Results in descending order

I've got a block of code which sums up time togged for various tasks in a project and returns the total hours logged per project (intMinutesLogged). How do I get my results n descending order?
static async void NotifyEntriesByWorkSpace(Dictionary<string, List<TimeEntry>> dicEntriesByWorkspace, string strChatURL)
{
string strMessage = "";
foreach (var kvpEntry in dicEntriesByWorkspace)
{
var lstTimeEntries = kvpEntry.Value;
string strTitle = "";
var intMinutesLogged = 0;
var intMinutesBillable = 0;
var intMinutesNonBillable = 0;
foreach (var objTimeEntry in lstTimeEntries)
{
if (objTimeEntry.Billable)
{
intMinutesBillable += objTimeEntry.TimeInMinutes;
}
else
{
intMinutesNonBillable += objTimeEntry.TimeInMinutes;
}
}
strTitle = Workspaces.getWorkspaceFromCache(kvpEntry.Key).Title;
//Console.WriteLine(intMinutesLogged + ": " + strTitle + "m");
intMinutesLogged = intMinutesBillable + intMinutesNonBillable;
Console.WriteLine(TimeLoggedMessage(intMinutesLogged) + ": " + strTitle + " " + "(Billable: " + TimeLoggedMessage(intMinutesBillable) + ";" + " " + "Non-Billable: " + TimeLoggedMessage(intMinutesNonBillable) + ")");
strMessage += TimeLoggedMessage(intMinutesLogged) + ": " + strTitle + " " + "(Billable: " + TimeLoggedMessage(intMinutesBillable) + ";" + " " + "Non-Billable: " + TimeLoggedMessage(intMinutesNonBillable) + ")" + "\n";
}
await SendMessage(strChatURL, strMessage);
}
static string TimeLoggedMessage(int intMinutesLogged)
{
return intMinutesLogged / 60 + "h" + " " + intMinutesLogged % 60 + "m";
}

You could use LINQ for this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.linq.enumerable.orderbydescending?view=net-6.0
You could create a simple class or anonymous type to hold the integer values you're summing up (total minutes, billable minutes, non-billable minutes). Then you could populate a collection of this type within the code you shared and afterwards call OrderByDescending on it. You could order based on any of the three integer values.

Why 'innerhtml' does not work properly for 'select' tag

I am trying to set the innerhtml of an html select tag but I cannot set this feature;therefor,I need to use the outerhtml feature.This way,not only is my code HARDCODE ,but also it is preposterous.I have already read 'InnerHTML IE 8 doesn't work properly? Resetting form',it did not help though.
I would really appreciate it if you tell me how to set the innerhtml feature of an html select tag.
My C# code:
public void SetDefaultValue(string ControlID, string ControlValue)
{
System.Windows.Forms.HtmlDocument doc = webBrowser1.Document;
HtmlElement HTMLControl = doc.GetElementById(ControlID);
string ListResult;
string ListInnerHTML = "";
ListInnerHTML += "<OPTION value = " + LstString + ">" + LstString + "</OPTION>";
ListResult = "<SELECT id = " + '"' + HTMLControl.Id + '"' + " type = " + '"' + HTMLControl.GetAttribute("type") + '"' + " title = " + '"' +
HTMLControl.GetAttribute("title") + '"' + " name = " + '"' + HTMLControl.Name + '"' + " value = " + '"' + HTMLControl.GetAttribute("value") +
'"' + " size = \"" + HTMLControl.GetAttribute("size") + '"' + HTMLControl.GetAttribute("multiple").ToString() + "\">" + ListInnerHTML + "</SELECT>";
HTMLControl.OuterHtml = ListResult;
}
or
string _lsthtml = _htmlel.OuterHtml;
string[] _parts = ControlValue.Split(new char[] { ',' });
string _lstinner = "";
foreach (string _lst in _parts)
_lstinner += "<option value=" + _lst + ">" + _lst + "</option>";
_lsthtml = _lsthtml.Insert(_lsthtml.IndexOf(">") + 1, _lstinner);
_htmlel.OuterHtml = _lsthtml;
This code works but I need something efficient and clean.
The ReturnControlType function returns the type of an html tag.

