Changing the font size of the 'Syntaxhighlighter' plugin

Alex Gorbatchev's Syntaxhighlighter is a GREAT plugin for posting code samples on your website. I know because I use it on here. My only minor gripe was in the default size of the actual font itself - it was too large for my own preference. Modifying the size is simple, and I'm going to post it here for future reference. Login to your website's CPanel, open the File Manager and navigate to your Syntaxhighlighter plugin folder: public_html > wp-content > plugins > syntaxhighlighter > syntaxhighlighter3 > styles > shCore.js cpanel In the styles subdirectory, right-click on the shCore.css file and select Code Edit: cpanel1 This is what my version of .syntaxhighlighter defaulted to: [code language="css"] .syntaxhighlighter { width: 100% !important; margin: 1em 0 1em 0 !important; position: relative !important; overflow: auto !important; overflow-y: hidden !important; font-size: 1em !important; } [/code] Modify the font-size section of .syntaxhighlighter in the code to your own preference as follows: [code language="css"] .syntaxhighlighter { width: 100% !important; margin: 1em 0 1em 0 !important; position: relative !important; overflow: auto !important; overflow-y: hidden !important; font-size: 12px !important; } [/code] For this blog I simply changed font-size from lem to 12px, resulting in code samples that are less in-your-face. Job done.

Using the Supervisor Controller Pattern to access View controls in MVVM

Image
As discussed on a StackOverflow post , this is considered bad practice, so only use this when necessary. Step 1: Create a new WPF project Step 2: Add event handling code A number of classes are needed for doing command bindings in MVVM. Create the following classes and add to your Visual Studio project: RelayCommand.cs [code language="csharp"] using System; using System.Windows.Input; namespace SupervisorControllingPattern { public class RelayCommand<T> : ICommand { private readonly Predicate<T> _canExecute; private readonly Action<T> _execute; public RelayCommand(Action<T> execute) : this(execute, null) { _execute = execute; } public RelayCommand(Action<T> execute, Predicate<T> canExecute) { if (execute == null) throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(execute)); _execute = execute; _canExecute = canExecute; ...

Getting started with client-server applications in C++

Image
A demonstration of simple Internet client-server applications in C++ (Linux-based). The client application tries to connect to the remote server application using the IP address of the remote server ('localhost' or 127.0.0.1) and the server port number which defaulted to 1234. The server application listens to port number 1234 for a connection request. When the server application receives the connection request it sends the text message "Hello!\r\n" to the client.

How to send an e-mail via Google SMTP using C#

Image
First things first, some useful StackOverflow links: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9201239/send-e-mail-via-smtp-using-c-sharp https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17462628/the-server-response-was-5-7-0-must-issue-a-starttls-command-first-i16sm1806350 To demonstrate how this is done I first create a new Visual Studio project: Some example code for sending an email via a Google email account (smtp.goolgle.com) - obviously replace this with email / credentials of your own... I put the code within a try-catch block in order to capture any errors that may occur while attempting this. [code language="csharp"] using System; using System.Net; using System.Net.Mail; namespace EmailSmtp { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { try { // Credentials var credentials = new NetworkCredential("someEmail@gmail.com", "somePassword"); // Mail message var ...
