Hi! I am renewing a program I made in a university-class in Java.
The program is a library system where you can save books as objects, customer as objects and then make a loan.
In the old program we saved to disc in a binary-file.
How would you do it in C#?
I also been thinking about LINQ (which I don´t know very much about), is that and alternative?
I final question is if It is a good design or if it would have been better to man a traditional relationship database with no objects.

The direct "translation" is .net serialization[^]. You don't need to use the binary formatter described, there is an XML one too (and a SOAP one, but the isn't useful in this context) or you could write your own. Note that it (the binary one) almost certainly won't deserialize the Java files properly.
Personally, I wouldn't store anything "complicted" (say with relations or mutliple rows) this way unless I had really good reasons to. You mention LINQ, "LINQ to SQL" and "Entity Framework" are good ways of persisting data and are similar to eachother. You should Google these. A third (non-Microsofty) option is NHibernate, it has similarities to the Entity Framework, but comes with the added advantage, from your point of view, that there is a Java Equivalent ("Hibernate") so by learning one, you learn the Java version (mod any documented differences).

If I understand you correctly, I'd always go for proper relational design, but that doesn't mean you lose good OO at all. The Entity Framework pretty much expects proper relational design (if you design the DB first, it creates well normalised Schema from an OO model if you start with the model first). NHibernate works better under a properly normalised DB too, but is more forgiving of mismatches between the OO and the DB. That said the same things that drive good OO desgin tend to drive DB schemas: A type is pretty much a table, a property to a simple type pretty much a field and a property to a custom class a relationship to another table. Many-to-One maps to a list property at one end and a single property at the other, Many-to-many has maps to lists at both ends.
My advice is to try Entity Framework, starting with the model. Some people have reported performance problems on large data sets, but you can pre-compile LINQ queries and even go the whole hog and use Stored Procs so the perforance is comparable with a little work and you gain more than you lose IMO.

Thanks!
The course we took in university was alot about OOP. So that was probably the reason we did it this way, to learn OOP.

Depends what you really mean.
If you really want to store a binary image of a book into a database then you have two choices
1. Store it as a blob
2. Store it as a file with a link reference in the database.
However if you want to store information about a book, then you should be using a relational database.

Hi. 
Yesterday I started a new project. It's about a bitmap checker which check if the bitmap it's modificated in photo editor or not. The funny problem is that my application doesn't recognize if a bitmap file is modificated in Paint, but it's recognize if a bitmap file is modificated in Gimp/Photoshop and other  .
Is a possible way do recognize a bitmap file modificated in Paint? How I can do that? Can you give me a clue? 
I want to specify that I check with the ExifInformation but it doesn't give me the information about de *.bmp files.
I tried with the length of image, but it doens't work because it have the same length with the original bitmap file.
I am sorry for my bad english.
Thank you in advance.

Create a hash of the contents of your original file and save this information. Then when you want to check it, hash the file again and compare the hashes.
|
|
|
|

I can do that if I have the both file and I check the both file . I want to check just with a single bitmap file and application to say if it's modificated in Paint or not. I am sorry because I wan't so precise  .
Thank you for response

You don't need to have a copy of the original to check it. All you need is to write the hash to a file. This is a common technique for scenarios where you want to identify if the file changed.
|
|
|
|
|
Sorry, I dont't get the point . To compare the hash of files you need 2 files .
Let's say that a friend give me a bitmap file to check if is modificated in paint or not . How I do that ? I can't compare the hashes because I have just a file .
|
|
|
|

Ahhh. I see what you are after here. Sadly for you, you're stuffed here. There's no way, given a single source file, for you to check if Paint modified the file.

How do you recognise these changes, and why can you not use the same test for MSPaint?
Binding 100,000 items to a list box can be just silly regardless of what pattern you are following. Jeremy Likness

I use Flags from Bitmap Properties, Image.Flags Property to recognize these changes , but on Paint doesn't work . My application detect these bmp modificated in Paint like unchanged/original.
Thank you for response

According to the links you provided above, the Flags field is of type System.Int32, and the PixelFormat value is an enumeration, so I do not see what the above test is based on, or how it works.

Simple answer; you can't.
I'm going to make it worse; if you claim that you app "detects" a modified bitmap, you'd be legitimizing a cheater. The cheater would simply take a hex-editor and change those flags, and you'd be standing there with the app that claims that it was "not modified".

I still haven't seen a smart cheater. Do you?
So, I can't see if the bitmap was modified in Paint ? Any solution?
Almost all the bitmap checker application / script I know doesn't recognize the bitmap which was modified in Paint.

I know quite some, but they don't play games anymore.

Depends on circumstances. Are all computers under you control? If so, create a small app that draws a red pixel in an unknown location - it should show up on every screenshot. (..and no, that's merely a bump, not a protection)
..or perhaps CS puts a watermark in it's screenshots. That would be neat, but I doubt that they do. Even if, wouldn't stop anybody from using the print-screen button.

Paint (or other apps) don't distinguish between an original file and a duplicate. As far as they're concerned, a bitmap is a description of colors and points, and it looks exactly the same in binary if it's a duplicate.

If Paint does not add some specific documented signature then you will not be able to.

Check the last modified date against the created date.

I though at last modified date, but isn't a perfect solution because the player can save the bitmap with the "Save as...", with the same format and name , then the last modified date it's the same with the time creation
@Eddy: No, the computers aren't under my control. The plugin for screenshot have some information like: the time when the admin take the player screenshot,the nickname of admin, nothing else...
Thank you both for your help.

The ONLY solution you have is to has the file when it's saved and keep that data in a seperate file. When the image is reloaded, hash the file again and compare to the original hash.
