can someone help me out I am confused

is this correct C# for a list inside of a for loop

> var totalDeductions = deductionList[i].Sum()

Morwenn

Not bad.

Malachi

14:34

when DeductionList[i] can have properties like this deductionList[i].EPFAmount

Jeroen Vannevel

@Malachi does deductionList contain IEnumerable<T> in its indices?

Malachi

@JeroenVannevel I can only assume

Jeroen Vannevel

.Sum() needs an IEnumerable<T> to work with, so if it contains something selfdefined as .EPFAmount then you'll need to look at the class definition to see if it does

or look for a selfdefined extension method, but that's less likely

Malachi

can I just run .Sum() or do I have to have stuff inside the parenthesis?

And there is a class called WageManager which is having a association with WageInfo, handling all operations like BalanceWage(). DataService...

c# best-practice oop mvp uml

I posted my answer, with what I was thinking, but the syntax is most likely wrong, because there isn't enough information about that object where the deductionList comes from

skiwi

Where is @SimonAndréForsberg anyway?

Jeroen Vannevel

14:38

That doesn't look right

Malachi

my answer or the OP?

Jeroen Vannevel

Yours about the .Sum()

Malachi

should it be Sum(deductionList[i]) ? or something like that with Linq?

Jeroen Vannevel

He has a class defined Deduction so I assume that's the class he receives

What exactly are you trying to sum?

Vogel612

That Sum thing will not work, as he sums up the properties of a single entry in the List.

Jeroen Vannevel

14:39

All these different amounts?

Malachi

they are properties of an object in a list

Vogel612

You can't .Sum() properties (or fields while we're at it)

Jeroen Vannevel

That's not how .Sum() works: you're arbitrarely (trying) summing fields now

.Sum() gets the sum of an IEnumerable<T>

not the fields inside an object

Vogel612

Instead you can define a public convenience method..

public double Sum()
{
     return //sum up all the properties
}

Jeroen Vannevel

I haven't used Func<A, B> yet, but I'd look into that for a helper method

so you can call someDeduction.Sum(x => x.AdvanceAmount, y => y.OverTimeAmount);

skiwi

14:46

Oh... the joy of doing things correctly.

pastebin.com/nVjFjbER

Malachi

I don't know what I am doing, this answer is going to be messy

how does this look?

var totalDeductions;
foreach (DeductionType Deduction in deductionList[i].GetProperties)
{
    totalDeductions += Deduction;
}

I don't know the types, I just used generic typing here to get the idea across

Jeroen Vannevel

Guaranteed problems with different types

Mat's Mug

ugh. just hit a bug... a log table is being used as part of some business logic, it's deleted from and then inserted into... somebody shoot me.

Malachi

@Mat'sMug BANG!

Jeroen Vannevel

and you won't be able to exclude certain properties like TotallyIrrelevantAmount

Morwenn

14:50

@Mat'sMug Your job is always fun.

For us.

Malachi

I assume that is done when they create the list @JeroenVannevel

Mat's Mug

@Morwenn I want to cry

Malachi

checking the values I mean

Jeroen Vannevel

@Malachi That collection is just of type IEnumerable<Deduction>, a single Deduction instance inside that collection might have fields you're not interested in calculating it

But by getting the properties through reflection you're getting all properties in that object

Including those you're not interested in

skiwi

totalDeductions = deductionList[i].getProperties.stream().sum(); ? If it were Java

Malachi

14:52

@JeroenVannevel now we have to review theoretical instances? it looks to me like they want all the Deductions from the deductionList object indexed i

Jeroen Vannevel

@skiwi Still gives you the problem with incompatible types and the TotallyIrrelevantAmount field that can't be added to the calculation

Malachi

what about this @JeroenVannevel

var totalDeductions;
foreach (DeductionType Deduction in deductionList[i].GetProperties)
{
    totalDeductions += Convert.ToDouble(Deduction);
}

Jeroen Vannevel

@Malachi The way I read that code is that there is a collection deductionList defined as IEnumerable<Deduction>

But Deduction is a type itself

It has 15 fields

One instance of Deduction has fields like AdvanceAmount, CarriedForwardAmount and DeathDonationAmount

Malachi

in other words, the TotalDeductions variable should be a property of the Deduction Class or a Method inside the Deduction class.

Jeroen Vannevel

I would go with a method, but yes

Vogel612

14:56

Damn hell, I've been drinking 4 Litres of water over the last 8 hours and I still feel dehydrated and can't really concentrate..

