We have a desktop application which needs to expose API. Some people say: API should have an abstraction layer so actual implementation can change in future versions. Others say: API should be version specific. So an API which uses version X will only work with it. Version X+1 will also deploy the dll's of version X in order not to bre...

I was wondering about few of the below OOP concepts 1) abstract class cannot have final constructor. Why cant subclasses have same same constructor without rewriting them 2) abstract method cannot be private . We can still implement the abstract class in same file. So why not allow this ...
Hi, Which is the correct way of providing values to a abstract factory method? Eg. interface IFactory { ISomething Create(int runTimeValue); } class Factory : IFactory { public ISomething Create(int runTimeValue) { return new Something(repository, runTimeValue); } } In the example the repository is injected via the cons...
In my Grails application, I run some batch processes asynchronously, and would like the process to log various status messages so that the administrator later can examine them. I thought of using log4j JDBC appender as the simplest solution, but from what I can tell it doesn't use DataSource. Has anybody gotten it to work or wrote the...

Hi Experts, We are designing one form in WPF which will have 5 modes. Now the question is that should handle these 5 modes in the same form by defining one form enum and manipulating the visibility of the controls. One thing to be noted is that as the mode goes on changing..complexity is going to increase for handling these modes. No...
Trying to wrap my head around how to structure an app around the UINavigationController. It seems to me that most explanations assume that the app always starts off at the root controller and drills down from there, but I'm unclear as to how this fits in with a login/registration step that happens before you get into the app. The struc...

We have an audit requirement where we need to track user activity (e.g. successful login, logout actions and failed logins). We have defined 3 event types to track this information. What would be a nice way to show these violations (e.g. failed logins) or normal events (e.g. successful login, logout events) for the system administrator....
Anyone have a suggestion for a decent book / web resource for Sharepoint 2010 technical information? I'm looking for one that provides a technical breakdown of both the design and development aspects of the system (ie. C# library reference + code examples AND user level design tutorials). The resources provided on MSDN are pretty poorly ...
We have created an applet with javafx and it seems that in order to load the applet several jar, jnlp and js files are required to be downloaded from dl.javafx.com. I tried to work out which files were needed so I could host them on our own server but after spending an hour or so on it I got tired of reading code and gave up. Doesn't it ...
If our UserControl requires certain properties are set for it to be useful, what's the best way to ensure they are set? Even if just as a note to self and/or close colleagues. We've tried using an Initialize method, but that's already caught us out because we forgot to update the Initialize in one instance, having slightly changed the d...
Ok I have some code that boils down to a pattern like this class Foo(object): def get_something1(self): # in the actual code it asks a web server but here I replaced that with "foo_something1" instead of the code from a web server self.something1 = "foo_something1" def get_something2(self): # needs the result of get_someth...

I am learning programing and software design and Java in school right now. The class that is getting me mixed up is Software Design. We are using Word to run simple VB code to do simple programs. My instructor says I am losing cohesion by using running totals. I am having a hard time thinking of a way to avoid them. Here is an examp...
Sometimes, I felt method overloading may create confusion. class a { public: void copy(float f); void copy(double d); }; a me; me.copy(1.2); // Not obvious at the first sight on which version we are calling. A workaround on this is. class a { public: void copyFloat(float f); void copyDouble(double d); }; How...
