    Classes question

    The pattern itself can't but the methods employed in the code can. (ie. using collections, datasets, etc..) --------------------------------------- Noble D. Bell www.noblesoftware.com www.noblebell.com

    Classes question

    One thing that I failed to mention is that some of the work I am doing is in a limited resource area of smart phone and pocket pc development. With limited memory resources to work with using some of these patterns can be quite taxing on the system. ---------------------------------------...

    Classes question

    Which is best practice: Create class that maps a piece of data for a database. This would be properties only. (i.e. fields in the datbase table). Then create a new class and inherit the class from above (the on that contains just the properties) and add the CRUD code to the new classclass...

    Sharing a Windows Network Printer on my Mac-Mini

    Yes, I have tried that and still nothing. I get to the "Printer Browser" and select my network but it does not list any printers. My PC is on and so is the printer. I know I should have everything setup properly because I can share the printer on a Windows laptop without any problems. I am sure...

    Sharing a Windows Network Printer on my Mac-Mini

    Hello, I am fairly new with Mac's. I have been using PC's for almost 20 years. Here is what I would like to do: I have a PC with a HP ink jet printer installed on it. I want to be able to share that printer with my Mac-Mini. I found an article explaining how to do it but it does not seem to work...

    Still struggling with OOP

    Hello all, It has been some time since I have been on here. I have been working with learning OOP and the help that you all have given me in the past is helping. After several months of on and off playing with OOP I have decided that my biggest road block, for the moment, is not being able to...

    General Consensus

    I use OO on my personal machine at home. At work I am forced to use MS Office for the time being. There is one thing that I have noticed though. It is with some formatting. I have to edit some medical reports for another business and they use MS Office 2003. I get the reports loaded up just fine...

    List Class Example?

    I am a little bit confused on the concept of using a List Class. Here is what I want to be able to do: 1) I create an object called "NotePage" 2) I want to add several "NotePage" objects to a "NoteBook" List 3) I then want to be able to pass a List Class as a parameter to a method call Can...

    Burnt Out! -- Help!!!

    So, I guess the bottom line is this: If you are a new student and want to learn to write computer programs -- would you feel short changed in your education if you were just taught how instead of why it is?? Anyway, this is an interesting debate that can go on and on but I am not sure that...

    Burnt Out! -- Help!!!

    So, I think that it is safe to make this statement: It appears that all the current modern development languages are making application development easier by allowing one to use modules and components already created. Hence the term RAD. Fine. Years ago there were no wizards for creating code...

    Burnt Out! -- Help!!!

    I agree, things have got harder for hobbiest and for amateurs. It has also got much harder for a single-person programmer trying to make a living. There is just so much new stuff coming down the pipe at such a rapid pace it is hard to keep up with what you think is going to be the most helpful...

    Burnt Out! -- Help!!!

    @lionelhill - Thanks for your comments. I do still enjoy hobby programming as much as always. I also still enjoy writing shareware too. I think the biggest hurdle is the fact of deciding what language to use when a good idea does pop up. If I can get over that hurdle then I might start going...

    Burnt Out! -- Help!!!

    Yes, I like who I work for. I have known him for quite sometime now and we are really progressing towards full-release of our product in November of this year. As far as anything happening a year and a half ago that would cause me to start burning out? No, nothing comes to mind other than my...

    Burnt Out! -- Help!!!

    I have been programming for over 22 years. I am approaching 39 years of age this year. I use to turn out code and ideas with a blinding pace. I use to write software as a hobby, for my shareware business, and for the company that I work for. Then, one day after working for my current employer...

    NEWBIE: Class Design Update

    Interesting. I don't think that I will ever get a good handle on this stuff. I come from the old world of top-down design and am trying to learn a good solid foundation in oop. I want to use Java and C#. Don't really know why other than I think each are pretty cool if not one in the same. I have...

    NEWBIE: Class Design Update

    A few months ago I asked a question about getting a design right. I got several great answers but had to put every thing on hold for a couple of months. I would like some comments/suggestions on the following "class diagram" that I am trying to create. Statement: Keep up with contact...
