IdeOne is a lot faster and more recent than “Compile and Execute C# Sharp online”
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/04/23
I just bumped into Compile and Execute C# Sharp online.
As of writing, it uses Mono 2.10.2.0 which is quite old, and it is dead slow: it takes more than a minute to compile and execute a simple console application.
The reason is that this is a one man project.
IdeOne is much faster, for instance it took a few seconds to compile and run this simple C# program.

In C#, given a DateTime object, how do I get a ISO8601 date in string format? – Stack Overflow
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/04/22
The first bulleted link below has been living in my drafts like forever (i.e. somewhere since mid June 2009), so time to write a bit about ISO 8601 and .NET.
First a few links about converting a DateTime into ISO 8601 string format:
- In C#, given a DateTime object, how do I get a ISO8601 date in string format? – Stack Overflow.
- datetime – Date format c# – Stack Overflow.
Some solutions use the “K” as a time zone specifier. At first, I couldn’t find any documentation for it, not even Google Search for Google Search for “ssK” DateTime ToString returns anything useful.
Later on, I found The “K” Custom Format Specifier in Custom Date and Time Format Strings.
So my preferred solutions for me are these:
System.DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssK");System.DateTime.Now.ToUniversalTime().ToString("yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssK");
I avoid these:
System.DateTime.Now.ToString("o");
because it gets you too many digits in the second fracion.System.DateTime.Now.ToUniversalTime().ToString("s") + "Z";
because it is less clear what it does (might be resolved with a comment).

.net/C# – Serialize into an XML Fragment – not XML Document – Stack Overflow
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/04/17
Thanks User Andrew Hare – Stack Overflow for answering this on Stack Overflow.
I’m pretty sure it works in all .NET and C# versions starting with 2.0.
Here is a hack-ish way to do it without having to load the entire output string into an XmlDocument: Read the rest of this entry »

c# – Is there a library that gets the media type and subtype out of a HttpWebResponse/WebResponse ContentType? – Stack Overflow
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/04/16
Just asked this on SO: C# – Is there a library that gets the media type and subtype out of a HttpWebResponse/WebResponse ContentType?.
Anyone here or at G+ that has a hint?
The [WayBack] ContentType property of [WayBack] (Http)WebResponse [WayBack] maps to the HTTP/1.1 [WayBack] Content-Type which is a [WayBack] Media-Type that contains a
type/subtypeoptionally followed by parameters which are [WayBack] attribute=value pairs.I’m mainly interested in the
type/subtypeand the [WayBack] charset parameter.The
charsetis mapped from [WayBack] HttpWebRequest.CharacterSet.Is there a library that just retrieves the media
type/subtypeof the [WayBack] ContentType?

Fiddler2 to the max: inserting proxy authentication to use DropBox (or other app) behind a corporate firewall
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/04/16
A while ago, I was working with a not so cooperative corporate firewall. All web browsers would work fine, but most other applications would not go through the proxy in a nice way.
For instance, DropBox would show the dreadfull “Connection Error” dialog shown on the right.
That dialog basically means “Dropbox has no clue what happens, try fiddling with your proxy or account settings, then press Reconnect Now” to retry.
Many other applications had issues (for instance Visual Studio connecting to Team Foundation System was very unreliable and the workarounds clumsy).
CNTLM: not the solution
I got inspired by the [WayBack] I code and code: Tutorial: How to use Dropbox behind a corporate proxy server using CNTLM, even though I was pretty sure the corporate firewall was not NTLM based.
And indeed, CNTLM -v -M http://google.com -c CNTLM.INI would give errors like this:
cntlm: Proxy returning invalid challenge!
headers_send: fd 4 warning -999 (connection closed)
Connection closed
HTTP Fiddler: looks promising
So I fired up my old buddy [WayBack] Fiddler 2 HTTP debugging proxy.
Further on, you will learn that Fiddler2 is much more, but right now it is enough to know that it basically sits as a local proxy between your applications and the outside world. Read the rest of this entry »

How to hang Visual Studio <= 2013
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/04/15
Simple steps on how to hang visual studio:
- Debug a piece that throws an uncatched System.Net.WebException (probably works with many more kinds of exceptions)
- In the “WebException was unhandled by user code” pane, press “View Detail…”
- In the “View Detail” modal dialog, press the * key on your numeric keypad (this is the “Expand all” command for a TreeView)
This will get you a nice box (and no way to close Visual Studio except killing it from the task manager):
Microsoft Visual Studio is Busy
Microsoft Visual Studio is waiting for an internal operation to complete. If you regularly encouter this delay during normal usage, please report this problem to Microsoft.
There seems to be no bounds checking for the “Expand All” functionality.

This Explorer extension is brilliant: Path Copy Copy – Home.
It works in Windows XP and up (including 7, 8 .x, 20xx Server, etc).
The Open Source is done in Visual Studio with C++.
