Extension method in .net

Posted by: admin in .NET on July 17th, 2010

Extension methods enable developers to add a method to an existing class without deriving or affecting the existing class. This extension methods only support a sub routine or a function.

Example if we want to extend the functionality of the String type

VB.NET


  1. Imports System.Runtime.CompilerServices
  2.  
  3. Module StringExtensions
  4.  
  5.     <Extension()>
  6.     Public Sub Print(ByVal aString As String)
  7.         Console.WriteLine(aString)
  8.     End Sub
  9.  
  10.     <Extension()>
  11.     Public Sub PrintAndPunctuate(ByVal aString As String,
  12.                                  ByVal punc As String)
  13.         Console.WriteLine(aString & punc)
  14.     End Sub
  15.  
  16. End Module

To use that function

  1.     Sub Main()
  2.  
  3.         Dim example As String = "Example string"
  4.         example.Print()
  5.  
  6.         example = "Hello"
  7.         example.PrintAndPunctuate(".")
  8.         example.PrintAndPunctuate("!!!!")
  9.  
  10.     End Sub

C#.NET
If you notice the parameter there is a this keyword, that is how it done.

  1. namespace ExtensionMethods
  2. {
  3.     public static class StringExtensions
  4.     {
  5.         public static int Print(<strong>this </strong>String str)
  6.         {
  7.             Console.WriteLine(String );
  8.         }
  9.     }  
  10. }
  11.  
  12. string s = "Hello Extension Method";
  13. s.Print();

The install location for prerequisites has not been set to

Posted by: admin in .NET, Deployment on June 9th, 2010

Follow this steps to solve this problem:
Update the Package Data

  1. Open the [Program Files]\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\DotNetFx35SP1 folder or %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\DotNetFx35SP1 on x64 operating systems
  2. Edit the Product.xml file in Notepad.
  3. Paste the following into the < PackageFiles > element:
  4. Find the element for < PackageFile Name=”dotNetFX30\XPSEPSC-x86-en-US.exe” and change the PublicKey value to:
    3082010A0282010100A2DB0A8DCFC2C1499BCDAA3A34AD23596BDB6CBE2122B79
    4C8EAAEBFC6D526C232118BBCDA5D2CFB36561E152BAE8F0DDD14A36E284C7F163
    F41AC8D40B146880DD98194AD9706D05744765CEAF1FC0EE27F74A333CB74E5EFE
    361A17E03B745FFD53E12D5B0CA5E0DD07BF2B7130DFC606A2885758CB7ADBC85E
    817B490BEF516B6625DED11DF3AEE215B8BAF8073C345E3958977609BE7AD77C13
    78D33142F13DB62C9AE1AA94F9867ADD420393071E08D6746E2C61CF40D5074412
    FE805246A216B49B092C4B239C742A56D5C184AAB8FD78E833E780A47D8A4B2842
    3C3E2F27B66B14A74BD26414B9C6114604E30C882F3D00B707CEE554D77D208557
    6810203010001
  5. Find the element for < PackageFile Name=”dotNetFX30\XPSEPSC-amd64-en-US.exe” and change the PublicKey value to the same as in step 4 above
  6. Save the product.xml file

Download and Extract the Core Installation Files

  1. Navigate to the following URL: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?LinkID=118080
  2. Download the dotNetFx35.exe file to your local disk.
  3. Open a Command Prompt window and change to the directory to which you downloaded dotNetFx35.exe.
  4. At the command prompt, type:

dotNetFx35.exe /x:.

This will extract the Framework files to a folder named “WCU” in the current directory.
Copy the contents of the WCU\dotNetFramework folder and paste them in the %Program Files%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\DotNetFx35SP1 folder (%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\DotNetFx35SP1 on x64 operating systems).

Note: Do not copy the WCU\dotNetFramework folder itself. There should be 5 folders under the WCU folder, and each of these should now appear in the DotNetFx35SP1 folder. The folder structure should resemble the following: DotNetFx35SP1 (folder)

    • dotNetFX20 (folder
    • dotNetFX30 (folder)
    • dotNetFX35 (folder)
    • dotNetMSP (folder)
    • TOOLS folder)
    • en (or some other localized folder)
    • dotNetFx35setup.exe (file)

You may now delete the files and folders you downloaded and extracted in steps 2 and 4.

You can read more on the attached readme file.

Posted by: admin in .NET, Controls, Treeview on March 10th, 2010

Add this script to your common module
VB.NET

Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
  1.  
  2. Public Const TVIF_STATE As Integer = &amp;H8
  3. Public Const TVIS_STATEIMAGEMASK As Integer = &amp;HF000
  4. Public Const TV_FIRST As Integer = &amp;H1100
  5. Public Const TVM_SETITEM As Integer = TV_FIRST + 63
  6.  
  7.  Public Structure TVITEM
  8.     Public mask As Integer
  9.     Public hItem As IntPtr
  10.     Public state As Integer
  11.     Public stateMask As Integer
  12.      Public lpszText As String
  13.     Public cchTextMax As Integer
  14.     Public iImage As Integer
  15.     Public iSelectedImage As Integer
  16.     Public cChildren As Integer

  26.         SendMessage(nod.TreeView.Handle, TVM_SETITEM, IntPtr.Zero, tvi)

Then call the subroutine
Public Sub TreeNode_SetStateImageIndex(ByVal node As TreeNode, ByVal index

@ Symbol in C##

Posted by: admin in C# on April 23rd, 2009

The @ symbol tells the string constructor to ignore escape characters and line break

The following two strings are therefore identical:

  1.  
  2. string p1 = "\\\\My Documents\\My Files\\";
  3. string p2 = @"\\My Documents\My Files\";
