How to refresh an Infragistics UltraGrid? - infragistics

I am using Infragistics UltraGrid with datasouce Windows Bindingsouce.
On change, I provide datasouce to Bindingsouce and call DataBinding of UltraGrid. Value in the datasouce of Bindingsouce changes, but that is not reflected in the UltraGrid.

Your binding source must raise some event to trigger grid refresh. For example, if you are using BindingList it should raise the ListChanged event.

Also, make sure that whatever class that you are using as your Binding Object implements INotifyPropertyChanged so that when you update the BindingObject at run time it gets channeled to BindingSource which eventually gets picked up by Grid.
i.e.:
BindingList<Foo> lstItems = new BindingList<Foo>;
BindingSource bso = ;
bso.DataSource = lstItems;
Grid.DataSource = bso;
public class Foo : INotifyPropertyChanged
see MDSN article here
Also depends if you changing the collection outside Grid (at runtime, because if you do, you need to use BindingList<T> and assign it to BindingSource

Asynchronously populate/pre-fill multiple, user mutable `#State` values when using SwiftUI?

I have some TextField(s) with “.text” values that are supposed to be populated by a method called within “init()” (can be moved) that asynchronously calls a completion handler with a struct of data from the network.
The thing is... the user can also begin typing into them manually in the meantime and the completion callback shouldn’t overwrite the manually edited values.
I’m not sure how to:
Update the values of the #State String variables to replace the existing values only if they haven’t been modified by the user yet... while also having them be mutable by the end-user.
Update N number of the #State values from the same request at once. One request is used to pull all of the data in, so mapping into a single value while having it be mutable as noted above is a head scratcher at the moment.
It seems like a job for Combine, just not sure where to start yet.
I'm assuming the user-edit is per-field and all other fields should be left alone.
Move all state inside an ObservableObject, make the state variables #Published, take a publisher from each and create a sink from each setting a variable if stateX != initialStateXValue { stateXUserModified = true } inside each sink and have a method networkUpdate(loadedData:) on the ObservableObject which only sets the state if the associated stateXUserModified is false.

ember.js ember-data initiale state of new created model record

Ember.data 2.2.0
The state of just created object is dirty (get('hasDirtyAttributes' return true), cause the new ID is set every time.
I need to know when the record is created, not saved and the "user" not modified it. So, I can't use the dirty state cause the store change it.
If I modified the internal state just after create the record, I will broke somthing inner the record?
My real need, is when I create the record I need a initiale state and I want detect when a user change it. So, I saw in the record source code, it's use the "setProperties" methode to set the ID and optionaly the data passed to the createRecord method.
So, I want override the createRecord store metod to set the dirty state to false after created it. And the principal, how I can do that?
I saw the doc of DS.RootState Class and it just talk about that states : (deleted, saved, uncommitted, inFlight, empty, loaded, created, updated, loading) and the method translateTo but nothing to change the dirty state.
In the doc say :
Flags are Boolean values that can be used to introspect a record's
current state in a more user-friendly way than examining its state
path
So... I set currentState.parentState.isDirty to false and that it
Edit: After set the flag directly, the record doesn't change state, stay in no dorty. So, how what I can do?
The only solution I found is test if the object is new. If is it, re-create a new one.
If not, I call the rollbackAttributes().
And use the that method on model for detect a change :
isChanged : function() {
return this._internalModel.hasChangedAttributes();
}

Flex 4 component is created before dataprovider gets data

I have a custom component (List) which gets the dataprovider from external xml which calls a service again.Dataprovider is set to custom list by ID.
For the first time when screen loads the list is generated with data but later after if I refresh the screen the list is loaded with empty because list is getting created before dataprovider gets values from xml and service.
Every time if I run in debug mode I will get the list generated as I will wait till dataprovider gets data..but if I run in normal mode I could see empty list some times.
You can try Binding the Dataprovider to the list. So even if it is updated late it will automatically update the list.
You can use metadata tag something like:
[Bindable]
private var arrayCollection:ArrayCollection;
and update the 'arrayCollection' when you get data dynamically.
Hope it helps.
The data binding could be the solution for your problem.
Other way could be set the dataprovider of the list when the service gets the result
- Call the service
- The service obtains the data
- list.dataProvider = result of the service
Anyway, data binding seems the best solution
[Bindable]
private var arrayCollection:ArrayCollection;
<s:List dataProvider="{arrayCollection}" ....

