ADO.NET Connections are one of the simplest ways to connect to a database from a C# application. They rely on the use of a provider and a connection string that points to your database to perform queries against. Common Data Provider Classes Many of the following are classes that are commonly used...

Entity Framework exposes abstraction classes that are used to interact with underlying databases in the form of classes like DbContext. These contexts generally consist of DbSet<T> properties that expose the available collections that can be queried : public class ExampleContext: DbContext ...

A Connection String is a string that specifies information about a particular data source and how to go about connecting to it by storing credentials, locations, and other information. Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;User Id=myUsername;Password=myPassword; Storing Your Connection Stri...

You can combine named arguments with optional parameters. Let see this method: public sealed class SmsUtil { public static bool SendMessage(string from, string to, string message, int retryCount = 5, object attachment = null) { // Some code } } When you want to call t...

LocalDate tomorrow = LocalDate.now().plusDays(1); LocalDateTime anHourFromNow = LocalDateTime.now().plusHours(1); Long daysBetween = java.time.temporal.ChronoUnit.DAYS.between(LocalDate.now(), LocalDate.now().plusDays(3)); // 3 Duration duration = Duration.between(Instant.now(), ZonedDateTime.par...

Compiler definitions run platform specific code. Using them you can make small differences between various platforms. Trigger Game Center achievements on apple devices and google play achievements on Android devices. Change the icons in menus (windows logo in windows, Linux penguin in Linux). P...

What is an enter selection? In D3.js, when one binds data to DOM elements, three situations are possible: The number of elements and the number of data points are the same; There are more elements than data points; There are more data points than elements; In the situation #3, all the data ...

You can build the cross-platform "Hello World" C++ code, using Scons - A Python-language software construction tool. First, create a file called SConstruct (note that SCons will look for a file with this exact name by default). For now, the file should be in a directory right along your h...

foreach varlist1 list1 ?varlist2 list2 ...? body foreach is a powerful control structure that allows looping over a list or multiple lists. set alpha [list a b c d e f] foreach {key} $alpha { puts "key: $key" } Multiple variable names may be specified. set alphaindexes [list a ...

Subclassing also Subclasses Singleton Class class Example end Example.singleton_class #=> #<Class:Example> def Example.foo :example end class SubExample < Example end SubExample.foo #=> :example SubExample.singleton_class.superclass #=> #<Class:Example> ...

Instances never contain a method they only carry data. However we can define a singleton class for any object including an instance of a class. When a message is passed to an object (method is called) Ruby first checks if a singleton class is defined for that object and if it can reply to that mess...

There are three ways to reopen a Singleton Class Using class_eval on a singleton class. Using class << block. Using def to define a method on the object's singleton class directly class Example end Example.singleton_class.class_eval do def foo :foo end end Example.fo...

By default Entity Framework maps decimal properties to decimal(18,2) columns in database tables. public class Box { public int Id { set; get; } public decimal Length { set; get; } public decimal Width { set; get; } public decimal Height { set; get; } } We can change the p...

In C++ methods that differs only by const qualifier can be overloaded. Sometimes there may be a need of two versions of getter that return a reference to some member. Let Foo be a class, that has two methods that perform identical operations and returns a reference to an object of type Bar: class ...

Streams can be built that reference themselves and thus become infinitely recursive. // factorial val fact: Stream[BigInt] = 1 #:: fact.zipWithIndex.map{case (p,x)=>p*(x+1)} fact.take(10) // (1, 1, 2, 6, 24, 120, 720, 5040, 40320, 362880) fact(24) // 620448401733239439360000 // the ...

requestAnimationFrame is similar to setInterval, it but has these important improvements: The animation code is synchronized with display refreshes for efficiency The clear + redraw code is scheduled, but not immediately executed. The browser will execute the clear + redraw code only when the d...
