converter

I'm just about to start a new project of mine and am currently evaluating some techniques for localization, modularity etc. I have (at least in my opinion) a pretty good approach to localization but now I struggle to find a good solution for databinding. I want to bind values of textfields etc. (UIElements in general) to a specific method in the DataContext of the form. The method looks like this: public void GetValue(string name) where name is a "path" in the form of "node/subnode/subsubnode". I thought about using a ValueConverter for the binding and this worked out pretty good till now. My

Currently I'm using the following code snippet to convert a .txt file with XML data to .CSV format. My question is this, currently this works perfectly with files that are around 100-200 mbs and the conversion time is very low (1-2 minutes max), However I now need this to work for much bigger files (1-2 GB's each file). Currently the program freezes the computer and the conversion takes about 30-40 minutes with this function. Not sure how I would proceed changing this function. Any help will be appreciated! string all_lines = File.ReadAllText(p); all_lines = "<Root>" + all_lines + "</Root>";

I really don't understand WPF and XAML, and inherited some terribly written code, so I may be butchering this, but here goes. I inherited a DataGrid bound (in code behind) to a list of Person objects, where the necessary DataGridTextColumns are specified in XAML (presumably to allow styling). <DataGrid x:Name="PersonGrid" ItemsSource="{Binding}" AutoGenerateColumns="False"> <DataGrid.Columns> <DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding Path=LastName}" MaxWidth="Infinity" MinWidth="150" Header="Last Name"> <DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding Path=FirstName}" MaxWidth="Infinity" MinWidth="150"

I have a small sample of test code where I try to convert a Map into a JSON string and back. While parsing from the JSON string, the resulting map contains the String key "1" instead of the Integer key "1", thus making the test fail. The same happens with POJOs used as the key to this map. Is this behaviour expected or have I ommited some configuration for the JSON converters? public class SampleConverterTest { @Test public void testIntegerKey() { // Register an Integer converter JSON.registerConvertor(Integer.class, new JSONPojoConvertor(Integer.class)); Map<Integer, String> map = new HashMap

I'm trying to make a bot for Facebook Messenger using Microsoft's Bot Framework that will do this: Get a user's voice message sent via Facebook Messenger Convert speech to text Do something with it There's no problem with getting the voice message from Messenger (the URL can be extracted from the message the bot receives), and there's also no problem with converting an audio file to speech (using Bing Speech API or Google's similar API). However, these APIs require PCM (WAV) files, while Facebook Messenger gives you an MP4 file. Is there a popular/standard way of converting one format into

I guess my main question is, will this always work as long as I don't re-initialize (new byte[#]) the array that was passed as the parameter? static unsafe decimal GetDecimal(byte[] ba) { decimal* decimal_PTR; fixed (byte* byte_PTR = &ba[0]) { decimal_PTR = ((decimal*)byte_PTR); } return *decimal_PTR; } I'm not sure how C# handles arrays in memory. I didn't even know they were managed types until about an hour ago. I just want to know if I pass in a decimal as a byte[], will it always return the correct value? Any other information you can provide is appreciated. After @MJLaukala's
