Comment on Delaying File Processing & Uploading with DelayedJob and PaperClip by mattgrande

Hi Poul,

In order to modify the above example to handle several assets, I believe you would just need to loop through the assets.

In actuality, the above code does work with several assets. We’re using SWFUpload to upload multiple assets one at a time, and when they are uploaded they are sent to AssetsController’s create method.

I am currently unavailable for freelance work in any sort of extensive capacity. However, I may be able to answer some specific question you have. If you’d like, feel free to email me at matt.grande@gmail.com

Very useful post. Thank you.

I am wondering how this might vary in my situation where I have a “Thing” model with a one to many relationship with an “Asset” model. The Asset model has the paperclip attachments. So each Thing might have several Assets (attachments) associated with it.

I would be interested in potentially hiring you on a free-lance basis to modify this example for the scenario I describe above. How would I contact you to discuss?

Thanks for the input. Why do you feel it sucks? Can you suggest a better alternative.

Comment on Solving Multiple Inheritance in C# 3.0 by mattgrande

Hi Marcel,

The ‘this’ keyword at the class level does essentially the same thing as it does at the method level. It specifies that the class never needs to be invoked to call its methods.

You’ll notice that the namespace that DynamicListControlExtension is defined in is included in the class for DynamicDropDownList. This allows you to use “this.DoYourStuff()” rather than “DynamicListControlExtension.DoYourStuff().”

Hope this helps,
- Matt.

I didn’t realize that you could use the ‘this’ keyword in a function parameter, as in the static method. What does that actually do?

well, I don’t know about you, but I process 5.4 million strings at least twice a second. So I guess that means that if I apply your theory, not only would I save time, I might be able to gain time and somehow create a time machine.

Thanks for these benchmarks. This has been something I’ve wondered about for a while.
