I have been looking at this: http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/wpapps/Custom-LongList-Selector-bf8cb9ad and trying to incorporate into my app. However, its a little confusing since my data is loaded differently. Right now, I have two errors The best overloaded method match for CustomKeyGroup<.ViewModels.SoundData>.GetSoundGroups(System.Collections.Generic.List<.ViewModels.SoundData>)' has some invalid arguments
Argument 1: cannot convert from 'string' to 'System.Collections.Generic.List'
The error is at 'CustomKeyGroup.GetSoundGroups(mvm.Items);' from the mainpage.cs. I know the items is an issue. If you look at the link, they load the data differently w/ listmovie.add.
I know something is screwed up big time but since my data is loaded different, im struggling to get it working correctly.
Id like to have custom jumplist w/ headers by Groups (Alpha, Bravo, etc) located in my SoundModel. Here is a portion:
namespace T.ViewModels
{
public class SoundModel: BindableBase
{
public SoundGroup NewAdds { get; set; }
public SoundGroup Software { get; set; }
}
public bool IsDataLoaded { get; set; }
public void LoadData()
{
// Load data into the model
Software = CreateSoftwareGroup();
NewAdds = CreateNewAddsGroup();
IsDataLoaded = true;
}
private SoundGroup CreateNewAddsGroup()
{
SoundGroup data = new SoundGroup();
data.Title = "New";
string basePath = "assets/audio/newadds/";
data.Items.Add(new SoundData
{
Title = "Test1",
FilePath = basePath + "Test.mp3",
Groups = "Alpha"
});
data.Items.Add(new SoundData
{
Title = "Test2",
FilePath = basePath + "Test2.mp3",
Groups="Bravo"
});
data.Items.Add(new SoundData
{
Title = "Test3",
FilePath = basePath + "Test3.mp3",
Groups= "Zulu"
});
private SoundGroup CreateSoftwareGroup()
{
SoundGroup data = new SoundGroup();
data.Title = "Software";
string basePath = "assets/audio/Software/";
data.Items.Add(new SoundData
{
Title = "Test1",
FilePath = basePath + "Test.mp3",
Groups = "Alpha"
});
data.Items.Add(new SoundData
{
Title = "Test2",
FilePath = basePath + "Test2.mp3",
Groups="Bravo"
});
data.Items.Add(new SoundData
{
Title = "Test3",
FilePath = basePath + "Test3.mp3",
Groups= "Zulu"
});
Here is the relevant mainpage.cs:
SoundData mvm = new SoundData();
this.LongList.ItemsSource = CustomKeyGroup<SoundData>.GetSoundGroups(mvm.Items);
SoundGroup:
{
public class SoundGroup
{
public SoundGroup()
{
Items = new List<SoundData>();
}
public List<SoundData> Items { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public string Groups { get; set; }
}
}
SoundData :
{
public class SoundData : ViewModelBase
{
public string Title { get; set; }
public string FilePath { get; set; }
public string Items { get; set; }
public string Groups { get; set; }
public RelayCommand<string> SaveSoundAsRingtone { get; set; }
private void ExecuteSaveSoundAsRingtone(string soundPath)
{
App.Current.RootVisual.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(() =>
{
SaveRingtoneTask task = new SaveRingtoneTask();
task.Source = new Uri("appdata:/" + this.FilePath);
task.DisplayName = this.Title;
task.Show();
}
);
}
public SoundData()
{
SaveSoundAsRingtone = new RelayCommand<string>(ExecuteSaveSoundAsRingtone);
}
}
}
So far from I what can see you should be calling the function as below
SoundModel svm = new SoundModel();
svm.LoadData();
this.LongList.ItemsSource = CustomKeyGroup<SoundData>.GetSoundGroups(svm.Software.Items);
or
this.LongList.ItemsSource = CustomKeyGroup<SoundData>.GetSoundGroups(svm.NewAdds.Items);
the reason is that you need to pass a Generic.List<.ViewModels.SoundData> in method GetSoundGroups and the list is contained in SoundGroup class. Since your data loaded is within SoundModel class so I could probably think of the above implementation only.

