Maximum URL length in HTTP request.

Previously, there were limitations on the maximum length of URL - 256 characters.
But now, in HTTP 1.1 length of URL is 2,083 characters.
Limiting only to GET. For POST a length is not limited.

Custom object and ToString()

It is known that in the C # any object can be shown in the form of string by the method ToString () but what to do if you need to make such an operation with custom object?
That is one solution :

        public int Id
        {
            get { return id; }
            set { id = value; }
        }
        private string name;
        public string Name
        {
            get { return name; }
            set { name = value; }
        }
        private DateTime birthday ;
        public DateTime Birthday 
        {
            get { return birthday ; }
            set { birthday  = value; }
        }

      
       //Constructor
       public Customer()
       {
        this.id = 5;
        this.name = "John Smith";
        this.birthday = new  DateTime(1945, 10, 12);

        Console.WriteLine(this.ToString());
       }



To continue press "read more"....

public override string ToString()
 {
   StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();

   Type type = this.GetType();
   PropertyInfo[] propertiesInfo =
                      type.GetProperties();
   foreach (PropertyInfo property in propertiesInfo)
        {
           builder.AppendFormat("{0} = {1} \n",
                     property.Name,
                    property.GetValue(this, null));
         }

          return builder.ToString();
 }

Convert any possible type to T in .Net 2005

private T TryConvert <T>(object o, T defaultValue, bool isThrowException)
{
    T convertedValue = defaultValue;
    try
    {
     if (o != null)
      {
       convertedValue = (T)Convert.ChangeType(o, typeof(T));
      }
     else
      throw;
    }
    catch
    {
     if (isThrowException)
      {
       throw;
      }
    }
   return convertedValue;
}

How to use:


Let us suppose you have HttpRequest with some parameters:
ID , Name and Flag
Example 1. Simple using

private void Examle()
 {
   int id      =
     TryConvert<int>(Request["id"], -1,
 true);
   string name =
     TryConvert<string>(Request["name"], string.Empty,
 true);
   bool flag   =
     TryConvert<bool>(Request["Flag"], default(bool),
 true);
 }

Example 2. Using in enum

 public enum Week
        {
            Monday,
            Tuesday,
            Wednesday,
            Thursday,
            Friday,
            Saturday,
            Sunday
        }

 private void Examle2(Week w)
{
   Week day = TryConvert<Week>(w, Week.Sunday, true);
}

NMock

NMock is a dynamic mock object library for .NET. Mock objects make it easier to test single components—often single classes—without relying on real implementations of all of the other components. This means we can test just one class, rather than a whole tree of objects, and can pinpoint bugs much more clearly.

Add an uninstall and him shortcut to .NET deployment project in VS2005

1. Create simple project UninstallApp.
2. Add in Main()

{
string[] arguments = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs();

foreach(string argument in arguments)
{
string[] parameters = argument.Split('=');
if (parameters[0].ToLower() == "/u")
{
string productCode = parameters[1];
string path = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.System);
Process proc = new Process();
proc.StartInfo.FileName = string.Concat(path,"\\msiexec.exe");
proc.StartInfo.Arguments = string.Concat(" /i ", productCode);
proc.Start();
}

}


3. Create new setup project
4. Add UninstallApp.exe to "Application Folder" in 'File System' part
5. In "User's Program menu" create shortcut to UninstallApp.exe and in properties of this shortcut in parameter 'arguments' insert value "/u=[ProductCode]".
6.Rebuild deployment project.

Good luck ;)

Event Log Explorer

The small freeware utility for monitoring and the subsequent analysis of the events which have been written down in system log of operational systems of family Windows NT (NT/2000/XP/2003). It is called to expand functionality of built in component Event Viewer from OS and to add new opportunities its Interface it is extremely simple, divided for convenience into two windows. In left the tree of magazines (by default in Windows XP them three is displayed: for appendices, safety and system), and in right - tables with brief data on events, somehow: date, time, a code of event, a source and other. The arrangement of windows in the right half is limited by nothing, it is possible to look through simultaneously set of logs without restrictions. Probably to organize the selected lists for the separate computers connected through removed access on a network. Functions archiving old logs are supported, there is an advanced system of a filtration by various criteria and text search, and also the expanded functions of a press and export to various formats (HTML, TXT or in Excel). The program is very useful, as by means of it it will be much easier (unlike a standard browser of events Windows) to trace failure of this or that appendix, systems or the driver.

Use of conditional attributes in .NET

Attribute Conditional serves for creation of conditional methods, i.e. methods which are carried out only when the parameter of attribute is the symbolical constant certain by the instruction *define or is registered in properties the project.
Simple example. A conclusion of the message about trial version and about the registered version depending on attribute.

Open new Console Project.

Add a reference

using System.Diagnostics;

Add 2 methods to class:

[Conditional ("TRIAL")]
public static void Remind()
{
  Console.WriteLine("Please register your version!" );
  Console.ReadLine();
}

and

[Conditional ("FINAL")]

public static void Hello()
{
  Console.WriteLine("Thanks for registration!");
  Console.ReadLine();
}

Add to project properties -> Build -> Conditional compilation constants :

DEBUG;TRACE; TRIAL "COLOR: #ff0000">or DEBUG;TRACE; FINAL
Compile and Run.

Exact measurement of performance in Dot.Net

Utils.PerfMeter - unpretentious class for exact gauging performance in Dot.Net.
Measures much more precisely than Environment.TickCount. Environment.TickCount has accuracy 10 milisecond,
that for measurement of short sites does not approach.
Use QueryPerformanceCounter allows to provide very high accuracy.
To use so:

//Define variable PerfMeter timer = new PerfMeter(); timer.Start(); // A code for test....... //Print result to console Console.WriteLine("Execution time in seconds: {0:### ### ##0.0000}" timer.End()); //You can to use one variable several times

Class code:

using System; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; namespace Utils { /*This structure allows to count up speed of performance of a code one of the most exact of ways. Actually calculations are made in steps of the processor, and then translated in miliseconds (the decimal part is shares of second). */   public struct PerfMeter   {   Int64 _start;   /// Start timer   public void Start()   {   _start = 0;   QueryPerformanceCounter(ref _start);   }   /// Finished calculation time executions and returns time in seconds.   /*Return: Time in seconds spent for performance of a site of a code. The   decimal part reflects shares of second */   public float End()   {   Int64 end = 0;   QueryPerformanceCounter(ref end);   Int64 frequency = 0;   QueryPerformanceFrequency(ref Frequency);   return (((float)(end - _start) /(float)freq));   }   [DllImport("Kernel32.dll")]   static extern bool QueryPerformanceCounter(ref Int64 performanceCount);   [DllImport("Kernel32.dll")]   static extern bool QueryPerformanceFrequency(ref Int64 frequency);   } }
