  • JSF vs Stripes, which is best?

    - by Davoink
    Which is best, or in other words, whish is easiest to use? Stripes or JSF. Although I haven't used both in anger I need to gauge what is the best option to work with for both starting new projects and converting existing Struts projects. I have a fear that JSF won't render as nicely as I want but what are others experiences? Seems Stripes is far more straight forward, would I be correct in this assumption? Cheers.

  • VS 2008 debugger displays integers in hex

    - by Assaf
    Hi Guys, For some reason my Visual Studio debugger has started to show me my integers in Hex. I am programming ASP.net using C#. Does anyone have an idea how can I convince the debugger to display integers in decimal again? Thanks a lot, Assaf.

  • Windows batch files: .bat vs .cmd?

    - by Chris Noe
    As I understand it, .bat is the old 16-bit naming convention, and .cmd is for 32-bit Windows, i.e., starting with NT. But I continue to see .bat files everywhere, and they seem to work exactly the same using either suffix. Assuming that my code will never need to run on anyhting older than NT, does it really matter which way I name my batch files, or is there some gotcha awaiting me by using the wrong suffix?

  • wpf: usercontrol vs. customcontrol performance issue

    - by viky
    Which one is better from performance view user control or custom control? Right now I am using user control and In a specific scenario, I am creating around 200(approx.) different instances of this control but it is bit slow while loading and I need to wait atlest 20-30 second to complete the operation. What should I do to increase the performance?

  • ASP.NET 2.0 RijndaelManaged encryption algorithm vs. FIPS

    - by R Rush
    I'm running into an issue with an ASP.NET 2.0 application. Our network folks just upped our security, and now I get the floowing error whenever I try to access the app: "This implementation is not part of the Windows Platform FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms." I've done a little research, and it sounds like ASP.NET uses the RijndaelManaged AES encryption algorithm to encrypt the ViewState of pages... and RijndaelManaged is on the list of algorithms that aren't FIPS compliant. We're certainly not explicitly calling any encryption algorithm... much less anything on the non-compliant list. This ViewState business makes sense to me, I guess. The thing I can't muddle out, though, is what to do about it. I've found a KB article that suggests using a web.config setting to specify a different algorithm... but either that didn't stick, or that algorithm isn't up to snuff, either. So: 1) Is the RijndaelManaged / ViewState thing actually the problem? Or am I barking up the wrong tree? 2) How to I specify what algorithm to use instead of RijndaelManaged? I've got a list of algorithms that are and aren't compliant; I'm just not sure where to plug that information in. Thanks! Richard

  • zen of Python vs with statement - philosophical pondering

    - by NeuronQ
    I don't intend to simply waste your time, but: has it occurred to you too, while using Python's with statement that it really is contrary to the 5th line of "The Zen of Python" that goes "Flat is better than nested"? Can any enlightened Python guru share me some of their insights on this? (I always find that one more level of indentation pops up in my code every time I use with instead of f.close()... and it's not like I'm not gonna use try: ... finally: ... anyways and thus the benefits of with still elude me, even as I grow to like and understand Python more and more...)

  • TextRenderer.DrawText renders Arial differently on XP vs Vista

    - by Michael
    I have a c# application that does text rendering, something on par with a simple wysiwyg text editor. I'm using TextRenderer.DrawText to render the text to the screen and GetTextExtentPoint32 to measure text so I can position different font styles/sizes on the same line. In Vista this all works fine. In XP however, Arial renders differently, certain characters like 'o' and 'b' take up more width than in Vista. GetTextExtentPoint32 seems to be measuring the string as it would in Vista though, with the smaller widths. The end result is that every now and then a run of text will overlap the text preceding it because the preceding text gets measured as smaller than it actually is on the screen. Also, my text rendering code mimics ie's text rendering exactly (for simple formatting and english language only) and ie text rendering seems to be consistent between vista and xp - that's how I noticed the change in size of the different characters. Anyone have any ideas about what's going on? In short, TextRenderer.DrawText and GetTextExtentPoint32 don't match up in xp for Arial. DrawText seems to draw certain characters larger and/or smaller than it does in Vista but GetTextExtentPoint32 seems to be measuring the text as it would in Vista (which seems to match the text rendering in ie on both xp and vista). Hope that makes sense. Note: unfortunately TextRenderer.MeasureString isn't fast or accurate enough to meet my requirements. I tried using it and had to rip it out.

