Hi,

Can you please tell me if YAML Parser C# is compatible with Windows 7 64-bit?

If not, are there any alternatives.

Thanks

What is YAML Parser?

The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Apparently it's a tool for looking at this[^]. Never heard of it before, but it looks interesting.

"YAML is tested and supported in major modern browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari and Internet Explorer."
IE6 is listed... Suspicious | :suss:

I was just wondering if there are any C# programmers in the Oak Harbor, WA area that may be willing to meet up at SBs or Whidbey Coffee every now and then. I really could use a good programming mentor.

*sigh* ... read the guidelines, please.

To answer your question, I don't think there 's a way to inline a report in mail directly. However you could convert it to html and use the html code inside an html mail. IOW don't add as attachment, but inline.

eg.
exported html Report

HTML

<html>
<head><!-- head contents --></head>
<body><!-- body contents --></body>
</html>

Strip out everything not needed like html, head, body tags. Then in your email html code add the stripped report html and voila, a nice inline report.

Some things to consider:
- Styling (css)
- Use an email template with an placeholder to put your inline report
- html content is not completely downloaded by default in many mail clients, often the user needs to manually tell the client to show the complete mail.
- I think this could become complex when using subreports eg.

This might not be the answer you like, but on top of my head, it's the only option to avoid attachments.

Stringbuilder

When would I use stringbuilder over just string? I just read about it in a book but it doesn't explain why you would use it.

I would say when you are concatenating a number of strings use a stringbuilder. If it's just a case of concatenating first name and surname of a person object, a stringbuilder would be an overkill.

In .NET, string class is immutable. Simply put, it means that you cannot modify a string after it's creation. So, for example

string someString = "Hello";
//Now if we write
someString += " World";

The program will not add World to the existing string. Instead, it will create a new string object "Hello World" and assigns this to someString and discards the earlier object "Hello". So, this may not be a big issue if we are dealing with only a few strings. But, if we want to deal with several string operations, then StringBuilder is a good option. As explained here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/y9sxk6fy.aspx[^]

This class represents a string-like object whose value is a mutable sequence of characters. The value is said to be mutable because it can be modified once it has been created by appending, removing, replacing, or inserting characters.
And after making all the modifications ToString method of StringBuilder can be used to get the final string.
I think this Code Project article
StringBuilder vs. String, Fast String Operations with .NET 2.0[^]
may be helpful.

John Skeet has written about this[^]

This is an excellent introduction to this topic. I once scored brownie points in a Job Interview for referring to this stuff when asked why I didn't use StringBuilder in a simple one-time concatenation during a programming test. The interviewer didn't beleive me at first, but a quick test showed similar results to the article.

Programatically add digital signature to a document uploaded in Sharepoint library

16-Apr-12 16:48

Hi,

I have defined a custom action for a library to ask for the approver's Name, Title and email-id for a document. This data entered should be taken programmatically to create a digital signature and add this signature inside the document.After this the document should be disabled from editing once signed(just like inserting a signature for a word document, but should be done programmatically). Can somebody post full working code for a sharepoint Visual studio 2010 project for this?
I have googled for the code but none are aiming at my request.

Much Thanks,
Nisha

Optimising XML

16-Apr-12 8:01

Hi All

I am trying to find a way to optimise the below code for my web service

In my webservice i recieve 10 different XML files, each xml file is always the same format, at the moment i have 10 different methods to handle each one, the below code is an example of one of the methods.

The only difference between the methods are the local variables and the node attributes.

Instead of having 10 methods almost identical i would like to have just one.

Can anyone advise on the best way to achieve this ?

thanks
