Set all grid rows to auto xamarin - xaml

Pretty simple question. I have a grid with over 10 rows. I want all rows to be set to auto, without having 10 separate RowDefinitions. I checked the documentation and it doesn't seem like there's a build in way to do so. How can I do this, or is having a row definition for each row necessary?

I think you need to define all the rows. All the examples in the official documentation envolve defining the row and its Sizing Strategy.

How to delete multiple rows in for wxDataviewCtrl and wxDataViewVirtualListModel

I am using the wxDataviewCtrl and wxDataViewVirtualListModel to show the a long list of data, the wxDataViewVirtualListModel has 3 wxArrayString to store the data.
Currently when I want to delete a row, I will delete the data in 3 wxArrayString and call RowDelete(row) to notify the wxDataViewCtrl.
However, when I want to delete hundreds of rows I need to use a loop to delete them which is very slow.
How can I delete multiple rows faster?
Thank you
Sorry to dig up an old thread, but this pops to the top of the search, and I may have a solution that will help. The wxDataView example doesn't exactly show how to clear the entire list. Here is how I did it, and it seems very fast:
In your derived wxDataViewVirtualListModel class, add a function to clear all the column data out of your model. Like this:
void Clear(){
m_myDescriptionColValues.clear();
m_myNumberColValues.clear();
m_myFooColValues.clear();
Reset(0); // This is like DeleteRows(), but better.
}
In the wxDataView sample, this would go in the MyListModel class. Call this function when you want to clear out the model and repopulate the control with fresh data. It's really fast in my program with several hundred items.
At the very least, you should use a single RowsDeleted() call instead of multiple RowDeleted(). You could also use a more efficient representation than 3 parallel arrays, although I seriously doubt it's the bottleneck for just a few hundreds of rows -- but as usual, you need to profile to find out whether this is really [not] the case.

Pig: how to loop through all fields/columns?

I'm new to Pig. I need to do some calculation for all fields/columns in a table. However, I can't find a way to do it by searching online. It would be great if someone here can give some help!
For example: I have a table with 100 fields/columns, most of them are numeric. I need to find the average of each field/column, is there an elegant way to do it without repeat AVERAGE(column_xxx) for 100 times?
If there's just one or two columns, then I can do
B = group A by ALL;
C = foreach B generate AVERAGE(column_1), AVERAGE(columkn_2);
However, if there's 100 fields, it's really tedious to repeatedly write AVERAGE for 100 times and it's easy to have errors.
One way I can think of is embed Pig in Python and use Python to generate a string like that and put into compile. However, that still sounds weird even if it works.
Thank you in advance for help!
I don't think there is a nice way to do this with pig. However, this should work well enough and can be done in 5 minutes:
Describe the table (or alias) in question
Copy the output, and reorgaize it manually into the script part you need (for example with excel)
Finish and store the script
If you need to be able with columns that can suddenly change etc. there is probably no good way to do it in pig. Perhaps you could read it in all columns (in R for example) and do your operation there.

How to use metadata or have sql recall column width on a fixed width .txt file import

Ill preface this by stating that I have searched and searched and have yet to find my answer.
Long story short, I have a .txt file of around 1.5mm rows and 200 columns. The columns are all set fixed width that I ahve a metadata file for. I get a new file about every 6 months and have been entering the column widths manually. I am trying to figure out a way for sql to recall the widths or how to load the metadata so I can set it to that. The manual process is tedious and time consuming.
It is highly possible that I am just searching the wrong keywords. Any advice would be great but guidance of where I can read and learn about this process would be better(still sort of a beginner here).
thanks
you have to use
BULK INSERT TableA FROM '{inputfilename}'
WITH FORMATFILE = '{xmlformatfile}'

