(kerowo, i'm looking in your direction particularly. you're on the right-side-up part of the world now and everything.)

Crap, I'm not going to have the money this year and we're hiking up Grays the next weekend so I'll definitely be walking uphill somewhere that weekend.

I have a settings menu that lets you turn on or off different settings. I'm wondering how I should convey this information to the classes that need it. Should I have public static bools? I'm in c# right now, so maybe make turning a setting on or off fire an event that each relevant class would subscribe to? That seems more OOP but it also seems like a lot of code when 4 public static bools would do the job... ideas? err, instead of bools I guess I mean properties so that it can be readonlyish by other classes.

RyanB, here's how I might go about it:

Code:

public class UserSettings
{
    public bool emailMe { get; set; }
    public bool rememberMe { get; set; }
    public bool autoLogout { get; set; }
    public string profileBackgroundColour { get; set; }

    public UserSettings(int userID)
    {
        using (var db = new DataContext())
        {
            var q = (from c in db.tblUserSettings where c.UserID == userID select c).SingleOrDefault();
            if(q!=null)
                LoadByRec(q);
        }
    }
    public UserSettings(tblUserSettings rec)
    {
        LoadByRec(rec);
    }
    private void LoadByRec(tblUserSettings rec)
    {
        emailMe = rec.emailMe;
        rememberMe = rec.rememberMe;
        autoLogout = rec.autoLogout;
        profileBackgroundColour = rec.profileBGColour;
    }
}

Then you can do something along the lines of:

Code:

var usersSettings = new UserSettings(loggedInUser.ID);
if (usersSettings.emailMe)
    SendEmail();

If you want it to do something when the value is changed, look at how getters and setters work:

http://bytes.com/topic/c-sharp/answe...tter-methods-c

So for example, when a new value is set the setter can update the DB, or whatever you want it to do.

Doesn't C# have properties as part of classes? Granted I only read about an inch and half of the 2 feet of C# books I picked up over the years but I seem to remember that.

What Gullanian posted includes the short hand for properties. However, the C# convention is to use UpperCamelCase instead of lowerCamelCase.

Thanks but what I mean is more along the lines of what do do inside of

Code:

if (usersSettings.emailMe)

For instance... this userSettings instance is going to be in a class, and other classes will need to know the value of it.
Say I have three classes that do three different things based on if a settings bool is true or false. When the user changes that setting from false to true, I'm wondering how I should convey that information to the classes that need the information. I was wondering about events or maybe just a public (i.e. globalish) property. Or what the "standard" or "good" thing to do in this situation is.

Also, is there such a thing as.... Say I want to pass two things to a function / method / whatever you call it that takes parameters. I kinda want to do something where the first thing passed is used in that function to do a check. If the check passes (is true), the second parameter is passed but if not dont bother passing it. So I guess I want to combine two functions (a "check" function and a "do" function) into one function. Is this possible? I am thinking that its not.

it depends on what you're trying to do. if you need something to happen immediately -- user clicks "black and white mode" and expects everything in the workspace to change colors -- you'd use some kind of event listener. i don't know how c# works but generally your classes "subscribe" to some event. when that event happens, a method is called on each of your classes (this is an example of a "callback"). these methods are where you implement the behavior (set bg=black; set fg=white).

if it's a setting like sendEmail, you don't need all this. you just check it whenever the thing happens where you might send an email:

Code:

if badThingHappened:
  reportToUser(badThing)

def reportToUser:
  statusBar = "Error: " + badThing
  log(badThing)
  if self.sendEmail:
    emailUser(badThing)

btw this:

is exactly the right thing to be thinking about here.

i don't understand why you would need to do this. can you give an example?

Okay thanks. And yeah my current program seems to be very heavy on events and subscribers. Coming from C++ this seems a little weird because you dont control the exact flow but at the same time it feels nice because you dont have to care. The main reason for asking my original question was the thought that 4 public static properties would take 4 lines of code, followed by if(CApp.Settings.Setting1)
do this()
in any class that needs it, where as with the events its like I have a bool in each class that is Setting1 (true or false) and I have a subscribing method that sets this individual method to true or false whenever the event fires, and then i do
if(CApp.Settings.Setting1)
do this()
Because I have a loop that happens in all my classes nonstop while the program is running, and what settings are on or off changes what happens in those loops, its not a one time done deal, they all would need their own "is setting1 on or off right now" during the loops.

So im kinda wondering if there is a cutoff line where the gain from events is outweighed by the limited amount of data or results that those events trigger (i.e setting one bool in the opposite status). I mean I made a Timer class that sends events to any subscribers when that timer has expired and I love it dont get me wrong events are cool but, wondering if public static properties are sometimes okay or if its always frowned upon.

in general, don't write your own Timer class

ok i think i finally understand what you want to do: you basically want global state.

i guess for something small or for interface things it could make sense, but basically it's a slippery slope and you're better off without it.

I dont know if it deserves its own thread and I tried searching, because its probably been asked before, but nothing turned up.

Is there a way for me to get Matlab to use a poker odds calculator - e.g. Pokerstove or ProPokerTools?
