  • Sorting the output from XmlSerializer in C#

    - by prosseek
    In this post, I could get an XML file generated based on C# class. Can I reorder the XML elements based on its element? My code uses var ser = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Module)); ser.Serialize(WriteFileStream, report, ns); WriteFileStream.Close(); to get the XML file, but I need to have the XML file sorted based on a BlocksCovered variable. public class ClassInfo { public string ClassName; public int BlocksCovered; public int BlocksNotCovered; public double CoverageRate; public ClassInfo() {} public ClassInfo(string ClassName, int BlocksCovered, int BlocksNotCovered, double CoverageRate) { this.ClassName = ClassName; this.BlocksCovered = BlocksCovered; this.BlocksNotCovered = BlocksNotCovered; this.CoverageRate = CoverageRate; } } [XmlRoot("Module")] public class Module { [XmlElement("Class")] public List<ClassInfo> ClassInfoList; public int BlocksCovered; public int BlocksNotCovered; public string moduleName; public Module() { ClassInfoList = new List<ClassInfo>(); BlocksCovered = 0; BlocksNotCovered = 0; moduleName = ""; } } Module report = new Module(); ... TextWriter WriteFileStream = new StreamWriter(xmlFileName); XmlSerializerNamespaces ns = new XmlSerializerNamespaces(); ns.Add("", ""); var ser = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Module)); ser.Serialize(WriteFileStream, report, ns); WriteFileStream.Close();

  • Can I make a derived class inherit a derived member from its base class in Java?

    - by Eric
    I have code that looks like this: public class A { public void doStuff() { System.out.print("Stuff successfully done"); } } public class B extends A { public void doStuff() { System.out.print("Stuff successfully done, but in a different way"); } public void doMoreStuff() { System.out.print("More advanced stuff successully done"); } } public class AWrapper { public A member; public AWrapper(A member) { this.member = member; } public void doStuffWithMember() { a.doStuff(); } } public class BWrapper extends AWrapper { public B member; public BWrapper(B member) { super(member); //Pointer to member stored in two places: this.member = member; //Not great if one changes, but the other does not } public void doStuffWithMember() { member.doMoreStuff(); } } However, there is a problem with this code. I'm storing a reference to the member in two places, but if one changes and the other does not, there could be trouble. I know that in Java, an inherited method can narrow down its return type (and perhaps arguments, but I'm not certain) to a derived class. Is the same true of fields?

  • Main purpose of this task is to calculate volumes and surface areas of three dimensional geometric shapes like, cylinders, cones.

    - by Csc_Girl_Geek
    In Java Language Design your classes as below introducing: an Interface named “GeometricShapes” an abstract class named “ThreeDShapes” two child classes of ThreeDShapes: Cylinders and Cones. One test class names “TestShapes” Get the output for volumes and surface areas of cylinders and cones along with respective values of their appropriate input variables. Try to use toString() method and array. Your classes should be designed with methods that are required for Object-Oriented programming. So Far I Have: package Assignment2; public interface GeometricShapes { public void render(); public int[] getPosition(); public void setPosition(int x, int y); } package Assignment2; public abstract class ThreeDShapes implements GeometricShapes { public int[] position; public int[] size; public ThreeDShapes() { } public int[] getPosition() { return position; } public void setPosition(int x, int y) { position[0] = x; position[1] = y; } } package Assignment2; public class Cylinders extends ThreeDShapes { public Cylinder() { } public void render() { } } I don't think this is right and I do not know how to fix it. :( Please help.

  • how to change a button into a imagebutton in asp.net c#

  • How to have member variables and public methods in a jQuery plugin?

    - by user169867
    I'm trying to create a jQuery plugin that will create something like an autoCompleteBox but with custom features. How do I store member variables for each matching jQuery element? For example I'll need to store a timerID for each. I'd also like to store references to some of the DOM elements that make up the control. I'd like to be able to make a public method that works something like: $("#myCtrl").autoCompleteEx.addItem("1"); But in the implementation of addItem() how can I access the member variables for that particular object like its timerID or whatever? Below is what I have so far... Thanks for any help or suggestions! (function($) { //Attach this new method to jQuery $.fn.autoCompleteEx = function(options) { //Merge Given Options W/ Defaults, But Don't Alter Either var opts = $.extend({}, $.fn.autoCompleteEx.defaults, options); //Iterate over the current set of matched elements return this.each(function() { var acx = $(this); //Get JQuery Version Of Element (Should Be Div) //Give Div Correct Class & Add <ul> w/ input item to it acx.addClass("autoCompleteEx"); acx.html("<ul><li class=\"input\"><input type=\"text\"/></li></ul>"); //Grab Input As JQ Object var input = $("input", acx); //Wireup Div acx.click(function() { input.focus().val( input.val() ); }); //Wireup Input input.keydown(function(e) { var kc = e.keyCode; if(kc == 13) //Enter { } else if(kc == 27) //Esc { } else { //Resize TextArea To Input var width = 50 + (_txtArea.val().length*10); _txtArea.css("width", width+"px"); } }); }); //End Each JQ Element }; //End autoCompleteEx() //Private Functions function junk() { }; //Public Functions $.fn.autoCompleteEx.addItem = function(id,txt) { var x = this; var y = 0; }; //Default Settings $.fn.autoCompleteEx.defaults = { minChars: 2, delay: 300, maxItems: 1 }; //End Of Closure })(jQuery);

