Anonymous types allow the creation of objects without having to explicitly define their types ahead of time, while maintaining static type checking. var anon = new { Value = 1 }; Console.WriteLine(anon.Id); // compile time error Conversely, dynamic has dynamic type checking, opting for runtime ...

Generic methods allow the use of anonymous types through type inference. void Log<T>(T obj) { // ... } Log(new { Value = 10 }); This means LINQ expressions can be used with anonymous types: var products = new[] { new { Amount = 10, Id = 0 }, new { Amount = 20, Id = 1 }, ...

Using generic constructors would require the anonymous types to be named, which is not possible. Alternatively, generic methods may be used to allow type inference to occur. var anon = new { Foo = 1, Bar = 2 }; var anon2 = new { Foo = 5, Bar = 10 }; List<T> CreateList<T>(params T[] it...

Anonymous type equality is given by the Equals instance method. Two objects are equal if they have the same type and equal values (through a.Prop.Equals(b.Prop)) for every property. var anon = new { Foo = 1, Bar = 2 }; var anon2 = new { Foo = 1, Bar = 2 }; var anon3 = new { Foo = 5, Bar = 10 }; ...

Arrays of anonymous types may be created with implicit typing. var arr = new[] { new { Id = 0 }, new { Id = 1 } };

To remove a cookie, set the expiry timestamp to a time in the past. This triggers the browser's removal mechanism: setcookie('user', '', time() - 3600, '/'); When deleting a cookie make sure the path and domain parameters of setcookie() matches the cookie you're trying to delete or a new cooki...

C11 C11 introduced support for multiple threads of execution, which affords the possibility of data races. A program contains a data race if an object in it is accessed1 by two different threads, where at least one of the accesses is non-atomic, at least one modifies the object, and program seman...

arc4random_uniform(someNumber: UInt32) -> UInt32 This gives you random integers in the range 0 to someNumber - 1. The maximum value for UInt32 is 4,294,967,295 (that is, 2^32 - 1). Examples: Coin flip let flip = arc4random_uniform(2) // 0 or 1 Dice roll let roll = arc4random_...

What is Serialization Serialization is the process of converting an object's state (including its references) to a sequence of bytes, as well as the process of rebuilding those bytes into a live object at some future time. Serialization is used when you want to persist the object. It is also used b...

If you have cloned a fork (e.g. an open source project on Github) you may not have push access to the upstream repository, so you need both your fork but be able to fetch the upstream repository. First check the remote names: $ git remote -v origin https://github.com/myusername/repo.git (fetch...

Installing Visual Studio If you do not have Visual Studio installed, you can download the free Visual Studio Community Edition here. If you already have it installed, you can proceed to the next step. Creating an ASP.NET Core MVC Application. Open Visual Studio. Select File > New Project. ...

By default, all the methods declared in a protocol are required. This means that any class that conforms to this protocol must implement those methods. It is also possible to declare optional methods. These method can be implemented only if needed. You mark optional methods with the @optional dire...

The typeof operator works on type parameters. class NameGetter<T> { public string GetTypeName() { return typeof(T).Name; } }

toList flattens a Foldable structure t a into a list of as. ghci> toList [7, 2, 9] -- t ~ [] [7, 2, 9] ghci> toList (Right 'a') -- t ~ Either e "a" ghci> toList (Left "foo") -- t ~ Either String [] ghci> toList (3, True) -- t ~ (,) Int [True] toList is ...

Mark your UIView subclass as an accessible element so that it is visible to VoiceOver. myView.isAccessibilityElement = YES; Ensure that the view speaks a meaningful label, value, and hint. Apple provides more details on how to choose good descriptions in the Accessibility Programming Guide.

The accessibility frame is used by VoiceOver for hit testing touches, drawing the VoiceOver cursor, and calculating where in the focused element to simulate a tap when the user double-taps the screen. Note that the frame is in screen coordinates! myElement.accessibilityFrame = frameInScreenCoordina...

VoiceOver works great most of the time, breezily reading aloud screens full of content and intuitively following the user. Alas, no general solution is perfect. Sometimes only you, the app developer, know where VoiceOver should be focused for an optimal user experience. Fortunately, VoiceOver listen...

In many cases, content within a single screen will update with new or different content. For example, imagine a form that reveals additional options based on the user’s answer to a previous question. In this case, a “layout change” notification lets you either announce the change or focus on a new e...

Announcements are useful for alerting users to events that don’t require any interaction, such as “screen locked” or “finished loading.” Use a more specific announcement to notify users of screen changes or more minor layout changes. UIAccessibilityPostNotification(UIAccessibilityAnnouncementNotifi...

VoiceOver can navigate many apps on iOS because most UIKit classes implement UIAccessibilityProtocol. Features that don’t represent onscreen elements using UIView, including apps that leverage Core Graphics or Metal to perform drawing, must describe these elements for accessibility. As of iOS 8.0, t...