  • Direct invocation vs indirect invocation in C

    - by Mohit Deshpande
    I am new to C and I was reading about how pointers "point" to the address of another variable. So I have tried indirect invocation and direct invocation and received the same results (as any C/C++ developer could have predicted). This is what I did: int cost; int *cost_ptr; int main() { cost_ptr = &cost; //assign pointer to cost cost = 100; //intialize cost with a value printf("\nDirect Access: %d", cost); cost = 0; //reset the value *cost_ptr = 100; printf("\nIndirect Access: %d", *cost_ptr); //some code here return 0; //1 } So I am wondering if indirect invocation with pointers has any advantages over direct invocation or vice-versa. Some advantages/disadvantages could include speed, amount of memory consumed performing the operation (most likely the same but I just wanted to put that out there), safeness (like dangling pointers) , good programming practice, etc. 1Funny thing, I am using the GNU C Compiler (gcc) and it still compiles without the return statement and everything is as expected. Maybe because the C++ compiler will automatically insert the return statement if you forget.

  • JAVA vs .NET - Choice for way to go further [closed]

    - by Sarang
    I have my subject .Net acedemically. I also learned core Java and did a project as well. I took training from a Java firm. Now, as a skill I do have knowledge as both language. But, it is creating a large problem to me that, which field I should chhose? Even if having better OOP fundamentals, will it be easier for me to transfer from one to another in the future ? Please suggest me a way. Also, we do have may technologies available at both side, like JSP, JSF, J2ME, Share Point, SilverLight etc. Which is better as per their reliabity point of view? Which are fast growing and useful technologies used mostly in current IT corporate world ? Are they easier to learn at fresher's point of view? Please answer. Perhaps, this answer may help me mostly to create my way to learn them and go further. Every IT developer, please help to find me my way.

  • Emma - Block Coverage vs Line Coverage

    - by MasterGaurav
    I have a strange scenario... while doing a EMMA coverage for UT, I get the total block coverage size more than line coverage size. For block coverage, the total size is some 50,000 while the line coverage is out of 18,000. I get (block-coverage-value) / 50,000 and (line-coverage-value) / 18,000 in the report. Is it possible? How can the number of blocks be more than the number of lines in code? btw, you can assume that I know what Block Coverage is: http://emma.sourceforge.net/faq.html#q.blockcoverage

  • Floating point vs integer calculations on modern hardware

    - by maxpenguin
    I am doing some performance critical work in C++, and we are currently using integer calculations for problems that are inherently floating point because "its faster". This causes a whole lot of annoying problems and adds a lot of annoying code. Now, I remember reading about how floating point calculations were so slow approximately circa the 386 days, where I believe (IIRC) that there was an optional co-proccessor. But surely nowadays with exponentially more complex and powerful CPUs it makes no difference in "speed" if doing floating point or integer calculation? Especially since the actual calculation time is tiny compared to something like causing a pipeline stall or fetching something from main memory? I know the correct answer is to benchmark on the target hardware, what would be a good way to test this? I wrote two tiny C++ programs and compared their run time with "time" on Linux, but the actual run time is too variable (doesn't help I am running on a virtual server). Short of spending my entire day running hundreds of benchmarks, making graphs etc. is there something I can do to get a reasonable test of the relative speed? Any ideas or thoughts? Am I completely wrong? The programs I used as follows, they are not identical by any means: #include <iostream> #include <cmath> #include <cstdlib> #include <time.h> int main( int argc, char** argv ) { int accum = 0; srand( time( NULL ) ); for( unsigned int i = 0; i < 100000000; ++i ) { accum += rand( ) % 365; } std::cout << accum << std::endl; return 0; } Program 2: #include <iostream> #include <cmath> #include <cstdlib> #include <time.h> int main( int argc, char** argv ) { float accum = 0; srand( time( NULL ) ); for( unsigned int i = 0; i < 100000000; ++i ) { accum += (float)( rand( ) % 365 ); } std::cout << accum << std::endl; return 0; } Thanks in advance!

