Select value from string

I have this code that is telling a system to open the tab "Employee" in a WPF client.
class Startup
{
public void Init()
{
var screen = Tabs.Employee;
Tabs.OpenTab(screen, null);
}
}
What I would like to do is something like this:
string screenName = "Employee";
var screen = Tabs.screenName;
In order to be able to pass the Employee as a value.
The Tabs class looks like this:
public class Tabs
{
public delegate void AddDockTab(string controlName, object argument = null);
public const string Empty = "Empty";
public const string Employee = "Employee";
public const string Customer = "Customer";
private static UnicontaTabs utab;
public static event AddDockTab OnAddDockTab;
protected Tabs()
{
utab = this;
}
public static void OpenTab(string controlName, object argument)
{
if (utab != null)
{
utab.AddTab(controlName, argument);
}
}
protected virtual void AddTab(string controlName, object argument)
{
Tabs.OnAddDockTab?.Invoke(controlName, argument);
}
public static IEnumerable<string> GetControlNames()
{
FieldInfo[] fields = typeof(Tabs).GetFields(BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.Public);
return fields.Select((FieldInfo f) => f.Name);
}
}

Dialog flow chat bot token expires every 5 minutes

I have been working on a project with unity about chat bots using dialog flow,
the problem I am facing is as follows: I have to run some commands in order to retrieve the token from google in terminal then a C# script uses this token to run some functions but the problem is that the token expires every 5 minutes since I m consuming the API so is there a way to automate the process in a bash script file where It can run the commands and get the token then it is directly used in the C# script.

Set value of a static variable using a function

I have declared some static variables in my solution as below,
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Configuration;
namespace SSPWAS.Utilities
{
public class Constants
{
public static string ApproverlevelL1 = "M23";
public static string ApproverlevelL2 = "Cre";
public static string ApproverlevelL3 = "Free34";
public static string ApproverlevelL4 = "CDF";
public static string ApproverlevelL5 = "FM";
}
}
My question is, If i try to set it the like below then i get the error as :
An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or
property
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Configuration;
namespace SSPWAS.Utilities
{
public class Constants
{
public static string ApproverlevelL1 = getLevel("1");
public static string ApproverlevelL2 = getLevel("2");
public static string ApproverlevelL3 = getLevel("3");
public static string ApproverlevelL4 = getLevel("4");
public static string ApproverlevelL5 = getLevel("5");
}
}
public string getLevel(string levelID)
{
string levelName;
//logic here
return levelName;
}
So how can i achieve this?

Looks like you are trying to call an instance method (non-static) from a static property.
Try making your method static:
public string getLevel(string levelID)
{
string levelName;
//logic here
return levelName;
}

Do you mean this:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Configuration;
namespace SSPWAS.Utilities
{
public static class Constants
{
public static string ApproverlevelL1 = getLevel("1");
public static string ApproverlevelL2 = getLevel("2");
public static string ApproverlevelL3 = getLevel("3");
public static string ApproverlevelL4 = getLevel("4");
public static string ApproverlevelL5 = getLevel("5");
private static string getLevel(string levelID)
{
string levelName;
logic here
return levelName;
}
}
}

If your issue is that you want the getLevel method to be in a different class, you could add a Function into your static class and override it with the method.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Configuration;
namespace SSPWAS.Utilities
{
public class Constants
{
public static Func<string, string> getLevel = x => string.Empty;
// added get accessor to make these read only
public static string ApproverlevelL1 { get; } = getLevel("1");
public static string ApproverlevelL2 { get; } = getLevel("2");
public static string ApproverlevelL3 { get; } = getLevel("3");
public static string ApproverlevelL4 { get; } = getLevel("4");
public static string ApproverlevelL5 { get; } = getLevel("5");
}
public class WhateverClass
{
public string getLevel(string levelID)
{
string levelName;
//logic here
return levelName;
}
// call this before accessing the fields in your Constants class
public void Init()
{
Constants.getLevel = x => getLevel(x);
}
}
}
The only reason I can think of to do this is maybe you have two applications using this static class and they need to get the level differently. Maybe one uses actual constant values and another reads a database, etc.
If you don't require this then the simplest answer is to actually put the method into the class as a static method:
namespace SSPWAS.Utilities
{
public class Constants
{
public static string getLevel(string levelID)
{
string levelName;
//logic here
return levelName;
}
// added get accessor to make these read only
public static string ApproverlevelL1 { get; } = getLevel("1");
public static string ApproverlevelL2 { get; } = getLevel("2");
public static string ApproverlevelL3 { get; } = getLevel("3");
public static string ApproverlevelL4 { get; } = getLevel("4");
public static string ApproverlevelL5 { get; } = getLevel("5");
}
}

