It is very common to get a StackOverflowError error while calling recursive function. Scala standard library offers TailCall to avoid stack overflow by using heap objects and continuations to store the local state of the recursion. Two examples from the scaladoc of TailCalls import scala.util.cont...

You can pass a pointer variable to a method as parameter. The following example illustrates this: using System; namespace UnsafeCodeApplication { class TestPointer { public unsafe void swap(int* p, int *q) { int temp = *p; *p = *q; *q = temp; ...

To interact with the filesystem you use the methods of the class Files. Checking existence To check the existence of the file or directory a path points to, you use the following methods: Files.exists(Path path) and Files.notExists(Path path) !Files.exists(path) does not neccesarily have t...

When making a bind of something, for example a date you may want to show it in a specific format without messing around with it in the code. To do this we can use the StringFormat property. Here are some examples: Text="{Binding Path=ReleaseDate, StringFormat=dddd dd MMMM yyyy}" This...

This example is directly derived from John Cooley’s design contest at SNUG’95 (Synopsys Users Group meeting). The contest was intended to oppose VHDL and Verilog designers on the same design problem. What John had in mind was probably to determine what language was the most efficient. The result...

Implementation of IDatabaseInitializer that is used in EntityFramework by default. As the name implies, it creates the database if none exists. However when you change the model, it throws an exception. Usage: public class MyContext : DbContext { public MyContext() { Database.SetIni...

You can create your own implementation of IDatabaseInitializer. Example implementation of an initializer, that will migrate the database to 0 and then migrate all the way to the newest migration (usefull e.g. when running integration tests). In order to do that you would need a DbMigrationsConfigur...

An implementation of IDatabaseInitializer that will use Code First Migrations to update the database to the latest version. To use this initializer you have to use DbMigrationsConfiguration type too. Usage: public class MyContext : DbContext { public MyContext() { Database.SetInitial...

A complex type allows you to map selected fields of a database table into a single type that is a child of the main type. [ComplexType] public class Address { public string Street { get; set; } public string Street_2 { get; set; } public string City { get; set; } public string...
