Sure, in theory. In practice, I think it idiotic to write code like this
private int _myInt; // Oh, cool, look how OO my code is
public int MyInt
{
get...
set...
}
The net result is the same.
In this case though, it's not my intetion to make the variable public, I just don't want the property part of the code to be what notices that the value has changed.

So, you just want to add some protection from developers setting the variable without some other thing being triggered at the same time. And you can't necessarily do that with a member variable because, even if it is private or protected it is still accessible directly be code in the class (or, in the case of protected, but derived classes also).
You know, years ago I wanted to do the same thing because I didn't trust other developers to respect my code. In the end I just had to live with the idea that other developers tend to be reasonable sane people and if you comment the member variable telling people to access it trough the property (or some particular method) they will generally do that.
With XML comments it makes it easier because (when intellisense isn't broken) you can put in the <summary> tag some text that will appear in the tooltip so they know to use the property.

It is how the language works. Get over it.

That is not remotely part of my thought processes.

No, the language does NOT force the construct where a private variable can be got and set by a public dual property.

I know you can't force a private member variable to be accessed only through properties (public or otherwise) - Or have I misinterpreted something?

<quote>The example is over simplistic, making a property seem a viable solution, when it is not
I cant seem to imagine any situation where a property isn't a viable solution 
a get/set property is exactly what u ar looking for...an internal variable to which u can hook any validation/trigger when its value changes.

The issue is that I'm trying to create an OO solution in a way that doesn't use a property, so I can impliment a pattern without having to write a property, I can just add an attribute.

How would that work ? I create an attribute, and it's called in the base class when the value changes, how ?

CG, I think your best choice is to simple use a property. That said, I would like to this you could perform some reflection magic along with the ILGenerator class to perform this (just a thought).

Sounds interesting, do you have more info ? Yes, I could use a property, but as I said, I'm looking for another option.

take a look at COM Control Shockwave Flash Object.
U can add it to ur designer toolbox and put it anywhere in ur form as u would with any other control.
I think it will do what u need, but I dont have specific data on how to program against it. A quick google search should givue u info.

Hello,
I am developing a database application for a library system. I have teachers, students, and books. I have done programming in oop in C++/java. I know about classes, objects, heratance,multiple heritance and polymorpthom. But l am not sure how l could apply this to my database application in visual C#. I know that everything in C# is made up of classes and objects with the controls.
If l was to do this application in C++ or java, then my classes would be teacher, student, and book. Then the instance variable for the student would be things like IDNumber, Name, Address, phoneNo, and e-mail, etc. The instance methods would be addStudent, updateStudent, deleteStudent, etc.
But l am not sure how to apply this in Visual C++. Do developers in the real-world use classes and objects? Does anyone have a small example program that l could examine? Or is there any tutorals on the internet that shows you a step by step in developing a database application using classes and objects.
Thanks for your help,
Steve

I assume you mean C#. These principles apply without change in C#. C# is virtually Java anyhow.

I doubt there are many that don't use them every day.

I'm sure there is, even here on CP. For starters, I tend to do all my data access through stored procedures, then I write a class full of static methods that call the procedures. That's my data layer, the rest of the code just calls it.

U might want to take a look at DataSets and Schemas. It sounds like the editor's self generated strongly typed datasets based on ur DB schema would do you lots of good.

Here is what i have. I am creating an address book using C# and saving the info in an XML file. I wanna be able to write a last name in a text box and have the inforamtion about that contact to show up on the form( I don't wanna use a list box, just in case the list is long). I have been pulling my hair out with this for the past 2 weeks. I decided to give up and come here for help.
here is a sample of how things are stored in my XML file:
- <Contact ContactNumber="13">
<LastName>Lucio</FullName>
<FirstName>Brell</FirstName>
<PhoneNumber>222-222-2222</PhoneNumber>
<Email>brell@yahoo.com</Email>
<Street>2 two street</Street>
<City>twoCity</City>
<State>MD</State>
<ZipCode>22222</ZipCode>
<Country>USA</Country>
</Contact>
I guess the guess the ideal will be to have a process that will match the last name "Lucio" with the ContactNumber "13" when it is entered in the search textbox. And then have something to bring up the information stored in ContactNumber="13".
Well I just don't know how to code this part.
Any help would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks in Advance

The XML structure you have is very simple. Why don't you create an a schema based on that XML. From the schema you can create a typed dataset. Using XmlDataDocument you can brige XML and ADO.NET. You can utilize the power of the DataView and also use xpath!!
I'm in a hurry right now but I'll try to come back later with a helpful example.

any onw know good program make the form more life than the standard form in visual studio .i mean if there is aprogram changes the buttoms tha main frame of the form to make it circulary or any shape except rectangle (i hate this view really)
thnx all;)

I'm a little bit of a hurry but i'll help u out...
- see Region property
- see TransparencyKey property
Not that you will have to handle moving the Form by ur self.

Has anyone seen this error?
My forms were loading properly in design mode but all of a sudden they don't. The only error I get is "Unspecified error" in the task list. No comments in the output.
The only way I can get it to work again is to exclude the form from the project and add it again. This fixes it all the time.
It's quite annoying and would love to know if there is a fix. I am using VS .Net 2003.
Thanks.

Hi,
I have an application that works with SQL for database.
Inside the application, I have a datagrid that shows the necessary information that I wanted.
The amount data I have is 100,000 records.
And I am trying to improve the performance when user opening the datagrid.
This is the big picture of what I've got.
When the form is being loaded, I create a thread with normal priority, and then load the all the database to the dataset.
From that dataset, I used dataview to view the data into datagrid, since I am doing search or filter based on user input.
The database table it self doesn't have so many columns, total there are 15 columns, and I only retreive 6 of them.
Is there anyway I could improve the performace of this process, when the user open the form or datagrid?
Thank you very much in advance

Maybe u shouldn't be loading all 100,000 records into ur dataset and filtering from there.
Howbout using the user input to generate a SqlCommand and fetching only the data the user wnats from the sql database?
The downside to this is that it will create a connection to ur DB everytime the user specifies some new filtering criteria, but the cost of loading and having in memory 100,000 records of which maybe only 1% are relevant to the user is a much higher price to pay.

Hi...
I have some values, like 0x800, 0x985 and 0x5FGH!
i have made a code that looks like this...
private const int WHATEVER = 0x800;
private const int SOMETHING = 0x985;
private const int PEPSI = 0x5FGH;
But if I want to add them to one 'const int'!
I have thought of doing this...
private const int[] ALL = {0x800, 0x985, 0x5FGH};
but that does not work 
Can anyone tell me if it this is possible, and how to do it the right way..?
Thanks...!
