• Threading.Timer vs. Forms.Timer

  - by Jekke

  The short form of this question: When, if ever, is it appropriate to use the Forms.Timer in a multithreaded WinForms application? More specifically, I am architecting an application that uses multiple System.Threading.Timers to launch processes asynchronously, check queues containing the results of those asynchronous processes, and update the statistics to be shown by the application's main form. In an application like that, is it appropriate to use a Forms.Timer to actually check the application statistics and draw them to the main form or would that just throw a wrench into the application's smooth running?

• Who's using Ruby on Rails in production?

  - by Jekke

  I've been kicking around Ruby and the rails framework and have been considering recommending to a client-of-a-client that they use it to rebuild their site, which is currently built in very bad ASP classic that will have to be rewritten from the ground up regardless of what technology is used. One thing I'm missing from my pitch is a list of major sites using Ruby-on-Rails. Are there any yet?

• Is there any way, short of "copy and paste inheritence" to share a .net class with a Silverlight app

  - by Jekke

  I have a project in two parts: a Silverlight front end and a WCF duplex service. Ideally, I would like to pass a message of a custom type (call it TradeOffer) from the WCF service to be consumed by the Silverlight application. When I try to, I get an error that indicates I can't pass an object of an unknown type across the wire like that and that, maybe, I could do so if I used the InternalsVisibleTo attribute on the server component. I'm not sure if that would work in this environment and know it would be messy in development. I originally put the message definition in a library to be used by both the service and the client, but couldn't add a reference to the library from the Silverlight client (because it's not a Silverlight assembly.) Is there some way I can access the definition of a message class from both the Silverlight client that consumes it and the service that publishes it without using the InternalsVisibleTo attribute or should I write the application another way?

• Copying large amounts of data into a SQL CE database

  - by Jekke

  If I have a large amount of data in memory, what is the best way to copy it into a SQL CE table? The current technology stack is C#, ADO.net, and SQL CE. My initial idea was to do one INSERT statement for each row of data, but this is time-consuming. Is there an easier way?

• Is there a declarative language for data definitions?

  - by Jekke

  Reading about WPF and thinking about my application's data store at the same time led me to wonder if there are any languages or tools that allow you to define relational data in a declarative way? A shallow Google search suggests no such thing exists. Yet it seems so obviously useful. The kind of tool I have in mind would declaratively describe (at least) entities, relationships and views is a platform-agnostic way that would act as an abstraction layer between data-driven applications and their datastores. Does any such tool exist?

• How do you normalize one-to-one-or-the-other relationships?

  - by Jekke

  I'm storing data on baseball statistics and would like to do so with three tables: players, battingStats, and pitchingStats. For the purpose of the question, each player will have batting stats or pitching stats, but not both. How would I normalize such a relationship in 3NF?

• Silverlight datagrid fails to display data.

  - by Jekke

  I have a datagrid defined in my project's XAML: <data:DataGrid IsReadOnly="True" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" x:Name="gridOfferings" Margin="10,10,10,10" AutoGenerateColumns="False"> <data:DataGrid.Columns> <data:DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding Trader}" DisplayIndex="0" Header="Trader" Width="Auto" FontSize="11"/> <data:DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding Product}" DisplayIndex="1" Header="Product" Width="Auto" FontSize="11"/> </data:DataGrid.Columns> </data:DataGrid> I bind it to a List< of custom objects: public MainPage() { InitializeComponent(); _Rows = new List<OfferingRowData>(); _Rows.Add(new OfferingRowData() { Trader = "Kameilya Loenstein", Product = "American Consolidated AAA", Price = 24.95, OfferingMade = DateTime.Now }); _Rows.Add(new OfferingRowData() { Trader = "Bill Foobar", Product = "IBM Mid-Atlantic Exotic", Price = 204.90, OfferingMade = DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(-3) }); gridOfferings.ItemsSource = _Rows; } When it shows up on the page, the column headers appear, but none of the data does. What am I doing wrong?

• Instantiating a python class in C#

  - by Jekke

  I've written a class in python that I want to wrap into a .net assembly via IronPython and instantiate in a C# application. I've migrated the class to IronPython, created a library assembly and referenced it. Now, how do I actually get an instance of that class? The class looks (partially) like this: class PokerCard: "A card for playing poker, immutable and unique." def __init__(self, cardName): The test stub I wrote in C# is: using System; namespace pokerapp { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { var card = new PokerCard(); // I also tried new PokerCard("Ah") Console.WriteLine(card.ToString()); Console.ReadLine(); } } } What do I have to do in order to instantiate this class in C#?

• Is there a declarative way to force a set of Buttons to be the same size?

  - by Jekke

  I'm writing a form in XAML that has multiple buttons with content of different sizes (ie "OK" and "Save As...") Ideally, I'd like them all to be the smallest size possible to hold the largest content. In the example above, both buttons would be the width necessary to hold "Save As..." plus the margins and padding. If they were Grid cells, I could use a SizeGroup. Is there a similar declaration for Buttons?

• Is there a guide to debugging Java processes in Eclipse across OSs?

  - by Jekke

  I have an application written in Java to run on Linux. I'm developing in Eclipse under windows. I would like to run the code on the Linux box and debug it on the Windows one remotely. I've found some information about how to do so, but it's pretty sparse. Does anyone have (or can point to) a complete explanation of the process? Any help would be appreciated.

• How practical is it to host Apache and mySQL/PostreSQL on the same Linux box?

  - by Jekke

  I'd like to set up a LAMP (or LAPP) web server for hosting Internet sites. Assuming no more than moderate traffic, are there practical concerns against setting it all up on the same machine (or, in this case, VPS?)
