Is This Workaround/architecture Correct Using Classes (complex Properties)?

Feb 15, 2012

what's a Class, and Object, a Method, a property and thins like that, but I have this doubt:Let's supppose I have a class "Laundry" this class has (just for this example) 3 propierties:

1.- laundryID
2.- Name
3.- Washers

Id and Name are "primitive" types or simple types (integer and string), but Washers, represent a list of object of type "Washer", that has 3 properties:

1.- washerID
2.- laundryID
3.- capacity
4.- brand

All of them (for this example) simple/primitives types (integer,string,string).So this my dilemma, it is correct to have a constructor like this (VB .net)

public sub new(ByVal laundryID as integer)
'' Here I'll query for the data of the Laundry on DB
'' After that I will query for every washer that belongs to this laundry

[code]....

And inside of that constructor query for all the washers that belongs to the laundry with id=laundryID parameter, and create objects of type "Washer" and add them to the list of Laundry ?I'm not sure If I explain myself, any comment I'll be really grateful, in less words, what's the correct approach (or good practices) to work with class/objects that has properties which are complex (other class/objects).I usually work with ADO.net probably ADO/LINQ/Entity solve this thins in an transparent way, but if they do it I don't really know it.

Note: I'm familiar with VB.net, C#, PHP, so if you prefer explain/help me using examples with its syntax, it's ok

Serializing To Binary Formatter A Complex Object With WPF Classes?

Feb 17, 2012

i have a complex object that holds a WPF Canvas with many child canvases, rectangles and, lines. The object includes some home grown classes as well. The main object and the home grown classes have the <Serializable()> attribute set. I tried the general formatter.Serialize(strm, rb_x) to serialize the object to a memory stream. I then found out that WPF classes are set as serializable. So after some research I discovered the System.Runtime.Serialization and found a generic Serialization Surrogate.So after some debugging I was able to serialize the object to a memory stream then copied the stream to an array of bytes then store that array in an OLE field in an MS Access table.

When I read back the access record and copy the OLE field byte array back to a memory stream and then de-serialize it back to the object I get a SerializationException "Error binding to target method."

So question #1 - is what I am trying even possible?Question #2, (assuming #1 is yes) do I need to do something special with WPF Baml type objects.

Architecture - Apply The Correct Data From The GUI To The Parameters For The Rule And Execute The Rule

Apr 6, 2011

I have a very simple Business Rules Engine that has only three methods. One gets all the rules for the current operation, one will retrieve a list of parameters for the rules, the last applies the rules. The rules are stored in the database as user defined functions using parameters. The client will call the BRE pass in the operation and a Lot Number and the BRE checks for any rules that apply to this operation for this Lot. The client gets a list of rules that apply (the names of the corresponding UDF's in the database) and at which step in the operation the rule applies. When the material gets to a step that has a rule, it calls BRE to get parameters for the UDF for that operation, fills in the parameters with data contained in the GUI and calls the BRE to apply the rule with this lot's specific data. Multiple lots can share the same rule that is why there are parameters for the UDF. This all works well. However, this is assuming we have a set number of rules for each lot at each operation. If the lot needs a new rule applied at this operation we have to add a new rule and corresponding UDF into the BRE database. This is not a problem, the client will now see two rules, however, it only knows how to apply the parameters for the first rule, and there is no code for applying the parameters for the second rule.

For example: Rule 1 states that only the same Lot number items can be put into a carton. So the UDF expects one parameter called LotID and one parameter called Carton ID. It runs the rule (UDF) with these parameters and checks to ensure the lots match. Now the Lot requires a second rule: Only 25 items can be packed in the carton. We create a new rule and corresponding UDF, but this rule has the CartonID and a quantity associated with it.