I'm writing a code to read values from a table storage. The code is similar to printing nodes in a tree level by level.
eg:
root
Level1child1 -> Level1child2 -> Level1child3
string tablename = "<table-name">;
string storageAccountName = "<storage-account-name";
var baseurl = #$"https://{storageAccountName}.table.core.windows.net/{tableName}()";
var sastoken = getAccountSASToken();
string filter = #"&$filter=PartitionKey%20eq%20'123'%20and%20RowKey%20eq%20'abc'";
baseurl = $"{baseurl}{sastoken}{filter}";
var data = HttpHelper.GetForOData(baseurl);
var responseData = data.Data.Replace(".", "_");
var odata = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<ODataResponse>(responseData);
Queue<int> strQ = new Queue<int>();
Console.WriteLine(odata.value[0].Email);
strQ.Enqueue(odata.value[0].TreeNodeID);
while (strQ.Any())
{
var url = #$"https://{storageAccountName}.table.core.windows.net/{tableName}()";
var token = _tableStorageRepository.GetAccountSASToken();
filter = #"&$filter=ParentNodeId%20eq%20" + strQ.Peek();
url = $"{url}{token}{filter}";
data = HttpHelper.GetForOData(url);
responseData = data.Data.Replace(".", "_");
odata = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<ODataResponse>(responseData);
foreach (var m in odata?.value)
{
Console.WriteLine(m.Email);
strQ.Enqueue(m.TreeNodeID);
}
strQ.Dequeue();
}
public class ODataResponse
{
public string odata_metadata { get; set; }
public List<ODatavalue> value { get; set; }
}
public class ODatavalue
{
public string odata_type { get; set; }
public string odata_id { get; set; }
public string odata_etag { get; set; }
public string odata_editLink { get; set; }
public string RowKey { get; set; }
public string Email { get; set; }
public int ParentNodeID { get; set; }
public int TreeNodeID { get; set; }
}
Code for HttpHelper class: https://github.com/xyz92/httphelper/blob/master/HttpHelper.cs
The first time when I ran this code, it only printed root node.
The second time when I ran this code, it printed root node and Level1child1 node.
For the next runs, it printed root node, Level1child1 node & Level1child2 node.
The last node Level1child3 node is getting printed very rarely on some runs.
What am I missing in this code?

I was trying to make a txt file, then rename the extension to .json, I have the encoding step and the WriteAllLines step done, but how do I encode the text?(I have the string needed to write)
Here's the code
string[] lines = { "{", "\"version\": 1,", "\"schema_version\": 2,", "",
$"\"id\": \"{textBox14.Text}\",", "", $"\"title\": \"{textBox7.Text}\",",
$"\"title_localized\": \"{textBox18.Text}\",", "", $"\"artist\": \"{textBox6.Text}\",",
$"\"artist_localized\": \"{textBox8.Text}\",", $"\"artist_source\": \"{textBox9.Text}\",",
$"", $"\"illustrator\": \"{textBox10.Text}\",", $"\"illustrator_source\": \"{textBox11.Text}\",",
$"", $"\"charter\": \"{textBox13.Text}\",", $"", "\"music\": {",
$"\"path\": \"{textBox4.Text}\"", "}", "\"music_preview\": {", $"\"path\": \"{textBox5.Text}\"", "}",
"\"background\": {", $"\"path\": \"{open3.FileName}\"", "}",
"\"charts\": [", "{", "\"type\": \"easy\",", $"\"name\": \"{textBox15.Text}\",",
$"\"difficulty\": {numericUpDown1.Value},", $"\"path\": \"textBox1.Text\"", "},",
"{", "\"type\": \"hard\",", $"\"name\": \"{textBox16.Text}\",", $"\"difficulty\": {numericUpDown2.Value},",
$"\"path\": \"{textBox2.Text}\"", "},", $"]", $"", "}" };
Encoding utf8WithoutBom = new UTF8Encoding(true);
File.WriteAllLines($#"C:\Users\Public\Desktop\level files\{textBox14.Text}\level.json", lines);
It was supposed to be something like this:
https://cytoid.io/level.json
Short answer:
Change this:
File.WriteAllLines($#"C:\Users\Public\Desktop\level files\{textBox14.Text}\level.json", lines);
to this:
File.WriteAllLines($#"C:\Users\Public\Desktop\level files\{textBox14.Text}\level.json", lines, utf8WithoutBom);
Long answer:
You shouldn't be generating JSON like this; you should be using a dedicated serializer. With your current solution, if a user enters an invalid character, your JSON will immediately become invalid. So, as a solution you could use Newtonsoft's JSON.Net. Here is an example:
Class definitions
public class Item
{
public int Version { get; set; }
public int SchemaVersion { get; set; }
