If you need to only loop through the diagonal elements of the two-dimensional array you can use the following C# code (but should be more or less the same for any programming language). It calculates the diagonal index based on a simple formula and has O(n) complexity, where n = max(width, height)

How to build, test and deploy your ASP.NET Core application in a single click (commit & push)? In this article I will answer this question and show you how to configure CI and CD with Docker and Bitbucket.

.NET Core framework provides one very useful feature - Self-contained application. You don't need to install any .net runtime on your computer, you can just copy your application to the target host and run it. Furthermore, you can run it on any platform (Windows, Linux, OSX)! When you create a self-contained application, after publishing, you will see the whole .net runtime next to your application. There are some advantages: You do not need to have installed .NET Core on a target machine You ca...

If you are using Selenium WebDriver as a web crawler and thinking that it's too slow, welcome inside! In this article, we will see how to make page parsing time around 50 times faster. As an example, I will parse comments from another article from this blog. I will first parse it using default WebDriver API (FindElement... methods) and then will compare it to CsQuery Here is WebDriver parsing code: var driver = new ChromeDriver(); driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("/2014/07/fixed-setup-was-unable-t...

If you want to run C# application (mono) with Selenium ChomeDriver on Ubuntu Server 16.04 in headless mode, you definitely should read this article. We will use Xvfb as X server, this will let us emulate "headless" mode because Xvfb performs all graphical operations in memory without showing any screen output.

Great news! You can already try new C# 7.0 features. All you need is Visual Studio 15 Preview. Let's start! Today we are going to talk about Pattern Matching and will look under the hood of this nice feature. Unfortunately, it is only partly available in VS 15. So we need to wait until next release. Or you can try to get latest Roslyn from GitHub. is operator The is operator is extended to test an expression against a pattern. With that you can replace this: object obj = "Hello, World!...

C# 7.0 is coming! Even 6.0 is not released yet, you can already try new C# 7.0 features. To do that you need: Visual Studio 15 preview Set __DEMO__ and __DEMO_EXPERIMENTAL__ as Conditional compilation symbol in project settings. Not all of the new features available in current preview, but you can already play with some of them. But today we gonna look closer at Local Functions private static void Main(string[] args) { int LocalFunction(int arg) { return 42 * arg; } Console.WriteLine(LocalFuncti...

Unity3d 5.3.0 introduced JsonUtility class which will help you with JSON serialization and deserialization. But this class has some limitation, and one of them: "You cannot serialize\deserialize System.Guid type" That's a pity, especially if you're using System.Guid in your DTO objects. But, there are solutions: You can change a data type, for example, use System.String or System.UInt32 instead of System.Guid. But if you have a lot of code which uses your DTO objects it might be painful to refac...

There is no more public Configuration() { AutomaticMigrationsEnabled = false; } in Entity Framework Core 1.0 (formerly  EF 7.0) Now you can use extension Migrate method during database initialization. For example, you have custom DBInitializer class: public class DBInitialization { public static void Initialize() { using (var context = new DbContext()) { context.Database.Migrate(); // Other db initialization code. } } } There is also async version of this method. This method will apply any pendi...

At Novility, we have  found that we cannot log working time anymore. You just press "Make me happy" button and nothing :( When ZohoPeopleTimeLogger tries to make you happy it needs information about current jobs from ZOHO. For example, if I try to log time for January 16 and there is no job for this date I will get an error. But user was not able to see that error. That is fixed in release v1.3. Download GitHub User will see message box with detailed description and nice instructions:

For those who do not know, AppVeyor is Continuous Integration and Deployment service for .NET projects. It is free for open-source projects. Currently, AppVeyor supports latest DNX version (1.0.0-rc1-final) and I've recently migrated my pet project to this version. I will show you how easy it is to build and run all unit tests on CI server every time you commit to GitHub. Visual Studio project (MSBuild) In LearnWordsFast project we are using Visual Studio 2015 as a development environment, so in...

I will show you how to do lazy db context initialization with Entity Framework 7. The idea is simple, we need an easy way to get database context in a request. If db context was used in the request we should call SaveChanges method and dispose used context if not we shouldn't do anything. For "client", code should look like this: public class SomeRepository { private readonly IDbContext _db; public SomeRepository(IDbContext db) { _db = db; } public void Add(Item item) { _db.Current.Items.Add(ite...

