This is just a test

-

I've just spotted a "Publish to Blog" option in Word 2007. So I thought I'd give it a spin and see what happens. If it works then Blogging is going to be a much more pleasurable experience.

  1. My spelling is atrocious.
  2. I find complex formatting on BlogSpot is terrible.
  3. I will no longer have to edit HTML just to get my code to look right.

Talking of code, I had better try that out too...

    public class PreSaveConstraint

    {

        public readonly IObject Instance;

        public readonly string Name;

        public readonly Func<bool> CheckIsValid;


 

        public PreSaveConstraint(IObject instance, string name, Func<bool> checkIsValid)

        {

            if (instance == null)

                throw new ArgumentNullException("Instance");

            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(name))

                throw new ArgumentNullException("Name");

            if (checkIsValid == null)

                throw new ArgumentNullException("CheckIsValid");


 

            Instance = instance;

            Name = name;

            CheckIsValid = checkIsValid;

        }

    }


 

Well, here goes. If you can see this then it worked!

Well, it works, but I wish the code formatting was nicer.

Why don't you want to use Windows Live Writer?

I tried it but it wouldn't update my blog, so now I use Word instead.

Connascence

-
I’ve just finished reading What every programmer should know about object oriented design . The first couple of sections are a bit useless really, but the 3rd section is very good. I particularly liked the section on the difference types of connascence in software. There’s some basic information about it here if you fancy a brief overview of what it is about. It’s a really good book, I recommend you read it! Should only take a day if you only read the 3rd section.

Convert absolute path to relative path

-
Today I needed to convert an absolute path to a relative path based on a specified base path. E.g. c:\a\b\c -> c:\a\b\c\d\file.txt = d\file.txt c:\a\b\c -> c:\a\file.txt = ..\..\file.txt c:\a\b\c -> c:\a\x\file.txt = ..\..\x\file.txt I am surprised there is nothing in the .NET framework so I had a hunt around and converted the code from the following URL ( http://www.vergentsoftware.com/blogs/ckinsman/default.aspx?date=2006-08-07 ) into C#.... private string RelativePath(string absolutePath, string relativeTo) { string[] absoluteDirectories = absolutePath.Split('\\'); string[] relativeDirectories = relativeTo.Split('\\'); //Get the shortest of the two paths int length = absoluteDirectories.Length //Use to determine where in the loop we exited int lastCommonRoot = -1; int index; //Find common root for (index = 0; index if (...

Printing bitmaps using CPCL

-
I've had no end of grief trying to print a PCX to a Zebra Printer using the CPCL printer language. Silly me, didn't notice the EG command (expanded graphics) so there was no need to convert my BMP to a PCX and then struggle with binary data. I still had a bit of grief working out how to print using the EG command because the documentation is quite frankly crap. The expected command format is EG {WidthInBytes} {HeightInPixels} {XPos} {YPos} {Data}\r\n The printer expects a 1 bit pixel matrix. So if pixel(0, 0) is set you will set "80" in the data. If pixel(0, 0) is set and pixel (7, 0) is also set you would sent "81". Basically what you need to do is to read each set of 8 horizontal pixels and then use bit operations to create a byte value 0..255, and then output this as hex 00..FF. Here's the routine :-) public void DrawBitmap(Bitmap bmp, int xPosition, int yPosition) { if (bmp == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("bmp"); ...
