This is a little code that allows you to send message to a backgrounded application. To send the “A” char for example, simply call sendKeystroke(Keys.A), and don’t forget to use namespace System.windows.forms to be able to use the Keys object. using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; using System.Windows.Forms; namespace keybound { … Read more
For what it’s worth, when this happened to me (in a project converted automatically from MVC2 to MVC3), all I had to do was add a project reference to Microsoft.CSharp. In my case the web.config already had the 4.0 references mentioned here, I assume courtesy of the upgrade script.
If you’re going to start a long-running task with TPL, you should specify TaskCreationOptions.LongRunning, which will mean it doesn’t schedule it on the thread-pool. (EDIT: As noted in comments, this is a scheduler-specific decision, and isn’t a hard and fast guarantee, but I’d hope that any sensible production scheduler would avoid scheduling long-running tasks on … Read more
DateTime is immutable. That means you cannot change it’s state and have to assign the result of an operation to a variable. endDate = endDate.AddDays(addedDays);
public static bool DoesPropertyExist(dynamic settings, string name) { if (settings is ExpandoObject) return ((IDictionary<string, object>)settings).ContainsKey(name); return settings.GetType().GetProperty(name) != null; } var settings = new {Filename = @”c:\temp\q.txt”}; Console.WriteLine(DoesPropertyExist(settings, “Filename”)); Console.WriteLine(DoesPropertyExist(settings, “Size”)); Output: True False
.NET allows recursion in regular expressions. See Balancing Group Definitions var input = @”add(mul(a,add(b,c)),d) + e – sub(f,g)”; var regex = new Regex(@” \( # Match ( ( [^()]+ # all chars except () | (?<Level>\() # or if ( then Level += 1 | (?<-Level>\)) # or if ) then Level -= 1 )+ … Read more
Assuming you’re building this with the TPL, you can set the ParallelOptions.MaxDegreesOfParallelism to whatever you want it to be. Parallel.For for a code example.
Potentially, AddRange can check where the value passed to it implements IList or IList<T>. If it does, it can find out how many values are in the range, and thus how much space it needs to allocate… whereas the foreach loop may need to reallocate several times. Additionally, even after allocation, List<T> can use IList<T>.CopyTo … Read more
OK I found the solution and I’ll write it here for the common good. Start VS2010 as administrator. Open a class library project (exmaple – MyProject). Add a new interface to the project (see example below). Add a using System.Runtime.InteropServices; to the file Add the attributes InterfaceType, Guid to the interface. You can generate a … Read more
