A compound view is a custom ViewGroup that's treated as a single view by the surrounding program code. Such a ViewGroup can be really useful in DDD-like design, because it can correspond to an aggregate, in this example, a Contact. It can be reused everywhere that contact is displayed.

The .GetValueOrDefault() method returns a value even if the .HasValue property is false (unlike the Value property, which throws an exception). class Program { static void Main() { int? nullableExample = null; int result = nullableExample.GetValueOrDefault(); C...

When filtering an email address filter_var() will return the filtered data, in this case the email address, or false if a valid email address cannot be found: var_dump(filter_var('[email protected]', FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)); var_dump(filter_var('notValidEmail', FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)); Results: ...

When filtering a value that should be an integer filter_var() will return the filtered data, in this case the integer, or false if the value is not an integer. Floats are not integers: var_dump(filter_var('10', FILTER_VALIDATE_INT)); var_dump(filter_var('a10', FILTER_VALIDATE_INT)); var_dump(filt...

When validating that an integer falls in a range the check includes the minimum and maximum bounds: $options = array( 'options' => array( 'min_range' => 5, 'max_range' => 10, ) ); var_dump(filter_var('5', FILTER_VALIDATE_INT, $options)); var_dump(filter_var('...

When filtering a URL filter_var() will return the filtered data, in this case the URL, or false if a valid URL cannot be found: URL: example.com var_dump(filter_var('example.com', FILTER_VALIDATE_URL)); var_dump(filter_var('example.com', FILTER_VALIDATE_URL, FILTER_FLAG_SCHEME_REQUIRED)); var_du...

For all the same reasons that you want to follow the Rule of Three in C++03, you usually want to follow the Rule of Five in C++11: If a class requires ONE of five special member functions...

Object arrays are covariant, which means that just as Integer is a subclass of Number, Integer[] is a subclass of Number[]. This may seem intuitive, but can result in surprising behavior: Integer[] integerArray = {1, 2, 3}; Number[] numberArray = integerArray; // valid Number firstElement = numb...

Atomic vectors (which excludes lists and expressions, which are also vectors) are subset using the [ operator: # create an example vector v1 <- c("a", "b", "c", "d") # select the third element v1[3] ## [1] "c" The [ operator can also tak...

Implementing IErrorHandler for WCF services is a great way to centralize error handling and logging. The implementation shown here should catch any unhandled exception that is thrown as a result of a call to one of your WCF services.
