• Visual C# How to design these classes?

  Hello all I currently have quite a large project that contains several classes that relate to various objects in a database. For example, the Orders class contains methods that have anything to do with orders. At the moment I think I've designed it in a very simple way, for example: public class Orders { public Orders() { } public int CreateOrder(int storeId) { // Code to create an order and return the ID. } public OleDbDataReader GetOrder(int orderId) { // Code to return the order record. } } Basically, to use any of the methods, I first create an instance of the Orders class, but this doesn't seem like a very good way of doing things. Would it be better to have static methods for things like CreateOrder() and non- ...Show All

• Visual Basic Grabbing file name and path of open files

  Is there a way to write a list of all paths and file names of currently open files. The best I can do is use the System.Diagnostics.Process class to grab the processes of the applications in which I am interested and then get the file name from the main window title for each process. There is no way to get the path for these files, however, with this approach. Thanks for the help!! Process . MainModule .

• Visual Basic Sub Main

  How can I collect data from the registry before showing the main form. The best way to do this in a WinForms app is to use the Application Events. To set this up, bring up the "My Project" screen and from the Application tab click on the View Application Events button. Then add code for the Startup event. Private Sub MyApplication_Startup(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices.StartupEventArgs) Handles Me.Startup End Sub Put your code in this routine and when it completes your startup form will be shown. If there is a problem, you can use e.Cancel to end the program. You can also show other forms if you want. For example, one of my applications will show a config wizard form fir ...Show All

  Can someone tell me why the following piece of code won't work on the XBox 360 I don't have an XBox 360 myself (and it will be at least 6 more months before I plan to afford one), so I can't test this at home.

• SQL Server Connecting to SQL Server 2005 from Classic ASP

  I am trying to return multiple recordsets to a classic ASP web page from SQL Server 2005 and then use GetRows() in ASP to fill 2 arrays with the data. I'm using a command object to run a stored procedure which performs 2 simple selects in SQL Server. The stored procedure works fine in SQL Server Management Studio so I'm guessing it's an ADO issue. The ASP code looks like this: strConnect = "DRIVER={SQL Native Client};SERVER=MyServer.IsAtMyIsp.com;DATABASE=MyDb;UID=Me;PWD=MyPwd; MARS Connection=True;" Set conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") conn.ConnectionString = strConnect conn.Open Set objCommand = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Command") Set objRecordset = Server.CreateObject(" ...Show All

• Architecture design pattern question - proxy

  Hello, I'm implementing a software module and hesitating about the appropriate design. The client needs to perform operations for an componenet which is divided to few parts in the memory. However the client treats the componenet as one contiguous. My design includes a "Manager" which has an interface for the client and handles all operations for this components. The "Manager" knows when it is asked to read/write the appropriate part of the memory. It hides the fact that the component is divided to few parts in the memory space. I wonder if this is called a proxy, facade or a bridge Or maybe other pattern I think it is a proxy but not sure since there few real objects (i.e. subjects) and not only one. In cas ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums VE Map object as a user control

  Hi, I had created the VE Map object as a user control and had 2 instances running in the same page, the pushpins i created i had done it with unique ids ( var pin = new VEPushpin('<%=myMap.ClientID %>' + k, new VELatLong(lat, lng),imgPath,'', ((html))); ) still when i do the mouse hover on 1 map object both the objects refresh has anyone encountered this problem is there a fix ram Ram, Here is what I suspect: When you reload the VE map, you are dynamically creating VE by parsing your xml locations into HTML. This causes a page refresh which causes the other VE map to reload itself and in turn dynamically populates its own pushpins. Then in turn, the second VE map causes a page refresh wh ...Show All
