Although Archedius’s method works, officially it is deprecated and instead recommended way to programmatically create a template is to load XAML from a string or a memory stream using the Load method of the XamlReader class like this… public DataTemplate Create(Type type) { StringReader stringReader = new StringReader( @”<DataTemplate xmlns=””http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation””> <” + type.Name + @” … Read more
Everyone is correct in the use of @Html.Raw() but I want to point out to be careful with this, as it can make your site susceptible to XSS vulnerabilities. I would combine the @Html.Raw(ViewBag.SomeMessage) with Microsoft’s Anti-XSS Library to make sure you do not introduce any vulnerabilities from this. Edit: The advantage of the Anti-XSS … Read more
You could try the NuGet package GoogleMaps.LocationServices, or just spin of its source code. It uses Google’s REST API to get lat/long for a given address and vice versa, without the need for an API key. You use it like this: public static void Main() { var address = “Stavanger, Norway”; var locationService = new … Read more
Use SelectMany: public static IEnumerable<T> Concatenate<T>(params IEnumerable<T>[] lists) { return lists.SelectMany(x => x); }
The fact that it’s XML is basically irrelevant. You can save any text to a file very simply with File.WriteAllText: File.WriteAllText(“foo.xml”, xml); Note that you can also specify the encoding, which defaults to UTF-8. So for example, if you want to write a file in plain ASCII: File.WriteAllText(“foo.xml”, xml, Encoding.ASCII);
Here is another way to format floating point numbers as you need it: string.Format(“{0:F1}”,6.33);
You can use regex groups to accomplish that. For example, this regex: (\d\d\d)-(\d\d\d\d\d\d\d) Let’s match a telephone number with this regex: var regex = new Regex(@”(\d\d\d)-(\d\d\d\d\d\d\d)”); var match = regex.Match(“123-4567890”); if (match.Success) …. If it matches, you will find the first three digits in: match.Groups[1].Value And the second 7 digits in: match.Groups[2].Value P.S. In C#, … Read more
Views are not supposed to pull data from somewhere. They are supposed to use data that was passed to them in form of a view model from the controller action. So if you need to use such data in a view the proper way to do it is to define a view model: public class … Read more
Original Answer Use EnumWindows and enumerate through all the windows, using GetWindowText to get each window’s text, then filter it however you want. [DllImport(“user32.dll”, CharSet = CharSet.Unicode)] private static extern int GetWindowText(IntPtr hWnd, StringBuilder strText, int maxCount); [DllImport(“user32.dll”, CharSet = CharSet.Unicode)] private static extern int GetWindowTextLength(IntPtr hWnd); [DllImport(“user32.dll”)] private static extern bool EnumWindows(EnumWindowsProc enumProc, IntPtr … Read more
Because it breaks encapsulation — this is why most people use accessors heavily. However, if you think it’s the right solution for your task, ignore it (meaning the strict encapsulation complaints) and do what’s right for your project. Don’t let the OO nazis tell you otherwise.