public string Id { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public string TitleLocalized { get; set; }
public string Artist { get; set; }
public string ArtistLocalized { get; set; }
public string ArtistSource { get; set; }
public string Illustrator { get; set; }
public string IllustratorSource { get; set; }
public string Charter { get; set; }
public ItemMusic Music { get; set; }
public ItemMusicPreview MusicPreview { get; set; }
public ItemBackground Background { get; set; }
public List<ItemChart> Charts { get; set; }
}
public class ItemMusic
{
public string Path { get; set; }
}
public class ItemMusicPreview
{
public string Path { get; set; }
}
public class ItemBackground
{
public string Path { get; set; }
}
public class ItemChart
{
public string Type { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public int Difficulty { get; set; }
public string Path { get; set; }
}
Object initialization and serialization
var item = new Item
{
Version = 1,
SchemaVersion = 2,
Id = textBox14.Text,
Title = textBox7.Text,
TitleLocalized = textBox18.Text,
Artist = textBox6.Text,
ArtistLocalized = textBox8.Text,
ArtistSource = textBox9.Text,
Illustrator = textBox10.Text,
IllustratorSource = textBox11.Text,
Charter = textBox13.Text,
Music = new ItemMusic
{
Path = textBox4.Text
},
MusicPreview = new ItemMusicPreview
{
Path = textBox5.Text
},
Background = new ItemBackground
{
Path = open3.FileName
},
Charts = new List<ItemChart>
{
new ItemChart
{
Type = "easy",
Name = textBox15.Text,
Difficulty = numericUpDown1.Value,
Path = textBox1.Text
},
new ItemChart
{
Type = "hard",
Name = textBox16.Text,
Difficulty = numericUpDown2.Value,
Path = textBox2.Text
}
}
};
var settings = new JsonSerializerSettings()
{
ContractResolver = new DefaultContractResolver
{
NamingStrategy = new SnakeCaseNamingStrategy()
}
};
var json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(item, settings);
File.WriteAllText($#"C:\Users\Public\Desktop\level files\{textBox14.Text}\level.json", json, new UTF8Encoding(true));
You could also use an anonymous type instead of creating the full class definition, of course:
var item = new {
Version = 1,
SchemaVersion = 2,
Charts = new List<object>
{
new {
Type = "easy"
}
}
}
and then just serialize this.
i have a problem how to push a document into a another document to create a embeded document in c#.
my models look like :
public class ModelKnjiga
{
public ModelKnjiga() { }
[BsonId(IdGenerator = typeof(CombGuidGenerator))] // pojavljuje se greška kod BSON tipa podataka kod ID-a,preuzoteo s dokumentacije drivera 1.5
public Guid Id { get; set; }
[BsonElement("naziv")]
public string naziv { get; set; }
[BsonElement("autor")]
public string autor { get; set; }
[BsonElement("godina_izdanja")]
public string godina_izdanja { get; set; }
[BsonElement("izdavac")]
public string izdavac { get; set; }
[BsonElement("ocjena")]
public String ocjena { get; set; }
[BsonElement("čitam")]
public Boolean čitam { get; set; }
[BsonElement("završio")]
public Boolean završio { get; set; }
}
another model looks like :
public ModelKorisici () {
KnjigaLista = new List<ModelKnjiga>();
}
[BsonId] // pojavljuje se greška kod BSON tipa podataka kod ID-a,preuzoteo s dokumentacije drivera 1.5 CombGuidGenerator
public Guid Identifikator { get; set; }
[BsonElement("ime")]
public string ime { get; set; }
[BsonElement("prezime")]
public string prezime { get; set; }
[BsonElement("lozinka")]
public string lozinka { get; set; }
[BsonElement("email")]
public string email { get; set; }
[BsonElement("kor_ime")]
public string kor_ime { get; set; }
[BsonElement("uloga")]
public string uloga { get; set; }
public List<ModelKnjiga> KnjigaLista { get; set; }
}
and now i am tring to push a modelKnjiga into a modelKorisici
I am trying with this method...
public void dodajKnjiguKorisniku(ModelKnjiga knjiga, Guid id)
{
MongoCollection<ModelKorisici> korisniciKolekcija = GetTasksCollectionKlijenti();
try
{
var pronadiKorisnika = Query<ModelKorisici>.EQ(e => e.Identifikator, id);
var PushPodataka = Update<ModelKorisici>.Push(e => e.KnjigaLista, knjiga);
korisniciKolekcija.Update(pronadiKorisnika, PushPodataka);
}
catch (MongoCommandException ex)
{
string msg = ex.Message;
}
}
In robomongo, the object KnjigaLista is always Null...
