    c# wpf entity-framework dbcontext n-tier
    There’s a certain amount of background to get through for this one – please bear with me!We have a n-tier WPF application using EF – we load the data from the database via dbContext into POCO classes. The dbContext is destroyed and the user is then able to edit the data. We use “state painting” as suggested by Julie Lerman in her book “Programming Entity Framework: DBContext” so that when we add the root entity to a new dbContext for saving we can set whether each child entity is added, modifie

    How to skip updating some of the sub-bindings of a MultiBinding? I have defined in code-behind (I had some troubles making it in XAML and I don’t think it matters – after all code-behind is not less expressive then XAML) a MultiBinding which takes two read-only properties and one normal property to produce a single value. In case of ConvertBack the read-only properties are not modified (they sustain their value) and only the normal property is changed.While defining the MultiBinding the entire M

The question can be found on: Custom ToggleButton in Xamarin.Android. To replicate the behavior follow this steps:Extend the ToggleButton(I found this issue with toggle button but I guess it is the same with other UI elements) and create the listener for the click event:public sealed class MyToggleButton

In the second, the string could be produced any number of ways. – Joe 1 hour ago Which got the answer:Eh, potato / solanum tuberosum… in python, niether is statically compiled, so they are more or less equivalent. – SWeko 1 hour agoI know that Python objects’ memb

    I’ve recently encountered an issue where I have an ObservableCollection bound to a ListView. People is a structure which I have written. So long as I set the value(s) of the People objects prior to binding, everything seems to work OK. However, when I try to set the values from the GUI at runtime, the underlying objects do not seem to reflect the change.I finally overcame this problem by simply changing People from a structure to a class. No other changes were necessary.Can someone please ex

    c# .net interface binding clr
    In Wagner’s “Effective C#,” item 23, he explains that interface methods are notvirtual…they are a declaration of aconcrete implementation.I find that to be a conundrum, because it means that interface methods represent early binding, and yet they have the behavior of late-binding. It rouses curiosity of how they work under the covers. In C++ this would turn into a discussion of vtables. In C#, I don’t know what it turns into. Can someone spell it out?p.s.