This is an official Internet Explorer bug:
BUG: Internet Explorer Fails to Set the innerHTML Property of the Select Object.
One workaround
You may try adding one of the following meta tags in your document's head:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
or
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=10" />
You should also properly format the option tag's value attribute (enclose LstString in '):
ListInnerHTML += "<OPTION value='" + LstString + "'>" + LstString + "</OPTION>";
A more reliable solution
As the fixes above might be a workaround for your code, I would suggest to use a more reliable approach. Consider adding a reference to Microsoft.mshtml to your project and modifying your method like this:
// add this to the top of the file containing your class
using mshtml;
public void SetDefaultValue(string ControlID, string ControlValue)
{
System.Windows.Forms.HtmlDocument doc = webBrowser1.Document;
IHTMLDocument2 document = doc.DomDocument as IHTMLDocument2;
var sel = doc.GetElementById(ControlID);
HTMLSelectElement domSelect = (HTMLSelectElement)sel.DomElement;
domSelect.options.length = 0;
HTMLOptionElement option;
// here you can dynamically add the options to the select element
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
option = (HTMLOptionElement)document.createElement("option");
option.text = String.Format("text{0}", i);
option.value = String.Format("value{0}", i);
domSelect.options.add(option, 0);
}
}

I really don't know why innerHTML is not working for you.
If it just dosen't you could try an alternative:

demo

In this thread it is sugested you use the items collection of a control

JavaScript Google map marker bug

I'm currently working on an ASP.NET project where I'm using the Google Maps API to show a marker for every company that's registrated in the database.
Everything works just fine, but when I click on a marker the tooltip/dialogbox for the last company in my company list always shows up and not the actualy company mark that's been clicked on.
I can't really get my head around why it is always the last marker that shows up. Here's my updated code:
JavaScript.Text = #"<script type='text/javascript'>
function load() {
if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById('map'));
map.setCenter(new GLatLng(56.4, 10.57983), 9);
map.enableScrollWheelZoom();
}
}
</script> ";
foreach (MemberProfile m in relatedMembers)
{
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
string address = m.Address;
string zip = m.Zip;
string city = m.City;
string navn = m.Name;
string tlf = m.Phone;
doc.Load("http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address=" + zip + "+" + city + "+" + address + "+DK&sensor=true&key=ABQIAAAAEaY4JLb9fZFGMlDKuMUlWBRSvyGIkBO7X03pzlT7Z30EPXHR8BS0rXL_ShFm2gc79lZTw2Zak88wng");
XmlNode latNode = doc.SelectSingleNode("GeocodeResponse/result/geometry/location/lat/text()");
XmlNode lonNode = doc.SelectSingleNode("GeocodeResponse/result/geometry/location/lng/text()");
if (latNode != null && lonNode != null)
{
JSAddMarkers.Text += #"<script type='text/javascript'>
var marker = new GMarker(new GLatLng(" + latNode.Value + "," + lonNode.Value + ")); "
+ "var html = '<b>" + navn + "</b><br />" + address + "<br /> " + zip + " " + city + "<br />" + tlf + "'; " + "GEvent.addListener(marker, 'click', function() { marker.openInfoWindowHtml(html); });"
+ "map.addOverlay(marker);"
+ "</script>";
}
If any of you out there can spot the reason why, I would be happy to hear from you! Any help/hint is appreciated :-)
All the best,
Bo

try this
var point =new GLatLng(" + latNode.Value + "," + lonNode.Value + ");
var marker = createMarker(point, address,zip,city,navn);
map.addOverlay(marker);
function createMarker(point, address, zip,city, navn) {
var marker = new GMarker(point, customIcons[type]);
var html = "Address:<b style='padding-left:6px'>" + address+ "</b><br/>zip:<b style='padding-left:6px'>"+ zip+ "</b><br/>city:<b style='padding-left:6px'>"+ city+ "</b>";
GEvent.addListener(marker, 'mouseover', function() {
marker.openInfoWindowHtml(html);
});
GEvent.addListener(marker, "mouseout", function() {
marker.closeInfoWindow();
});
return marker;
}

Browser detection

I need to separate IE and FF browsers from others
it's a pseudo-code :
If (CurrentBrowser == IE(6+) or FF(2+) )
{
...
}
else
{
...
}
in protected void Page_Load() event (think so)
if ((Request.Browser.Type == "IE") || (Request.Browser.Type == "FF"))
{
WebMsgBox.Show("1111");
}
no effects :-/ what is IE and FF types?

if (Request.Browser.Type.Contains("Firefox")) // replace with your check
{
...
}
else if (Request.Browser.Type.ToUpper().Contains("IE")) // replace with your check
{
if (Request.Browser.MajorVersion < 7)
{
DoSomething();
}
...
}
else { }

