ID [INT] AUTO INCREMENT
Name [VARCHAR]
ParentID [INT]
I am using an ADO.NET DataTable and DataAdapter to load and save values to this table. This works if I only create children of existing rows. If I make a child row, then make a child of that child, then Update, the temporary ID value generated by the DataTable is going into the ParentID column. I have the following data relation set:
dataset.Relations.Add(New DataRelation("RoleToRole",RoleTable.Columns("ID"), RoleTable.Columns("ParentID")))
And when I make new child rows in the DataTable I call the SetParentRow method
newRow.SetParentRow(parentRow)
Is there something special I have to do to get the ID generation to propagate recursively when I call Update on the DataAdapter? | .net | database | ado.net | null | null | null | open | How do you persist a tree structure to a database table with auto incrementing IDs using an ADO.NET DataSet and a DataAdapter

What I want to know is, why can't I put a try block around that?
My specific case is that I have a mock class for a test. There is no default constructor, but I want one to make the tests simpler to read. I also want to wrap the exceptions thrown from the constructor into a RuntimeException.
So, what I want to do is effectively this:
public class MyClassMock extends MyClass {
public MyClassMock() {
try {
super(0);
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
}
// Mocked methods
}
But Java complains that super isn't the first statement.
My workaround:
public class MyClassMock extends MyClass {
public static MyClassMock construct() {
try {
return new MyClassMock();
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);

I want to assign a variable the value out of an attribute (easy so far) then use that variable to select another node based on the value of that attribute.

<xsl:variable name="myId" select="@id" />
<xsl value-of select="//Root/Some/Other/Path/Where[@id='{@myId}']/@Name />
That does not work. If I replace the {@myId} with the value that is in the variable then it does find the right node, but doign it this way produces nothing. I'm sure I'm missing something, or perhaps there is a different way to do it.

OK, I've been developing a site using ASP.NET MVC, and have decided to use the new SQL Server 2008 FILESTREAM facility to store files 'within' the database rather than as separate entities. While initially working within VS2008 (using a trusted connection to the database), everything was fine and dandy. Issues arose, however, when I shifted the site to IIS7 and changed over to SQL authentication on the database.
It seems that streaming a FILESTREAM doesn't work with SQL authentication, only with Windows authentication. Given this, what is the best practice to follow?
1. Is there a way to force this wort of thing to work under SQL authentication?
2. Should I add NETWORK SERVICE as a database user and then use Trusted authentication?
3. Should I create another user, and run both the IIS site and the database connection under this?
4. Any other suggestions?

The program is deigned to let you click on a memory after you have encountered it, and then jump to the line that the leak occurs on.
Unfortunately Purify is malfunctioning and Purify will not jump to the place that the leak occurred it only mentions the class and method that the leak occurs in. Unfortunately, sometimes this is about as useful as hiring a guide to help you hunt bears and having him point to the forest and tell you there are bears there.

Because guids are non-sequential (and they're client-side generated so I can't use newsequentialid()), I have made a non-primary, non-clustered index on this ID field rather than giving the tables a clustered primary key.
I'm wondering what the performance implications are for this approach. I've seen some people suggest that tables should have an auto-incrementing ("identity") int as a clustered primary key even if it doesn't have any meaning, as it means that the database engine itself can use that value to quickly look up a row instead of having to use a bookmark.
My database is merge-replicated across a bunch of servers, so I've shied away from identity int columns as they're a bit hairy to get right in replication.

Basically, compare two files (designated *old* and *new*), and produce a patch file that can be used to upgrade the *old* file to have the same contents as the *new* file.
The implementation would have to be relatively fast, and work with huge files. It should exhibit O(n) or O(logn) runtimes.
My own algorithms tend to either be lousy (fast but produce huge patches) or slow (produce small patches but have O(n^2) runtime).
Any advice, or pointers for implementation would be nice.
Specifically, the implementation will be used to keep servers in sync for various large datafiles that we have one master server for. When the master server datafiles change, we need to update several off-site servers as well.
The most naive algorithm I have made, which only works for files that can be kept in memory, is as follows:
1. Grab the first four bytes from the *old* file, call this the *key*
2. Add those bytes to a dictionary, where *key -> position*, where *position* is the position where I grabbed those 4 bytes, 0 to begin with
3. Skip the first of these four bytes, grab another 4 (3 overlap, 1 one), and add to the dictionary the same way
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for all 4-byte blocks in the *old* file
5. From the start of the *new* file, grab 4 bytes, and attempt to look it up in the dictionary
6. If found, find the longest match if there are several, by comparing bytes from the two files
7. Encode a reference to that location in the *old* file, and skip the matched block in the *new* file
8. If not found, encode 1 byte from the *new* file, and skip it
9. Repeat steps 5-8 for the rest of the *new* file
This is somewhat like compression, without windowing, so it will use a lot of memory. It is, however, fairly fast, and produces quite small patches, as long as I try to make the codes output minimal.
A more memory-efficient algorithm uses windowing, but produces much bigger patch files.
There are more nuances to the above algorithm that I skipped in this post, but I can post more details if necessary. I do, however, feel that I need a different algorithm altogether, so improving on the above algorithm is probably not going to get me far enough. | c# | patchgeneration | file | null | null | null | open | Binary patch-generation in C#

I've managed to get the services to run correctly for 3.0 and greater clients, but when I publish the services using a basicHttpBinding endpoint (which I believe is required for the compatibility I need), the service refactors my method signatures. e.g.

