  • What issues to consider when rolling your own data-backend for Silverlight / AJAX on non-ASP.NET ser

    - by Edward Tanguay
    I have read-only Silverlight and AJAX apps which read static text and XML files from a PHP/Apache server, which works very nicely with features such as asynchronous loading, lazy-loading only what I need for each page, loading in the background, developed a little query language to get a PHP script to create custom XML files etc. it's pragmatic read-only REST, and all works fast and fine for read-only sites. Now I want to also add the ability to write data from these apps to a database on the same PHP/Apache server. For those of you who have built similar data-access layers, what do I need to consider while building this, especially regarding security so that not just any client can write and alter my database, e.g.: check HTTP_USER_AGENT for security check REMOTE_ADDR for security require a special code for security, perhaps a list of TAN codes (such as banks use for online transactions) each which can only be used once, both the client and server have these I wonder if there is some kind of standard REST query I should lean on for e.g. building SQL-like statements in the URL parameters, e.g. http://www.thedatalayersite.com/query?insertinto=customers&... Any thoughts, notes from experience, ideas, gotchas, especially ideas on tightening down security in this endeavor would be helpful.

  • Why are events and commands in MVVM so unsupported by WPF / Visual Studio?

    - by Edward Tanguay
    When creating an WPF application with the MVVM pattern, it seems I have to gather the necessary tools myself to even begin the most rudimentary event handling, e.g. AttachedBehaviors I get from here DelegateCommands I get from here Now I'm looking for some way to handle the ItemSelected event in a ComboBox and am getting suggestions of tricks and workarounds to do this (using a XAML trigger or have other elements bound to the selected item, etc.). Ok, I can go down this road, but it seems to be reinventing the wheel. It would be nice to just have an ItemSelected command that I can handle in my ViewModel. Am I missing some set of standard tools or is everyone doing MVVM with WPF basically building and putting together their own collection of tools just so they can do the simplest plumbing tasks with events and commands, things that take only a couple lines in code-behind with a Click="eventHandler"?

  • Is this an example of LINQ-to-SQL?

    - by Edward Tanguay
    I made a little WPF application with a SQL CE database. I built the following code with LINQ to get data out of the database, which was surprisingly easy. So I thought "this must be LINQ-to-SQL". Then I did "add item" and added a "LINQ-to-SQL classes" .dbml file, dragged my table onto the Object Relational Designer but it said, "The selected object uses an unsupported data provider." So then I questioned whether or not the following code actually is LINQ-to-SQL, since it indeed allows me to access data from my SQL CE database file, yet officially "LINQ-to-SQL" seems to be unsupported for SQL CE. So is the following "LINQ-to-SQL" or not? using System.Linq; using System.Data.Linq; using System.Data.Linq.Mapping; using System.Windows; namespace TestLinq22 { public partial class Window1 : Window { public Window1() { InitializeComponent(); MainDB db = new MainDB(@"Data Source=App_Data\Main.sdf"); var customers = from c in db.Customers select new {c.FirstName, c.LastName}; TheListBox.ItemsSource = customers; } } [Database(Name = "MainDB")] public class MainDB : DataContext { public MainDB(string connection) : base(connection) { } public Table<Customers> Customers; } [Table(Name = "Customers")] public class Customers { [Column(DbType = "varchar(100)")] public string FirstName; [Column(DbType = "varchar(100)")] public string LastName; } }

  • What are the security implications of making a clientaccesspolicy proxy workaround?

    - by Edward Tanguay
    I wanted to use a published GoogleDocs document as the datasource of a Silverlight application but ran into clientaccesspolicy issues. I read many articles like this and this about how difficult it is to get around the clientaccesspolicy issue. So I wrote this 15-line CURL script and put it on my PHP site and now I can get the text of any GoogleDocs document and any text from any URL into my Silverlight application: <?php $url = filter_input(INPUT_GET, 'url',FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING); $user_agent = 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)'; $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, "/tmp/cookie"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "/tmp/cookie"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url ); // set url to post to curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, 1); // Fail on errors curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 0); // allow redirects curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1); // return into a variable curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 15); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $user_agent); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 0); echo curl_exec($ch); ?> So it makes me wonder: Why is there so much discussion about whether or not URLs support clientaccesspolicy or not, since you just have to write a simple proxy script and get the information through it? Why aren't there services, e.g. like the URL shortening services, which supply this functionality? What are the security implications of having a script like this?

  • How does WCF RIA Services handle authentication/authorization/security?

