some issues.
The entity framework does not expose the discriminator to complete this grouping. My first question is can I get direct access to this discriminator? My reading and experience is telling me no, so I came up with this solution that sort of works. It is not performing well and I am not happy with how it will need to be maintained.
My classes look something like this (simplified):
Public MustInherit Class Product
<key()>
Public Property ProductID as integer
[Code].....
Also, this can give me easy access to shared properties (Name) but now I don't have many options to cast these into their real type, maybe a select case around TypeName.

IDE :: Error ContextSwitchDeadlock - Eliminate?

ContextSwitchDeadlock was detected Message: The CLR has been unable to transition from COM context 0x2040a8 to COM context 0x204218 for 60 seconds. The thread that owns the destination context/apartment is most likely either doing a non pumping wait or processing a very long running operation without pumping Windows messages. This situation generally has a negative performance impact and may even lead to the application becoming non responsive or memory usage accumulating continually over time. To avoid this problem, all single threaded apartment (STA) threads should use pumping wait primitives (such as CoWaitForMultipleHandles) and routinely pump messages during long running operations.

I understand the answer in the post above, which is absolutely amazing, by the way. It's about implementing interfaces with a class. However, what if a class needs to share features with another class?Yes, that class can an Interface. However, let's use this sample definition.

Or, in other words:An equippable item can perform acts outside of its typical usage of a shield or weapon. But not all items can act as a sheid or weapon.I mean, I could create a class that implements IWeapon, IShield, IMagic, IUseableItem, etc. But there should be a better way than returning NULL when those interfaces are called.

View 19 RepliesC# - Eliminate These Order Dependencies From Code?
Sep 23, 2009In ASP.Net Web Forms there are cases that I've come across that create order dependent code. As an obvious code smell I'm looking for solutions to solve this problem.
A pseudo-code example would be: Calling Code :: Page.aspx
protected void Page_Load(...) {
var control = LoadControl("ControlX.ascx");
// Ugly since the control's constructor is not used by LoadControl
control.SetDependencies(...);
[Code]...
LoadControl has two signatures, the one used above accepts a string for the control classes physical location and correctly creates the child controls. Whereas the second signature accepts the control class as a class type, and any parameters for the constructor, however the child controls are not created as detailed in TRULY Understanding Dynamic Controls.
So how can I eliminate this order dependency in the cleanest way? My first thought is that if I dynamically created the child controls in ControlX, but then that can be cumbersome for larger controls.
