Capitalizing strings in C# containing html escape characters

I'm trying to title case some text that may contain html escape characters. Is there any way of doing this other than with regular expressions? Here's some example code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Globalization;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace ConsoleApp2
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");
string input = "B&G fried pie";
string output = CultureInfo.InvariantCulture.TextInfo.ToTitleCase(input.ToLowerInvariant());
Console.WriteLine(output); //Should be B&G Fried Pie
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}
Another way I can think of is to replace & with &, do my title case, then replace the & with &amp.

You can use the System.Web.HttpUtility class to decode and encode html strings, so your code would then look something like:
private static string ToTitleCase(string input)
{
return input == null
? null
: HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture.TextInfo
.ToTitleCase(HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(input.ToLowerInvariant())));
}
And in use it would look something like:
Console.WriteLine(ToTitleCase("B&G fried pie"));

C# pointer with offset and vaMemory.dll

So I want to try to read a value from memory using a pointer with 1 offset.
These are my value:
I tried to write some code but it does not work. It only ever reads value 0 but I see on cheat engine the value i is different.
Below is my code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading;
namespace Trigger
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
VAMemory vam = new VAMemory("test");
int LocalPlayer = vam.ReadInt32((IntPtr)0x01608310);
while (true) {
int address = LocalPlayer + 0x360;
Console.Write(vam.ReadInt32((IntPtr)address));
//Thread.sleep(500);
}
}
}
}
So can someone help me to understand?

How to get HTMLElement ID if it includes a "-"

I am trying to load Google and get the ID of the searchbox. The ID of the box is "lst-ib". Which when the program goes to debug it is expecting a semicolon.
Is there a way around it to get the element id? So far I have:
using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
class Program
{
public void Main(string[] args)
{
Process.Start("www.google.com");
HtmlElement lst-ib = WebBrowser1.Document.All["foo"];
//expects a semi colon on the line above after the element id
if (lst-ib != null)
{
lst-ib.InnerText = "test";
}
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}

That is C# code and - is not valid in identifiers. Feel free to name the variable as you wish – it has no bearing on what the ID of the element is.

The - is an operator, you cannot use this way!
Here you will find more information about operators:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/6a71f45d.aspx
I recomend you rename - (trace) to _ (underline) or anyway you want
=D

Copying files, skipping alert window 'are you sure message'

My C# console program copies 2 folders into 1. It works but I am new to C#. I cant figure out how I make the program skip the alert window "are you sure you want to overwrite the files".
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO;
using System.Diagnostics;
namespace MirrorSystem {
class Program {
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string source1 = #"folder1";
string source2 = #"folder2";
string destination = #"destination";
try
{
Console.WriteLine("Starting..");
FileSystem.CopyDirectory(source1, destination, UIOption.AllDialogs);
FileSystem.CopyDirectory(source2, destination, UIOption.AllDialogs);
Console.WriteLine("Success!");
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000);
Environment.Exit(0);
Console.ReadKey();
}
catch (OperationCanceledException)
{
Console.WriteLine("Canceled!");
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}
}

You can pass the value true as the third (overwrite) parameter. Here is the official documentation for the method:
public static void CopyDirectory(
string sourceDirectoryName,
string destinationDirectoryName,
bool overwrite
)
The description of the overwrite parameter:
overwrite
Type: System.Boolean
True to overwrite existing files;
otherwise False. Default is False.
Source.

You can use method File.Copy --> https://msdn.microsoft.com/es-es/library/9706cfs5(v=vs.110).aspx
The third parameter allows you to specify whether you should or should not overwrite existing files with the same name in the destination folder.

Is it possible to utilize Format-Table from C#?

I'd like to have a C# console program which uses Format-Table to display objects. Here's a simple C# program:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Management.Automation;
namespace PowerShellFormatTableTest
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var ps = PowerShell.Create()
.AddCommand("Get-Process")
.AddCommand("Format-Table");
foreach (var result in ps.Invoke())
{
// ...
}
}
}
}
The majority of the result elements are of course FormatEntryData objects.
Is there a way to print the Format-Table formatted output to the console?
The above example is just a trivial example. Normally, I'll be passing arbitrary objects

If you pipe the result from Format-Table to Out-String, then you should get the same output as a string-object. Try this:
var ps = PowerShell.Create()
.AddCommand("Get-Process")
.AddCommand("Format-Table")
.AddCommand("Out-String");

Here's the example updated to demonstrate Frode's suggestion:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Management.Automation;
namespace PowerShellFormatTableTest
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var ps = PowerShell.Create()
.AddCommand("Get-Process")
.AddCommand("Format-Table")
.AddCommand("Out-String");
Console.WriteLine(ps.Invoke()[0]);
}
}
}
