  • Asynchronous vs Synchronous vs Threading in an iPhone App

    - by Coocoo4Cocoa
    I'm in the design stage for an app which will utilize a REST web service and sort of have a dilemma in as far as using asynchronous vs synchronous vs threading. Here's the scenario. Say you have three options to drill down into, each one having its own REST-based resource. I can either lazily load each one with a synchronous request, but that'll block the UI and prevent the user from hitting a back navigation button while data is retrieved. This case applies almost anywhere except for when your application requires a login screen. I can't see any reason to use synchronous HTTP requests vs asynchronous because of that reason alone. The only time it makes sense is to have a worker thread make your synchronous request, and notify the main thread when the request is done. This will prevent the block. The question then is bench marking your code and seeing which has more overhead, a threaded synchronous request or an asynchronous request. The problem with asynchronous requests is you need to either setup a smart notification or delegate system as you can have multiple requests for multiple resources happening at any given time. The other problem with them is if I have a class, say a singleton which is handling all of my data, I can't use asynchronous requests in a getter method. Meaning the following won't go: - (NSArray *)users { if(users == nil) users = do_async_request // NO GOOD return users; } whereas the following: - (NSArray *)users { if(users == nil) users == do_sync_request // OK. return users; } You also might have priority. What I mean by priority is if you look at Apple's Mail application on the iPhone, you'll notice they first suck down your entire POP/IMAP tree before making a second request to retrieve the first 2 lines (the default) of your message. I suppose my question to you experts is this. When are you using asynchronous, synchronous, threads -- and when are you using either async/sync in a thread? What kind of delegation system do you have setup to know what to do when a async request completes? Are you prioritizing your async requests? There's a gamut of solutions to this all too common problem. It's simple to hack something out. The problem is, I don't want to hack and I want to have something that's simple and easy to maintain.

  • ASP.NET Web Service - how to handle special characters in strings?

    - by Vlorg
    To show this fundamental issue in .NET and the reason for this question, I have written a simple test web service with one method (EditString), and a consumer console app that calls it. They are both standard web service/console applications created via File/New Project, etc., so I won't list the whole code - just the methods in question: Web method: [WebMethod] public string EditString(string s, bool useSpecial) { return s + (useSpecial ? ((char)19).ToString() : ""); } [You can see it simply returns the string s if useSpecial is false. If useSpecial is true, it returns s + char 19.] Console app: TestService.Service1 service = new SCTestConsumer.TestService.Service1(); string response1 = service.EditString("hello", false); Console.WriteLine(response1); string response2 = service.EditString("hello", true); // fails! Console.WriteLine(response2); [The second response fails, because the method returns hello + a special character (ascii code 19 for argument's sake).] The error is: There is an error in XML document (1, 287) Inner exception: "'', hexadecimal value 0x13, is an invalid character. Line 1, position 287." A few points worth mentioning: The web method itself WORKS FINE when browsing directly to the ASMX file (e.g. http://localhost:2065/service1.asmx), and running the method through this (with the same parameters as in the console application) - i.e. displays XML with the string hello + char 19. Checking the serialized XML in other ways shows the special character is being encoded properly (the SERVER SIDE seems to be ok which is GOOD) So it seems the CLIENT SIDE has the issue - i.e. the .NET generated proxy class code doesn't handle special characters This is part of a bigger project where objects are passed in and out of the web methods - that contain string attributes - these are what need to work properly. i.e. we're de/serializing classes. Any suggestions for a workaround and how to implement it? Or have I completely missed something really obvious!!? Thanks in advance... PS. I've not had much luck with getting it to use CDATA tags (does .NET support these out of the box?).

  • User controls & Composite web server controls

    - by Shekhar_Pro
    Well Its both a poll and a question. Which approach should i prefer when it comes to writing a custom control in ASP.Net. Should i create a custom User control or should I create a Composite Web Server control. And how about adding a Designer support to the composite control. How are they different from each other and their Pros and Cons. Differentiating with an example of each will be preferable.

  • load Javascript object from file

    - by megapool020
    Hi there, I asked a question in this thread Stackoverflow, and it works perfect. So tnx to all the users who gave me a reply. But now I have a other question. I would like to have the object in a seperate file, so I only need to update the file in stead of the JS file (otherwise it will be very big). I'm using JQUERY. I now looks like this (with all the info in the JS file). IBANInfo is used to fill a selectbox var IBANInfo = { "ccAL":{ countryCode:"AL", countryName:"Albani&euml;", IBANlength:"28", bankFormCode:"0 8n 0 ", accountNum:"0 16 0 " }, "ccAD":{ countryCode:"AD", countryName:"Andorra", IBANlength:"24", bankFormCode:"0 4n 4n", accountNum:"0 12 0 " }, "ccBE":{ countryCode:"BE", countryName:"Belgi&euml;", IBANlength:"16", bankFormCode:"0 3n 0 ", accountNum:"0 7n 2n" } }; //---- then this function is used to build the selectList function createSelect(){ var selectList = ''; var key; selectList += "<option value=''>Kies een land</option>\n"; for (key in IBANInfo) { if (IBANInfo.hasOwnProperty(key)) { var countryInfo = IBANInfo[key]; selectList += "<option value='"+countryInfo.countryCode+"'>"+countryInfo.countryName+"</option>\n"; } } $('#selectBox').html(selectList); } I thought I could do it like this, but I get the message undefined in my selectbox. var IBANInfo = $.get('include/countryCodes.txt'); // also tried var IBANInfo = $.getJSON('include/countryCodes.txt'); //---- then this function is used to build the selectList function createSelect(){ var selectList = ''; var key; selectList += "<option value=''>Kies een land</option>\n"; for (key in IBANInfo) { if (IBANInfo.hasOwnProperty(key)) { var countryInfo = IBANInfo[key]; selectList += "<option value='"+countryInfo.countryCode+"'>"+countryInfo.countryName+"</option>\n"; } } $('#selectBox').html(selectList); } /* the countryCodes.txt file is like this: { "ccAL":{ countryCode:"AL", countryName:"Albani&euml;", IBANlength:"28", bankFormCode:"0 8n 0 ", accountNum:"0 16 0 " }, "ccAD":{ countryCode:"AD", countryName:"Andorra", IBANlength:"24", bankFormCode:"0 4n 4n", accountNum:"0 12 0 " }, "ccBE":{ countryCode:"BE", countryName:"Belgi&euml;", IBANlength:"16", bankFormCode:"0 3n 0 ", accountNum:"0 7n 2n" } } */ What am I doing wrong. Tnx in advance

