vb.net - refactoring a field into a property -

-

i learning vb.net new job , have mixed feelings on public fields. see many arguments them hurting encapsulation. in python, common practice keep things simple , use fields when enough. if want add logic later, refactor them property without breaking client code.

in codebase working see huge classes containing dozen of properties like:

private __getdescriptionmode boolean <defaultvalue(false)> _  public property getdescriptionmode() boolean             getdescriptionmode = __getdescriptionmode     end     set(byval value boolean)         __getdescriptionmode = value     end set end property

that's 10 lines of code little value inside. can barely see 3 of them in visual studio window. have 2 questions:

  • is there valid reason not define fields , refactor them properties when needed?
  • are oop principle important sacrifice readability? (i can @ fewer things, have parse property make sure are'nt doing special, etc)

edit clarify first question: have chance of breaking client code if change field trivial property?

it idea create properties rather fields.

  • you can break client code if change public field public property.
  • you can use data-binding properties.
  • fields can't used in interfaces
  • you break binary serialization code if change public field public property.
  • if using reflection, changing field property later break reflection code.

in visual basic 2010 , later, use auto-properties 

public property getdescriptionmode boolean

on website user have 1 group. , user can change group. it's made user.groups.clear() and user.groups.add(new_group) but it's not efficient, because there 2 sql query: delete, insert. how can change group update query? user , group related each other using manytomanyfield . means intersection table exists relating both entities, , if don't specify model map (using through attribute) django creates 1 you. looking @ sources django.contrib.auth.models see that's case. fortunatly, can access intermediary model using through attribute of manager (in case, user.groups.through ). can use regular model. example: >>> alice = user.objects.create_user('alice', 'alice@example.com', 'alicepw') >>> employee = group.objects.create(name='employee') >>> manager = group.objects.create(name='manager') >>> alice.groups.add(employee) >>> alice.groups.all() [<group: employee...

i need set custom soap header attribute on jax-ws generated webservice client. case webservice calls must go through proxy server requiring specific token (recieved web request header) present in soap request header. e.g.: 1 carserviceservice service = null; 2 service = new carserviceservice(new url(url), new qname(qname); 3 carserviceendpoint port = service.getcarserviceport(); it seems in line 3 wsdl retrieved , call fails due missing security token. 1 point direction on how done? a detailed example has been mentioned here: creating , deploying jax-ws web service on tomcat 6 this article shows how create , use security token .
