Theory question

YYZ
Can anyone tell me why (not accusing .Net, just wondering) if I make a property
on a form Public, then inherit from that form, then I can see the property in
the form's property window (good), but if I make the property protected, I can't
(bad)?

I'm trying to see the logic in that...and I haven't found it yet.

I think the logic is that protected means that only derived classes can
access it. As the designer is not a derived class, it is not possible for
the designer to set/get it.

Thanks. I can see what you are saying. I don't like it <g>, but I understand
now.

Dear functional programing comrades, Among the community of automatons of the IT industry, there is a popular quote about "theory vs practice" that goes something along the lines of "in theory this, but in practice that", which is often quoted by automatons to slight at computer science principles or practice. (especially by perl or unix advocates) i'm posting the following in hope that "theory vs practice" can cease its misleading...

bo'jour, bo'jour, So I have question to present to the forum about OOD. This is a Csharp forum, but C# is the lang of choice and the question is an exercise based on some comments by the chief designer of C#. Those of you who are junkies for design principle might be interested in contributing to this thread. I was recently reading some interviews with the chief engineer for C# (formerly Mr. Delphi), and he made an interesting comment...

I need some help to confirm my theory! I think I discovered something new for myself about behavior System.Web.UI.Page. THEORY: Every time I change control on my WebForm1 page that results in PostBack, it is handled by a new instance of WebForm1 class, i.e. a new instance of WebForm1 class is created every time. In general, any GET or POST to WebForm1 will get its own new instance of WebForm1. public class WebForm1 :...

I know this is a tall order, but I'm looking for a book that talks about the implications of alternative approaches to languages than we typically see, such as allowing multiple inheritance... detailed, but not so heavy that the interesting, qualitative conclusions are left to the reader to dig out of a set of equations. Any recommendations? Bob

Dear All, I'm writing to this list since am looking for a cooperation. I'm working about the development of a mathematical theory of languages. It defines a language as a set of elements which can be combined or associated (see the PS for an example). I'd like to cooperate with a computer scientist in order to define a Php package useful to create and to analyse a catalog of mathematical languages. This package should be placed in the...

I'm having problems creating classes because of "can't create a consistent mro" problems. I noticed, in a test program, that if the base class list that I pass to type.__new__ is sorted (using default keys, so presumably sorting by the id's of the class objects), that the problem goes away. Now in this test, the id's (memory addresses) of the class objects are presumably in the same order as the chronological order that the classes...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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,...

Dear forum friends, With the development of smart home technology, a variety of wireless communication protocols have appeared on the market, such as Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc. Each protocol has its own unique characteristics and advantages, but as a user who is planning to build a smart home system, I am a bit confused by the choice of these technologies.

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