Can somebody help?
I think Update is legacy.
(in your models you don't have to use strings only. Eg.: godina_izdanja could be DateTime(), and ocjena some numeric format...)
I made an (async) example with your models, hope it helps:
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
MainAsync(args).GetAwaiter().GetResult();
Console.WriteLine("");
Console.WriteLine("press enter");
Console.ReadKey();
}
static async Task MainAsync(string[] args)
{
ModelKnjiga knga = new ModelKnjiga()
{
autor = "Author",
godina_izdanja = "2015",
izdavac = "izdavac",
naziv = "naziv",
ocjena = "20",
završio = true,
čitam = true
};
ModelKnjiga knga2 = new ModelKnjiga()
{
autor = "Author2",
godina_izdanja = "2016",
izdavac = "izdavac2",
naziv = "naziv2",
ocjena = "202",
završio = false,
čitam = false
};
ModelKnjiga knga3 = new ModelKnjiga()
{
autor = "Author3",
godina_izdanja = "2017",
izdavac = "izdavac3",
naziv = "naziv3",
ocjena = "203",
završio = false,
čitam = true
};
ModelKorisici mcor = new ModelKorisici()
{
email = "no#where.com",
ime = "ime",
KnjigaLista = new List<ModelKnjiga>() { knga, knga2 },
kor_ime = "kor_ime",
uloga = "uloga",
lozinka = "lozinka",
prezime = "prezime"
};
var client = new MongoClient();
var db = client.GetDatabase("KnjigaDB");
var korisici = db.GetCollection<ModelKorisici>("Korisici");
//After first run comment this line out
await korisici.InsertOneAsync(mcor);
//After first run UNcomment these lines
//var filter = Builders<ModelKorisici>.Filter.Eq("email", "no#where.com");
//var update = Builders<ModelKorisici>.Update.Push("KnjigaLista", knga3);
//await korisici.UpdateOneAsync(filter, update);
}
}
if you don't like async, change the last line with this:
korisici.UpdateOne(filter, update);
I have a datagridview that is bound to an observable collection in a mvvm fashion.
I'm trying to figure out how to write the collection to a csv file.
I can format the headers and get that put in, but not sure how one would iterate over a collection pulling out the values and putting them to a file with comma delimiting.
Here is my class
public class ResultsModel
{
public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
public int Phone { get; set; }
public string Username { get; set; }
public bool Sucess { get; set; }
public string MessageType { get; set; }
public string SenderMessageSent { get; set; }
public string SenderMessageReceived { get; set; }
}
which gets loaded into an observable collection
Here's a generic helper method which utilizes reflection to get values of all properties in the collection of objects and serializes to comma separated values string. (1 line = 1 object from collection)
public static IEnumerable<string> ToCsv<T>(IEnumerable<T> list)
{
var fields = typeof(T).GetFields();
var properties = typeof(T).GetProperties();
foreach (var #object in list)
{
yield return string.Join(",",
fields.Select(x => (x.GetValue(#object) ?? string.Empty).ToString())
.Concat(properties.Select(p => (p.GetValue(#object, null) ?? string.Empty).ToString()))
.ToArray());
}
}
And the examplary usage:
var oemResultsModels = new List<OemResultsModel>
{
new OemResultsModel
{
FirstName = "Fname1",
LastName = "LName1",
MessageType = "Type1",
Phone = 1234567,
SenderMessageReceived = "something1",
SenderMessageSent = "somethingelse1",
Sucess = true,
Username = "username1"
},
new OemResultsModel
{
FirstName = "Fname2",
LastName = "LName2",
MessageType = "Type2",
Phone = 123456789,
SenderMessageReceived = "something2",
SenderMessageSent = "somethingelse2",
Sucess = false,
Username = "username2"
}
};
using (var textWriter = File.CreateText(#"C:\destinationfile.csv"))
{
foreach (var line in ToCsv(oemResultsModels))
{
textWriter.WriteLine(line);
}
}
I have below scenario:
This is my class structure :
public class User
{
public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
public System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection<Likes> Likes { get; set; }
}
public class Likes
{
public string Sport { get; set; }
public string Music { get; set; }
public string Food { get; set; }
public string Place { get; set; }
}
When I serialize object of User class then it will generate the below json string :
{"FirstName":"Naresh",
"LastName":"Parmar",
"Likes": [{"Sport":"Cricket",
"Music":"Classic",
"Food":"Gujarati",
"Place":"India"}]
}
I want to generate above json string like below:
{"FirstName":"Naresh",
"LastName":"Parmar",
"Sport":"Cricket",
"Music":"Classic",
"Food":"Gujarati",
"Place":"India"
}
I want the nested properties as primary one.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance..