Here is the MVVM way to bring selected TreeViewItem into a view. First we need an attached behavior. We cannot use regular behavior because we will attach this property through Style. public class BringSelectedItemIntoViewBehavior { public static readonly DependencyProperty IsBringSelectedIntoViewProperty = DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached( "IsBringSelectedIntoView", typeof (bool), typeof (BringSelectedItemIntoViewBehavior), new PropertyMetadata(default(bool), PropertyChangedCallbac...

In the previous article I've used nohup + su + init.d script to run kestrel in a background. But as Daniel Lo Nigro suggested in comments it's much easier to do the same with Supervisor And he was absolutelly right, config is much smaller, and you can easelly see status and output of a program. First, install supervisor: sudo apt-get install supervisor Now you can create config for your application: sudo nano /etc/supervisor/conf.d/kestrel_default.conf With following content: [program:kestrel_de...

Because Andre is so special, the previous version of ZohoPeopleTimeLogger was not working with his account. I've fixed couple issues in the program to make him happy. Now, my friend, you can enjoy this lovely program! This release (v1.2) is dedicated to you! Download Now seriously! There was a small issue in a way I got information from zoho.

In the previous article we have installed nginx as a "gate" for our ASP.NET 5 application. Today we will see how to start kestrel server in the background. We will do even more, we will create init.d script to control our APS.NET 5 application and start it on  the system's startup. The simplest way to start kestrel in the background from console: nohup k kestrel & But if you want to start your application at the system's startup you need init.d script. Eventually, we will have following comm...

C# 6.0 become more asynchronous-friendly than before. Finally, you can use await keyword in catch and finally blocks! Here is example: class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { do { Console.WriteLine("Before caller " + Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId); CallerMethod(); Console.WriteLine("After caller " + Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId); } while (Console.ReadKey().Key != ConsoleKey.Q); } public static async void CallerMethod() { try { throw new Exception(); }...

In this article,  we will see how to create simple Web Server for Raspberry Pi 2 running Windows 10 IoT Core. Because it is a Web Server we don't need UI for this application, we can run it in headless mode. Open Visual Studio 2015 RC and create Windows IoT Core Background Application solution. Now we need a web server. This will be simple one. It will always response with "Hello, World!" string. internal class WebServer { private const uint BufferSize = 8192; public void Start() { StreamSocketL...

As I said in the previous article, I am gonna tell you about Automatic migrations with NHibernate and Fluent NHibernate in ASP.NET 5 applications. Automatic migrations is a really powerful feature, but you should be also really careful with it. Sometimes it might corrupt your schema or even data. Now back to ASP.NET 5 and migrations. I have already explained how to install and configure Postgresql with NHibernate. To enable automatic migrations you need to modify configuration a bit: private sta...

You can run ASP.NET 5 applications on Linux using kestrel web server. This is development web server, so it has limited functionality. But sometimes you need more functions, for example, https or virtual hosts support. Today we will see how to configure a system, so you can access your application through a domain name. First, you need ASP.NET 5 environment up and running.  You can use my article to install and configure everything, but it's a bit outdated, so it's better to use official documen...

C# 6.0 has a lot of great new features, which save developer's time and make code more clean and short. At the conclusion of the C# 6.0 series let's go through the whole list of the new C# 6.0 features again (all titles are active). Each article contains detailed explanation of the particular feature with resulted IL code and "old-school" way of doing the same things. String Interpolation var a = 1.2345; Console.WriteLine($"test {a}"); Console.WriteLine($"test {a} {a} {a}");...

The last but not the least feature of the C# 6.0 that I am going to cover is expression-bodied methods. We all have experience writing single line methods: private string name; public override string ToString() { return "Name :" + name; } Now, we have shorter way of defining the same method: public override string ToString() => "Name: " + name; As you can see, now we can use lambda style to define method's body. But there is one difference from lambda expressions, we canno...

Hi, folks! Today we are gonna talk about new indexer initialization syntax introduced in C# 6.0. As we know, we already have good way to initialize dictionary: var dic = new Dictionary<string, int> { {"Apple", 2}, {"Pear", 10} }; but in C# 6.0 we have a better way to do the same: var dic2 = new Dictionary<string, int> { ["Apple"] = 2, ["Pear"] = 10 }; As for me, it is a bit nicer because we already have curly brackets in the beginning and endin...

