var words = ["aqueous", "strength", "hated", "sesquicentennial", "area"];
words.pluck('length');
//-> [7, 8, 5, 16, 4]
Note that this example code is equivalent to
words.map( function(word) { return word.length; } );
I wondered if something similar is possible in F#:
let words = ["aqueous"; "strength"; "hated";"sesquicentennial"; "area"]
//val words: string list
List.pluck 'Length' words
//int list = [7; 8; 5; 16; 4]
without having to write:
List.map (fun (s:string) -> s.Length) words
This would seem quite useful to me because then you don't have to write functions for every property to access them.

I'm developing a Windows desktop app in C#/.NET/WPF, using VS 2008. The app is required to install and run on Vista and XP machines. I'm working on a Setup project to install the app.
My app requires read/modify/write access to a SQLCE database file (.sdf) and some other database-type files related to a third-party control I'm using. These files should be shared among all users/log-ins on the PC, none of which can be required to be an Administrator. This means, of course, that the files can't go in the program's own installation directory (as such things often did before the arrival of Vista, yes, yes!).
I had expected the solution to be simple. Vista and XP both have shared-application-data folders intended for this purpose. ("\ProgramData" in Vista, "\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data" in XP.) The .NET Environment.GetFolderPath() call exists to find the paths to these folders on a given PC, yes, yes!
But I can't figure out how to specify the shared-app-data folder in the Setup project.
There is a "Common Files" folder, but that's intended for shared program components (not data files), is usually located under "\Program Files," and has the same security restrictions anything else in "\Program files" does, yes, yes!
There is also a "User's Application Data" folder, but that's a per-user folder, which is exactly what I'm trying to avoid, yes, yes!

I need to create a custom membership user and provider for an ASP.NET mvc app and I'm looking to use TDD. I have created a User class which inherits from the MembershipUser class, but when I try to test it I get an error that I can't figure out. How do I give it a valid provider name? Do I just need to add it to web.config? But I'm not even testing the web app at this point.
[failure] UserTests.SetUp.UserShouldHaveMembershipUserProperties
TestCase 'UserTests.SetUp.UserShouldHaveMembershipUserProperties'
failed: The membership provider name specified is invalid.
Parameter name: providerName
System.ArgumentException
Message: The membership provider name specified is invalid.
Parameter name: providerName

The XML is not controlled by me and is organized rather well. Unfortunately, there are several sets of nested nodes, the purpose of some of them is just to hold a collection of their children. Based on my current knowledge of XML Serialization, those nodes require another class.
Is there a way to make a class serialize to a set of XML nodes instead of just one. Because I feel like I'm being as clear as mud, say we have the xml:
<root>
<users>
<user id="">
<firstname />
<lastname />
...
</user>
<user id="">
<firstname />
<lastname />
...
</user>
</users>
<groups>
<group id="" groupname="">
<userid />
<userid />
</group>
<group id="" groupname="">
<userid />
<userid />
</group>
</groups>
</root>
Ideally, 3 classes would be best. A class `root` with collections of `user` and `group` objects. However, best I can figure is that I need a class for `root`, `users`, `user`, `groups` and `group`, where `users` and `groups` contain only collections of `user` and `group` respectively, and `root` contains a `users`, and `groups` object.
Anyone out there who knows better than me? (don't lie, I know there are). | .net | xml | serialization | xmlserialization | null | null | open | .NET XML Seralization

I have inherited a database that has 1(one) table in that looks much like this. Its aim is to record what species are found in the various (200 odd) countries.
ID
Species
Afghanistan
Albania
Algeria
American Samoa
Andorra
Angola
....
Western Sahara
Yemen
Zambia
Zimbabwe
A sample of the data would be something like this
id Species Afghanistan Albania American Samoa
1 SP1 null null null
2 SP2 1 1 null
3 SP3 null null 1
It seems to me this is a typical many to many situation and I want 3 tables.
Species, Country, and SpeciesFoundInCountry
The link table (SpeciesFoundInCountry) would have foreign keys in both the species and Country tables.
(It is hard to draw the diagram!)
Species
SpeciesID SpeciesName
Country
CountryID CountryName
SpeciesFoundInCountry
CountryID SpeciesID
Is there a magic way I can generate an insert statement that will get the CountryID from the new Country table based on the column name and the SpeciesID where there is a 1 in the original mega table?
I can do it for one Country (this is a select to show what I want out)
SELECT Species.ID, Country.CountryID
FROM Country, Species
WHERE (((Species.Afghanistan)=1)) AND (((Country.Country)="Afghanistan"));
(the mega table is called species)
But using this strategy I would need to do the query for each column in the original table.
Is there a way of doing this in sql?
I guess I can OR a load of my where clauses together and write a script to make the sql, seems inelegant though!
Any thoughts (or clarification required)?
Cheers for reading all that :D

This is a webapp in C# .NET - data comes in from a webservice and is displayed onscreen in a table. The table's rows are generated with asp:Repeaters, so that the rows alternate colers nicely. The table previously held one item of data per row. Now, essentially, the table has sub-headers... The first row is the date, the second row shows a line of data, and all the next rows are data rows until data of a new date comes in, in which case there will be another sub-header row.
At first I thought I could cheat a little and do this pretty easily to keep the current repeater structure- I just need to feed some cells the empty string so that no data appears in them. Now, however, we're considering one of those +/- collapsers next to each date, so that they can collapse all the data. My mind immediately went to hiding rows when a button is pressed... but I don't know how to hide rows from the code behind unless the row has a unique id, and I'm not sure if you can do that with repeaters.
I hope I've expressed the problem well. I'm sure I'll find a way TBH but I just saw this site on slashdot and thought I'd give it a whirl :) | c# | .net | repeater | null | null | null | open | Cleanest way to implement collapsable entries in a table generated via asp:Repeater?

