*yawn* Am at work today, hopefully i can get a descent amount done before people start coming in wanting help, usually gets busy around 1ish. If i dont fix my global class problem i'm make some lame hax fix (bad programming) for now and move onto my database connections and stored procedures.

Between working and trying to to fall asleep i have been working moreon my global class problem. I have implemented the Global.asax.cs file, but not the Global.asax. Will find out what i need to do there. Time to finish however and kick people out.

I fixed the problem i was having, i didnt reference the global.asax.vb file in the global.asax file. So the code behind wasnt being used, hence the lists not being instantiated. So it just needed to be inhertited: Inherits="Global"

9/5 Testing with crappy interface

_________________________________________________________
Start 10.30 a.m.
_________________________________________________________

Just making ugly forms.

Atm i am sorting out why my global class isn't working. I created a form to add details about a user, but i was getting an error:

"System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server was unable to process request. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

So what i guessed was that my global class wasnt instantiating a new list to access. What i did to test this theary was to change the code in the addUser service:

clsUserList userList = new clsUserList();
userList.newUser(prStaffID, prFirstName, prLastName, prJobDescription);

Instantiating the list in the service worked fine, so i believe i have to fix my global class now....

Finish ?? 5 hours

Was baby sitting at night, was very tired so havent solved my global class problem yet.

8/5 Webservice, testing... hopefully

_________________________________________________________
Start 1.30 p.m.
_________________________________________________________

Had project meeting which was quick, i just outlined that at the moment i am apprehensive about this implementation being done by next thursday. It can either go one way or the other depending on how my testing goes over the next few days. So what ive done is organised a meeting for monday, so not too much partying this weekend... I will need to have a fairly good idea where i am at by then.

From 2.30 onwards i am going to be working on my project management class as i am falling behind, as much as i just want to focus on my project i really want a good mark in this subject as well. So i'll be doing that until my class at 5, then at 7 i will have short tea break getting home.. lol then get straight into what i want to achieve tonight which will hopefully be:

• Publish webservice
• Create very basic interface app to connect to service and grab data from the lists
• Add the database functionality to my webservice, have to connect the the stored procedures in the tracking database

Hopefully if i get all this done and it works... *crosses fingers* then i can move onto validation, user authentication and security :S

_________________________________________________________
End 11.00 p.m. 6 hoursish
_________________________________________________________

Have sorted out web server, and web service etc, started making the interface... time to sleep early tonight and carry on with everything else i wanted to do tomorrow.

7/5 Coding pt ummm?

Start 9.00 a.m.
_________________________________________________________

Just been coding all day, went to visit Alliyahh and got some help with some C#, she pointed out a few handy things, thanks! So hopefully tonight i'll have alot of coding done, either tonight or tomorow i'll put up the latest UML diagram.

OK, i ended up getting alot of programming done, below is the latest UML diagram actually showing what i have done. Basically whats different from last time is that ive added in all the adding, deleting, and updating of the lists from the service. I also added a global class to hold the references of the lists. The reason i added this in is because each time a user goes to grab the list, a new list would be created, and we only want one main list that everyone, updates, selects, adds and deletes from. So by delcaring a global variable for the application to access, and on start of application instantiating a new list right away and filling it, we will avoid this problem and only allow one list to be created on service start up. :D

6/5 More Coding

_________________________________________________________
Start 11.00 a.m.
_________________________________________________________

Just carrying on with the coding. Not really feeling all that confident about it, programming has always been my weak point. We shall see, i will make more comments tomorrow night about how I'm feeling about my progress.