Microsoft Dynamics CRM - Pass Parameters from Web Service to IPlugins

We are building some plugins in Microsoft Dynamics CRM by inheriting from IPlugin. We have these configured so they fire whenever an Account is updated.
The problem is the plugins are calling our services, which causes our service to respond with an update. We are doing some pretty hacky things right now to prevent these cyclical updates from happening.
We were wondering if there was a way to pass a value to the IOrganizationService service (the web service) that a plugin can look at. Our other system could send a flag ("hey, don't bothing sending an update!") and the plugin could skip calling back.
Can we pass parameters from web service to the plugins?
Good idea could be usage of custom flag-field. For example you add bit field and call it CallFromExternalSystem. So when you make an update from your external system through IOranizationService you just fill this flag with true field and in plugin you can check condition that this field is present in fields list so you have no need to call external system endpoint again.
We decided the correct solution was to use the value found in IPluginExecutionContext.InputParameters["Target"]. In the case of an Update, this returns an Entity containing attributes for all the attributes that were updated.
We basically have a list of attribute names we cared about. We loop through names and see if any of them appear in the entity attribute list. If so, we send an update to our other system. The good news is, Dynamics CRM ignores updates where the values don't actually change, so trying to update a value to itself is no-op.
public void Execute(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
{
IPluginExecutionContext context = serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IPluginExecutionContext));
Entity entity = (Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"];
string[] fields = new string[] { "name", "statecode", "address1_line1" };
bool hasUpdates = fields.Where(f => entity.Attributes.Contains(f)).Any();
if (!hasUpdates)
{
return;
}
}

How should I do post persist/update actions in doctrine 2.1, that involves re-saving to the db?

Using doctrine 2.1 (and zend framework 1.11, not that it matters for this matter), how can I do post persist and post update actions, that involves re-saving to the db?
For example, creating a unique token based on the just generated primary key' id, or generating a thumbnail for an uploaded image (which actually doesn't require re-saving to the db, but still) ?
EDIT - let's explain, shall we ?
The above is actually a question regarding two scenarios. Both scenarios relate to the following state:
Let's say I have a User entity. When the object is flushed after it has been marked to be persisted, it'll have the normal auto-generated id of mysql - meaning running numbers normally beginning at 1, 2, 3, etc..
Each user can upload an image - which he will be able to use in the application - which will have a record in the db as well. So I have another entity called Image. Each Image entity also has an auto-generated id - same methodology as the user id.
Now - here is the scenarios:
When a user uploads an image, I want to generate a thumbnail for that image right after it is saved to the db. This should happen for every new or updated image.
Since we're trying to stay smart, I don't want the code to generate the thumbnail to be written like this:
$image = new Image();
...
$entityManager->persist($image);
$entityManager->flush();
callToFunctionThatGeneratesThumbnailOnImage($image);
but rather I want it to occur automatically on the persisting of the object (well, flush of the persisted object), like the prePersist or preUpdate methods.
Since the user uploaded an image, he get's a link to it. It will probably look something like: http://www.mysite.com/showImage?id=[IMAGEID].
This allows anyone to just change the imageid in this link, and see other user's images.
So in order to prevent such a thing, I want to generate a unique token for every image. Since it doesn't really need to be sophisticated, I thought about using the md5 value of the image id, with some salt.
But for that, I need to have the id of that image - which I'll only have after flushing the persisted object - then generate the md5, and then saving it again to the db.
Understand that the links for the images are supposed to be publicly accessible so I can't just allow an authenticated user to view them by some kind of permission rules.
You probably know already about Doctrine events. What you could do:
Use the postPersist event handler. That one occurs after the DB insert, so the auto generated ids are available.
The EventManager class can help you with this:
class MyEventListener
{
public function postPersist(LifecycleEventArgs $eventArgs)
{
// in a listener you have the entity instance and the
// EntityManager available via the event arguments
$entity = $eventArgs->getEntity();
$em = $eventArgs->getEntityManager();
if ($entity instanceof User) {
// do some stuff
}
}
}
$eventManager = $em->getEventManager():
$eventManager->addEventListener(Events::postPersist, new MyEventListener());
Be sure to check e. g. if the User already has an Image, otherwise if you call flush in the event listener, you might be caught in an endless loop.
Of course you could also make your User class aware of that image creation operation with an inline postPersist eventHandler and add #HasLifecycleCallbacks in your mapping and then always flush at the end of the request e. g. in a shutdown function, but in my opinion this kind of stuff belongs in a separate listener. YMMV.
If you need the entity id before flushing, just after creating the object, another approach is to generate the ids for the entities within your application, e. g. using uuids.
Now you can do something like:
class Entity {
public function __construct()
{
$this->id = uuid_create();
}
}
Now you have an id already set when you just do:
$e = new Entity();
And you only need to call EntityManager::flush at the end of the request
In the end, I listened to #Arms who commented on the question.
I started using a service layer for doing such things.
So now, I have a method in the service layer which creates the Image entity. After it calls the persist and flush, it calls the method that generates the thumbnail.
The Service Layer pattern is a good solution for such things.