Your "constants" are not constant. Make them readonly if you want them to behave like constants while making use of initialising static members with values. You could also make them properties and use just the get accessor to call the getLevel method.
As others have pointed out you cannot call a non-static member from within a static member, without instantiating an instance of the non-static class.
Your getLevel method also needs to be in its own class. As it stands it doesn't belong to a class or namespace. If you want it in its own separate class then just set the method to static.
.NET naming conventions recommend you use Pascal Casing for methods. So rename your getLevel method.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Configuration;
namespace SSPWAS.Utilities
{
public static class Constants
{
// Use readonly static members
public static readonly string
ApproverlevelL1 = GetLevel("1"),
ApproverlevelL2 = GetLevel("2"),
ApproverlevelL3 = GetLevel("3"),
ApproverlevelL4 = GetLevel("4"),
ApproverlevelL5 = GetLevel("5");
// Or you could use the latest convenient syntax
public static string ApproverLevelL6 => GetLevel("6");
// Or you could use readonly properties
public static string ApproverLevelL7 { get { return GetLevel("7"); } }
private static string GetLevel(string levelId)
{
//... do logic
return "";
}
}
}
Or if you want the method in its own class:
public static class Constants
{
// Use readonly static members
public static readonly string
ApproverlevelL1 = Level.Get("1"),
ApproverlevelL2 = Level.Get("2"),
ApproverlevelL3 = Level.Get("3"),
ApproverlevelL4 = Level.Get("4"),
ApproverlevelL5 = Level.Get("5");
// Or you could use the latest convenient syntax
public static string ApproverLevelL6 => Level.Get("6");
// Or you could use readonly properties
public static string ApproverLevelL7 { get { return Level.Get("7"); } }
}
public class Level
{
public static string Get(string levelId)
{
//... do logic
return "";
}
}

C# json deserialize to (this) inside object

I am trying to get an object to deserialize into itself. I have tride the following:-
public class JobID
{
public string jobname;
public string first;
public string second;
public string third;
public string clientName;
public string workflow;
}
public void load(string fname)
{
string s = File.ReadAllText(fname);
this = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<JobID>(s);
}
But the word this is 'read only' according to the error I get.
I have used 'this.jobname = "X";' before so clearly 'this' is not read only.
I am using Newtonsof.Json.

Why not use static method to load the object. Such as :
public class JobID
{
public string jobname;
public string first;
public string second;
public string third;
public string clientName;
public string workflow;
public static JobId Load(string fname){
string s = File.ReadAllText(fname);
return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<JobID>(s);
}
}

Although you can assign a value to a property of 'this', you can't change the object to which 'this' refers to.
The 'this' keyword refers to the current object instance in the context (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/keywords/this).
Assuming the Load function is inside another object (or static), you could do something like:
public class JobID
{
public string jobname;
public string first;
public string second;
public string third;
public string clientName;
public string workflow;
}
public class JobReader
{
// Property to store deserialized object
public JobID Job { get; set; }
public void load(string fname)
{
string s = File.ReadAllText(fname);
// Assign object to property.
this.JobID = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<JobID>(s);
}
}

You can use the static method as suggested by Xbotter to create a new instance. But for some reason if you want to deserialize the file content into current object only, then easiest way would be:
public class JobID
{
public string jobname;
public string first;
public string second;
public string third;
public string clientName;
public string workflow;
public void load(string fname)
{
string s = File.ReadAllText(fname);
JobID tmp = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<JobID>(s);
copy(tmp);
}
public void copy(JobID tmp)
{
this.jobname = tmp.jobname;
// do the same for other properties that you want to copy
}
}

If you want to do this without a static method, you can use the JsonSerializer.Populate method. Example code:
public class JobID
{
public string jobname;
public string first;
public string second;
public string third;
public string clientName;
public string workflow;
public void load(string fname)
{
string s = File.ReadAllText(fname);
new JsonSerializer().Populate(new JsonTextReader(new StringReader(s)), this);
}
}

Anssssss provided the answer I've been looking for years. Thank you!
This is how I used it:
bool bOk = false;
StreamReader myFileStream = null;
Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializer mySerializer = new Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializer();
try
{
myFileStream = File.OpenText(sFilePath);
mySerializer.Populate(myFileStream, this);
bOk = true;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
string sException = e.ToString();
CHelper.ThrowException(new Exception(sException + "\n\n" + sFilePath));
}
finally
{
if (myFileStream != null)
{
myFileStream.Close();
}
}
return bOk;

T4 template to generate relative path of solution files

T4MVC might be what you are looking for. It is a T4 template for ASP.NET MVC apps that will create strongly typed helpers. It will generate a set of classes that you can use instead of using strings. For static files such as javascript files there will be a set of classes such as:
Links.Scripts.jquery_validate_js
This will return a string of the form "~/Scripts/jquery.validate.js".
For a WebForms project David Ebbo created a simple T4 template called AspPathGuru.tt. This currently only supports .aspx, .ascx and .master files. However if you edit the IgnoreFile method, as shown below, you can generate code for other files:
bool IgnoreFile(FileInfo file) {
// Only look for a few specific extensions
switch (file.Extension.ToLowerInvariant()) {
case ".aspx":
case ".ascx":
case ".js":
case ".css":
case ".master":
return false;
}
return true;
}
This will generate a Paths class you can use as shown below:
Paths.Scripts.jquery_1_4_1_js
