Allowing any property/attribute on a server/usercontrol

I've noticed that on most, if not all, standard web controls in the System.Web.UI.WebControls namespace, you can add any properties you want to them without crashing the page. Take the asp:Button control for an example. This code is perfectly valid: <form runat="server"> <asp:Button runat="server" Text="Test button" crapAttribute=...

Can I add Runtime Properties to a Python App Engine App?

Coming from a java background I'm used to having a bunch of properties files I can swap round at runtime dependent on what server I'm running on e.g. dev/production.

Get property value dynamically

I have an object which has a huge number of properties. I'd like to get the value of each of those properties by simply looping through the properties collection of the object.

Propogating a "volatile" property

I put "volatile" because it's only vaguely so. I have a class which has a property called "StopRequested".

Can I set Properties directly in the Context Menu? C#

Following idea: I have a Game Level editor, which should be as simple as possible (I don't want to program something too complex). But that does not mean that the tool should be uncomfortable. So my idea was not to use different types of menus to set some properties, but a form of context menu. Now I wonder if it would be possible to in...

Eclipse Development: Eclipse Properties View - Display properties as read-only

Hi all. I am developing an Eclipse plugin in which the elements shown on my Editor (a GEF one) can have properties modified within the Eclipse Properties View.

Consider the following code that seems to work, but seems also very inefficient; I have to copy the whole property array just to make a change in one object. Why can I change the whole "carNames" array, but can't make a change to one...

When is it ok to change object state (for instance initialization) on property getter access?

(except for proxy setup!) I spent some time writing a question here regarding a better pattern for a problem I had - of a class that performed some conditional initialization on almost every property getter, since the initialization in the base class relied on data from the inheriting classes that wasn't available on construction.
