So one of the things that has been talked about a few times on the podcast is whether menu items should always be enabled to prevent "WHY ISN'T THIS AVAILABLE!" frustration for the end user. This strikes me as a good idea, but then there's the issue of communicating the lack of availability (and the reason why) to the user. Is there any...
While this is more of a written language issue than a coding one, it is something that programmers must do in circumstances where copy is not provided by a client or someone else. Any examples of error messages, good or bad, are welcome to make the point. I briefly searched and could not find a dupe thread. Ok, have at it. Thanks, all. ...
I've skinned this cat a few different ways over the last 6 years.. hardcoded strings, static classes with consts, and resource files. What approach do you use, and why? Bonus points for integrating with client-side error messages! ...
This might be a bit weird question, but I'll give it a shot: HELP, my Visual Studio 2008 / ASP.NET is giving me GERMAN error messages. Besides the fact that translations tend to be not as good as the original text, I can't search for those and find relevant answers to my problems on the internet. So: How do I switch my German Visual St...
I'm want to get an idea how I should handle end-user visible error messages in my web application. How much information do you give in error messages? Do you redirect all errors, regardless of type, to a common error page, or do you have a small set of pages (404, 403, all others)? Do you give error codes that the user could reference/...
I want to use custom exception handling, for example instead of using (Exception ex) i want to use (LoginException ex) or (RegistrationException ex) or (SomeNameException ex) is it possible to design such custom exception handling in ASP.NET webforms? ...
Is there any (simple) way to get some control of the order in which a model's errors appear in the view? Ordering the rules does not seem to help whatsoever. ...
Hi As my programs involves more and more code Im starting to get a bit frustrated with the error messages that are thrown in the console: 2009-11-14 14:31:57.513 FC[915:5b27] *** -[SearchResultParser respondsToSelector:]: message sent to deallocated instance 0x82d28e0 This one is not the worst as it actually tells me that it has t...
So I'm using a Global Resource file for all static messages within my site. Mainly error messages etc.. They do not need to be localized, but I felt it was just a good idea to store them all in one location. Would it have been better to use just a static class called "SiteConstants" or something? Or is using a RESX file okay? Thanks...
I have two models: Album and Track. Album has many tracks, and Track belongs to album. I'd like to have the ability to create as many tracks as needed while creating the album, similailiy to railscasts episode 197. Unlike the railscasts episode, though, the Track form contains both a title and a description - both are required. Right n...
I'm using a method outline by gregor (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/143320/create-cronjob-with-zend-framework) to create command line execution for parts of my application such as cron jobs, admin tasks, and the like. It works, however, no errors get reported when I create a new object that has not been defined (misspelling) and oth...
I want to number any JSF error messages (e.g. validation, conversion messages) that appears if a user enters invalid input in a couple of input fields.

How can I tell Maven to suppress the "Unable to find resource" INFO messages for repositories in which it cannot find a dependency, but display those where it does find the dependency? That is, display the hits, but omit the misses since these drown out and obscure the hits. For example, instead of this output: Downloading: http://do...
So I am debugging some Matlab code and I get the dimension-doesn't-agree-error for some expressions. It's all nice that Matlab points to the correct line etc. However it would be nice if Matlab would output the dimensions of the variables involved in the error text so I don't have to deal with sizing them up myself. Sometimes for a long ...
