Dynamically Resize an IFrame According to its contents

2008-11-25T12:30:49Z

problem with iframe is that you can't always predict the size of the content and eventually you'd end up with a scrollbar or even less convenient: a hidden part of the Iframe content this is a straight forward, easy way to make sure that the IFrame is properly resized according to the contents of the page loaded inside the Iframe. this will rely on the browser itself measuring the content width and height this can be done by using the document.body.scrollHeight and document.body.scrollWidth...(read more)

Windows Fake URL test [hosts file]

2008-03-09T12:33:42Z

you can make your application respond with a different behavior based on requested URL, This can be as simple as showing a different logo or as sophisticated as filtering data by that requested domain this is not such a big implementation problem, but it seems hard to test that is if you don't know how to fake that URL request on your localhost well there's a file in this path on a windows environment %windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts this file contains the definition of the keyword "localhost"...(read more)

Yield in c#

2008-02-25T11:47:36Z

i've been trying to explain the keyword yield to a friend of mine for more than an hour and he did not get it. but finally when i typed in this example he finally did 1: class enu :IEnumerable 2: { 3: public IEnumerator GetEnumerator() 4: { 5: yield return 1; 6: yield return 2; 7: yield return 3; 8: } 9: } it actually means that when you are enumerating this object it will return a different value/object on every iteration so the next time i revised this sample it was way easier to grasp the...(read more)

Delegates to LINQ [passing logic as a parameter] (part I)

2008-02-08T17:03:22Z

it's normal to pass data to a function just thow in a parameter of the type of data you want to pass and ur set public int add ( int i, int u ){ return i+u; } now think in a different way, u now want to build a set of operations that the user can choose from now what you need is to build a function that would take the user's input and the operation as parameters and put them together... for instance he has a set of .. customers if you will and he wants to have them filtered in predefined...(read more)

Have u ever needed to extend a string? [Extension Methods]

2007-12-27T14:34:00Z

well it's not inheritable by default so you can not extend it. that used to be the case before c# 3.0 now you can specify all the functionality that you need in an Extension Method. problem lies in that the extension method needs to access the instance of the object you are extending well, it goes like this 1- first you declare a static class with ur static extension method an extension method is defined by the first parameter refering to the instance of the object it's going to extend using...(read more)

Object and Collection Initializers

2007-12-26T13:03:00Z

well also one of the nicest features in c# 3.0 is the object initializers well we used to do this 1: Employee emp = new Employee(); 2: emp.FirstName= "Amir" ; 3: emp.LastName= "Magdy" ; 4: emp.Title = "Mr." ; i actually hated writing this previous snippet now in c# 3.0 we do this 1: var emp = new Employee {FirstName= "Amir" ,LastName= "Magdy" ,Title= "Mr." }; u c that's just one line it's really nicer now that u don't have to...(read more)

Auto Implemented Properties

2007-12-24T10:23:00Z

C# 3 comes with a very nice feature (not undermining the power of lambda expressions and Linq), just this one shows how nice the language has evolved into 1: class Employee 2: { 3: public string firstName { get; set; } 4: } you see the previous code will act as a full blown property that maintains its instance value internally the compiler creates a member and maintains the value for the property and u can use it in the usual way 1: var emp = new Employee(); 2: emp.firstName = "Amir" ;...(read more)