Solr sort different criteria for each subset

We are using Apache SOLR for full text search. We have specific requirement for sorting the search results - basically when querying for data, we need 2 sets of data - A and B, but each set should have its own sorting criteria and we cannot make 2 different calls. We can get 2 sets by using an OR condition, but how do we sort each set differently ? To illustrate, if :
Set A = {3,1,2}
Set B = {8,5,9}
So, the expected response can have set A returned in ascending order {1,2,3} but the set B can be returned in descending order {9,8,5}
I believe the default sort in SOLR will sort the entire results sets. Any suggestions or if the question is not clear,let me know.
You can possibly achieve this using FieldCollapsing
You might need to do a little more work - i.e. have a display order field(could be an integer) so that Solr knows one field that it needs to sort by.
Next you could use a query like this -
&q=*&group=true&group.field=set&group.sort=display_order
I would recommend keeping the logic such as this out of Solr, it isn't meant to be a substitute for Relational Databases, and getting it to do complex SQL like operation (while some are possible) is going to be tricky.
By the way there is an open issue in Solr's JIRA that addresses batch processing of multiple queries. Which means, when it is merged into a release, you could fire n different queries to fetch these sets in one call to Solr.
If you are keen to have SOLR perform this task for you, the patch is available in the JIRA card, you could create a build for yourself and let us all know how it goes :)

Bind Top 5 Values of a To-Many Core Data Relationship to Text Fields

I am making an application that represents a cell phone bill using Core Data. I have three entities: Bill, Line, and Calls. Bills can have many lines, and lines can have many calls. All of this is set up with relationships. Right now, I have a table view that displays all of the bills. When you double click on a bill, a sheet comes down with a popup box that lists all of the lines on the bill. Below the popup box is a box that has many labels that display various information about that line. Below that information I want to list the top 5 numbers called by that line in that month. Lines has a to-many relationship with Calls, which has two fields, number and minutes. I have all of the calls for the selected line loaded into an NSArrayController with a sort descriptor that properly arranges the values. How do I populate 5 labels with the top 5 values of this array controller?
EDIT: The array of calls is already unique, when I gather the data, I combine all the individual calls into total minutes per number for each month. I just need to sort and display the first 5 records of this combined array.
I may be wrong (and really hope I am), but it looks like you'll need to use brute force on this one. There are no set / array operators that can help, nor does NSPredicate appear to help.
I think this is actually a bit tricky and it looks like you'll have to do some coding. The Core Data Programming Guide says:
If you execute a fetch directly, you
should typically not add
Objective-C-based predicates or sort
descriptors to the fetch request.
Instead you should apply these to the
results of the fetch. If you use an
array controller, you may need to
subclass NSArrayController so you can
have it not pass the sort descriptors
to the persistent store and instead do
the sorting after your data has been
fetched.
I think this applies to your case because it's important to consider whether sorting or filtering takes place first in a fetch request (when the fetch requests predicate and sort descriptors are set). This is because you'll be tempted to use the #distinctUnionOfObjects set/array operator. If the list is collapsed to uniques before sorting, it won't help. If it's applied after sorting, you can just set the fetch request's limit to 5 and there're your results.
Given the documentation, I don't know that this is how it will work. Also, in this case, it might be easier to avoid NSArrayController for this particular problem and just use NSTableViewDataSource protocol, but that's beyond the scope of this Q&A.
So, here's one way to do it:
Create a predicate to filter for the
selected bill's line items.*
Create a sort descriptor to sort the
line items by their telephone number
(which are hopefully in a
standardized format internally, else
trouble awaits) via #"call.number" in your case.
Create a fetch request for the line
item entity, with the predicate and
sort descriptors then execute it**.
With those sorted results, it would be nice if you could collapse and "unique" them easily, and again, you'll be tempted to use #distinctUnionOfObjects. Unfortunately, set/array operators won't be any help here (you can't use them directly on NSArray/NSMutableArray or NSSet/NSMutableSet instances). Brute force it is, then.
I'd create a topFive array and loop through the results, adding the number to topFive if it's not there already, until topFive has 5 items or until I'm out of results.
Displaying it in your UI (using Bindings or not) is, as I said, beyond the scope of this Q&A, so I'll leave it there. I'd LOVE to hear if there's a better way to do this - it's definitely one of those "looks like it should be easy but it's not" kind of things. :-)
*You could also use #unionOfObjects in your key path during the fetch itself to get the numbers of the calls of the line items of the selected bill, which would probably be more efficient a fetch, but I'm getting tired of typing, and you get the idea. ;-)
**In practice I'd probably limit the fetch request to something reasonable - some bills (especially for businesses and teenagers) can be quite large.
