Get value from object using Lambda expression

C# > Linq > Expressions > Expression > Compile

Compiles the lambda expression described by the expression tree into executable code and produces a delegate that represents the lambda expression.

Example

Get value from object using Lambda expression

using System;

using System.Linq.Expressions;

using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication1

{

    public partial class Form1 : Form

    {

        public class Project

        {

            public string Name { get; set; }

            public int Id { get; set; }

        }

        public TProp GetValue(TObj obj, Expression<Func> prop)

        {

            return prop.Compile()(obj);

        }

        public Form1()

        {

            InitializeComponent();

        }

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            var project = new Project();

            project.Name = "Project 1";

            project.Id = 1;

            int id = GetValue(project, i => i.Id);

            string name = GetValue(project, i => i.Name);

        }

    }

}

C# > Reflection > Property Info > GetValue

Returns the property value of a specified object.

Example

Get property value from object using reflection.

private static object GetPropValue(object src, string propName)

{

   return src.GetType().GetProperty(propName).GetValue(src, null);

}

Validate Data Models Using DataAnnotations Attributes C#

C# > System > ComponentModel > DataAnnotations

Provides attribute classes that are used to define metadata.

Example

Validate property class with range numbers

using System;

using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;

using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication8

{

    public class Person

    {

        private int id;

        [Display(Name = "Person Id")]

        [Range(0, 1000)]

        public int Id

        {

            get { return id; }

            set

            {

                Validator.ValidateProperty(value,

                    new ValidationContext(this, null, null) { MemberName = "Id" });

                id = value;

            }

        }

    }

    public partial class Form1 : Form

    {

        public Form1()

        {

            InitializeComponent();

        }

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            Person p = new Person();

            p.Id = 1;

            p.Id = 1001;

        }

    }

}

Rename files from a folder C#

C# > Files > File Class > Move

Moves a specified file to a new location.

• option to specify a new file name

Example 

Rename files from a folder 

DirectoryInfo d = new DirectoryInfo(@"D:\folder");

FileInfo[] infos = d.GetFiles("*.*");

int i = 1;

foreach (FileInfo f in infos)

{

  File.Move(f.FullName, Path.Combine(f.DirectoryName, + i.ToString() + ".jpg"));

  i++;

}

Mock Assembly Unit Test C#

C# > Unit tests > Mock Assembly 

If you try to mock

var mock = new Mock<Assembly>();

You will get this error:

The type System.Reflection.Assembly implements ISerializable, but failed to provide a deserialization constructor

Solution

Mock _Assembly interface instead of Assembly class.

var mock = new Mock<_Assembly>();

mock.Setup(w => w.GetTypes()).Throws(new Exception());

yield C# Example with KeyValuePair

C# > Keywords > yield

Yield  returns each element one at a time.

When to use:

• when calculate the next item in the list 
• for infinite sets

Example

IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<string, string>> dataList = GetData();

dataList.ToList().ForEach(s => MessageBox.Show(s.Key + s.Value));

private IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<string, string>> GetData()

{

yield return new KeyValuePair<string, string>("1", "A");

yield return new KeyValuePair<string, string>("2", "B");

yield return new KeyValuePair<string, string>("3", "C");

}

Concatenate list of strings c#

C#>  Enumerable > Aggregate

Aggregate performs a calculation over a sequence of values.

Example

List<string> items = new List<string>() { "1", "2", "3", "4" };

var x = items.Aggregate((a, b) => a + "," + b); // "1,2,3,4"
