• Neat way of calling InvokeRequired and BeginInvoke

  - by ho

  I seem to remember seeing some neat way of calling InvokeRequired and BeginInvoke to avoid repeating too much code in every event handler but I can't remember what that was. So does anyone know a neat way of writing that code?

• Java Download Concurrent Data

  - by xger86x

  Hi, i'm developing an app which download map tiles around different places in a city. To do this, i have one thread for each place in which i select the tiles and create a thread to download each. Well, the question is how to avoid creating a thread for a tile that already exists in the thread pool. Should not just check if the file exists, since it is possible that the thread for that tile already exists (other place already need that tile) but the file has not been created- Any idea? Thanks

  In my SVN repository tags are listed by version where name contains dots. e.g. 0.10 or 0.12.1 branches are named like proj-0.24-rc In the same time, for example in Mono project branches has not dots. Is it some practice to avoid dots? Could it be treated like extension delimiter (by web server where repository is been served), etc?

• Is there a way to make eclipse report a general "catch (Exception e)" as an error/warning (in java)?

  - by Rog

  I'm trying to encourage a best practice of not catching general exceptions in Java code. eg: try { ... } catch (Exception e) { // bad! ... } Is there a way to flag this as an error/warning in Eclipse? I know PMD picks this up, but I'd rather avoid integrating it into everyone's build environment at the moment.

• Odd behaviour with scala method syntax

  - by Ceilingfish

  Hi chaps, I hit a bit of a quirk of scala's syntax I don't really understand object Board { def getObjectAt(x:Int, y:Int):Placeable = return locations(x)(y) } works fine. But object Board { def getObjectAt(x:Int, y:Int):Placeable { return locations(x)(y) } } returns the error Board.scala:8: error: illegal start of declaration return locations(x)(y) I found some stuff that says the second form convinces the scala compiler you're trying to specify an expansion to the return type Placeable. Is there a way I can fix this, or should I just avoid specifying a return type here?

• Calculate rolling / moving average in c or c++

  - by Biohazard

  I know this is achievable with boost as per: Using boost::accumulators, how can I reset a rolling window size, does it keep extra history? But I really would like to avoid using boost. I have googled and not found any suitable or readable examples. Basically I want to track the moving average of an ongoing stream of a stream of floating point numbers using the most recent 1000 numbers as a data sample. What is the easiest way to achieve this?

• No IO exception reported for socket operation when the interface is removed

  - by user352536

  The wifi network is connected, the application setup a socket connection and exchange data with the remote server. But when turn off the wifi, the inteface is removed, while socket operation read/write on this socket is still like normal, no any IO exception reported. The application has to do some extra checking to avoid waiting for the data forever. Is this the normal case for Android design? Is there any plan to fix it?

• Getting started with unit testing in VS2010?

  - by Herb Caudill

  I'm new to both unit testing and Visual Studio 2010 (just upgraded from 2008). I'm interested in using VS2010's new built-in unit testing tools, but would like to get the lay of the land first. I haven't been able to find any resources or tutorials on unit testing with VS2010 specifically - has anyone found a good walk-through? I'm also open to persuasion that we should stick with NUnit or the like, if anyone knows a reason to avoid the built-in tools.

• In Bash, how do you access command line arguments inside a function?

  - by DonGar

  I'm attempting to write a function in bash that will access the scripts command line arguments, but they are replaced with the positional arguments to the function. Is there any way for the function to access the command line arguments if they aren't passed in explicitly? # Demo function function stuff { echo $0 $* } # Echo's the name of the script, but no command line arguments stuff # Echo's everything I want, but trying to avoid stuff $*

• Which user account to assign as owner when attaching an SQL Server database?

  - by FreshCode

  This is a simple database security & performance question, but I've always used either a special user (eg. mydbuser), or Windows' built-in NETWORK SECURITY account as the owner when attaching databases to my SQL Server instances. When deploying my database to a production server, is there a specific user I should stick to or avoid? I would think that using an account with a set password could open the database up to a potential security issue.

• Return statements for all functions

  - by emddudley

  How common is it for coding style guidelines to include a requirement that all functions include a return statement (including functions which return void)? To avoid being subjective or argumentative, I'd like answers which can name specific companies or open-source projects which have this requirement. If you haven't ever come across this coding style guideline, or you have a resource (book, online article) which discusses it, that would be useful as well. Thanks!

• Stored Queries?

  - by phpeffedup

  Is it considered crazy to store common SQL queries for my web app in a database for use in execution? Or is that common practice? Or is it impossible? My thinking is, this way, I avoid hard-coding SQL into my application files, and add another level of abstraction. Is this crazy? Is this what a stored procedure is? Or is that something else?

• VS2010 Database Compare. How do you create a *.DBSchema extensioned file?

  - by George

  I'd like to take a snapshot of my database, make some changes and then use the db compare functionality to identify the changes, and who knows, maybe even generate scripts to make the change. I'd like to avoid having to backup the current db and restore it as a separate db just to have a "before" snapshot. I'm guessing I shouldn't have to. Obsviously, I'm clueless about db projects and am looking to be pointed in the right direction. ty!
