I was just wondering if we can have a nested stores, similar to nested models in Extjs4.
i am thinking this just because, i have a 10 drop downs and 10 grids which uses the same model. hence i have 10 stores for drop down and 10 stores for grid.
among 10 drop down stores, 2 dropdown will make a ajax call to retrieve the data from server and other stores will use the response data of above 2 and load their independent store using the response. similar applies to grid also.
So is this the right approach.? and any disadvantage of having multiple stores(about 20 :O) on the same page.
Kindly suggest. :)
Small Update to Clear my question.
i am not referring as nested stores because it is reffering to same model. in Extjs4 we can have a single ABCModel.js and define many components which exted Model. Hence to clear my question again, I have 10 stores(ie.,, 10 .js files) and 10 grids (again 10.js files for stores). So is this the right approach or can we push all these under single .js file.
Thanks

It's not really "nested" stores... The fact that they are using same model has nothing to do with nested.
I would not worry about number of stores on the page more then I would worry about number of grids for example. Stores in your case would just play role of arrays for data.
Load two (or four) stores from the server, and then create local copies for other controls. You won't be able to use same store object for different controls if they show different set of data. What you need to do is to filter one store and create a clone of result in the other store object. And since you basically need only one or two fields in these local stores - you might want to create a simple model ([id, name] or something like that).

I am taking a database design class and for a project want to make a database of my mom's digital photos for her. I haven't dealt in application up to this point, only theory, but I have Access. Therefore, ideal answers don't suggest non-database solutions and don't assume I know much about actual database implementation. Solutions specific to Access could also be a plus. I hope that precursor saves some time and effort.
Theoretically, my mom wants to see all photos of pets from '05-'07 in raw format, and she enters an appropriate query. I suspect I can handle it up to there. However, at the moment, the best I can figure out to do is to return a column of either attachments or OLE objects. 5 clicks per photo is not ideal. I need a faster way to present the images. Opening them all in a grid of thumbnails or as a one-click-slide-show would seem the natural fit, but whatever works. How can I accomplish this?
Less important but worth consideration is the fact that, at some point, it would be great if this same type of system could be implemented on the internet for all of the family reunion photos she has taken, but I will take what I can get.
Use one form to get parameters for the query. then use another form(more processing) or report(if printing) to show the selected pictures. I will not cover passing parameters but here are some links.
https://www.fmsinc.com/microsoftaccess/forms/openargs/index.htm
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/access/concepts/forms-design/apply-a-filter-when-opening-a-form-or-report
There is a complication, in Access pictures are usually stored in the attachment type. the attachment column can hold many pictures in each record. So if we have a table called Pictures with an attachment type column also called Pictures, then each individual picture is actually stored under Pictures.Pictures.FileData.
So to display the picture query we use a form/report with default view set to Continuous Forms (displays many records or in this case pictures on the same page) then in the details section of our Display form we place an attachment control and bind that control to our filtered Pictures.FileData.
Format and add functionality to taste.
I'm very new into Qlik sense and I want to know if this is possible. So I did a data connection load to load a data into QVD objects (for example 60 tables of districts). When editing a sheet, is it possible to create a list that displays all districts and, when i click on a district, it will load that District table (object) which will expand more graphs that associate to that table? I hope this make sense. Please let me know if i should revise it.
If I understand correctly. You want to load new data when some condition is met (in your case when on district value is selected) right?
If this is the case then I think that you can use Dynamic Views.
Dynamic Views allow you to load specific objects from a template app. So the workflow will be:
prepare template app with all the objects that can be used in another apps. Including the script with placeholders where the selections will be passed
in your main app - include these objects and set a threshold (in your case will be something like count(distinct District) = 1
make selection in the District filed
if the threshold is reached Qlik will pass the selections to the template app, it will reload it and the objects will be populated (how fast the objects will be populated depends on the script reload time of the template app)
Documentation
Video demonstration
P.S.0 Just to mention that Dynamic Views are "subset" of On-Demand App Generation (ODAG). The difference here is that ODAG will produce a new temporary app (again based on the template app) that the user can interact with and dispose whenever is needed (or Qlik will delete if after some specified time)
P.S.1 If your data is not too big and you can allow yourself to load all the data for all Districts then you can use calculation condition for the charts that require only one District to be selected
This one is making me crasy : I have an EF model built upon a database that contains a table named Category with 6 rows in it.
I want to display this in a drop down list in WPF, so I need to bind it to the Categories.Local Observable collection.
The problem is that this observable collection never receives the content of the database table. My understanding is that the collection should get in sync with the database when performing a query or saving data with SaveChanges() So I ran the followin 2 tests :
Categories = _db.Categories.Local;
// test 1
Debug.WriteLine(_db.Categories.Count());
Debug.WriteLine(_db.Categories.Local.Count());
// test 2
_categories.Add(new Category() { CategoryName = "test" });
_db.SaveChanges();
Debug.WriteLine(_db.Categories.Count());
Debug.WriteLine(_db.Categories.Local.Count());
Debug.WriteLine(_categories.Count());
The test 1 shows 6 rows in the database, and 0 in local.
The test 2 shows 7 rows in the database, and 1 in local (both versions)
I also atempted to use _db.Category.Load() but as expected, it doesn't work because it is db first, not code first.
I also went through this page https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj574514(v=vs.113).aspx, created an object-based data source and linked my combo box to it, without success.
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
Thank you in advance for your help.
