[`ReadAllLines`][1] returns an array of strings. Each string contains a single line of the file.

[`ReadAllText`][2] returns a single string containing all the lines of the file.

File.ReadAllText() returns one big string containing all the content of the file while File.ReadAllLines() returns string array of lines in the file.

Keep in mind that in case of ReadAllText &quot;The resulting string does not contain the terminating carriage return and/or line feed.&quot;

More details are available at remarks section of [File.ReadAllText Method][1] and [File.ReadAllLines Method.][2]

`ReadAllText` reads it all in as one string, `ReadAllLines` reads it in as a `StringArray`.

I&#39;m currently searching for an application or a script that does a **correct** word count for a LaTeX document.

Up till now, I have only encountered scripts that only work on a single file but what I want is a script that can safely ignore LaTeX keywords and also **traverse linked files**...ie follow `\include` and `\input` links to produce a correct word-count for the *whole* document.

With vim, I currently use `ggVGg CTRL+G` but obviously that shows the count for the current file and does not ignore LaTeX keywords.

Does anyone know of any script (or application) that can do this job?

What are .NET Assemblies? I browsed over the net and I am not able to understand the definition.

What are .NET Assemblies?

just exploring c# 4. Trying to get my head around all this dynamic stuff. Sorry if this question is silly, no experience in this domain.

If I have an ExpandoObject and want to add public properties (with get and set) to it at runtime, how would I go about doing it?

For example, I have a documentTemplate and a document, which has a property pointing towards the documentTemplate. This documentTemplate has got some tag Titles (eg. Capabilities developed among students), which should be addressed while making the document (eg. Concentration, memory etc.). So as soon as the template is set in the document, I want to create a class, which has properties with same names as the tag titles in the Template, and then using some UI element, such as the PropertyGrid, I can have the user fill in tag values against the tag Titles.

Thanks for reading!

Adding unknown (at design time) properties to an ExpandoObject

I would like to differentiate between following cases:

 1. A plain value type (e.g. `int`)
 2. A nullable value type (e.g. `int?`)
 3. A reference type (e.g. `string`) - optionally, I would not care if this mapped to (1) or (2) above

I have come up with the following code, which works fine for cases (1) and (2):

    static void Foo&lt;T&gt;(T a) where T : struct { } // 1

    static void Foo&lt;T&gt;(T? a) where T : struct { } // 2

However, if I try to detect case (3) like this, it does not compile:

    static void Foo&lt;T&gt;(T a) where T : class { } // 3

The error message is _Type &#39;X&#39; already defines a member called &#39;Foo&#39; with the same parameter types_. Well, somehow I cannot make a difference between `where T : struct` and `where T : class`.

If I remove the third function (3), the following code does not compile either:

    int x = 1;
    int? y = 2;
    string z = &quot;a&quot;;

    Foo (x); // OK, calls (1)
    Foo (y); // OK, calls (2)
    Foo (z); // error: the type &#39;string&#39; must be a non-nullable value type ...

How can I get `Foo(z)` to compile, mapping it to one of the above functions (or a third one with another constraint, which I have not thought of)?

Generic constraints, where T : struct and where T : class

I&#39;ve gotten accustomed to many of the Java IDEs ([Eclipse][1], [NetBeans][2], and [IntelliJ IDEA][3]) providing you with a command to generate a default constructor for a class based on the fields in the class.

For example:

    public class Example
    {
        public decimal MyNumber { get; set; }
        public string Description { get; set; }
        public int SomeInteger { get; set; }

        // ↓↓↓ This is what I want generated ↓↓↓
        public Example(decimal myNumber, string description, int someInteger)
        {
            MyNumber = myNumber;
            Description = description;
            SomeInteger = someInteger;
        }
    }

Having a constructor populate all of the fields of an object is such a common task in most OOP languages, I&#39;m assuming that there is a some way for me to save time writing this boilerplate code in C#. I&#39;m new to the C# world, so I&#39;m wondering if I&#39;m missing something fundamental about the language? Is there some option in Visual Studio that is obvious?

What&#39;s the easiest way to convert from an `android.net.Uri` object which holds a `file:` type to a `File` object in Android?

I tried the following but it doesn&#39;t work:

```lang-java
File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), &quot;read.me&quot;);
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(file);
File auxFile = new File(uri.toString());
assertEquals(file.getAbsolutePath(), auxFile.getAbsolutePath());
```

I am writing a small I/O library to assist with a larger (hobby) project. A part of this library performs various functions on a file, which is read / written via the `FileStream` object. On each `StreamReader.Read(...)` pass, 

I fire off an event which will be used in the main app to display progress information. The processing that goes on in the loop is vaired, but is not too time consuming (it could just be a simple file copy, for example, or may involve encryption...).

My main question is: What is the best memory buffer size to use? Thinking about physical disk layouts, I could pick 2k, which would cover a CD sector size and is a nice multiple of a 512 bytes hard disk sector. Higher up the abstraction tree, you could go for a larger buffer which could read an entire FAT cluster at a time. I realise with today&#39;s PC&#39;s, I could go for a more memory hungry option (a couple of MiB, for example), but then I increase the time between UI updates and the user perceives a less responsive application.

As an aside, I&#39;m eventually hoping to provide a similar interface to files hosted on FTP / HTTP servers (over a local network / fastish DSL). What would be the best memory buffer size for those (again, a &quot;best-case&quot; tradeoff between perceived responsiveness vs. performance)?

    &lt;UL&gt;

I wish to automatically uncompress GZiped response.
I am using the following snippet:

    mywebclient.Headers[HttpRequestHeader.AcceptEncoding] = &quot;gzip&quot;;
    mywebclient.Encoding = Encoding.UTF8;
    
    try
    {
     	var resp = mywebclient.DownloadData(someUrl);
    }

I have checked `HttpRequestHeader enum`, and there is no option to do this via the `Headers`

How can I automatically decompress the resp? or Is there another function I should use instead of `mywebclient.DownloadData` ?

There are two similar namespaces and assemblies for speech recognition in .NET. I’m trying to understand the differences and when it is appropriate to use one or the other.

There is System.Speech.Recognition from the assembly System.Speech (in System.Speech.dll). System.Speech.dll is a core DLL in the .NET Framework class library 3.0 and later

There is also Microsoft.Speech.Recognition from the assembly Microsoft.Speech (in microsoft.speech.dll). Microsoft.Speech.dll is part of the UCMA 2.0 SDK

I find the docs confusing and I have the following questions:

System.Speech.Recognition says it is for &quot;The Windows Desktop Speech Technology&quot;, does this mean it cannot be used on a server OS or cannot be used for high scale applications?

The UCMA 2.0 Speech SDK ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd266409%28v=office.13%29.aspx ) says that it requires Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 as a prerequisite. However, I’ve been told at conferences and meetings that if I do not require OCS features like presence and workflow I can use the UCMA 2.0 Speech API without OCS. Is this true?

If I’m building a simple recognition app for a server application (say I wanted to automatically transcribe voice mails) and I don’t need features of OCS, what are the differences between the two APIs?

I have query regarding File.ReadLines() and File.ReadAllLines().what is difference between 
them. i have text file where it contains data in row-wise.`File.ReadAllLines()` return array and using `File.ReadLines().ToArray();` will also i can get same result.So is there any performance difference related to these methods?

 

    string[] lines = File.ReadLines(&quot;C:\\mytxt.txt&quot;).ToArray();

Or

    string[] lines = File.ReadAllLines(&quot;C:\\mytxt.txt&quot;);