  • WP: AesManaged encryption vs. mcrypt_encrypt

    - by invalidusername
    I'm trying to synchronize my encryption and decryption methods between C# and PHP but something seems to be going wrong. In the Windows Phone 7 SDK you can use AESManaged to encrypt your data I use the following method: public static string EncryptA(string dataToEncrypt, string password, string salt) { AesManaged aes = null; MemoryStream memoryStream = null; CryptoStream cryptoStream = null; try { //Generate a Key based on a Password, Salt and HMACSHA1 pseudo-random number generator Rfc2898DeriveBytes rfc2898 = new Rfc2898DeriveBytes(password, Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(salt)); //Create AES algorithm with 256 bit key and 128-bit block size aes = new AesManaged(); aes.Key = rfc2898.GetBytes(aes.KeySize / 8); aes.IV = new byte[] { 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 }; // rfc2898.GetBytes(aes.BlockSize / 8); // to check my results against those of PHP var blaat1 = Convert.ToBase64String(aes.Key); var blaat2 = Convert.ToBase64String(aes.IV); //Create Memory and Crypto Streams memoryStream = new MemoryStream(); cryptoStream = new CryptoStream(memoryStream, aes.CreateEncryptor(), CryptoStreamMode.Write); //Encrypt Data byte[] data = Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(dataToEncrypt); cryptoStream.Write(data, 0, data.Length); cryptoStream.FlushFinalBlock(); //Return Base 64 String string result = Convert.ToBase64String(memoryStream.ToArray()); return result; } finally { if (cryptoStream != null) cryptoStream.Close(); if (memoryStream != null) memoryStream.Close(); if (aes != null) aes.Clear(); } } I solved the problem of generating the Key. The Key and IV are similar as those on the PHP end. But then the final step in the encryption is going wrong. here is my PHP code <?php function pbkdf2($p, $s, $c, $dk_len, $algo = 'sha1') { // experimentally determine h_len for the algorithm in question static $lengths; if (!isset($lengths[$algo])) { $lengths[$algo] = strlen(hash($algo, null, true)); } $h_len = $lengths[$algo]; if ($dk_len > (pow(2, 32) - 1) * $h_len) { return false; // derived key is too long } else { $l = ceil($dk_len / $h_len); // number of derived key blocks to compute $t = null; for ($i = 1; $i <= $l; $i++) { $f = $u = hash_hmac($algo, $s . pack('N', $i), $p, true); // first iterate for ($j = 1; $j < $c; $j++) { $f ^= ($u = hash_hmac($algo, $u, $p, true)); // xor each iterate } $t .= $f; // concatenate blocks of the derived key } return substr($t, 0, $dk_len); // return the derived key of correct length } } $password = 'test'; $salt = 'saltsalt'; $text = "texttoencrypt"; #$iv_size = mcrypt_get_iv_size(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_128, MCRYPT_MODE_CBC); #echo $iv_size . '<br/>'; #$iv = mcrypt_create_iv($iv_size, MCRYPT_RAND); #print_r (mcrypt_list_algorithms()); $iv = "\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00"; $key = pbkdf2($password, $salt, 1000, 32); echo 'key: ' . base64_encode($key) . '<br/>'; echo 'iv: ' . base64_encode($iv) . '<br/>'; echo '<br/><br/>'; function addpadding($string, $blocksize = 32){ $len = strlen($string); $pad = $blocksize - ($len % $blocksize); $string .= str_repeat(chr($pad), $pad); return $string; } echo 'text: ' . $text . '<br/>'; echo 'text: ' . addpadding($text) . '<br/>'; // -- works till here $crypttext = mcrypt_encrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, $key, $text, MCRYPT_MODE_CBC, $iv); echo '1.' . $crypttext . '<br/>'; $crypttext = base64_encode($crypttext); echo '2.' . $crypttext . '<br/>'; $crypttext = mcrypt_encrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, $key, addpadding($text), MCRYPT_MODE_CBC, $iv); echo '1.' . $crypttext . '<br/>'; $crypttext = base64_encode($crypttext); echo '2.' . $crypttext . '<br/>'; ?> So to point out, the Key and IV look similar on both .NET and PHP, but something seems to be going wrong in the final call when executing mcrypt_encrypt(). The end result, the encrypted string, differs from .NET. Can anybody tell me what i'm doing wrong. As far as i can see everything should be correct. Thank you! EDIT: Additional information on the AESManaged object in .NET Keysize = 256 Mode = CBC Padding = PKCS7

