It's really tough, which algorithm did you use to encrypt?

Validating a property on Set

My ability to google and comprehend things today appears to be not what it should - I've been up since 4am so go easy on me Smile | :)

Anyway, suppose I have a very simple class with a single property:

public string SiteName { 
       get{return siteName;} 
       set{siteName = value;} 
}

Now SiteName has some very specific format requirements (ie not longer than 12 characters, first 4 chars are alpha only for example). Within the setter I can do some validation with a regex or whatever, and for validating this single property everything is great. It also seems to make sense to me that this is where the validation should take place.

However, it occurs to me that I might want to do a similar kind of validation on another property, perhaps even within in a separate class - or even multiple classes, and could get very messy with the same (or very similar) logic appearing all over the place. This looks to me like an ideal candidate for re-factoring... and this is where my googling has come unstuck!

What I'm really after is an insight on to tried an trusted techniques for validating properties, and also whether my intent is actually going to cause bigger problems than they're worth. I had a quick read about Custom Attributes, but I was not particularly clear on how to hook these up to know when a property is being modified, or how they interact with the property in question...

As always, any help greatly appreciated.

Martin - take a look at using INotifyPropertyChanged and something like this[^] article.

From the article: "Take note – in the screens above, the code that triggers the error to be shown is in the business object, not in the GUI. I didn't have to write a single line of GUI code – it's already done by data binding and IDataErrorInfo."

Today's epiphany sorted Smile | :)

Yup - binding's so cool - and so bloody useful.

handle javaScript errors ?

ou install the utility and navigate to any url in CP from where you can post a message, the signature field is automatically filled with one of the quotes from an XML file. All you need to do is to write some quotes in an XML file either manually or using the CodePr

You might have better luck posting this in either the Web Development or ASP.NET forums.

No worries. The best thing to do is decide which forum you want to post in, create the new post in that forum, and then modify your original post to include a link to the new one.

Hi,

I am trying to publish the web service. I created a new web service in VS2005, by default it has one web method HelloWorld, that returns a string. If I run the web service, and then try to add the web reference from windows application, by using http://localhost:2205/etc... Everything works fine.

Now, If I create a virtual directory in IIS, and then use the Publish Web Service option from VS2005, now by trying even to open the web in the browser gives me the error. This is the path that I put into the browser window: http://my_pc_name/ISS_Virtual_Folder_Name/Service_Name.asmx

Is there something that I am missing?

Thank you!

Ok Solved the problem.
Just in case if anyone will run into the same thing.

In command line navigate to C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727

and run: aspnet_regiis.exe -i

Is there a way to document overloaded methods

/// <summary>
/// Great big long multiline explanation of foo()
/// </summary>
public void foo() {...}

/// <summary>
/// same great big long explanation again
/// </summary>
/// <parm name="x">Put a number here</param>
public void foo(int x) {...}


/// <summary>
/// same great big long explanation yet again
/// </summary>
/// <parm name="x">Put a number here</param>
/// <parm name="y">Put a second number here</param>
public void foo(int x, int y) {...}
...

There has to be a better way...
anyone?

Whats wrong with that method

It shows up in intellisense. I suppose the only better way is to put it in the design document.

Well, not only does the current method mean having the same description entered over and over, but it is also prone to errors.

I have a number of these kind of functions where foo() and foo(int x) both end up calling foo(int x, int y). If I make a change to foo(int x, int y) and alter its documentation, I have to make sure that I go back and alter the documentation for the other two - which, sometimes I miss, or do incorrectly.

I was hoping for something more along the lines of

/// <summary>
/// Great big long multiline explanation of foo()
/// </summary>
public void foo() {...}

/// <summary autodoc=foo()/>
/// <parm name="x">Put a number here</param>
public void foo(int x) {...}


/// <summary autodoc=foo()/>
/// <parm name="x">Put a number here</param>
/// <parm name="y">Put a second number here</param>
public void foo(int x, int y) {...}
...

Something that would save typing the same function description over and over. And while I'm in pie-in-the-sky-land,

/// <summary autodoc=foo()>
/// but, unlike foo(), this method does not accept negative values.
/// </summary/>
/// <parm name="x">Put a number here</param>
/// <parm name="y">Put a second number here</param>
public void goo(int x, int y) {...}
...

Updating documentation is an expensive and time consuming process. Considering the bad results I have seen from automated tools causing developers to use inferred documentation I am a big fan of the manual process.

Also, in general, an overloaded method should do the same thing as all of the other methods but with different parameters. Causing special handling is asking for disaster.

I know this doesn't help you with the problem at hand, but I think you'll do just fine - you already use and think about documentation FAR more than most people I know. Smile | :)

NDoc supports an "<overloads>" XML comment, but I'm not sure if SandCastle also supports it. There really isn't any other way currently.
