Pretty Print Array of Arrays in .NET C#

Image
I had a need to pretty-print  an array of arrays while parsing some JSON recently. I couldn't find anything I liked, so I thought I'd post what I ended up with here to save others some time. https://gist.github.com/aaronhoffman/4232d28b769b3e95b143cf609a9e27cc Example Output: [[1,2,3],[3,5,7],[2,4,6]] [[1,2,3]] [[1,2,3],[3,5,7,9,11],[2,4,6]] public string PrettyPrintArrayOfArrays(int[][] arrayOfArrays) { if (arrayOfArrays == null) return ""; var prettyArrays = new string[arrayOfArrays.Length]; for (int i = 0; i < arrayOfArrays.Length; i++) { prettyArrays[i] = "[" + String.Join(",", arrayOfArrays[i]) + "]"; } return "[" + String.Join(",", prettyArrays) + "]"; } Hope this helps, Aaron

Flatten HTML Document to List of Tags, Attributes, and Values

I had a need to flatten a set of HTML documents to a list of the HTML tags in their head sections.  I thought this bit of code might be useful for someone in the future. This uses the CsQuery library which is a port of jQuery in C#:  https://github.com/jamietre/CsQuery CsQuery also has a NuGet Package:  https://www.nuget.org/packages/CsQuery //Note: Get HTML from somewhere... var html = ""; var cq = CsQuery.CQ.Create(html); var head = cq["head"]; var nonScriptHeadTagsQuery = from t in head.Children() where t.NodeName != "SCRIPT" && t.NodeName != "LINK" select new { Tag = t, TagId = Guid.NewGuid() }; var nonScriptHeadTags = nonScriptHeadTagsQuery.ToList(); var htmlTags = nonScriptHeadTags .SelectMany(tagInfo => tagInfo.Tag.Attributes, (tagInfo, attribute) => new { TagInfo = tagInfo, Attribute = attribute }) .Select(x => new { TagId = x.TagInfo.TagId, TagType = x.TagInfo.Tag.NodeName, A

ASP.NET MVC 4 Bulk Add New Users

---------------------- ASP.NET MVC 4 Membership Overview:  http://aaron-hoffman.blogspot.com/2013/02/aspnet-mvc-4-membership-users-passwords.html ---------------------- I recently developed a website to replace the built in ASP.NET Configuration Website Administration Tool provided by Microsoft and Visual Studio. Source available here:  https://github.com/StoneFinch/SmpMaintenance Direct link to download source code: https://github.com/StoneFinch/SmpMaintenance/archive/master.zip This tool has the ability to add new users to a ASP.NET MVC 4 website in bulk.  For example, if you have a list of usernames and passwords that you want to set up new accounts for, you can use the "Bulk Add New Users" functionality. Users can also be added to Roles via this page.  Multiple Roles are separated by spaces. Hope this helps, Aaron
