ASP.NET 3.5 Classes throughout our solution referenced ConfigurationManater.AppSettings[""] to get appSettings (from web.config). We decided we weren't happy with that. Folks were mistyping appSetting key names in code (which compiled fine), and it was cumbersome to track usages. And then there's the duplicated strings throughout the...
Hi all, I'd like to start a discussion on the best resources for refactoring tips, with an eye towards Front-End JavaScript refactoring. A friend whose opinion I respect suggests this book, though it uses examples in Java. I understand that the principles of OO refactoring should translate to another language. Let's talk about refactor...
I have a library that provides a reflection API on top of describeType() (a method that returns an XML object with all the specs of a class or instance). Since this library is used in several other libraries and frameworks, I really want it to be as fast as possible. The problem I'm facing is that I'm not sure about the best approach to...
I can such code in my .vimrc file: imap <D-1> <ESC>1gt vmap <D-1> 1gt nmap <D-1> 1gt imap <D-2> <ESC>2gt vmap <D-2> 2gt nmap <D-2> 2gt imap <D-3> <ESC>3gt vmap <D-3> 3gt nmap <D-3> 3gt imap <D-4> <ESC>4gt vmap <D-4> 4gt nmap <D-4> 4gt imap <D-5> <ESC>5gt vmap <D-5> 5gt nmap <D-5> 5gt imap <D-6> <ESC>6gt vmap <D-6> 6gt nmap <D-6> 6g...
I have trouble finding way to correctly refactor this code so that there would be as little duplicate code as possible, I have a couple of methods like this (pseudocode): public List<Something> parseSomething(Node n){ List<Something> somethings = new ArrayList<Something>(); initialize(); sameCodeInBothClasses(); List<Node> nodes...
I'm making a shopping cart app in Google App Engine. I have many classes that derive from a base handler: class BaseHandler(webapp.RequestHandler): def get(self, CSIN=None): self.body(CSIN) Does this mean that the body() method of every descendant class needs to have the same argument? This is cumbersome. Only one descenda...
In my services all exposed methods have: try { // the method core is written here } catch(Exception ex) { Log.Append(ex); } It's boring and ugly to repeat it over and over again. Is there any way to avoid that? Is there a better way to keep the service working even if exceptions occur and keep sending the exception details to ...
Hello, The question title is a bit strange because I'm not exactly sure how to phrase the problem. The issue is that I have many links to which I want to bind a click event with an ajax call, and I'm just looking to refactor some duplicate code into a single area. The links I'm trying to bind an ajax call only have one thing that diffe...
I have two views each with their own presenters and they need a two way communication between them. Like if the user name changes in View A, presenter A needs to notify presenter B of the change and vice versa. Should I create a high level presenter/eventHandler that gets notified when either A or B needs to trigger an event or is there ...
This seems like an easy enough issue but I can't seem to find the keywords to effect my searches. I'm trying to unit test by mocking out all objects within this method call. I am able to do so to all of my own creations except for this one: public void MyFunc(MyVarClass myVar) { Image picture; ... picture = Image.FromStrea...
Hi, If I have a large .NET method, I want to know if it is good practice to split it up into multiple methods or not. My concerns are: 1 - Is there any point creating a method if it will only be called once? 2 - If I'm calling a private method from within my class, I try not to use instance variables. Is this good or bad practice? Fo...
I'm doing some refactoring on a piece of code I have, and am thinking of moving some stuff from the model into helper methods. Nothing major, but my model does some screen-scrapping, and I need to treat (and filter) some of the strings returned, so they are passed back to the controller nicely formatted. I've been using helper methods ...
I'm currently using a certain ItemTemplate for three repeaters that are all on the same page, but they are all bound to different data sources. Is there any way to refactor my web form without using a user control to easily refer to this template so I will only have to define it once? ...
Possible Duplicate: What are Code Smells? What is the best way to correct them? We've all run across (as well as produced) "code smells". There are many kinds as documented here. What I'm interested in is what's the funk responsible for the funkiest code. It is difficult when writing code to maintain the perspective needed...
UPDATE: I should have mentioned in the original post that I want to learn more about generics here. I am aware that this can be done by modifying the base class or creating an interface that both document classes implement. But for the sake of this exercise I'm only really interested in solutions that do not require any modification to t...
Over a year ago, I remember watching one of DevExpress evangelists previewing or at least promoting rich Javascript refactoring (beyond just limited intellisense) within the Visual Studio shell, I recall part of CodeRush/DevExpress product line. I was excited. On checking today (lmgtfy) I can find only very very limited reference to it...
I've refactored how the merged-dictionary (all_classes) below is created, but I'm wondering if it can be more efficient. I have a dictionary of dictionaries, like this: groups_and_classes = {'group_1': {'class_A': [1, 2, 3], 'class_B': [1, 3, 5, 7], 'class_c': [1, 2],...
class A extends ApiClass { public void duplicateMethod() { } } class B extends AnotherApiClass { public void duplicateMethod() { } } I have two classes which extend different api classes. The two class has some duplicate methods(same method repeated in both class) and how to remove this duplication? Edit Both ...
How do I turn one file with lots of classes to many files with one class per file? (C\C++) So I have that file with such structure: Some includes and then lots of classes that sometimes call each other: #include <wchar.h> #include <stdlib.h> //... class PG_1 { //... } class PG_2 { //... } //...... class PG_N { //... } ...
I have a method in Java that concatenates 2 Strings. It currently works correctly, but I think it can be written better. public static String concat(String str1, String str2) { String rVal = null; if (str1 != null || str2 != null) { rVal = ""; if (str1 != null) { rVal += str1; } if (str2 != null) { rVal ...