EDIT:
{"FirstName":"Naresh",
"LastName":"Parmar",
"Sport":"Cricket,Chess,Football",
"Music":"Classic",
"Food":"Gujarati",
"Place":"India"
}
It's really bad practice, since the code i'll post bellow doesn't have great maintainability, however if that's what you looking for, you can use this. Another class that have the format that you'd like, and have a method that adds a list of likes to the format you've required. That the class you should serialize to JSON:
class NestedUser
{
public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
public string Sport { get; set; }
public string Music { get; set; }
public string Food { get; set; }
public string Place { get; set; }
public void AddLikes(System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection<Likes> likes)
{
foreach (Likes like in likes)
{
Sport += like.Sport + ",";
Music += like.Music + ",";
Food += like.Food + ",";
Place += like.Place + ",";
}
if (Sport != string.Empty)
{
Sport = Sport.Substring(0, Sport.Length - 1);
}
if (Music != string.Empty)
{
Music = Music.Substring(0, Music.Length - 1);
}
if (Food != string.Empty)
{
Food = Food.Substring(0, Food.Length - 1);
}
if (Place != string.Empty)
{
Place = Place.Substring(0, Place.Length - 1);
}
}
}
Since it's not only limited to Likes objects I'd suggest using dynamic objects. So the User class I propose is as follows:
public class User
{
public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
public dynamic Details { get; set; }
public User()
{
Details = new ExpandoObject();
}
public void AddSingleDetail(string key, string value)
{
var dict = this.Details as IDictionary<string, Object>;
if (dict.ContainsKey(key))
{
dict[key] += "," + value;
}
else
{

You can use it for adding single proerpties or adding an object as a whole. I used reflection to get all the property name and values and add them to the user details.
Sample usage:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var user1 = new User() { FirstName = "Homer", LastName = "Simpson" };
user1.AddSingleDetail("Sport", "Bowling");
user1.AddSingleDetail("Sport", "Sleeping");
user1.AddSingleDetail("Food", "Donut");
user1.AddSingleDetail("Music", "Rock");
string flattenedHomer1 = ConvertUserToFlattenedJson(user1);
var user2 = new User() { FirstName = "Homer", LastName = "Simpson" };
var likes1 = new Likes() { Food = "Donut", Music = "Rock", Place = "Springfield", Sport = "Bowling" };
var likes2 = new Likes() { Food = "Steaks", Music = "Metal", Place = "Evergreen Terrace", Sport = "Sleeping" };
var proStuff = new ProfessionalStuff() { Title = "Boss" };
user2.AddDetails(likes1);
user2.AddDetails(likes2);
user2.AddDetails(proStuff);
string flattenedHomer2 = ConvertUserToFlattenedJson(user2);
}
And the method performing the JSON conversion is:
public static string ConvertUserToFlattenedJson(User u)
{
dynamic flatUser = new ExpandoObject();
flatUser.FirstName = u.FirstName;
flatUser.LastName = u.LastName;
var dict = u.Details as IDictionary<string, Object>;
foreach (var like in dict)
{
((IDictionary<string, Object>)flatUser)[like.Key] = like.Value;
}
string json = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(flatUser);
return json;
}
In my sample above user2 is converted to the following JSON string which I believe is what you are looking for:
{
"FirstName": "Homer",
"LastName": "Simpson",
"Sport": "Bowling,Sleeping",
"Music": "Rock,Metal",
"Food": "Donut,Steaks",
"Place": "Springfield,Evergreen Terrace",
"Title": "Boss"
}
While concatenating strings you can check for null or duplicate values. I didn't handle that part.
For the sake of completeness, here's the ProfessionalStuff class I made up:
public class ProfessionalStuff
{
public string Title { get; set; }
}
Hope this helps.
