In the Last few Days i tried to .Remove(); some Nodes in a Manifest-File , to specify the Problem i tried to delete the Populated-Files in a Manifest-File with a C# programm. If...

Okay, it looks like LINQ to XML is getting confused because the namespace is declared twice in the root element - once as the default namespace, and once with an alias of asmv2. The simplest solution is just to remove that attribute. To... more 8/6/2014 4:50:39 PM

How do I remove the xmlns="" attribute added to newly created XElement nodes?

When I add new nodes to the root of a node that has a namespace defined, subsequent nodes added all receive xmlns="" attached to to them. This is the code that shows my...

While I suspect this is a duplicate, I can't easily find it. The problem is that in your desired XML, the ContainerCollection, Container and ContainerNumber elements are in the namespace "someNS" as that is the default inherited from their... more 8/6/2014 3:39:01 PM

Equivalent to java packages in C#

I have been looking for a way to make a "package folder" in visual studio express 2013, the way I might do it in java is a "package" I know that I can make whole new projects...

Just add a new folder - then by default, new classes will be in that namespace. So for example, if you have a project called Foo, and you add a folder called Bar, then you'll end up with: namespace Foo.Bar { } at the top of classes in... more 8/6/2014 12:36:43 PM

Refactor class to avoid writing same pattern in every method

I have a class with a lot of static methods for managing database operations. All methods follow this pattern: try { using(var trans = new TransactionScope()) { ...

It sounds like you should pass "method body" in as a delegate: public void GiveMeAProperName(Action<DBContext> databaseAction) { try { using(var trans = new TransactionScope()) { using(var context =... more 8/6/2014 9:40:14 AM

Setting an Integer from a if then statement

I am trying to get it so if i put a piece of code such as if ((variable1 - variable2) < 0) int variable5 = (variable3 + variable4); but this does not seem to work...

You're trying to declare a variable as the only statement in an if statement body. That's not allowed, as it would be pointless - the variable would be out of scope immediately afterwards. Either you should declare the variable first: int... more 8/6/2014 9:11:20 AM

how to increment epoch time by 5 minutes in Scala or Java

val df = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM dd yyyy HH:mm:ss.SSS zzz") var date1 = new Date() println(date1.getTime) Result: 1407309964324 how can i increment it by 5 minutes?

Well, 5 minutes is always 300,000 milliseconds, so: long millis = date1.getTime(); millis += 300000; Date date2 = new Date(millis); Or perhaps more readably: long millis = date1.getTime(); millis +=... more 8/6/2014 7:41:58 AM

Infinite loop breaks method signature without compilation error

I am wondering why is the following code allowed in Java, without getting compilation error? In my opinion, this code breaks method signature by not returning any String. Could...

The final } of the method is unreachable - you only get a compilation error if it's possible to get to the end of the method without returning a value. This is more useful for cases where the end of the method is unreachable due to an... more 8/6/2014 7:26:40 AM

Threading in Forloop C#

I got a requirement where I need to process two Threads simultaneously in a ForLoop. For Example : private void BtnThreading_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { for (int i...

It looks like you don't really need ProcessA to execute in a different thread at all - but you do need to keep track of your previous ProcessB thread. So something like: Thread previousThread = null; for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++) { ... more 8/6/2014 7:08:01 AM

Double ternary Integer initiation causes a null pointer

Why is this fine with x being set to null: boolean condition1 = false; Integer x = condition1 ? 1 : null; And this fine with x being set to 2: boolean condition1 = false,...

(I still think this is a duplicate after you've done a bit of unpacking, but hey...) Expand the one statement into two: // Not exactly the same, but close... Integer tmp = condition2 ? 2 : null; Integer x = condition1 ? 1 : (int)... more 8/6/2014 6:52:42 AM