Exception filters is a new C# 6.0 feature. Visual Basic.NET and F# have this functionality for a long time. That is because exception filtering was implemented in CIL but not in C#. Now, this technique available for us. That's how you can use it: try { Method(); } catch (Win32Exception ex) when (ex.NativeErrorCode == 0x07) { // do exception handling logic } catch (Win32Exception ex) when (ex.NativeErrorCode == 0x148) { // do exception handling logic } catch (Exception) { // log unhandled excepti...

The next new feature of the C# 6.0 is auto-property initializers and get-only auto property. The main problem that they suppose to solve is immutable type declaration. Before C# 6.0, if you want to create immutable type with properties, you have no possibility to use auto property: public string Property { get; set; } So, you were forced to use regular get-only (read-only) property with read-only backing field: private readonly string prop; public string Prop { get { return prop; } } public Ctor...

C# 6.0 has a lot of new features, one of them is nameof operator. Let's see how it's implemented internally and what we can do with it. This operator will help us get rid of "magic strings" in our code. We all know following use case: public void Method(int arg) { if (arg < 0) { throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("arg"); } } With nameof operator we can rewrite code in a nicer way: public void Method(int arg) { if (arg < 0) { throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException(nameof(arg));...

C# 6.0 introduced two new null-propagation operators: ?. and ?[]. They will make null reference check much easier. In this article, we will see how they work and how they implemented internally. We all know about NullReferenceException and how to avoid it in our code. We just need to check everything for null before accessing some fields\properties\methods. Null Propagation Operator ?. var str = GetString(); if (str != null) { return str.Length; } else { return 0; } Now we can use Null Propagati...

One of the top ten requests on uservoice is String Interpolation. Today we are going to see how to use this feature and how it is implemented in C# 6.0. We all use similar expressions: var str = string.Format("Date: {0}", DateTime.Now); This is string interpolation in C# before 6.0. Now, in C# 6.0, we have new string interpolation technique: var str = $"Date: {DateTime.Now}"; There was nothing new added in to runtime, this is just a syntaxis sugar for "old shcool" interpolati...

I have installed Windows 10 on Raspberry Pi 2, then I have created a simple C# application for it. Now, I am curious what is the difference in performance between Windows 10 IoT Core and Raspbian. To test that I will run a simple C# code on both OS. Code I will do a simple calculation in a loop and will run this code in multiple threads. The amount of threads - 4, because Raspberry Pi 2 has 4 cores. This will load CPU up to 100%. I know that I am using different CLRs and different compilators, b...

It is time to create our first C# Windows 10 Universal Application for Raspberry Pi 2.

If logic in your controller to complex for 'if' or 'switch\case' constructions, here is small State Machine implementation for you. Let's start with example how to use this state machine, and then we go through implementation details: public class Test : MonoBehaviour { private StateMachine stateMachine; private State firstState = new State(); private State secondState = new CustomState(); private State finishState = new State(); // Use this for initialization void Start () { var initChild = new...

If you want to play movie clip in your Unity3d project you need to have Pro version! If you are using Windows machine you also need to have QuickTime installed. After you have everything prepared just drag (or copy) your movie clip into Asset folder, after that you will see it imported. You need a MovieTexture instance to use imported clip. To play movie clip use following code: MovieTexture movie; public void Play() { movie.Play(); } To stop or pause: movie.Pause(); movie.Stop(); You can access...

In this part of the vNext tale, I am gonna tell you about dependency injection in ASP.NET 5 (vNext) stack. Default Dependency Injection container First, let's see what is shipped with ASP.NET 5 by default. There is already simple DI container. It gives you a possibility to register service with three different lifetimes: scope, singleton and transient. For now it supports only constructor injection. Let's see how to use it and what is the difference between these lifetimes. Create empty ASP.NET...

New UI system was introduced in Unity3d 4.6, it includes InputField control, but this field could not be read only. You can make it non interactable by disabling "Interactable" property in the editor, but then you will not be able to select and copy text from InputField. To have proper ReadOnly input field you should do small modification to the original control: using UnityEngine; using UnityEngine.EventSystems; using UnityEngine.UI; [AddComponentMenu("UI/Read Only Input Field", 32)]...

