Suppose I have a table in my database that is made up of the following columns, 3 of which uniquely identify the row: CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Lines] ( [Attr1] [nvarchar](10) NOT NULL, [Attr2] [nvarchar](10) NOT NULL, [Attr3] [nvarchar](10) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (Attr1, Attr2, Attr3) ) Now, I have an object in my applicatio...
I got a bunch of data in a database. The goal is to present them to a user in a readable way, and since they're stock-data, there needs to be a graph there. Now it brings one question: which approach would be better, to create a graph on a server side dynamically or let the server just push raw data, allowing the client to generate grap...
I am a dotnet newbie. After years of procedural coding, my company is moving on to the HOTTEST new trend i.e WINDOWS FORMS :) Our Application is TabbedMDI. Basically we have a menu on the left and clicking an entry opens a new tab for CRUD. I have seen some MVP samples that have a couple of textboxes and it demonstrates moving the code...
I have seen many errors over the course of my computer-using life, and a lot of them seemed to be Access Violation Exceptions calling way out into non-readable memory or 0x00000000/0xFFFFFFFF. What sort of programming error causes this? is it intentional to get the program to crash when something goes very wrong? ...

I noticed StackOverflow appears to be targeting screen resolution widths of 1024px or more. I also checked Amazon, NBC, MSN, & AOL which target more lay users, and they all appear to be targeting the same width. Is 1024px the current recommended width for web apps targeting the largest cross-section of users who use default monitor res...
I am looking at the ASP.net gallery of designs that they have available and I cannot find anything that I can use as a base to customize. The project is a basic prototype so I cannot spend money on a designer yet, but I cannot let it go with the default scheme. Any ideas on where I can find a good mvc design that I can modify. As ma...

I'm writing an ASP.NET MVC application using NHibernate as my ORM. I'm struggling a bit with the design though, and would like some input. So, my question is where do I put my business/validation logic (e.g., email address requires @, password >= 8 characters, etc...)? So, which makes the most sense: Put it on the domain objects the...
I find that I learn best by example. Is there a good website or codebase that shows how event handling, collision detection, modeling, and basic 3D drawing works? The game I'm trying to begin with is a simple racing game where the user controls a small space ship and navigates through channels, asteroid fields, space colonies, and vario...

I have an existing SQL Server database whose structure I can't really change, although I can add stored procedures or new tables if I want. I have to write a stand-alone program to access the DB, process the data and produce some reports. I've chosen C# and Visual Studio as we're pretty much an MS shop. I've made a start at exploring us...

I try to avoid "global" statements in python and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/146557/do-you-use-the-global-statement-in-python suggests this is a common view. Values go into a function through its arguments and come out through its return statement (or reading/writing files or exceptions or probably something else I'm forgetting)....

Hi! I'm a graphic designer - turned web designer - turned web developer - who is currently trying to turn into a mac developer. I've nearly done programming my first app. Is a very, very simple application but I'm happy because I'm learning a lot of new stuff. The problem is: I don't like how it looks. As you may guess, design is a ver...
Is anyone aware of scalable GUI for the desktop (or browser) ? Imagine you layout a huge gui that is too big for one regular screen, but you could zoom out see the complete gui (and even could press buttons etc.) or zoom into the area of your interest. Similar to browser on a mobile phone, zoom out and you cant read the text, but you st...
