Silverlight: Wrapping a non-DependencyProperty in a DependencyProperty

Hi, I want to be able to add a Binding to some properties of a DataGridTextColumn (i.e. Width, Sorting order, etc.), however it seems that those properties are not DependencyPropertys, so they can't be bound to. Another answer suggested subclassing DataGridTextColumn to expose those properties as DependencyPropertys, however I can't see...

How do I have to configure a RMI environment so that I'm able to use it in a "real" network?

Hi there! Because I didn't want to implement a communication protocol for my client-server based application, I implemented a RMI client and a RMI server on both sides for the information exchange between the two components. If I try to use my application by starting the two components on the same machine, everything is working fine. ...

Adding a set accessor to a property in a class that derives from an abstract class with only a get accessor

I have an abstract class, AbsClass that implements an interface, IClass. IClass has a couple properties with only Get accessors. AbsClass implements the properties of IClass as abstract properties to be defined in the classes that derive from AbsClass. So all of the classes that derive from AbsClass will also need to satisfy IClass by ...

I have recently stumbled across an issue where the WPF ListView control seems to be restricting the ability to sort its items.

(Ruby) Converting string values into assignable properties for OpenStructs...?

Hi All, I've got a bit of an odd situation. If I were using a hash, this issue would be easy, however, I'm trying to use "OpenStruct" in Ruby as it provides some decently cool features. Basically, I think I need to "constantize" a return value. I've got a regular expression: textopts = OpenStruct.new() textopts.recipients = [] ...

C#: Public Fields versus Automatic Properties

We're often told we should protect encapsulation by making getter and setter methods (properties in C#) for class fields, instead of exposing the fields to the outside world. But there are many times when a field is just there to hold a value and doesn't require any computation to get or set. For these we would all do this number: publ...

Is it bad practice to include properties/configuaration files within jars?

For example: MyApp is a web app that contains a properties file (server.properties) that describes config data (e.g. server names) for the app. In the development phase, server.properties is located in its own IDE project folder (a logical spot for it). Now it's time to deploy MyApp. The IDE makes it quite trivial to jar up the class...

How do I bring DRY (don't repeat yourself) to Objective-C

I'm coming from Ruby to Objective-C and I keep doing: NSObject *foo; @property (nonatomic,retain) NSObject *foo; in the .h file, and then in .m file: @synthesize foo; at the top and [foo release] in dealloc. It's 4 steps to add foo! Do seasoned Objective-C programmers do all four steps manually each and every time they want t...