The GUI can handle Rule 1 because it knows how to apply the correct data from the GUI to the parameters for the Rule and execute the rule, so LotID from the GUI = LotID in the parameter name in the UDF and CartonID from the GUI = CartonID parameter name in the UDF. Now there is a new rule, the GUI sees this new rule, gets the parameters, but has no way to applying the quantity to the new parameter to execute the rule without having to change the GUI. We don't expect there to be many rule changes, however, when they do occur we don't want to have to recompile the GUI every time. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to create a class that could determine the how to apply set the correct parameters? We have thought about a table in a database that maps the parameter names in the UDF with parameter names in the GUI so when we add a new UDF we update the table with the corresponding data from the GUI. That could work but may get cumbersome and would require us to make sure that, that table is kept current. Another suggestion was to name the parameters in the UDF the same as the parameters in the GUI, but this too, would require us to maintain the names in two locations.

Instance A Class, Based On Other Classes, Add New Properties?

May 26, 2009

You know how everyone says "C++ is like C with classes"?How similar is it to .NET classes? instance a class, based on other classes, add new properties, override existing properties, etc?Are the variables strongly-typed and declared before they are used? Or is it a Duck-Typing language like Python?

Also, does it have its own Garbage Collector that disposes of objects when the pointer exits their scope,or do you have to manually clear and get rid of them when you finish with them? What's the difference between native C++, and the "managed C++" in Visual Studio? Because I'd prefer to use native code if its not too much harder. for the sake of all that is good and holy, don't use ACCESS, EXCEL, or a TEXT FILE as a database. If you want your program to use a "local database", without any of the hassle of setting up a MS SQL or MySQL server, just click this link: >>> SQLite <<< Seriously. This is for your own good.

VB Classes Best Practice - Give All Properties Values?

Mar 16, 2010

Sorry if this is a bit random, but is it good practice to give all fields of a class a value when the class is instanciated? I'm just wondering if its better practice to have a constuctor that takes no parameters and gives all the fields default values, or whether fields that have values should be assigned and others left alone until required?

Design Patterns - Inheritance - Do All Properties In The Derived Classes Have To Be Declared In The Base Class

Aug 8, 2011

Background:I have a base class and several inherited derived classes. The derived classes don't always need to have the same properties. If any properties are shared among the derived classes, those properties would live at the base class level ('Contents', for example).Similarly, GoodDocument below has 'GoodThings' but would not want/need to have 'BadThings'.I want to treat instances of both 'GoodDocument' and 'BadDocument' as type 'Document'

What Is The Equivalent Or Workaround For A Typedef

Dec 22, 2011

I am coding a VB.NET application which heavily deals with a collection type. See the code below:

[Code]....

I have to type the above line for so many times. If I changed the collection type, then I have to make the change for all the instances. So if there is a way to use "a typedef equivalent", then I can get rid of all these problems. I tried with imports, but it is only for namespaces and it can't be used for classes.

Note: I am using VB 2008, windows XP. The application type is windows forms(VB). EDIT: I made some tries based on code_gray's below answer. This is the first try.

ASP.NET: Httpwebrequest Date Header Workaround?

Jul 16, 2009

I'm trying to integrate with an API that requires the "Date" header in a web request. As you may well know, .NET has removed the ability to append or even display a default Date header in your request, so I was wondering about a workaround.Here's the catch: you can't use TCPClients because I don't have "permissions" on my server for such a thing as sockets. Is there some way to "cheat" the system to fake a date header or to trick it into posting a Date header? Or should I just give up on this API?

Workaround For Lack Of True Transparency In Labels And Other Controls

May 4, 2011

I'm trying to make a label transparent. When I set the BackColor to transparent, all it does it take the color of the form it's sitting on, i.e. It's not truly transparent. I've googled it and found this in another thread (from a MSFT MVP)".NET controls do not support true transparency. You can set their BackColor to Transparent (in some but not all cases) and the parent control will show through, but only the parent control. If there is some other control behind that is not the parent it will not show through. That's because the control is not truly transparent. It basically copies its parent in the area behind it and uses that as its background, but that doesn't include sibling controls that may be behind it as well." To me, this is completely unacceptable. Why even include the transparency option when all it does is set the control's backcolor to the form color? I'm trying to add a label over a progress bar to give my user some feedback (because the Visual Studio progress bar doesn't support text, which is also a horrible design shortfall by the way), and have yet to find a way around this.
