Disable Support for Reading (Invalid JSON) Single Quote Strings
You could write your own JsonReader subclass to perform this, but the JsonTextReader class (which is the most commonly used one, as far as I'm aware) doesn't support this. From the ParseValue method, for example: case '"': case '\'': ... more 1/13/2018 2:23:59 AM
Is java.io.FileWriter designed only for a single use?
The problem starts on the second .write call, when the FileWriter starts appending to the file, instead of overwriting it. Yes, you've got an open writer. Writing to that writer will just write additional text to the file - just like... more 1/11/2018 3:19:08 PM
How to convert Mac to string?
The Mac class itself isn't the data - it holds the data and updates it on calls to update and doFinal. Currently you're only calling init with the key - you then need to call update (optionally) and then doFinal. When you call doFinal,... more 1/6/2018 10:36:10 AM
When would == be overridden in a different way to .equals?
== is bound statically, at compile-time, because operators are always static. You overload operators - you can't override them. Equals(object) is executed polymorphically, because it's overridden. In terms of when you'd want them to be... more 1/5/2018 8:40:42 PM
Calculate the number of hours between two dates using NodaTime
If you've just got dates, the simplest option is to multiply the number of days by 24. Alternatively, create LocalDateTime values instead: Hours = Period.Between(birthday.AtMidnight(), today.AtMidnight(), PeriodUnits.Hours).Hours; Or... more 1/5/2018 8:20:30 PM
Access object value from parameter attribute in C#
No, attribute instances don't have any notion of the target they're applied to. Note that normally you fetch attributes from a target, so whatever's doing that fetching could potentially supply the information to whatever comes next.... more 1/5/2018 4:44:02 PM
Different text detection result from Google Vision API
As noted in Emil's answer, you want the DOCUMENT_TEXT_DETECTION feature rather than TEXT_DETECTION. However, you can do it all rather more simply than with the current code. Rather than using Google.Apis.Vision.V1 (which it looks like... more 1/5/2018 4:19:53 PM
Find closest end of month for a given date in C#
Given that there can only be two options, it seems odd to loop here. Assuming you only have dates, rather than needing to worry about the time of day as well, it seems to me that the decision only rests on how many days are in the... more 1/5/2018 12:13:17 PM
Paged search returning incorrect amount of results
You've used Control.NONCRITICAL. From the documentation: criticality - If true then the server must honor the control and return search results as indicated by pageSize or refuse to perform the search. If false, then the server need... more 1/5/2018 10:27:23 AM
Why can't I use 'as' with generic type parameter that is constrained to be an interface?
since I have constrained T to be interface IObject, compiler should know that T must be an interface type and the 'as' operation should be valid. No, T doesn't have to be an interface type. It has to be a type that implements the... more 1/5/2018 7:34:11 AM
