Basics: 1. There are two separate items utilized by computer applications: -Definitions (object names, properties, methods etc.) -Data (actual information entered by user in various ways) 2.

• Visual C++ Rationale for C++/CLI Value Types not having a default constructor

  Given value class X { public: // Not allowed: X():i(100000),s(10000) { } // Allowed void InitializeDefaults() { i = 100000; s = 10000; } private: int i; short s; } How can: 1) X x; x.InitializeDefaults(); be better semantically than 2) X x; for setting the default values of 100000 for i and 10000 for s In other words what is the rationale for removing the natural user-defined default constructor for value types and forcing the user to default construct the value type object to its zero or null values and then have to call another function to set default values which the type may want I read that 2) can not be guaranteed to occur properly in ...Show All

• Visual Studio Dynamically Changing ConnectionString for reports' ObjectDatasource

  Suppose that there is set of servers (in my case it is only one server, but I would prefer a more general solution), each with their own set of databases.  All the databases have the same structure (for example, they are all editted copies of the Northwind DB), but contain different data.  How can one write the report such that it can choose which database to use based on user-specified parameters When designing a report with VS 2005, the datasets are created and their connection is built and stored in web-config.  At runtime, all related properties for these objects seem to be read-only.  As such, I am unable to change ...Show All
