Q: Winter Bash 2014 Secret Hats

So far, I've unlocked one of the secret hats. I'm wondering what other secret hats are out there and how to earn them.

Q: Enum, constants, or other to represent chess pieces?? C#

I'm learning C# and I decided to write a chess program to help me practice the concepts I'm learning in my book. I started the Board class tonight, which is going to handle 1) the board state and 2) checking if moves are legal. I feel like I need to give careful consideration to how I represent ...

yes

Pimgd

yeah it works

this hat is silly, I need another one that fits better in my green swirly thing

@Pimgd - you can move the hat, you know that, right?

You can move it completely off your avatar if you want to.

@rolfl why did I do that?

rolfl

It's a poor answer that's got innaccuracies.

And, the down-vote will earn me a hat, I think, and the delete (now that it is score-0 I can delete it without relying on my mod-powers), will earn me another ;-)

Simon André Forsberg

@Pimgd Oh, you were talking about something else.

Pimgd

AS3 has the sense to check if String.split is receiving a String or a RegExp as delimiter

Java decides based on the content

Simon André Forsberg

I think Java always uses a regex probably

it's just that a regular word or so is also a valid regex

hi everyone!

I'm just starting to write some c# + WPF code that I think would make for a good review question here but before I start I'm thinking I might be encountering a X-Y problem. Is the best way to deal with application settings via a data binding?

doesn't C# have some built-in functionality for dealing with application settings specifically?

@shuttle87 Yes! But I strongly recommend using a logging framework - give NLog a try!

monking!

shuttle87

Were this a production app and not a small in house utility I think that's the route I'd go.

I'll keep that in mind though as I'm soon to be working on something bigger.

Mat's Mug

IMO NLog is the way to go whatever the app is, as soon as it needs logging. It's very lightweight and all configured with simple XML in either nlog.config, or app.config. It even takes care of archiving your log files for you!

and if you're into DI, there's an extension for Ninject that supports NLog, so all you need to do is constructor-inject an ILogger anywhere, and you're good to go.. it's just automagic.

(there's also one for Log4Net but I've never used that one)
