Best Technique

I am wanting to create a data screen using the datagrid.
Perhaps the datagrid is not the best choice for this
particular project, but I and wanting to try to use the
datagrid so I can learn how to use the datagrid for
editing data rather then just displaying it.

Suppose my entry needs are as follows:

Title Movie Rating Movie Category

There is a table which has the list of valid ratings and
a table which has the list of valid Movie Categories. I
am guessing that I want to use a DropDown List for both
Movie Rating and Movie Category. I could create a table
which combines both Movie Rating and Movie Category into
a single table such that I could bind each of the
DropdownList to the same datasource, but There might be 5
ratings and 10 categories, so I don't thing this would be
desirable.

Can I use one of the data grid events and bind each
DropdownList to it's particular table? Is that a way I
can get around the "single datasource" for a datagrid
restriction?

Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Thanks in advance for your assistance!!!!

Hi all. I'm working here on a small project of mine. I'm not new to programming, but I'm new to PHP. You have to understand that I'm coming from C++, OOP world, so my code might seems a little too "object"-ified. Anyways, I've created a wrapper class for MySQL connectivity. It's barebones for now, no error checking or anything. So now I'm trying to create user/session-handling class that would work with the data stored in the database...

Seeking reference material (a url, a book, an article) that offers advice and guidelines for organizing classes within files.

I'm fairly unfamiliar with CSS, but want to develop a way to skin a web application by using stylesheets for everything, including all images.

Suppose one is writing a library behavior the classes A1, A2 and A3, which share some common behavior. Some applications will only use one of the classes, while other applications will use all of them. Because the classes share common behavior, the library designed has to choose wether to introduce an abstract base class A, or not. Introducing an ABC has the advantage of run time flexibility, but efficiency suffers (virtual functions &...

The designers have handed me a page that has 5 different blocks on it in the center column (in a typical 3 column layout with page spanning headers and footers). The blocks have elaborate headers (large images), and small content areas that will hold little blocks of text. Currently, I have this done with pixel specific tables within tables within tables, using the images as backgrounds of the repseective TD's.

I have all of my data operations in a separate library, so I'm looking for what might be termed "best practices" on a return type from those classes. For example, let's say I send an update from the UI layer to a method in a library class that calls the stored procedure. Best to return a boolean indicating success/failure, return a string with the exception message, or just return the entire exception?

What's the best method for annotating attributes with a docstring? I'm looking to be able to introspect my class & get the comments back out. The technique I'm using is a little hoaky, but works.. basically I create subclasses of the builtin types that I want to be able to use & then instantiate them in my attribute assignments. This gives me an object that I can tweak the __doc__ attribute on. An example of what my code looks like...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
