Let's take an example POCO: public class NoahsArk { public virtual Noah Noah { get; set; } } And the mapping file, using FNH: public class NoahsArkMap : ClassMap<NoahsArk> { References(x => x.Noah).Cascade.All(); } Now, I run...
In this program I'm writing, it would need frequent database communication, and at the moment I'm using just XML files. Is there really a benefit from using MySQL or SQL in general over XML. Just note that I'm using C# so MySQL is not very fun to deal with in it (from what little experience I have). ...
Hi I have two ruby hashes (which are essentially models) and am trying to find the differences between them, one is an old instance of an object where the other has new values assigned to some attributes.

Hi everyone. So my problem is this: I am receiving a JSON string from across the network. When decoded (using SBJSON libraries), it becomes an NSDictionary that SHOULD contain a number of some sort for the key 'userid'. I say 'should' because when I compare the value to an int, or an NSINTEGER, or NSNumber, it never evaluates correctly....
In my programming class we currently have a project that requires us to take arguments into the program. I then need to be able to check one of the arguments to see which value was passed to the program so that I can choose the appropriate behavior for the program to follow. In a previous homework assignment I did this with the strcmp fu...

Maybe, some performance comparison or some noticeable specific differences is what I want to know. As I heard there is no really big difference. Hence, I've got one more question.

For example here I've 2*255, 2*127, 5*34 and so on. So I've ...
We have a for fun project which require us to compare two black and white bitmaps of two signature and say whether they are the same persons signature. As this is just two loaded bitmaps rather than data captured from a tablet the approach is going to be a little different to normal signature recognition. I am thinking it would require...
How do I compare times in python? I see that date comparisons can be done and there's also "timedelta", but I'm struggling to find out how to check if the current time (from datetime.now()) is earlier, the same, or later than a specified time (e.g. 8am) regardless of the date. ...
I thought caseinsensitiveLocalizedCompare: would take care of this (that is not including "the" and "a" in the comparison) , but it does not. (Also, In response to the first answer below, I understand that "case insensitive" part wouldn't help, but I thought that the "localized" part may help. I can't find any options to do this and g...

I'm attempting to use reflection to determine the result of a call to .Equals on two different but "equal" instances of a type. My method would be something like: public static bool TypeComparesProperties(Type t) { // return true if (an instance of t).Equals(a different instance of t) // will be true if all publicly accessible...
I'm experimenting a bit with textual comparison/basic plagiarism detection, and want to try this on a website-to-website basis. However, I'm a bit stuck in finding a proper way to process the text. How would you process and compare the content of two websites for plagiarism? I'm thinking something like this pseudo-code: // extract tex...
