Hey everyone, I'm the new CodeProject contest manager. We were throwing around a few ideas for our next challenge - something quick and easy - and we came up with the Summer Fun With Arduino[^] challenge. So here we go, June is Arduino month! Entry is simple and you get to make something with flashy lights. We're giving away $5000 in prizes. Give it a shot!

Certainly, any IoT related Article is acceptable.

I'm very glad to see the IoT contest again this year (and looks even better this year).
Thanks for all the great stuff at CP.
Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

I've already begun work on the first challenge. It's a lot of fun.

Welcome, Jovita,

I am sure you are a flower, as well as someone who will be an excellent gardener ! Smile | :)

cheers, Bill

nice to meet you and welcome to the big "family" of CP.

See you around

Speaking of dumbing down...

I just wrote this. It works, exactly as it's supposed to.

Common.Initialize<TaxCode>(
    dxgTaxCodes,                                
    tc => !tc.Archived,                         
    archiveController.OnTaxCodeDeleted,         
    archiveController.OnTaxCodeChanging,        
    onFinalized: (_, __) =>                     
    Common.Initialize<Product>(             
        dxgProducts,                            
        p => !p.Archived,                       
        archiveController.OnProductDeleted,     
        archiveController.OnProductChanging,    
        updateLookups: true,                    
        decoupledLookups: true,                 
        onFinalized: (___, ____) => Common.Initialize<ProductSchedule>(
            dxgProductSchedules,                
            p => !p.Archived,                   
            updateLookups: true,                
            decoupledLookups: true)));

Here's the code with comments:

Common.Initialize<TaxCode>(
    dxgTaxCodes,                                // Initialize the tax code grid
    tc => !tc.Archived,                         // with non-archived tax codes
    archiveController.OnTaxCodeDeleted,         // archive tax codes that are deleted
    archiveController.OnTaxCodeChanging,        // archive tax codes that are changing
    onFinalized: (_, __) =>                     // when the tax code record has been updated...
    Common.Initialize<Product>(             
        dxgProducts,                            // we need to refresh the products with the cloned 
                                                // (non-archived) version
        p => !p.Archived,                       // which is not archived
        archiveController.OnProductDeleted,     // and when the product is deleted, archive it
        archiveController.OnProductChanging,    // or when the product is changed, archive it
        updateLookups: true,                    // force a fetch of any new lookups 
                                                // (ie, the tax code, which is a lookup)
        decoupledLookups: true,                 // but don't couple this with the cached tax code
                                                // table that's a lookup in product grid
        onFinalized: (___, ____) => Common.Initialize<ProductSchedule>(
            dxgProductSchedules,                // and when a product record is updated,
                                                // update the product-schedule grid
            ps => !ps.Archived,                 // with active product-schedules
            updateLookups: true,                // forcing a fetch of lookups (products and schedules)
            decoupledLookups: true)));          // and decoupled from the cached product and
                                                // schedule tables backing the product and
                                                // schedule grids.

(I hope the formatting got preserved.)

OK, yeah, this is a bit much. Laugh | :laugh:
