What's an entity in entity framework? -


in tutorials im following learning entity framework, keep mentioning entities. see gets used synonym dbsets<> in database context class, what's literal meaning of it?

i know how entity framework works, dont understand meaning of word.

in entity framework entity largely equivalent class in conceptual model (or class model, mapped store model).

in domain model terms entity is

an object not defined attributes, rather thread of continuity , identity.

(source: wikipedia)

that quite mouthful "an object identity", opposed value object, datetime or (maybe) address. customer entity, because identified "who" is. 2 customers same name still 2 customers.

so entities can loosely defined "things" business domain about. things both customer/user , system designer/developer talk in ubiquitous language. , in ef things represented classes.

so it's not dbset. dbset repository provides entity objects.

i see people referring entities models. don't know origin of terminology (it seems happen coincidence), don't think it's correct. it's confusing. model in ef either store model or conceptual model, it's collection of entities. model can view model comprises number of attributes of number of entities.

linux - xterm copying to CLIPBOARD using copy-selection causes automatic updating of CLIPBOARD upon mouse selection -

i've tried various ways coerce xterm (versions 285 , 292) copy selection clipboard clipboard whenever press ctrl-shift-c. promising way far has been, in ~/.xresources, put this: xterm*vt100.translations: #override \ ctrl shift <keypress> c: copy-selection(clipboard) \n\ ctrl shift <keypress> v: insert-selection(clipboard) ctrl-shift-v works perfectly, copying has nuance... if restart xterm, highlighting text puts things in primary clipboard; expected, proper, default behavior. if hit ctrl-shift-c, copies current selection clipboard clipboard. the bug, however, if highlight text after first time pressed ctrl-shift-c, you'll see highlighting copies both primary and clipboard. cannot figure out how stop xterm updating clipboard upon selection... , doesn't make sense me in first place. i said, @ specific point in time, copy selection clipboard... yet starts updating automatically upon selection after doing once... anyone have workaround...

c++ - qgraphicsview horizontal scrolling always has a vertical delta -

Image
i've subclassed qgraphicsview custom canvas used in cad application. i've reimplemented qgraphicsview::wheelevent check keyboard modifiers control key and, if control key pressed, zoom. i'm trying implement horizontal scroll when user holds shift , uses wheel. the problem i'm having horizontal scrolling always scrolls 0.279. not huge problem, hugely annoying , points else being wrong. so, here questions: is right way implement horizontal scrolling? if not, is? how eliminate delta of 0.279? thanks in advance. code , sample output below void myview::zoom(int delta) { double factor = pow(1.2, delta/abs(delta)); this->scale(factor, factor); } void myview::scrollhorizontal(int level) { qpointf center = maptoscene(viewport()->rect().center()); qdebug() << "center: " << center.x() << ", " << center.y(); centeron(qpointf(center.x() - level, center.y())); } void myview::wheelevent(qwheeleve...
