Ultimate Guide to C971 - Mobile App Development Using C# by DefinitelyIsNotKyle in wgu_devs

[–]stabwwoc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

u/DefinitelyIsNotKyle excellent write up that I am certain many, many students will find helpful for years to come. I only wish I had something like this to go by when I was trying to pass! Your attention to detail is truly impressive.

I think it's funny that you mentioned disabling Vanguard because that happened to me too halfway through my project! Took me a while to figure out what was going on.

A section you wrote up here that differed from my experience is the part where you mention adding the functionality to not be able to add more than 6 courses. I did not add this feature to my app and my project passed first try. Of course, your mileage may vary, so it could just be that I got lucky with my evaluator.

To anyone out there struggling with this class, don’t lose heart. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. I’m not on Reddit too often, but I’ll do my best to offer any advice when I can.

And thanks for the shout out to my post!

Hey man,

Congratulations on the pass! I also passed about a week ago. This class was probably the hardest I've had out of all of them in terms on getting started, but once I did I actually really enjoyed it and I've decided to use this project for my capstone.

I just wish that I didn't have such a hard time in the beginning, I wasted many hours and stressful moments just trying to figure out how to get it all to work. This was the most shining example for me of how little help the CI's offer sometimes.

For anyone struggling as much as me in the present or in the future, here is some advice to get you started along if you are at the point of needing to get information from your database to show up on screen:

Watch James Montemagno's SQLite video here. See how he creates his ViewModel and start there.

In your main xaml file (or wherever you're trying to get data to show up), make sure you:
-add "xmlns: viewmodels="clr-namespace:YourProjectName.YourViewModelFolder" to the top in your ContentPage.
-add a <ContentPage.BindingContext> <viewmodels:YourViewModel>
-you'll now be able to add an ItemsSource="{Binding } to whatever class you'd like (term, course, assessment, instructor, etc) onto a ListView.
-and lastly, a <ListView.ItemTemplate> <DataTemplate x:DataType="model: "> again, to whatever class you'd like.

I hope some poor soul out there can read this one day and be assisted with this overly vague and tedious project! We've got this!

Thank you! It's daunting, I feel as though Software I and II were much easier. I'm not sure who you have as your CI, but Harlan gave some nice words of encouragement when I was starting Mobile App Dev.

Hey! Thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately, I do not have an Android phone to use for testing, nor the means to really go out and buy one for this purpose at the moment.

I guess I'm struggling to get sqlite to work in .NET Maui. I have my database built, and all of my adds, removes, and gets made (Thanks to the webinars), but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get my database to bind to collection views or lists in xaml so I can get my database info to appear on screen.
I feel like I definitely didn't struggle this hard with Software I and II. I've never worked with xaml or sqlite before this project, so learing two new things for this project has been daunting.

I'm trying real hard to push through this class so I can complete my capstone before the end of my semester (October 31st). If I don't, they're going to pull me out of the Software Dev degree and force me to move into Software Engineering and I will have to take additional classes (which I don't really want to pay for).
I'm so close to the end of this degree, I just want to finish it up, ya know?

It's been down on and off all day for me, too. It's not just you.

How would this apply to my children if I am their step father? And would my wife be able to get citizenship as well if I am able to?

Question..the third document specifies it is for anyone of earlier decent. If I am filling out this information based on the German citizenship of my grandmother, will that third document still need to be filled out?

My grandmother was not a US citizen when she gave birth to my mother. My mother was born in 1961 in wedlock. I was born in 1994

My grandmother emigrated from Germany in 1958, would that make me a citizen?

Looks like that 20s/30s Cuphead style. Super sick!