Here's a way you can request info about the browser being used, you can use this to do your if statement
System.Web.HttpBrowserCapabilities browser = Request.Browser;
string s = "Browser Capabilities\n"
+ "Type = " + browser.Type + "\n"
+ "Name = " + browser.Browser + "\n"
+ "Version = " + browser.Version + "\n"
+ "Major Version = " + browser.MajorVersion + "\n"
+ "Minor Version = " + browser.MinorVersion + "\n"
+ "Platform = " + browser.Platform + "\n"
+ "Is Beta = " + browser.Beta + "\n"
+ "Is Crawler = " + browser.Crawler + "\n"
+ "Is AOL = " + browser.AOL + "\n"
+ "Is Win16 = " + browser.Win16 + "\n"
+ "Is Win32 = " + browser.Win32 + "\n"
+ "Supports Frames = " + browser.Frames + "\n"
+ "Supports Tables = " + browser.Tables + "\n"
+ "Supports Cookies = " + browser.Cookies + "\n"
+ "Supports VBScript = " + browser.VBScript + "\n"
+ "Supports JavaScript = " +
browser.EcmaScriptVersion.ToString() + "\n"
+ "Supports Java Applets = " + browser.JavaApplets + "\n"
+ "Supports ActiveX Controls = " + browser.ActiveXControls
+ "\n";
MSDN Article

Try the below code
HttpRequest req = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request
string browserName = req.Browser.Browser;

private void BindDataBInfo()
{
System.Web.HttpBrowserCapabilities browser = Request.Browser;
Literal1.Text = "<table border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"3\" cellpadding=\"2\">";
foreach (string key in browser.Capabilities.Keys)
{
Literal1.Text += "<tr><td>" + key + "</td><td>" + browser[key] + "</tr>";
}
Literal1.Text += "</table>";
browser = null;
}

I would not advise hacking browser-specific things manually with JS. Either use a javascript library like "prototype" or "jquery", which will handle all the specific issues transparently.
Or use these libs to determine the browser type if you really must.
Also see Browser & version in prototype library?

For browser compatibility you can use this code. This method returns browser name and version :
private string GetBrowserNameWithVersion
{
var userAgent = Request.UserAgent;
var browserWithVersion = "";
if (userAgent.IndexOf("Edge") > -1)
{
//Edge
browserWithVersion = "Edge Browser Version : " + userAgent.Split(new string[] { "Edge/" }, StringSplitOptions.None)[1].Split('.')[0];
}
else if (userAgent.IndexOf("Chrome") > -1)
{
//Chrome
browserWithVersion = "Chrome Browser Version : " + userAgent.Split(new string[] { "Chrome/" }, StringSplitOptions.None)[1].Split('.')[0];
}
else if (userAgent.IndexOf("Safari") > -1)
{
//Safari
browserWithVersion = "Safari Browser Version : " + userAgent.Split(new string[] { "Safari/" }, StringSplitOptions.None)[1].Split('.')[0];
}
else if (userAgent.IndexOf("Firefox") > -1)
{
//Firefox
browserWithVersion = "Firefox Browser Version : " + userAgent.Split(new string[] { "Firefox/" }, StringSplitOptions.None)[1].Split('.')[0];
}
else if (userAgent.IndexOf("rv") > -1)
{
//IE11
browserWithVersion = "Internet Explorer Browser Version : " + userAgent.Split(new string[] { "rv:" }, StringSplitOptions.None)[1].Split('.')[0];
}
else if (userAgent.IndexOf("MSIE") > -1)
{
//IE6-10
browserWithVersion = "Internet Explorer Browser Version : " + userAgent.Split(new string[] { "MSIE" }, StringSplitOptions.None)[1].Split('.')[0];
}
else if (userAgent.IndexOf("Other") > -1)
{
//Other
browserWithVersion = "Other Browser Version : " + userAgent.Split(new string[] { "Other" }, StringSplitOptions.None)[1].Split('.')[0];
}
return browserWithVersion;
}

I tried and found the solution for the same
public static string GetBrowserDetails()
{
string BrowserDetails = HttpContext.Current.Request.Browser.Browser + " - " + HttpContext.Current.Request.Browser.Version + "; Operating System : " + HttpContext.Current.Request.Browser.Platform;
return BrowserDetails;
}
OUTPUT :
Chrome - 88.0; Operating System : WinNT

use from
Request.Browser

selenium c#

I wrote a function for extracting attribute "name" of object 'combo box' from browser. But after execution function finishes with an error.
This is the error message:
Selenium.SeleniumException : ERROR: Command execution failure.The error message is: The expression cannot be converted to return the specified type.
This is my function:
public void hladame_combo ()
{
//combo boxes
string nazov_combo;
decimal celkovy_pocet_combo = selenium.GetXpathCount("//select");
int c = 1;
string pomoc = "";
for (c = 1;c<=celkovy_pocet_combo;c++)
{
nazov_combo = selenium.GetAttribute("xpath=//select" + pomoc + "#name");
pomoc = pomoc + " and #name!= '" + nazov_combo + "'";
Console.WriteLine(nazov_combo);
}
Console.WriteLine ("Celkovy pocet combo boxov je = " + celkovy_pocet_combo);
}

problem was in xpath ...
solution is not ideal but helpfull
solution: nazov_combo =
selenium.GetAttribute("xpath=//select[#class != '' " + " " + pomoc + "]#name");