  • Modeling a cellphone bill: should I use single-table inheritance or polymorphic associations?

    - by Horace Loeb
    In my domain: Users have many Bills Bills have many BillItems (and therefore Users have many BillItems through Bills) Every BillItem is one of: Call SMS (text message) MMS (multimedia message) Data Here are the properties of each individual BillItem (some are common): My question is whether I should model this arrangement with single-table inheritance (i.e., one "bill_items" table with a "type" column) or polymorphism (separate tables for each BillItem type), and why.

  • client-side synchronous service invocation

    - by qkrsppopcmpt
    I am talking about synchronous on the client side. That means, the service requester is blocking after sending a message to the service. my question is: is it related to the -a -s parameter of wsdl2java tool, Since -a generate async style code and -s generate sync style code. Or the client side blocking or not is totally controlled by the client logic? Thanks

  • Need to check uptime on a large file being hosted

    - by trustfundbaby
    I have a dynamically generated rss feed that is about 150M in size (don't ask) The problem is that it keeps crapping out sporadically and there is no way to monitor it without downloading the entire feed to get a 200 status. Pingdom times out on it and returns a 'down' error. So my question is, how do I check that this thing is up and running

  • Is daisy chaining xslt an accepted practice?

    - by Stephen
    I have a situation where I think I need to daisy chain my xslt transformation (i.e. that output of one xslt transform being input into another). The first transform is rather complex with lots of xsl:choice and ancestor xpaths. My thought is to transform the xml into xml that can then be easily transformed to html. My question is 'Is this standard practice or am I missing something?' Thanks in advance. Stephen

  • Why not use Git?

    - by Tom R
    A lot of people like git (in particular this guy) against other SCMs such as SVN, but many projects, even new ones, are set up using alternative SCMs. Furthermore, Google Code still does not support it (although many of their large open source projects use it). My question is: what are the reasons for not using git in any project, whether it be personal or collaborative? Maybe I've just been brainwashed by this guy, but I can't see any area in which other SCMs excel over git.

  • Automatically charge PayPal account?

    - by Mark
    I'd like to automatically charge my members a variable amount of money based on the services they use on my website. They would accumulate a balance owing, and then every week they would be charged for that amount. Is there a way I can do this without having to store their credit card information in my database? (Similar to my last question, but I just realized I don't really want to go through the headaches and liability issues of having to safely store CC info)

  • Simple caching mechanism in ASP.NET

    - by DotnetDude
    I had asked a question on how to implement real time updates in ASP.NET and received a very explanatory and a helpful answer from "jdk" at: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2347771/how-to-implement-real-time-updates-in-asp-net I understand that memcached or .net caching application block can be used as the caching layer. Currently, I am looking for a very simple mechanism to implement this and do not have the resources for using memcached or the caching application block. Can someone suggest a solution?

  • String.Format an integer to use 1000's separator without leading 0 for small integers

    - by Kragen
    Silly question, I want to format an integer so that it appears with the 1000's separator (,), but also without decimal places and without a leading 0. My attempts so far have been: String.Format("{0} {1}", 5, 5000); // 5 5000 String.Format("{0:n} {1:n}", 5, 5000); // 5.00 5,000.00 String.Format("{0:0,0} {1:0,0}", 5, 5000); // 05 5,000 The output I'm after is: 5 5,000 Is there something obvious that I'm missing?

  • Java - Common Gotchas

    - by Alan
    In the same spirit of other platforms, it seemed logical to follow up with this question: What are common non-obvious mistakes in Java? Things that seem like they ought to work, but don't. I won't give guidelines as to how to structure answers, or what's "too easy" to be considered a gotcha, since that's what the voting is for. See also: Perl - Common gotchas .NET - Common gotchas

  • Convert .Net Color Objects to HEX codes and Back

    - by Damien
    As per the question title, How could I take a hex code and convert it to a .Net Color object, and do it the other way? I googled and keep getting the same way which doesn't work. ColorTranslator.ToHtml(renderedChart.ForeColor) Which returns the name of the color as in 'White' instead of '#ffffff'! Doing it the other way seems to have odd results, only working some of the time...

  • ASP.NET AJAX Partial Rendering

    - by AJ
    Hello, I have a question about how ASP.NET AJAX partial rendering actually works. Does it: 1) Renders the whole page on the server, transmits the whole page to the client, the client then merges just the area contained in the update panel. 2) Renders the whole page on the server, transmits and merges just the area contained by the update panel. 3) Renders, transmits and merges just the area contained by the update panel. Thanks, AJ