    - by Edward Tanguay
    Since no one answered this question: What issues to consider when rolling your own data-backend for Silverlight / AJAX on non-ASP.NET server? Let me ask it another way: How does WCF RIA Services handle authentication/authorization/security at a low level? e.g. how does the application on the server determine that the incoming http request to change data is coming from a valid client and not from non-desirable source, e.g. a denial-of-service bot?

  • How can I overlay one image onto another?

    - by Edward Tanguay
    I would like to display an image composed of two images. I want image rectangle.png to show with image sticker.png on top of it with its left-hand corner at pixel 10, 10. Here is as far as I got, but how do I combine the images? Image image = new Image(); image.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri(@"c:\test\rectangle.png")); image.Stretch = Stretch.None; image.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left; Image imageSticker = new Image(); imageSticker.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri(@"c:\test\sticker.png")); image.OverlayImage(imageSticker, 10, 10); //how to do this? TheContent.Content = image;

  • Making sure a web page is not cached, across all browsers.

    - by Edward Wilde
    Our investigations have shown us that not all browsers respect the http cache directives in a uniform manner. For security reasons we do not want certain pages in our application to cached, ever, by the web browser. This must work for at least the following browsers: Internet Explorer versions 6-8 FireFox versions 1.5 - 3.0 Safari version 3 Opera 9 Our requirement came from a security test. After logging out from our website you could press the back button and view cached pages.

  • Looking for a .NET 3.5 / J2EE architecture concept comparison article/chart

    - by Edward Tanguay
    We are thinking about combining .NET technology with Java technology (WCF, JBoss/ESB, MOM, WPF, WF) and I need to have a high-level idea of what are the apples and oranges in the .NET 3.5 and Java worlds. Does anyone know of a good, clear article or better yet a simple chart which answers questions such as: WCF in the Java world is __ the equivalent of WPF in the Java world is _ the closes thing to JBoss in the .NET world is _ the JVM and CLR are essentially the same except for these differences: .... in the Java world you don't have the concept of WF/WCF/WPF, instead you have .... there is no "LINQ" in the Java world yet, but you can use ___ the closest you get to ADO.NET Data Services in the Java world is .... I'm not looking to debate this so I'm not looking for "fighting points", I just need a neutral what-is-what chart comparing the two worlds.

  • In MVVM should the ViewModel or Model implement INotifyPropertyChanged?

    - by Edward Tanguay
    Most MVVM examples I have worked through have had the Model implement INotifyPropertyChanged, but in Josh Smith's CommandSink example the ViewModel implements INotifyPropertyChanged. I'm still cognitively putting together the MVVM concepts, so I don't know if: you have to put the INotifyPropertyChanged in the ViewModel to get CommandSink to work this is just an aberration of the norm and it doesn't really matter you should always have the Model implement INotifyPropertyChanged and this is just a mistake which would be corrected if this were developed from a code example to an application What have been others' experiences on MVVM projects you have worked on?

  • Why is two-way binding in silverlight not working?

    - by Edward Tanguay
    According to how Silverlight TwoWay binding works, when I change the data in the FirstName field, it should change the value in CheckFirstName field. Why is this not the case? ANSWER: Thank you Jeff, that was it, for others: here is the full solution with downloadable code. XAML: <StackPanel> <Grid x:Name="GridCustomerDetails"> <Grid.RowDefinitions> <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/> <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/> <RowDefinition Height="*"/> </Grid.RowDefinitions> <Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/> <ColumnDefinition Width="300"/> </Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <TextBlock VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="10" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0">First Name:</TextBlock> <TextBox Margin="10" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1" Text="{Binding FirstName, Mode=TwoWay}"/> <TextBlock VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="10" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0">Last Name:</TextBlock> <TextBox Margin="10" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" Text="{Binding LastName}"/> <TextBlock VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="10" Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0">Address:</TextBlock> <TextBox Margin="10" Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="1" Text="{Binding Address}"/> </Grid> <Border Background="Tan" Margin="10"> <TextBlock x:Name="CheckFirstName"/> </Border> </StackPanel> Code behind: public Page() { InitializeComponent(); Customer customer = new Customer(); customer.FirstName = "Jim"; customer.LastName = "Taylor"; customer.Address = "72384 South Northern Blvd."; GridCustomerDetails.DataContext = customer; Customer customerOutput = (Customer)GridCustomerDetails.DataContext; CheckFirstName.Text = customer.FirstName; }

  • Is there anyway to reduce IsolatedStorage capacity in Silverlight?

