I am building a logging mechanism in a web application. Being a Windows man, I tend to give files with textual content the .txt ending. The suffix is automatically registered to be opened in a text editor in any Windows environment, and is just a nice convention. The app is going to be redistributed, and running mostly on Linux, though...
Hi, We are designing a SQL Server database with link tables for many-to-many relations. The question is are there any best practices for naming these kinds of tables for use with the entity framework?

For example, in this simple function where fun1 takes as input two numbers, adds them together and passes them to function 2 for printing the output. var1_in is local to each function, so is it OK to use the name var1_in in both functions, or is it better practice to call them different things? fun1 <- function (var1_in, var2_in) { va...
I want to create a model named Model. I'm pretty sure this isn't allowed, so I'm forced to use some other term for the model name. Let's say I call it Mdl. However from the user perspective, I want to still refer to the table as Model. Is there a way to define a verbose name for the entire model Mdl the same way you can for model fie...
If I only want to check if something is impossible or not (i.e., I will not be using something like if(possible)), should I name the boolean notPossible and use if(notPossible) or should I name it possible and use if(!possible) instead? And just to be sure, if I also have to check for whether it is possible, I would name the boolean pos...
When creating a project with the webapp archetype in Maven, they subtly advise not putting any Java source in the webapp project by not including the "src/main/java" folder. What do you name your Maven projects? project-webapp for the project that contains the JSP, CSS, Images, etc. project for the project that contains domain specific...

Hi, I have been looking at the source code of the IronPython project and the Orchard CMS project. IronPython operates with a namespace called Microsoft.Scripting.Hosting.Shell (part of the DLR). The Orchard Project also operates with the concept of a 'shell' indirectly in various interfaces (IShellContainerFactory, IShellSettings). No...

Hello, everyone! I'm talking about operators which not return a value but modify (overwrite) the first operand. Example in pseudo-code: add := return op1 + op2 increment := op1 = op1 + op2 Given this mapping schema: add -> increment subtract -> decrement What could possibly be the names for other operators? multiply, d...
I am trying to follow loosely I might add the blog tutorial It is probably because I am working of the svn trunk. I call the sql tables tbl_user tbl_role etc as described in the tutorial but the controller ends up to be TblUserController and the view folder is called tblUser tblRole. In the tutorial only the models take the table prefix...
Where I work, we employ a consultant to do a considerable amount of work for us to hold us over until we can hire/train more staff. He has been working with us for quite a long time now, and he has always had this strange habit of leaving his initials on EVERYTHING he touches, as if its his sort of branding or advertising. And by everyth...

Dim cache = New NamePendingDictionary(Of String, Sample) Dim value = cache("a", Function() New Sample()) And here is the class that need...

String.split - looks like a static method, but actually an instance method M...
Mostly because of reading this site, I'm trying to move away from Hungarian Notation. Or I guess the improper (system) Hungarian. I can figure out a better way to name most data types, but I don't know what to do with objects. What would be a good naming convention for objects? I use objRS for recordsets now. Would I just use rs? ...