Jeroen Vannevel

Either that or you create that helper method in the calling class that uses Func so you can specify the fields as you want to

Malachi

Drinking is bad during the week @Vogel612

Jeroen Vannevel

instead of hardcoding them inside Deduction

Q: C# ASP.Net web service getting value using LINQ from queue table in SQL database

As a test of my C# skills, I have been asked to create a simple web service which will take a message from a queue table in a SQL database and send it to a web application when a button is pressed on the application. I have never written a web service before so I am going in a little blind here ...

@Malachi Isn't that just putting a reference of readcode (some kind of integer) in the method, such that the method can change it

@SimonAndréForsberg Did you manage to take a look at my code coverage already?

Simon André Forsberg

@skiwi Looks impressive. Seems like you boosted it up quite a lot

Do you have yours on github yet?

Bcause I think Continious Integration is awesome

Also it automatically builds and tests pull requests ;)

Marc-Andre

+1 for Continious Integration!

skiwi

I still don't know why or how I found this whole thing, I must've spotted it somewhere this morning.

Because early this morning I had totally no intention to start implementing all this ;)

@skiwi Continuous integration? What does that mean exactly?

rolfl

every commit gets automatically regression tested

Simon André Forsberg

No, I don't have mine on Github yet. It will come, some day...

Regression tested?

rolfl

17:23

Tested to make sure it does not do anything it should not do.

A regression is something that used to work, but now does not.

skiwi

And it allows for other sites to interact with the builds on the CI-platform, such as Coveralls, which reports code coverage

rolfl

JUnit testing is regression testing

skiwi

And I can have nice badges now!

Mat's Mug

@rolfl wait, that sounds way too familiar...

@skiwi No clue. it is like using an Out Parameter or ByRef. in other words the variable is pulled in and changed by the function. the function changes the variable eventually to 0 I hope otherwise OP has an infinite loop

skiwi

@Malachi Well, else it wouldn't have passed the unit test either way. Unit tests, right, Right?!

Malachi

@skiwi I need to learn about those too......... but yes

Simon André Forsberg

Aha

skiwi

It's even so kind to email you when your build doesn't pass.

Malachi

going to take me forever to make it to fanatic. going on vacation in June so I will not be online a whole lot that week. ugh!

@SimonAndréForsberg If you check right now, you can see it building/testing:

The Answer to the Question is 42. — Malachi 7 secs ago

I changed the readme, this should not make my build fail by the way.

Malachi

@Mat'sMug that is what I was thinking

Q: How to Make Strongly-typed References to Web.Config?

Let's say I have a configuration file with a property in it: <add key="LoadedCode" value="L" /> I know I can reference this using the ConfigurationManager: System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["LoadedCode"]; This has some drawbacks. It can get bulky when it gets used in mu...

It's appereantly still queued, but not for long I guess

Unfortunately it doesn't feel much like building now.

Mat's Mug

18 short of 13K :)

@SimonAndréForsberg now "only" ~400 points behind... what's wrong with you, feeling all right?

Malachi

here is a horrible one, @Mat'sMug tell me what I did wrong here, hopefully nothing though

A: How to Make Strongly-typed References to Web.Config?

you shouldn't have to use the fully qualified name, you should be able to do something like this Use System.Configuration; public static string LoadedCode { get { return ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["LoadedCode"]; } } I think you can even go farther depending on how you set up your Re...

Mat's Mug

hmm I think OP is seeking to avoid the literal string

Malachi

if they want an Integer then it would be Convert.ToInt32(); instead of the ToString();

Simon André Forsberg

@Mat'sMug I know, I know, I haven't answered much lately!

skiwi

I think I finally got my git console so far that I can remove the remote files

Marc-Andre

@Mat'sMug Hey congrats on 13k :P

skiwi

@rolfl I managed to succesfully delete the files, now I feel somewhat more of a git guru

rolfl

congrats ... ;-)

Did my suggestions help?

Mat's Mug

:)

skiwi

17:50

Yeah definately, ended up using those

rolfl

Wow.... excellent, it was a good guess then

skiwi

My main worry was that I would be comitting files not ready for commit yet, but figured out how git status worked

(I also doublechecked SO to be sure)

Mat's Mug

@Malachi sorry

@Marc-Andre can web apps have an app.config?

please review: codereview.stackexchange.com/a/51325/23788

Marc-Andre

@Mat'sMug Sorry it's so far in my memory I can't really help you. I haven't done asp.net since my first year of cegep :P

Mat's Mug

@Marc-Andre you're shitting me! My first year of CEGEP was VB crap! ...but that was before .net 1.1 was even thought of...

meh