    - by Edward Tanguay
    With this code I can have Silverlight ask the user if he wants to increase IsolatedStorage: private void Button_IncreaseIsolatedStorage_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { IsolatedStorageFile store = IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication(); long newStorageCapacityInBytes = FileHelpers.GetMaxiumumSpace() + SystemHelpers.GetAmountOfStorageToIncreaseWhenNeededInBytes(); store.IncreaseQuotaTo(newStorageCapacityInBytes); Message = "IsolatedStorage increased. " + FileHelpers.GetSpaceLeftMessage(); } But if I try to set it to an amount less than it current is, I get an error that this is not possible. 1. Is there a workaround for this, i.e. can I reduce the amount of IsolatedStorage? 2. When the user agrees to increasing IsolatedStorage, can other applications use this capacity or just the application in which he increased it?

  • Flex 3 / Air: Writing blank new lines to files using FileStream

    - by Edward
    I want to write some text directly to a file using Flex 3 / Air. The text on the file (call it "Database.txt") must have the following format: Line1 Line2 Line3 var FS:FileStream = new FileStream(); var DatabaseFile:File = File.desktopDirectory.resolvePath("Database.txt"); FS.open(DatabaseFile, FileMode.WRITE); FS.writeUTFBytes("Line1" + "\n" + "Line2" + "\n" + "Line3"); FS.close(); But it writes the following text to the file: Line1 Line2 Line3. I'm pretty sure I'm making a very dummy error, but I cannot figure out what it is. Can anyone help me? Thank you for your time :)

How can I define a Dictionary whose keys are case-insensitve?

  • How can I force PHP's fopen() to return the current version of a web page?

    - by Edward Tanguay
    The current content of this google docs page is: However, when reading this page with the following PHP fopen() script, I get an older, cached version: I've tried two solutions proposed in this question (a random attribute and using POST) and I also tried clearstatcache() but I always get the cached version of the web page. What do I have to change in the following script so that fopen() returns the current version of the web page? <?php $url = 'http://docs.google.com/View?id=dc7gj86r_32g68627ff&amp;rand=' . getRandomDigits(10); echo $url . '<hr/>'; echo loadFile($url); function loadFile($sFilename) { clearstatcache(); if (floatval(phpversion()) >= 4.3) { $sData = file_get_contents($sFilename); } else { if (!file_exists($sFilename)) return -3; $opts = array('http' => array( 'method' => 'POST', 'content'=>'' ) ); $context = stream_context_create($opts); $rHandle = fopen($sFilename, 'r'); if (!$rHandle) return -2; $sData = ''; while(!feof($rHandle)) $sData .= fread($rHandle, filesize($sFilename)); fclose($rHandle); } return $sData; } function getRandomDigits($numberOfDigits) { $r = ""; for($i=1; $i<=$numberOfDigits; $i++) { $nr=rand(0,9); $r .= $nr; } return $r; } ?>

  • Objects not loading on second request in Restkit

    - by Holger Edward Wardlow Sindbæk
    I'm sending off 2 requests simultaneously with Restkit and I receive a response back from both of them, but only one of the requests receives any objects. If I send them off one by one, then my objectloader receives all objects. First request: self.firstObjectManager = [RKObjectManager sharedManager]; [self.firstObjectManager loadObjectsAtResourcePath:[NSString stringWithFormat: @"/%@.json", subUrl] usingBlock:^(RKObjectLoader *loader){ [loader.mappingProvider setObjectMapping:designArrayMapping forKeyPath:@""]; loader.userData = @"design"; loader.delegate = self; [loader sendAsynchronously]; }]; Second request: self.secondObjectManager = [RKObjectManager sharedManager]; [self.secondObjectManager loadObjectsAtResourcePath:[NSString stringWithFormat: @"/%@.json", subUrl] usingBlock:^(RKObjectLoader *loader){ [loader.mappingProvider setObjectMapping:designerMapping forKeyPath:@""]; loader.userData = @"designer"; loader.delegate = self; [loader sendAsynchronously]; }]; My objecloader: -(void)objectLoader:(RKObjectLoader *)objectLoader didLoadObjects:(NSArray *)objects { //NSLog(@"This happened: %@", objectLoader.userData); if (objectLoader.userData == @"design") { NSLog(@"Design happened: %i", objects.count); }else if(objectLoader.userData == @"designer"){ NSLog(@"designer: %@", [objects objectAtIndex:0]); } } My response: 2012-11-18 14:36:19.607 RestKitTest5[14220:c07] Started loading of request: designer 2012-11-18 14:36:22.575 RestKitTest5[14220:c07] I restkit.network:RKRequest.m:680:-[RKRequest updateInternalCacheDate] Updating cache date for request <RKObjectLoader: 0x95c3160> to 2012-11-18 19:36:22 +0000 2012-11-18 14:36:22.576 RestKitTest5[14220:c07] response code: 200 2012-11-18 14:36:22.584 RestKitTest5[14220:c07] Design happened: 0 2012-11-18 14:36:22.603 RestKitTest5[14220:c07] I restkit.network:RKRequest.m:680:-[RKRequest updateInternalCacheDate] Updating cache date for request <RKObjectLoader: 0xa589b50> to 2012-11-18 19:36:22 +0000 2012-11-18 14:36:22.605 RestKitTest5[14220:c07] response code: 200 2012-11-18 14:36:22.606 RestKitTest5[14220:c07] designer: <DesignerData: 0xa269fc0> Update: Setting my base url RKURL *baseURL = [RKURL URLWithBaseURLString:@"http://iphone.meer.li"]; [RKObjectManager setSharedManager:[RKObjectManager managerWithBaseURL:baseURL]]; Solution Problem was that I used the shared manager for both object managers, so I ended up doing: RKURL *baseURL = [RKURL URLWithBaseURLString:@"http://iphone.meer.li"]; RKObjectManager *myObjectManager = [[RKObjectManager alloc] initWithBaseURL:baseURL]; self.firstObjectManager = myObjectManager; and: RKURL *baseURL = [RKURL URLWithBaseURLString:@"http://iphone.meer.li"]; RKObjectManager *myObjectManager = [[RKObjectManager alloc] initWithBaseURL:baseURL]; self.secondObjectManager = myObjectManager;