/**
* Interface for an enumeration, each element of which can be uniquely identified by it's code

/**

* @param code
* @return
*/
public CodableEnum getByCode(String code);
/**
* Get the code that identifies an element of the enum
* @return
*/
public String getCode();
}
A typical example is:
public enum IMType implements CodableEnum {
MSN_MESSENGER("msn_messenger"),
GOOGLE_TALK("google_talk"),
SKYPE("skype"),
YAHOO_MESSENGER("yahoo_messenger");
private final String code;
IMType (String code) {

return code;
}
public IMType getByCode(String code) {
for (IMType e : IMType.values()) {
if (e.getCode().equalsIgnoreCase(code)) {
return e;
}
}
}
}
As you can imagine these methods are virtually identical in all implementations of CodableEnum. I would like to eliminate this duplication, but frankly don't know how. I tried using a class such as the following:
public abstract class DefaultCodableEnum implements CodableEnum {
private final String code;
DefaultCodableEnum(String code) {
this.code = code;
}
public String getCode() {
return this.code;
}
public abstract CodableEnum getByCode(String code);
}
But this turns out to be fairly useless because:
1. An enum cannot extend a class
2. Elements of an enum (SKYPE, GOOGLE_TALK, etc.) cannot extend a class
3. I cannot provide a default implementation of getByCode(), because DefaultCodableEnum is not itself an Enum. I tried changing DefaultCodableEnum to extend java.lang.Enum, but this doesn't appear to be allowed.
Any suggestions?

However, these always end up behind the mask. YUI seems to be recognizing the highest z-index out there and setting the mask and modal dialog to be higher than that.
If i wait to panel-ize the help content, then i can set those to have a higher z-index. So far, so good. The problem then is that fields within the secondary, non-modal dialogs are unfocusable. The modal dialog beneath them seems to somehow be preventing the focus from going to anything not in the initial, modal dialog.

Right now the SQL query is done externally and the results from each dataset is saved into its own csv file. My little C# console application loads up the two text/csv files and compares them for differences and saves the differences to a text file.
Its a very simple application that just loads all the data from the first file into an arraylist and does a .compare() on the arraylist as each line is read from the second csv file. Then saves the records that don't match.
The application works but I would like to improve the performance. I figure I can greatly improve performance if I can take advantage of the fact that both files are sorted, but I don't know a datatype in C# that keeps order and would allow me to select a specific position. Theres a basic array, but I don't know how many items are going to be in each list. I could have over a million records. Is there a data type available that I should be looking at?

Since the Windows Service is running under the Local System Account, I would like to emulate this same behavior. Basically, I would like to run CMD.EXE under the Local System Account.
I found information online which suggests lauching the CMD.exe using the DOS Task Scheduler AT command, but I received a Vista warning that "due to security enhancements, this task will run at the time excepted but not interactively." Here's a sample command:
AT 12:00 /interactive cmd.exe
Another solution suggested creating a secondary Windows Service via the Service Control (sc.exe) which merely launches CMD.exe.
C:\sc create RunCMDAsLSA binpath= "cmd" type=own type=interact
C:\sc start RunCMDAsLSA
In this case the service fails to start and results it the following error message:
FAILED 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
The third suggestion was to launch CMD.exe via a Scheduled Task. Though you may run scheduled tasks under various accounts, I don't believe the Local System Account is one of them.

I want to write a raw byte/byte stream to a position in a file.
This is what I have currently:
<pre>
<code>
$fpr = fopen($out, 'r+');
fseek($fpr, 1); //seek to second byte
fwrite($fpr, 0x63);
fclose($fpr);

The current concept is that you create an input file (text/csv) to the tool specifying inputs to the system under test. The tool then captures the outputs from the system and records the inputs and outputs to an output file.
The output is in the same format as the original input file and can be used as an input for following runs of the tool, with the measured outputs matched with the values from the previous run.
We would have to write our own interfaces to pass the commands from the tool to the equipment and to capture the output of the equipment.

As far as I tried to find a good solution to this problem - there was none (or at least I could not find it).
###_Lets assume the following:_
**_The user does not behave, as he was expected to._** The actual project I'm working in uses a navigation within the web portal. But if the user uses the browsers back button, the whole tings becommes jeoprady and the result was not allways predictable.
We used the struts framework and stored the back-url into forms - at some places, where we needed a back-url - this has been rendered out of this form's back-url. For there was only a singe field for this information and therefore it was not possible of going back multiple steps.
When you change the "struts-flow" - which may result in using a **different form** - this information will be lost.
If the user dares to put a **bookmark** somewhere within your webapp - this information may never have been set and again the result will again be either unpredictable or not flexible enough!
**My "solution"**:
I was storing every navigation-relevant page the user visited onto a **stack-like** storage into the **session**. This means a navigation-path is collected and stored for later navigations.
At any page within the webapp, where back-navigations are involved I used a self-made tag wich renders the stack-content into the url.
**And thats it**.
When this back-url was clicked, the stack has been filled with the contet from the back-url clicked by the user (which holds all informations from the stack once the back-link was rendered).
This is quite clear, because a click on a link is a clear state, where the web developer exactly knows, where the user "is" a this very moment - absolutely independant from whatever the user did before (e.g. hitting the browser back button multiple times). Then ne navigation stack is build upon this new state.
**Resumé:**
It commes clear, that this won't be the best solution. But it allows storing additional information on the stack like page parameters and some other usefull stuff (further developments possible).
**So, what were your solutions to this problem?**
cheers,