  • Where can I get VS code snippets?

    - by mafutrct
    Apparently there are many questions that deal with how to store code snippets for Visual Studio, but I did not find one that contains links. So, is there a website that offers useful snippets? My google-fu only brought up many false positives or broken sites.

  • Application Architect vs. Systems Architect vs. Enterprise Architect?

    - by iaman00b
    So many buzzwords. Not sure if I need to start playing BS Bingo or not. And I'm not trying to be cynical. But I've heard many people with these various titles. There never seems to be a clear delineation between the three. Or there's a lot of domain crossover between the three. Actually, another I've seen while looking around here on Stackoverflow has been "Solutions Architect" as well. But that one doesn't seem to be so prevalent in other places. There are questions here and there with vague answers. But I'd like definative answers to this. Please assume I'm still relatively new to software stuff and that I'm trying to map out a career path. Oh, and please be gentle folks; this most definitely is not a duplicate question. Neither is it an aggregate. So kindly leave it alone. Xp

  • ImageMagick vs. Cairo on Vector Graphics rasterization

    - by Sherwood Hu
    I am working on a project that needs rasterizing of drawings into image files. I have already got it work using GDI+. Wanting to create a portable solution, I am also looking into other solutions and found two - cairo and imagemagick. I am new to both, but it seems that ImageMagick can do almost all the stuff - drawing lines, arcs, circles, text etc.. plus many bitmap manipulation. However, Cairo is mentioned as competitor to GDI+ in web sites. ImageMagick is never mentioned for this purpose. I do not have time to invest on both libraries. I need to decide which one is worthy. I prefer to ImageMagick, as it seems much more powerful. What's your opinion on the two graphic libs?

  • Database Design Primay Key, ID vs String

    - by LnDCobra
    Hi, I am currently planning to develop a music streaming application. And i am wondering what would be better as a primary key in my tables on the server. An ID int or a Unique String. Methods 1: Songs Table: SongID(int), Title(string), Artist*(string), Length(int), Album*(string) Genre Table Genre(string), Name(string) SongGenre: SongID*(int), Genre*(string) Method 2 Songs Table: SongID(int), Title(string), ArtistID*(int), Length(int), AlbumID*(int) Genre Table GenreID(int), Name(string) SongGenre: SongID*(int), GenreID*(int) Key: Bold = Primary Key, Field* = Foreign Key I'm currently designing using method 2 as I believe it will speed up lookup performance and use less space as an int takes a lot less space then a string. Is there any reason this isn't a good idea? Is there anything I should be aware of?

  • image archive VS image strip

    - by DevA
    Hi, i've noticed that plenty of games / applications (very common on mobile builds) pack numerous images into an image strip. I figured that the advantages in this are making the program more tidy (file system - wise) and reducing (un)installation time. During the runtime of the application, the entire image strip is allocated and copied from FS to RAM. On the contrary, images can be stored in an image archive and unpacked during runtime to a number of image structures in RAM. The way I see it, the image strip approach is less efficient because of worse caching performance and because that even if the optimal rectangle packing algorithm is used, there will be empty spaces between the stored images in the strip, causing a waste of RAM. What are the advantages in using an image strip over using an image archive file?
