Comment on A more concise way to match values in C# by rgillette

Thanks manitra! I knew about implicitly typed array declarations in C# 3.0, but it slipped my mind to use it. Thanks for the great feedback!

Hello,

Nice tip

Since C# 3, you can even remove a word and use array instead of list :
if (new[] { “ww”, “j”, “d” }.Contains(status))
{
//do something interesting
}

Further more, the performance and memory usage will decrease … yeah

Comment on Dynamic Dojo Tooltips by Bob Flavin

titlesTip = new dijit.Tooltip({
label: ‘what you want the tooltip to say’,
connectId: [titlesTab.id]});

I got the code above to work! (After lots of code reading and tracing.) Note that the connectId expects an array (the ‘[' ']‘) and I used the ‘label’ property rather than ‘caption’ There is also an ‘innerHTML’ property that seems to be similar to the ‘label’. I don’t know what versions we are working with, but incompatible changes like this in the Dojo base are pretty bad.

In line 5 of the second set of code, I think that is ‘document.body.appendChild’ attachChild. (it is correct in the third set of code.

I can’t find dojo.widget.createWidget in Dojo versions 1.1.1 or 1.3. I assume that something like ‘new dijit.Tooltop(…)’ would be appropriate?

In any event, I can’t get it to work, the widget is created, a appears in the DOM, but it contains no content and doesn’t work.

Adam- I totally agree it doesn’t win an award for speed or resource consumption, but it is more concise and less verbose than a switch statement. For the particular project in which this was used, performance definitely wasn’t key and I just thought it was an interesting way to match values. However, performance is definitely a consideration with a site like, oh, ping.fm for example.

Thanks for the comment!

List is a costly type to use. I would use a switch statement:

string status = “ww”;

switch (status)
{
case “ww”:
case “r”:
case “bw”:
case “nb”:
case “qb”:
case “nt”:
//do something here
break;
default:
//else
break;
}

Dude this looks like the start of a really good blog. I agree Safari does look hot off the shelf. I think it’s time to upgrade my Powerbook.
