NUnit Test a method including Request.Cookies
If you want to run Nunit testing on some ASP.NET code, then you might have some problems if the code being tested
makes reference to Request.Cookies. Here is how I got round it:
/// <summary>
/// Verify that critical parts of the default page are working
/// </summary>
[TestFixture]
public class DefaultMasterTesting
{
/// <summary>
/// Checks the Some Request.Cookies dependentent method
/// </summary>
[Test]
public void CheckSomeCookieDependentMethod()
{
var master = new Default();
master.Page = new Page();
var hrReq = new HttpRequest(“”, “http://localhost”, “”);
hrReq.Cookies.Add(new HttpCookie(“Cookie”, “Cookie Value”));
var hrResp = new HttpResponse(new StringWriter());
HttpContext.Current = new HttpContext(hrReq,hrResp);
var fiRequest = typeof (Page).GetField(“_request”, BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);
fiRequest.SetValue(master.Page,HttpContext.Current.Request);
master.SomeCookieDependentMethod();
}
}
Interesting to see that Page.Request and HttpContext.Current.Request are different !
Recursively listing directories in PHP
Just a simple PHP script to list directories two level deep:
$dir = dirname(__FILE__).’/’;
// Open a known directory, and proceed to read its contents
if (is_dir($dir))
{
if ($dh = opendir($dir))
{
while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false)
{
if (filetype($dir . $file) == “dir” && $file !== “.” && $file !== “..” && $file !== “images”)
{
echo “<li>$file</li>”;
$dh2 = opendir($dir . $file);
echo “<ul>”;
while (($file2 = readdir($dh2)) !== false)
{
if ($file2 !== “.” && $file2 !== “..”)
{
echo “<li><a href=’$file/$file2′>$file2</a></li>”;
}
}
closedir($dh2);
echo “</ul>”;}
}
closedir($dh);
}
}

Iterating HTMLSelectElement options in C# And VB.NET
If you want to list all the values of options in a HTML drop down list, from a webbrowser control in VB.NET or C#, here’s how to do it:
Dim hoeDest As HTMLOptionElement
For iDest = 0 To hseDestinations.options.length – 1
hoeDest = hseDestinations.options.item(iDest)
tbOutput.Text += hoeDest.value
Next iDest
Or in C#
for (var iDest = 0; iDest <= destinationSelect.Children.Count – 1; iDest++)
{
var hoeDest = (HTMLOptionElement)destinationSelect.Children[iDest].DomElement;
tbOutput.Text += hoeDep.value;
}

-4K-‘select @BigData
If @BigData is declared as NVARCHAR(4000), then the select statement will truncate at 4K bytes. You can’t declare as NVARCHAR(8000) as it will give the error:
Msg 2717, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
The size (8000) given to the parameter ‘@BigData’ exceeds the maximum allowed (4000).
@BigData cannot be declared as NTEXT, since it gives the error:
Msg 2739, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The text, ntext, and image data types are invalid for local variables.
but, as NVARCHAR(MAX) then the data is not truncated!
How to loop for a specified time in C#
Say that you wanted to do something for one minute, as often as possible; then this bit of code is quite a nice way of doing it;
It would be called like:
foreach(var i in TimeLoop(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30))
{ // Do something }
/// <summary>
/// A Loop that continues for a given time
/// </summary>
/// <param name=”duration”></param>
/// <returns></returns>
private static IEnumerable TimeLoop(TimeSpan duration)
{
var dtStart = DateTime.Now;
for (; ; )
{
yield return null;
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(100);
var tsElapsed = DateTime.Now – dtStart;
if (tsElapsed > duration)
{
yield break;
}
}
}
Saving Geocities
I downloaded the Geocities torrent, but it only gets to 23.7% complete, so, stopping it there, I unzipped whatever zips I could, finding only “geocities.archiveteam.torrent\ARCHIVES\geocities-unmangled\www.geocities.com” to be the only directory with a few sites that could be salvaged.
After that, I processed all the html files, removing absolute links, then uploaded them to my server. It’s only 104 websites, or 340 Mb out of the 1 Tb download, so it’s less than a 3,000th of the size of geocities, but whenever a 100% seed for that torrent comes online, then I can finish the download.

Unable to telnet to port 25 remotely (Windows SMTP)
Setting up the SMTP & POP3 service on Windows 2003, I noticed that I could telnet localhost 25 on remote desktop, but not telnet port 25 remotely.
This turned out to be a setting in the Windows SMTP service. Just Open IIS, Right click properties on Default SMTP virtual server, then Access, connection and
select “All except list below”. Then I can telnet in, and the email started working 🙂
