how to draw in asp.net(c#)? - asp.net

how to draw next image with labels in rectangles? thanks for help:

Use the different classes in the System.Drawing namespace.
Alternatively, use one of the many drawing libraries around.
Note:
The documentation on MSDN gives the following warning:
Classes within the System.Drawing namespace are not supported for use within a Windows or ASP.NET service. Attempting to use these classes from within one of these application types may produce unexpected problems, such as diminished service performance and run-time exceptions. For a supported alternative, see Windows Imaging Components.
However, I and others who have done so have not found problems. Even MSDN magazine suggests it...

There's a very good, detailed article at the 4guysfromrolla web site. I used this the first time I needed to do such a thing, and I still use the same pattern.

This one is fairly good as well, but nowhere near as well-explained as the first one. http://blogs.sitepoint.com/generating-asp-net-images-fly/

Control over OpenAPI 3.0 package generation for jersey-jaxrs

I'm using openapi-generator for jersey-jaxrs (OpenAPI 3.0). I'd like to control the package where my code is being generated.
I'm setting the api-package, model-package, package-name, and invoker-package options, all to a xxx.yyy.zzz value.
My problem is that most of the code is generated under gen.xxx.yyy.zzz, and it's not discoverable by the part of the code generated under xxx.yyy.zzz. Implicitly, gen is prepended to the package name. I understand this is convenient in many cases, but not mine. Is there any generator option to avoid this?
I've learned a bit about the Mustache templates and they seem like a possible solution, but maybe a bit too much for my requirements.
Ultimately, I can move the code in gen to the other (non-gen) package manually, and it works, but this is quite inconvenient.
Finally, I found out that you can mark folders in IntelliJ IDEA as "generated sources root", which makes it discoverable to the rest of the project's code.
This doesn't solve my question, but it does solve the problem that originated the question.

Avalonedit Show syntax error

when I develop a custom language IDE using avalonedit, I encountered a problem. I use regex to check the syntax, and it works as designed. However, I want to show the syntax error with wave text mark. I did search at google, yet the solution is either outdated or not feasible. Any ideas? Thanks ahead.
AvalonEdit does not have this functionality built-in. However it provides all the infrastructure needed to implement it yourself. In the SharpDevelop IDE we have an implementation that should suit your needs.
You'll need some of the code from the SharpDevelop repository (https://github.com/icsharpcode/SharpDevelop/):
TextMarkerService, TextMarker
and its related interfaces and enums.
To make it easier for you, I have created a small sample application:
https://github.com/siegfriedpammer/AvalonEditSamples/tree/master/TextMarkerSample
It uses the AvalonEdit 5 nuget package and contains the classes mentioned above, plus a WPF Window to test it.

How to find other built-in DWT fields?

Within a DWT Template Building Block, we can use a few "free" variables such as ##Component.Title## or ##Component.ID## as well as built-in DWT functions.
I didn't realize we can also get a component's schema description with ##Component.Description## or ##Description##.
The out-of-the-box Default Dreamweaver Component Design has a good set of examples, along with the Tridion Cook book's iteration example, and SDL Live Content.
How else could I find other allowed built-in DWT functions and variables, programmatic or otherwise?
In other words, I wouldn't have thought ##Description## was even available in DWT without seeing an example first (not that I have a use for it yet).
Edit (June 8, 2013): I did find additional information on SDL Live Content (requires login). We can of course use available Package variables as described in the documentation.
Researching a bit, I found that if we go to the tridion.contenmanager.config file, we will discover the node, which references to the Dreamweaver mediator type:
<mediator matchMIMEType="text/x-tcm-dreamweaver" type="Tridion.ContentManager.Templating.Dreamweaver.DreamweaverMediator" />
This namespace can be found inside Tridion.ContentManager.Templating.dll
Decompiling is the best way to find out what is inside and learn something. Since it is .Net code, that will not be a problem, there is many free good tools available. I'm using lately JustDecompile
I did not go too deep into the code, but I can see that there is a TridionObjectSource class, with a number of Constants for reserved words, like:
ReservedNameTitle
ReservedNameDescription
Searching where this constants are used on the code, can help to better understand what they do, and the way the Dreamweaver Mediator works inside.
Seems like an interesting learning exercise
I take it that you've searched the documentation for the answer and come up empty. I suggest that you go to the relevant part of the LiveContent documentation and add a comment. This will reach the documentation team directly, and I'm sure they'll be very interested to hear of a feature that isn't properly covered. With a bit of luck they'll update it, and you'll have done us all a favour.
I have some sympathy for the "help yourself" approach too, but if you find a feature by your own analysis of the software, and it gets removed in a later release, you won't have a leg to stand on to complain about this. So help Tridion to get the feature documented, and then it's there to use with confidence.

