in C++ you could do something like
for (int i = 0;i < mail.count(); i++, Console.WriteLine(mail.item(i)));
I dunno if C# supports the comma within a for loop.
You can also do this:
foreach(string message in mail.LIST()) Console.WriteLine("S: "+message);

I thought it might be, but I was setting out to show the general syntax where a for loop would do what you want, not to write the specific code for you. Writing a for loop that actually does what you want should be a no brainer if the comma notation is supported.
BTW, I should mention that while I'll also often see how terse I can make my code, number of lines is not always an indicator of anything. Always consider before you make 6 lines of code into 2 if your code has become easier, or harder to read and maintain. Also, the shorter code does not necessarily run any faster, and may be slower.

And obfuscating your code like that doesn't compile any differently. There is no difference between
foreach (...) doSomething(); OR
foreach (...)
doSomething(); OR
foreach
(...
)
doSomething();It's all syntactically the same and the compiler doesn't care. As Christian said, it's all a matter of readability. So long as you uphold the language specification, it doesn't really matter how you format your source code (unless you're one of those pseudo-languages like VB).

Ahh, you see... I didn't know that. I read this C# book and it told me that if I didn't want to use the {}'s on my loops I had to put the doSomething() right under the loop statment. EXACTLY ONE LINE DOWN. I never tried putting it anywhere else, I just though it was the rule.
That's cool, I know that know. Thanks for the incite.

Hi,
my class has a DateTime property. I would like to use the XmlSerializer and the DateTime Property should be written in RFC 822 format.
I guessed i can implement a typeconverter which can convert between DateTime and string (RFC822). But it seems like my typeconverter is never called.
[System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter(typeof(DateTimeRFCConverter))]
public DateTime PubDate
{get;set;}
is my idea basically wrong or did i missed something? Why use the XmlSerializer the DateTime typeconverter instead of my TypeConverter?
Thanks

XML serialization doesn't make use of a TypeConverter. It is hard-coded to format the intrinsic types and several common types like a DateTime. You could instead implement the IXmlSerializable interface. Though it's undocumented, it's pretty easy to figure out. Otherwise, you could create your own XmlSerializationReader and XmlSerializationWriter, but both are also undocumented and very complex. I'd recommend implementing IXmlSerializable on your class that contains the DateTime you want to format differently.
Also, you could always have a public property that returns and accepts a string in the format you want. You could use XmlIgnoreAttribute on the actual DateTime proeprty while using the value from the string property:
[XmlRoot("example")]
public class Example
{
[XmlIgnore]
public DateTime DT
{
get { return this.dt; }
set { this.dt = value; }
}
[XmlElement("dt")]
public string DTFormat
{
get { return this.dt.ToString("r"); }
set { this.dt = DateTime.Parse(value); }
}
}Note, using the format specifier "r" in DateTime.ToString says that it outputs a date-time in RFC 1123, but this RFC is not found the the format looks the same. Use a custom format if I am wrong.

Hi Heath Stewart,
thanks, i guessed there is another way than implementing IXmlSerializable because everything works fine except the DateTime 
this second property has to be public, right? Internal do not work.

Yes, only public properties and fields can be serialized using XML serialization in .NET. You'll notice that I made my property public.
If you don't want the property to show up in the designer or in the code editor, just attribute it like so:
[Browsable(false)]
[EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Never)]
[XmlElement("dt")]
public string DTFormat
{
get { return this.dt.ToString("r"); }
set { this.dt = DateTime.Parse(value); }
}

Hi Heath Stewart,
Good idea, but the important thing for me is that you do not see the property in intellisense. This confuse the developer

What do you think the EditorBrowsableAttribute is for?

The BrowsableAttribute keeps it hidden from the PropertyGrid (and any other component that honors this attribute). The EditorBrowsableAttribute hides it from the code editor. Reading documentation always helps.

I'm building an application that connects to SQL Server. I'd like to allow the user to choose one of their defined ODBC connections.
Does .NET provide any classes to assist with determining the system/user defined DSN's?
Coding in the heartland

|

|

Yes, the ODBC DSN's are stored with the Windows registry. They are located in "LocalMachine\ODBC\ODBC.INI\ODBC Data Sources" and "CurrentUser\Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI\ODBC Data Sources" keys. There are many articles here on CP that discuss working with the registry under .NET. Does that help?

I had a huge problem with multicast adresses.
I need to send a multicast packet to my local area network,with all its IPs so other computer will been able to estabilish a TCP/IP connection.
My computer has 3 local area connections(1 for internet, 1 for internal network, and 1 for god know what...), and when i send packets it *Randomly* chooses a local area connection and send data to it.
Is there a way i can choose the local area connection (in CSharp) or can i send my packets to All the connections at once.

Sounds like a routing problem rather. netsh | ipconfig

It can't be a routing problem since there is no routers at all.
It is simply the stupic computer choose randomly to what connection (or nick card) it sends its data.
Ex: I have 2 nick cards. With 2 assigned adresses:
192.168.0.1
and
169.254.111.190
The i send my multicast packet, but i never know which one it will uses.
Since my internal network passes throught 192.168.0.1, it it uses the other nick card, i had just send my message god know where.
Thus i need a way to either send the message to both of them or to choose which one.
(Windows is simple for people who use it for internet word and emails, but it is a constant headache for experts )

"routing" has to do with a route table, not necessarily a router (which is really just a hardware device with a programmable route table and is dedicated to routing packets). TCP is configured to route packets through a particular network interface card (NIC) depending on the destination address. Any computer with a TCP stack uses a route table.

But this doesn solve my problem:
Here is the my route table (The good info only).
224.0.0.0 224.0.0.0 65.92.106.225 65.92.106.225 1
224.0.0.0 224.0.0.0 169.254.111.190 169.254.111.190 1
224.0.0.0 224.0.0.0 192.168.100.1 192.168.100.1 1
Currently it uses 169.254.111.190 to send my multicast packets to.
Now if i disable the 169.254.111.190 my routing table would be:
224.0.0.0 224.0.0.0 65.92.106.225 65.92.106.225 1
224.0.0.0 224.0.0.0 192.168.100.1 192.168.100.1 1
and it will send the ulticast packets to 65.92.106.255
IF i disable this lat one i will get:
224.0.0.0 224.0.0.0 192.168.100.1 192.168.100.1 1
and my data would be send to 192.168.100.1
Now if i connect the other 2 i will get
224.0.0.0 224.0.0.0 65.92.106.225 65.92.106.225 1
224.0.0.0 224.0.0.0 169.254.111.190 169.254.111.190 1
224.0.0.0 224.0.0.0 192.168.100.1 192.168.100.1 1
and the data would be sent to 192.168.100.1
Thus you se, depending on some strange criteria, i never know where my data would be send to ?
It can be any of these 3.
224.0.0.0 224.0.0.0 65.92.106.225 65.92.106.225 1
224.0.0.0 224.0.0.0 169.254.111.190 169.254.111.190 1
224.0.0.0 224.0.0.0 192.168.100.1 192.168.100.1 1
I can do like send the data to the first one, but it will create several problems like with Unreal Tournement when you try to play on LAN and can not login.
Thus does anybody know how can i change it using CSharp. (Without disabling all the stuff, to which i will probably not have access anyway in the real world).