  • How do we, as a community, help encourage programming in public schools? (Or state Schools for the U

    - by NoMoreZealots
    PRIMARY MOTIVATION My office gets involved with the "First Robotics" competitions and one thing that lingers year to year is the students typically have no preparation for doing even simple programming as part of the public schools system. While the science classes provide some basic grasp of mechanical and electrical concepts, by in large computer programming gets no coverage from the curriculum. (This my be different in other areas of the country/world.) What makes it worse is there is only a short period of time you have to prepare the student's and help them design the robot. Talking to some professors from local colleges, it's a problem because you can't assume even the most basic understanding for freshman CS majors. Languages like Python, Lua and BASIC are simple enough for at least high school level students, if not younger. SCOPE So how do you get public schools to support a programming, at least to the level of "Try it in BASIC" examples that used to be at the end of a chapter in my Algebra book? At least enough to prepare them for event's such as the FIRST Robotic competitions. Which the primary objectives are to teach problem solving and team work, and to possible foster an interest in Math, Science and Engineering in general. (Not force feed to them, as some people her seem to be implying.) Edit: Why teach kids: (Since 2000 CS enrollment in US colleges has decreased by 70% while college enrollment has increased, this is a PROBLEM.) Saying there is no value in teaching someone programming in Jr./High school because they might think "they know programming." Is like saying there's no value in teaching High school science and physics, because they might decide they "know physics." Leading to abuse like: "I passed a high school physics class, I'm going to develop a Unified Quantum Gravitational Theory." Better Prepared students are better students. Instead it would allows college programs to raise the bar on the entry level courses, allowing students to be weeded out based on their understanding of more advanced material. Plus people who did poorly in that in topic in High school aren't as likely to say "I think there's money in computer's so I'll computer science." Plus if people take it in high school and decide THEN that it's not for them, it's better than them wasting their money to PAY a college to figure that out. The result is that people who take the degree are more likely to succeed and be there for the RIGHT reasons. (i.e. It's what they REALLY want to do. And that's REALLY the key to being good at anything.) Programming is like anything else, the more practice and genuine interest you have the better you get. If you start them later, they get less practice. The earlier give them the opportunity to start, the more practice they will get. All other things equal, the more practice the better the programmer.

  • ssh-rsa public key validation using a regular expression.

    - by Warlax
    What regular expression can I use (if any) to validate that a given string is a legal ssh rsa public key? I only need to validate the actual key - I don't care about the key type the precedes it or the username comment after it. Ideally, someone will also provide the python code to run the regex validation. Thanks.

  • What is the proper way to credit public code snippets?

    - by Babiker
    This question might not be a programming problem, but its been bothering me. There is a lot of free js/css scripts out there for public use. I some times use these scripts. If any, what is the formal and proper way to credit these snippets when all i have is a name of a website and a url. I understand that a simple comment might get the job done but i wanted to know whether there is a more professional way.

  • Can I view a list of public variables of some Adobe Air app or web flash file from another app?

    - by Parris
    I was thinking about creating making AIM pluggin that checks pandora one (desktop) or pandora website periodically to see what is currently playing and update a user's status. I suppose the main question is there a clever way to access a "public" variable from some open Adobe Air process? I KNOW this sounds like some crazy security flaw, but it may also be a feature. I am pretty sure javascript can potentially handle it. Thanks!

  • What is the difference between a private and public funtion?

    - by Kyle
    I am a new programmer, and I started in C and am now starting to enjoy JavaScript and a tiny bit of PHP more. Lately I've heard the terms 'private' and 'public' functions a lot. Could anybody give an explanation of the both and how they are of use to a programmer? And I'm probably totally wrong here... but is a (function(){}) in javascript a private function?