Updating a Sharepoint List from flex

I have been trying to find a way to connect Flex to sharepoint in an elegant way that allows me to update lists, build charts, and create widgets with FLEX on the client-side. I have researched this extensively but I am running into circles.
I understand the basics of Flex data connection/webservices/etc... , I just can't seem to get my head around how to use the sharepoint list services.
Does anybody out there have a nice detailed example of what I'm trying to achieve? Simple examples work too! :)
Thanks so much Everyone!
-E.
Look at the "SOAP query example" or the WSDL from the SharePoint web-service (e.g. .../_vti_bin/lists.asmx?op=GetListItems or ../_vti_bin/lists.asmx?op=GetListItems&WSDL) and then look at the corresponding MSDN documentation (such as GetListItems) on how to "use" the web-service.
It takes a little bit of familiarity to "know" to map viewFields with <viewFields>...</viewFields> (most work like this), but... the MSDN documentation (if prodded carefully) says "what" to put in the XML where the WSDL just gives the near-useless outline. There are a number of examples in the tubes (and related SO questions) of hand-rolled SOAP access for SP for various tasks.
Microsoft also has some Open Specifications -- the link is always hard for me to find. Lots of stuff under the SharePoint branch. YMMV and it's mostly white-paper, but a good resource.
Not sure what tools Flex has but because of the limited WSDL support, most of the mapping has to be hand-coded or come from a better definition source -- hopefully "an existing library" which can be used directly or modified-to-suit.
I would highly recommend using a tool for testing the service access -- e.g. soapUI, which actually has a horrid UI -- because even the littlest error will come back with a cryptic error messages. Also, make sure to use SOAP 1.2.
Happy (less than maximal pain) coding.
P.S. A more specific question about a specific web-service would likely yield better responses.

StyleCop vs ReSharper and general coding-style questions

Just found StyleCop, looks like something worth using for my projects. Then I found out you could use it with ReSharper (a tool I've also never used). So I downloaded ReSharper, as well as StyleCop for ReSharper. I'm just a bit confused about it, though:
With just StyleCop installed (no ReSharper), I get yelled at for referring directly to private variables in code-behind. It wants me to instead do this.variable. Alright, fine.
If I use just ReSharper, it tells me to remove all of the 'this' calls I just added. Which one is better?
If I use ReSharper + StyleCop for ReSharper, it now tells me to add 'this' to all private member references (just like StyleCop did all by itself). However, now it also wants me to add 'this' to all of the controls I'm referencing from the .aspx page (i.e., Label.Text = this.variable -> this.Label.Text = this.variable).
I'm so confused. What is the best standard to follow? Or am I just fine doing it the way I am now (Label.Text = variable)?
The key point is consistency. Your particular formatting with regard to this point comes down to personal preference.
Does the extra wordiness provide additional clarity as to which variable you're referencing or does it obscure the meaning by flooding the page with extra text?
This is a judgment call. They do enforce other rules that make sense; however, a large part of what they do is enforce consistency. As #Martin said, feel free to disable rules that don't make sense for your workflow.
Sorry when working on a team it all comes down to understanding the politics; after all, we work to get paid!
If the person that decided your next
pay raise uses StyleCop, then you
should always include the “this.”
likewise if the boss uses ReSharper
you should do what ReSharper says.
There are a lot more important wars to win this, e.g. 10,000 line classes, over sized method
If you are luckly enough to decide what tools (and coding standards) are used yourself, then I would just choose ReSharper and read the “clean code” book.
I think it's up to you which conventions you want to follow (it's a matter of personal preferences). At least in ReSharper, you can edit the rules to no longer show certain warnings/hints.