It obviously will never line up perfectly, but I think we can still make it better.
For reference, we work primarily in Java with Eclipse being the preferred IDE.
So far I've come up with:
- Instant Messaging/Skype - Can act as both a basic in/out/busy system and a quick communication system.
- Development Portal - A simple web page with links to important documentation or references for packages we use in each project and any other useful information.
- Cruise Control - So we don't waste as much time pulling down and then worrying about broken builds.
- VNC - For the times I want to show someone code that has no business being checked into Git yet, or when I need to walk through a series of screens for critique/advice.
What other tools are available that we can use to help me feel less like I'm stranded on a desert island? | codereview | collaboration | remote | null | null | null | open | Geographically Distributed Development

Does anyone know of a cost effective (free) control to represent this type of information.
What I'm looking for is a modified org-chart type chart/tree. The modification is that any node should have 2 parent nodes (E.G. a child should have a Mother/Father).
The solution I've came up with so far is to have 2 trees, an ancestor tree and a descendants tree, with the individual being inspected as the root node for each tree. It works, but is sort of clunky.

It grabs data from the API as requested, and has to store the data somehow, and make it available by doing:
print tvdbinstance[1][23]['episodename'] # get the name of episode 23 of season 1
What is the "best" way to abstract this data in the Tvdb() class?
I originally used a extended Dict() that automatically created sub-dicts (so you could do `x[1][2][3][4] = "something"` without having to do `if x[1].has_key(2): x[1][2] = []` and so on)
This worked okay, but there was no easy way of checking if x[3][24] was supposed to exist or not (so I couldn't raise the season_not_found exception)
Currently it's using four classes. ShowContainer, Show, Season and Episode. Each one is a very basic dict, which I can easily add extra functionality in (the search() function on Show() for example). Each has a `__setitem__`, `__getitem_` and `has_key`
This works mostly fine, I can check in Shows if it has that season in it's self.data dict, if not, raise season_not_found. Check in Season() if it has that episode and so on.
The problem now is it's presenting itself as a dict, but doesn't have all the functionality, and because I'm overriding the __getitem__ and __setitem__ functions, it's easy to accidently recursively call __getitem__ (so I'm not sure if extending the Dict class will cause problems)
The other slight problem is adding data into the dict is a lot more work than the old Ddict method (which was `self.data[seas_no][ep_no]['attribute'] = 'something'`). See _setItem and _setData. It's not too bad, since it's currently only a read-only API interface (so the users of the API should only ever retrieve data, not add more), but it's hardly.. elegant..
I think the series-of-classes system is probably the best way, but does anyone have a better idea for storing the data?

That was almost a decade and a half ago. One thing I've noticed is that when people reach a certain point in their skills they never really move beyond that. That is if they suck as a developer when you hire them, they will always suck. 10 years of C# experience doesn't necessarily make you a better developer than someone with 6 months of experience. (yeah, yeah, some people will get angry at reading this, but it's true, live with it).
So my question is, just how the hell do you get to be one of those super programming freaks that everyone worships? I've been doing coding puzzles as often as I can -- example: reverse a string in place using no swap buffers. (that is a fun one) and I've noticed myself get a little sharper.

I've been programming since college, was a hobbyist programmer as a kid, but never got serious until I was a freshman. That was almost a decade and a half ago. One thing I've noticed is that when people reach a certain point in their skills they never really move beyond that. That is if they suck as a developer when you hire them, they will always suck. 10 years of C# experience doesn't necessarily make you a better developer than someone with 6 months of experience. (yeah, yeah, some people will get angry at reading this, but it's true, live with it).
So my question is, just how the hell do you get to be one of those super programming freaks that everyone worships? I've been doing coding puzzles as often as I can -- example: reverse a string in place using no swap buffers. (that is a fun one) and I've noticed myself get a little sharper. I'm not improving as fast as I wish I could so I would love to hear some tips from people here. | 4 |

Now, if I were providing a public variable of an int or string type etc. in my form class I wouldn't think twice about using Getters and (maybe) Setters around this, even if they didn't do anything other than provide direct access to the variable.
However, the VS designer doesn't seem to implement such Getters/Setters for those public objects that are components on a form (and therefore does not comply with good programming practice).
So, the question is; In order to do the "right thing" should I wrap such VS designer components or objects in a Getter and/or Setter?? | .net | windowsforms | null | null | null | null | open | Should I provide accessor methods / Getter Setters for public/protected components on a form?

The application can not use a trusted connection because the database is behind a firewall and the domain server is not. So it appears that the connection string needs to have a DB username and password. The DLL currently has the database connection string hard coded, but I don't want to do this when we launch as the assembly can be disassembled and the username and password would be right there in the open.
One of the requirements is that the password needs to be changed once every few months, so we would need to roll that out to our internal user base.
Is there a way to store the password encrypted in such a way we can easily distribute to the entire user base without storing it in the assembly?