The DbSet<T> class is IQueryable<T>, hence DbSet<T>.Count() method maps to Queryable.Count<T> extension method, which in turn is translated to SQL query and returns the count of the records in the database table without loading anything into db context local cache.
While DbSet<T>.Local simply gives you access to the local cache. It contains the entities that you added as well as the ones being loaded by query that returns T instances (or other entities referencing T via navigation property). In order to fully load (populate) the local cache, you need to call Load:
_db.Categories.Load();
The Load is a custom extension method defined in QueryableExtensions class, so you need to include
using System.Data.Entity;
in order to get access to it (as well as to typed Include, XyzAsync and many other EF extension methods). The Load method is equivalent of ToList but without overhead of creating additional list.
Once you do that, the binding will work. Please note that the Local will not reflect changes made to the database through different DbContext instances or different applications/users.
Sorry if my question is silly but I'm new to DNN/2sxc, I've spent the whole day trying to figure this with no success..
I have two instances of the same app, one in the home page and the other on its own page, each one must have its own view template (I use Razor).
My problem is I cannot figure a way to make the two apps read the same data, so every add/edit/remove/re-sort in one of them will be reflected to the other, currently each app has its own data and therefore they are unusable in my case.
I've tried to use a 'EntityTypeFilter' inside a 'Data Query' and use it in both views (as in the News-Simple demo video), it worked and gave me all the items in the two views, but another two problems come with this solution:
1- now I'm unable to use the toolbar to (add/remove/reorder,.. etc) any of the items , as you can see in this image, which is a show-stopper for me,
note: this is the toolbar I use:
#foreach(var item in AsDynamic(Data["Default"]))
{
...
#Edit.Toolbar(target: item, actions: "new,edit,replace,remove,moveup,movedown,instance-list")
2- the 'Content Demo Item' is also visible in the list, but it is not that important since I can delete it and use one of the real data items as a demo item.
I appreciate any kind of help.
Thank you.
So the first thing you should know is the difference when using content-items as data (to query, etc.) and when using it as assigned-items (where each module-instance has a subset of items). Here's the blog that should help you understand the difference: http://2sxc.org/en/blog/post/12-differences-when-templating-data-instead-of-content
So when you want the "manually and easily control the exact items displayed, their ordering etc." you want to use the "content-assigned-to-instance" which also gives you the simple add, delete buttons, as these don't really delete anything, but just remove the assignment from the module-instance.
Now your case is a bit special, in that you want to re-use the exact same set in another module-instance. There are a few ways you can do this:
Same View
if it's exactly the same view etc. just duplicate the module using DNN-features (the add-existing-module-to-another page)
different view
if it's a different view (maybe more compact, etc.) you again have multiple options. The first is to mirror / duplicate using the dnn-feature, and just put an if-im-on-this-page-then-show-differently or inject another CSS. That's probably the easiest without any dev-know-how.
The harder, but possibly nicer way, is to actually to use a new template, and tell it to retrieve the items in the way they are configured in the other module - let's say module 1 is the original, module 2 has a different template wanting to access the items of module 1 in exactly the same order as given in 1. They way to do this is simple, but requires a few lines of C# code in Module 2.
You need to create a new ModuleDataSource (https://2sxc.org/en/Docs/Feature/feature/4542) object and tell it that it's from Module 1. If you've never done this, it's basically that your code can create a query just like the visual designer, but you have more control - see the wiki https://github.com/2sic/2sxc/wiki/DotNet-DataSources-All. The Module-Data-Source in the visual-query-designer doesn't allow you to "switch" modules (a advanced setting we may add in the future) but the object has a ModuleId property which you can set before accessing the data, making it "switch" to that Module. here's the Pseudo code in your Module#2 razor...
var otherModData = CreateSource<ModuleDataSource>();
otherModData.ModuleId = 1;
foreach(var itm in AsDynamic(otherModData["Default"])) {
...
}
That should do it :)
I am looking at a different way of doing my application.
Actually It's kind of static. My Projects have Categories. Each Category has Subcategories. Categories are containers and Subcategories are element which have values that can be edited.
After analysis of the data , we saw that it was not enough general for it. We are now looking at a Tree Structure. Doing so, we would have Projects filled with Folders/Categories) and those Folders would be filled with other Category/Folders or with SubCategories/Items/Files. That way we can go has deep has we want in complexity.
That is doable, I know it. What I need to know is how hard it will be to implement it in the app.views...
Is it possible to have a single Ext.DataView.dataview display different Ext.DataView.component.DataItem side by side.
Exemple : Having a row in my List that shows a slider and update itself according to it, but that on the 2nd row it is an arrow that on click would open the next level of my Tree.
Visual:
DataView_List
Small Car---------------------------Label------------------------SLIDER
Fuel----------------------------------Label------------------------------ >
SUV----------------------------------Label------------------------TxtField
Small Car and SUV are leaves with different template and Fuel is a category/folder that need to open on click.
So I already have 3 differents templates that would need to show in the same dataview list.
How should I proceed to achieve such results? Is Dataview List the way to good or should I implement my own kind of list inside a container?
If you want to present different kinds of data inside one list or dataview - you can achieve by following strategy:
You still need to use one store to keep it all
In the model class include something like 'record_type' field indicating what kind of data you have
Combine all data you need into one model
Create a template that based on the 'record_type' would render different content
Here is how your template would look like:
<tpl switch="record_type">
<tpl case="car">
<div>CAR + SLIDER</div>
<tpl case="fuel">
<div>FUEL + LABEL</div>
<tpl default">
</tpl>
This is screenshot from my list which contains multiple record types and uses this approach:
