J2ME lacks the java.util.Properties class. Although it is possible to put application settings in the JAD file this is not recommended for many properties. (Since, some platforms limits the size of JAD file.) I want to put a configuration file inside my jar file and parse it. And I do not want to go with XML because it will be overshooti...

Hello, StackOverflow user jolson had a very nice piece of code that exemplifies how one can register menthods without using strings, but expression trees here.

I'm trying to write a TCustomDBGrid descendant that's designed to feel like a TListBox. One of the things I want to change is the Options property's defaults. TCustomDBGrid defines Options as: property Options: TDBGridOptions read FOptions write SetOptions default [dgEditing, dgTitles, dgIndicator, dgColumnResize, dgColLines, dgRo...
I've always wondered about when and where is the best time to cache a property value... Some of them seem pretty simple, like the one below... public DateTime FirstRequest { get { if (this.m_FirstRequest == null) { this.m_FirstRequest = DateTime.Now; } return (DateTime)this.m_FirstRequest; } }...
I am doing some simple sanity validation on various types. The current test I'm working on is checking to make sure their properties are populated. In this case, populated is defined as not null, having a length greater than zero (if a string), or not equal to 0 (if an integer). The "tricky" part of this test is that some properties are...
In an effort to teach myself more about WPF, I'm trying to build a simple application. Where I work we have some hardware that has a bank of 8 dip switches used for setting an address from 0 to 255 (as an 8-bit number). It's a simple concept that I would like to build into a WPF windows application that would allow users to see the dip s...

I'm trying to get some WPF concepts down, so I've put together a simple example of what I'm trying to do. I would like to set a custom property of a user control, and have it be used by an element within the control.

I understand that I can specify system properties to Tomcat by passing arguments with the -D parameter, for example "-Dmy.prop=value". I am wondering if there is a cleaner way of doing this by specifying the property values in the context.xml file or some other tomcat configuration file. I would like to do this because, first, it is eas...

When I write a class I always expose private fields through a public property like this: private int _MyField; public int MyField { get{return _MyField; } When is it ok to just expose a public field like this: public int MyField; I am creating a structure called Result and my intention is do this: public Result(bool result, string...

I want to do something like class Whotsit { private string testProp = "thingy"; public string TestProp { get { return testProp; } set { testProp = value; } } } ... Whotsit whotsit = new Whotsit(); ...
I've got a project that I started in Turbo Delphi, which I recently updated to D2009, and I've noticed a bit of a quirk in the form designer. All the old forms have a Win98 style applied to them. The buttons are gray with sharp square edges, for example. But any new form I've created since the upgrade displays its controls in WinXP styl...
