My C# Quine

 

I saw a java quine in HackerNews today, felt like writing my first quine in C#, here is an attempt of it.

Quine(){var s="Quine(){var s='''';Console.WriteLine(s.Insert(16,s));}";Console.WriteLine(s.Insert(16,s));}

It’s about 106 chars long  of course with anonymous methods, delegates, lambda expressions, new var types C# writes a whole lot of code behind the scenes, Thanks to C# I totally love coding in C#

Automapper sample

 

Automapper is really awesome tool to map similar objects, especially useful when you want to copy the EF entities to WCF Serializable entities to avoid exposing the loaded EF entities. Here is a sample I worked out to try it out.

You can download Automapper from codeplex, it’s a simple single dll, which you can add to your project, set up few Mappers and you are done, you can copy entities to and from.

http://automapper.codeplex.com/

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using AutoMapper;

namespace AutoMapperSample
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            SetMapping();

            var class1Obj = new Class1()
                                {
                                    Male = true,
                                    Name = "Name",
                                    Number = 3,
                                    Cls3 = new Class3() {CurrentDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(10)}
                                };

            var class2Obj = Mapper.Map<Class1, Class2>(class1Obj);

        }

        private static void SetMapping()
        {
            Mapper.CreateMap<Class1, Class2>()
                .ForMember(cl2 => cl2.FullName, cl1 => cl1.MapFrom(n => n.Name + " " + n.Name))
                .ForMember(cl2 => cl2.Male, m => m.ResolveUsing<MaleResolver>().FromMember(cl1 => cl1.Male))
                .ForMember(cl2 => cl2.Cls3CurrentDate, m => m.AddFormatter<DateFormatter>());
        }
    }

    public class Class1
    {
        public Class3 Cls3 { get; set; }

        public int Number { get; set; }
        public String Name { get; set; }
        public Boolean Male { get; set; }
    }

    public class Class2
    {
        public String Cls3CurrentDate { get; set; }
       
        public int Number { get; set; }
        public String Name { get; set; }
        public String Male { get; set; }
        public String FullName { get; set; }
    }

    public class Class3
    {
        public DateTime CurrentDate { get; set; }
    }

    public class MaleResolver : ValueResolver<bool, string>
    {
        protected override string ResolveCore(bool source)
        {
            return source ? "Y" : "N";
        }
    }

    public class DateFormatter : IValueFormatter
    {
        public string FormatValue(ResolutionContext context)
        {
            return ((DateTime)context.SourceValue).ToLongDateString();
        }
    }

}
