String interpolation was a pretty good addition, IMO. Especially when you compare it to the abomination that became of default interface methods[^]. Dead | X|

I agree - I use string interpolation precisely because it de-obfuscates code:

Console.WriteLine("({2},{1}):({0},{3})={4}", destX, y, x, destY, dist);

Isn't as obvious as

Console.WriteLine($"({x},{y}):({destX},{destY})={dist}");

I've seen code like that before: when the variable list order is wrong, and it was easier to renumber than juggle the names ... Not that I'd write code like that, oh no.

A legitimate use case for unordered variables might be when writing output in different languages. In one language you might want to write "Page 1 of 10", but in another it might be "10 pages, No. 1" or some such. You would read the template from the resource file, filling in the values as necessary.

Hi,

I would like to get the device operations log so that we can do checks on the device and see if administrators changed settings on the device.

Can you help us ?

Telegram.Bot doesn't invoke Bot.OnMessage

I want to do a telegram bot that answers messages and get updates. I created web application on Visual Studio 2015 Express. I write my codes to global.asax. I have installed Telegram.Bot package. I can run the program but program doesn't anything. What may be the problem? Thanks for asistance.

My codes are below:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Security;
using System.Web.SessionState;
using System.Threading;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Net;

using Telegram.Bot;
using Telegram.Bot.Args;
using Telegram.Bot.Types;
using Telegram.Bot.Types.Enums;
using Telegram.Bot.Types.ReplyMarkups;
using System.IO;



namespace EC
{

public class Global : System.Web.HttpApplication
    {

        Telegram.Bot.TelegramBotClient Bot = new TelegramBotClient("xxxxxx");

        protected void Application_Start()
        {
            ServicePointManager.Expect100Continue = true;
            ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12;

            Bot.OnMessage += Bot_OnMessage;
            Bot.OnUpdate += Bot_OnUpdate;
            Bot.StartReceiving();

        }

        private void Bot_OnMessage(object sender, MessageEventArgs messageEventArgs)
        {
            var message = messageEventArgs.Message;

            if (message == null || message.Type != MessageType.Text) return;

            if (message.Text.Contains("/start"))
            {
                string Str = "Start Received";

                Bot.SendTextMessageAsync(message.Chat.Id, Str);

            }
            else if (message.Text.Contains("/Stop"))
            {
                string Str = "Stop Received";
                Bot.SendTextMessageAsync(message.Chat.Id, Str);
            }
        }
 }

Pete's right - this is the wrong place, The Lounge[^] is where this belongs.

And it's a pity you decided to learn Python ... C# would have been a lot better (I hate Python because of the indentation which can cause massive problems as spaces and tabs aren't equivelant, and all languages where the type of a variable depends on what you last stuffed into it). C#is stricter, but that's actually a bonus because it spots more problems at compile time rather than leave them to crash your app at run time.

Active Directory Question

I'm tryinig to recurse through the objects under a specific Organization Unit.

string domain = "LDAP://DC=MyCompany,DC=com";
string serverName = "192.168.30.10";
string ou = "OU=OrgUnit-Test-1,DC=MyCompany,DC=com";

I already know that under the OU above there are other OU's, Groups, and users. Each child OU can have groups and users, and each group can have users. It's a hierarchy of info that I want to interate over.

All the examples I'm finding are about finding users in groups and the like. What I'ds really like is some way of looping over some objects to examine them.

Here's an example I have that finds users in a specific group:

<pre>public List<ActiveDirectoryUser> GetAllUsersInGroup(string domainName, string groupName)
{
    List<ActiveDirectoryUser> results = new List<ActiveDirectoryUser>();

    using (var context = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain, domainName))
    {
        using (var group = GroupPrincipal.FindByIdentity(context, groupName))
        {
            if (group != null)
            {
                var users = group.GetMembers(true).ToList();
                foreach (UserPrincipal user in users)
                {
                    var adu = new ActiveDirectoryUser(user.DisplayName, user.UserPrincipalName, user.GivenName, user.Surname, user.EmailAddress, user.Enabled.Value);
                    results.Add(adu);
                }
            }
        }
    }

    return results;
}

This works fine - if you know the group name.

Is there any way, given a starting OU, to examine all child objects under it? Again, I need to examine the entire hierarchy.

Thanks

Only partly. I already have something like this that gives back groups for an OU. What's missing is child OU's. An OU can havee other OU's under it.

active directory - How to get list of OU using AccountManagement (C#) - Stack Overflow[^]

You can extend the GroupPrincipal to search for OUs:

[DirectoryRdnPrefix("OU")]
[DirectoryObjectClass("organizationalUnit")]
public class OuPrincipal : GroupPrincipal
{
    public OuPrincipal(PrincipalContext context) : base(context)
    {
    }
}

You should then be able to use this in a similar way to the other code to find the child OUs.
