Getting started with Mono in Linux

Some instructions on how to get started with using Mono in Linux environments: from installation to running your first "Hello World!" example. Open up your terminal and issue the following commands: [code language="text"] sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 3FA7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EF [/code] Mono1 [code language="text"] echo "deb http://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian wheezy main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-xamarin.list [/code] Mono2 [code language="text"] sudo apt-get update [/code] Mono3 [code language="text"] sudo apt-get install Mono-Complete [/code] Mono4 Check that your Mono has installed by using the 'version' command: [code language="text"] mono --version [/code] Mono5 We can now test our installation of Mono by writing some code, in this case the proverbial "Hello World!" example. Open a text editor of your choice and enter the following C# code: [code language="csharp"] using System; namespace MonoExample { public class HelloWorld { public static void Main(string[] args) { Console.WriteLine("Hello World"); } } } [/code] After saving your code sample eg as 'main.cs', using the terminal once more, compile the code by navigating to its location and running the command [code language="text"] mcs main.cs [/code] Mono6 Finally, to run the 'main.exe' that gets generated use the 'mono' command: [code language="text"] mono main.exe [/code] Mono7

Using the Supervisor Controller Pattern to access View controls in MVVM

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; ...

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

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 ...
