What bothers me is this: I'd really like to minimize the chance that
the caller will miss setting one of the params.
That problem is solved... :)

I'd recommend using getters/setters the way they are implemented in
FLTK, for example, using parameter-based method overriding:
instance.varNam e (); /* returns the value */
instance.varNam e (value); /* sets the value */
As for checking if all the parameters are set, you should set default
values in the constructor, and before beginning to use the parameters
check if they have been set by the class's user.
Hope that helps

Not "have to" for two reasons:
- struct members may be references to existing objects
- the compiler may optimize away the copy
I'd recommend using getters/setters the way they are implemented in
FLTK, for example, using parameter-based method overriding:
instance.varNam e (); /* returns the value */
instance.varNam e (value); /* sets the value */
[This is not related to this topic, and completely subjective, but I
strongly recommend against using the same name for getters and
setters. It looks good on paper but very confusing.]
Now, what happened to the concern of copying? Wouldn't the setter copy
the value?
As for checking if all the parameters are set, you should set default
values in the constructor, and before beginning to use the parameters
check if they have been set by the class's user.
That method would first default construct and then assign. Since
assignment involves destructing and copying, I don't think you are
really concerned about the cost of the method I proposed. Maybe I
misunderstood you. Why did you object using a constructor to set the
parameters?
Additionally, you method requires that every member must be
assignable, which not every type are.
Hope that helps
Sure, but that is inferior to using a constructor. Besides, your
method does not address the OP's requirement at all: eran said "I'd
really like to minimize the chance that the caller will miss setting
one of the params."

Who copy? The class could work directly on the data.

FLTK, for example, using parameter-based method overriding:
Which is always the sign of a bad design. How do you make sure they are
all called or which ones upset the state of the class?

Hi everyone. This is a question and something new and neat I have
found. But to recap - a few months back I learnt about overloading,
how to create the same method with a different signature. With some
help from people in this newsgroup I created a new class with
overloaded constructors that accepted one or two parameters. The code
is below.

Hi. In c/C++ i can pass the address of a subroutine to another subroutine as an actual parameter
How do I do that in VB .NET
What should be the syntax for a parameter to receive the address of a subroutine
Let's say theres a sub that creates buttons and I want it to receive as a parameter the address of the sub that handles the OnClick event for the button being created
How do I pass such a parameter
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I'm writing an application that will pass a large amount of data between
classes/functions.
In C++ it was more efficient to send a pointer to the object, e.g structure
rather than passing the actual structure itself.
Is this true of C# also?

Hi,
I'm trying to write a update method, in which when the user clicks the
update button the update method is passed 10 form fields. Then a update SQL

My question is whats the best way to pass large numbers of parameters into a
method. Ten seems a large number to be passing into and out of a method.

Thank you all for answering.
I'm afraid relying on setters does not solve the problem of omitting
the init of one of the params. Using default values and validation
might help, but not when using types like bool, in which true and
false are valid, and there could be no default value. Also, this
approach does the validation at run time. If possible, I'd like check
to be done at compile time.
After reading your suggestions and giving it...