If you are using Coroutines in Unity3d, you probably know about WaitForSeconds, WaitForEndOfFrame and WaitForFixedUpdate classes. Here is an example: public IEnumerator CoroutineAction() { // do some actions here yield return new WaitForSeconds(2); // wait for 2 seconds // do some actions after 2 seconds } But sometimes you need to wait for some amount of frames before executing some action. I have created simple class to help you with that: public static class WaitFor { public static IEnumerato...

Причины проблемы: Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 драйвер имеет две версии: x86 и x64. Эти две версии не могут быть установленные одновременно, соответственно если ваше .net приложение собирается под AnyCPU то в случае 64 битной системы оно будет пытаться использовать 64 драйвер, и наоборот. Решение: - В Configuration Manager установите сборку приложения под x86 платформу (BUILD > Configuration > Active > Solution > Platform > x86) - Установите x86 драйвер Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 Альтер...

Suppose you need to bind ItemsSource dependency property to enum's values. For example in ComboBox. You have following enum: public enum ExampleEnum { Red, Green, Yellow } Now you can use ObjectDataProvider <Window x:Class="ExampleApplication.Window" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:System="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib" xmlns:local="clr-namespace...

In Unity3d you can change only vertical field of view for a camera by default. This means whenever you change height unity will automatically scale environment. But if you change width unity will just add some space (or decrease) to left and right side of the screen (no content resizing). If you want to have opposite behavior, so when you increase width all content will  be scaled and if you increase height only space added to the view, you need to modify camera fieldOfView field. Here is a simp...

The problem arises when you have your application compiled for AnyCPU Platform, you are running on a 64bit system and the installed ADO.NET provider (Microsoft ACE.OLEDB.12.0) is the 32bit version. When using the AnyCpu target Platform your code will be executed as 64bit code on 64bit systems and as 32bit code on 32bit systems. An application executed as 64bit cannot use 32bit drivers (and viceversa). The Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 has two different version for 64 and 32bit that cannot be installe...

After adding Index attribute with IsUnique set to true for string value in my code first model [Index(IsUnique = true)] public string Email { get; set; } , I've tried to update my database, but got following error: "column in table is of a type that is invalid for use as a key column in an index". I've got this error because unique constraint can't be over 8000 bytes per row and will only use the first 900 bytes even then so the safest maximum size for my field would be 450 characters.

Постоянный ctrl+c, ctrl+v меня удручал, вот и надумал я решить эту проблему. Задача: Написать приложение, которое будет отслеживать клик на ссылку в приложениях (Skype, Outlook, etc...) и для определенных адресов...

To check if user connected to UltraVNC server you should enable logging in ultravnc.ini: DebugMode=2 Then you just need to read log file and check if this file contains string "vnchttpconnect.cpp : HTTP client connected" for http connections and "vncclient.cpp : client connected" for VNC client connections. C# example that wait for incoming http or vnc connection during localTimeout period: bool isUserConnected = false; var startTime = DateTime.Now; localTimeout = 10000; do { using (var fileStre...

Hello all! I had to deploy and configure UltraVnc server to the remote computers. For this purpose it was necessary to write UltraVnc password encryption method. Passwords stores in   ultravnc.ini [ultravnc] passwd=<Encrypted password> passwd2=< Encrypted password > passwd - full control password passwd2 - read-only password Password must be no more than 8 characters long. Missing characters filled with null characters ('�').  Password is encrypted with DES + 2 symbols at the end of...

Добрый день! Возникла необходимость деплоить и настраивать UltraVnc сервер на удаленных машинах. Для этого необходимо было написать шифратор паролей для UltraVnc. Пароли хранятся в файле ultravnc.ini [ultravnc] passwd=<Зашифрованный пароль> passwd2=<Зашифрованный пароль> passwd - пароль с полным доступом passwd2 - пароль с доступом только для чтения Пароль должен быть не больше 8-ми символов. Недостающие символы заполняются null символами ('�') Шифруется пароль алгоритмом DES, с доба...

Доброго времени суток! Довелось мне на днях написать метод генерации зашифрованного пароля для UlrtaVnc. Писать необходимо было на C#. Погуглив, нашел реализации алгоритма шифрования на Perl и Python. Шифруется все алгоритмом DES. На Perl это выглядит так: my $realkey = pack ('H16', "E84AD660C4721AE0"); my $cipher = Crypt::DES->new($realkey); my $password = "test"; my $cryptpass = $cipher->encrypt($password); Но вот с переводом данного кода на C# пришлось пово...
