ExtJS 4.0 - Class system, object inheritance and config

Recently we've started using the new Ext-JS 4.0 class system.

one of the obstacles I came across with was using the configuration while making inheritance.

On most of the examples in the web - it works seamlessly perfect.
but what happens when you try to extend an existing object?
for example, 'Ext.panel.Panel' ?

Suddenly - weird stuff happens and it doesn't work any longer.

So for example:
Ext.define('ProductionMap.popup.serverExplorer', {
extend: 'Ext.panel.Panel',

config: {
ParameterConfig: '',
},

constructor: function (cfg) {
this.initConfig(config);
return this;
},

initComponent: function () {
...
}


will give an error.
took me an hour to figure it out - but I found the solution and it's REALLY simple.
It's all about the constructor:
instead of that code, use:

constructor: function (cfg) {
this.initConfig(config);
this.callParent([config]);
return this;
},


and kaboom - works like a charm :)

pip install pymssql fails with 'sqlfront.h': No such file or directory

I've tried to install pymssql on Windows using command line: pip install pymssql The operation fails with an error: fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'sqlfront.h': No such file or directory while looking for a solution, the first results  are not really helpful, until you arrive to this helpful one . In short: I was using python version 3.6, which currently isn't supported with pymssql. Using python 3.5 instead solves that issue, and the  pip install pymssql runs well. If you're using Anaconda Navigator , it is made even simpler: In the Environment section, you can add a new environment with your choice of python version. When you're choosing a supported version - 3.5 for example - you will find the pymssql in the packages list and install it from there directly.

ASP.NET 2.0 with MySQL 4.1.2 - unicode problem

Hey guys This is my first post and the reason i've actually started this blog. you see, it's now 3:00 AM here but i could not get sleep until I share this with the world :) during the last few days i struggled connecting MySQL database, version 4.1.2, through my ASP.NET application (using SubSonic DAL btw - great project, thanks guys!), and sending unicode utf-8 format data. The problem was that when I tried saving data (Insert or Update SQL Commands) i got question marks ('?????') saved instead of unicode characters, like hebrew for example. I've looked up at all the forums and I have tried everything. I mean really - EVERYTHING. For example, I've read that I should send, right after I'm establishing the connection, SET NAMES utf8 COLLATE 'utf8_unicode_ci'; SET CHARACTER SET utf8; So I've tried that... but no good, still got the question marks. I've downloaded the connector code and recompiled it. tried to see what does it sends. The ASP C...

C#, Entity Framework, WCF and JSON serialization

Ever tried to serialize Entity Framework with WCF? Have you tried it with the Lazy-Initialization feature? And how about the Proxy Creation Enabled? There's a problem of circular reference if one table is referencing another table - which referencing the first one. We have had a great deal of problems with it. We even tried to consult an external expert of Entity Framework who simply told us it's impossible to serialize it on WCF. oh darn... :( We tried many solutions before we gave up: like that one: http://geekswithblogs.net/danemorgridge/archive/2010/05/04/entity-framework-4-wcf-amp-lazy-loading-tip.aspx and that: http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/gilf/archive/2011/10/17/avoiding-circular-reference-for-entity-in-json-serialization.aspx We even used t4templates to create a whole new set of flattened objects (!!!) But it doesn't really make life easier as one has to load separately each and every object. But this was not what we were looking for. We needed a solution that...