  • Is this GetEnumAsStrings<T>() method reinventing the wheel?

    - by Edward Tanguay
    I have a number of enums and need to get them as List<string> objects in order to enumerate through them and hence made the GetEnumAsStrings<T>() method. But it seems to me there would be an easier way. Is there not a built-in method to get an enum like this into a List<string>? using System; using System.Collections.Generic; namespace TestEnumForeach2312 { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { List<string> testModes = StringHelpers.GetEnumAsStrings<TestModes>(); testModes.ForEach(s => Console.WriteLine(s)); Console.ReadLine(); } } public static class StringHelpers { public static List<string> GetEnumAsStrings<T>() { List<string> enumNames = new List<string>(); foreach (T item in Enum.GetValues(typeof(TestModes))) { enumNames.Add(item.ToString()); } return enumNames; } } public enum TestModes { Test, Show, Wait, Stop } }

  • How can I get the plain-text content of a Google Doc via Google Doc API in Silverlight?

  • HTML, CSS, Javascript - Problem with hiding/showing elements

    - by Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusk
    I'm using the Blueprint CSS grid for my HTML page. I have a table which I want to show/hide - linking it to a button, using jQuery. The problem is that everytime I click on the button to show/hide the table, everything on the page shifts slightly left-right. Is this a common problem? Does anyone know what could be causing this and what I could do to fix the other elements of the page such that they do not move? Edit: grammar.

  • Why is Visual Studio 2008 slow with Firefox?

    - by Edward Tanguay
    I am using Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2008 Express. I've made an ASP.NET MVC site which has 6 CSS files and 6 Javascript files in the HEAD element in the Site.Master file. When I do F5 or CTRL-F5 in Explorer or Opera, the site displays instantly. When I run my site in Firefox, it takes a SECOND for each CSS and each Javascript file on LOCALHOST, i.e. 12 seconds to load on localhost. What might I be able to change in the Firefox settings so it is as fast as Opera and Explorer? NEW INFO: Uninstalled Firebug completely, no yslow, no other add-ons. When I take out the CSS and Javascript files, then Firefox is as fast as the other browsers. What could be taking it so long on a local connection?

  • An efficient code to determine if a set is a subset of another set

    - by Edward
    I am looking for an efficient way to determine if a set is a subset of another set in Matlab or Mathematica. Example: Set A = [1 2 3 4] Set B = [4 3] Set C = [3 4 1] Set D = [4 3 2 1] The output should be: Set A Sets B and C belong to set A because A contains all of their elements, therefore, they can be deleted (the order of elements in a set doesn't matter). Set D has the same elements as set A and since set A precedes set D, I would like to simply keep set A and delete set D. So there are two essential rules: 1. Delete a set if it is a subset of another set 2. Delete a set if its elements are the same as those of a preceding set My Matlab code is not very efficient at doing this - it mostly consists of nested loops. Suggestions are very welcome! Additional explanation: the issue is that with a large number of sets there will be a very large number of pairwise comparisons.
