I have a lot of code like the following, where I explicitly implement some events required by an interface. public class IMicrowaveNotifier { event EventHandler<EventArgs> DoorClosed; event EventHandler<EventArgs> LightbulbOn; // ... } public class Microwave : IMicrowaveNotifier { private EventHandler<EventArgs> _doorClosed; ...
Is anybody out there using Project Lombok for a large scale production system? How does it influence your compile process (i.e. does it do two-pass compilation, slow it down, make it more fragile)? ...
I'm working on a project where there are two sets of XML schema-generated objects which are two entirely different sets of classes with a similar structure. Conversion between the the two sets consists of a huge amount of boilerplate redundant coding (such as converting elements withing several nested layers of collections). I'm interes...
My project has many reader and writer classes. I started implementing IDisposable, but I believe that it adds many boilerplate code to my classes. For each of the classes, I need to implement: A destructor. A Dispose() method. A Dispose(bool disposing) method. A "bool disposed" field. A check to see if the object is already disposed on...
So I'm writing a game in Haskell, and I'm expressing a player's turn as a series of state-altering functions that correlate to various turn phases. Originally, this looks something like: let game' = phase1 game game'' = phase2 game' -- etc. Prime candidate for State monadosity, right? This leads to the more elegant: do phase1 ...
Has anyone seen metamorphic code -- that is, code that generates and runs instructions (including IL and Java Bytecode, as well as native code) -- used to reduce boilerplate code? Regardless of the application or language, typically one has some database code to get rows from the database and return a list of objects. Of course, there ...
I've used the Scrap Your Boilerplate and Uniplate libraries in the Haskell programming language, and I would find that form of generic programming over discriminated unions to be really useful. Is there an equivalent library in the f# programming language? ...
Let's say I have the following entity: public class Store { public List<Product> Products { get; set; } public List<Employee> Employees { get; set; } public List<Camera> Cameras { get; set; } } In other words, a Store that has Products, Employees, and security Cameras. I want to convert this Store to a StoreDTO: public cl...
Like its style.css has body {background:transparent} So am i suppose to keep background transparent always to make good html5 website ? Are these default ? Should i override them as per my website ? ...
I have been using cl_mem in some of my OpenCL boilerplate code, but I have been using it through context and not a sharp understanding of what exactly it is. I have been using it as a type for the memory I push on and off the board, which has so far been floats. I tried looking at the OpenCL docs, but cl_mem doesn't show up (does it?). I...
A coworker had never heard of this, and I couldn't provide a real definition. For me, it's always been an instance of 'I-know-it-when-I-see-it'. Bonus question, who originated the term? ...
I have a Direction Enum: Public Enum Direction Left Right Top Bottom End Enum And Sometimes I need to get the inverse, so it seems nice to write: SomeDirection.Inverse() But I can't put a method on an enum! However, I can add an Extension Method (VS2008+) to it. In VB, Extension Methods must be inside Modules. I r...
