SHA512 in C # and Java are different

There is such code on C # and java, sha512 in them differs, whether it is possible to make somehow that the result sha512 was identical? I understand the problem in BaseConverter,...

You're hashing different data - in Java you're converting the string to UTF-16: digest.update(str.getBytes("UTF-16LE")); In C# you're using UTF-8: byte[] data = new UTF8Encoding().GetBytes(str); (I'm not sure why you're creating a... more 9/8/2017 8:12:26 AM

You can't specify null as a value of type T because it might not be a valid value for T. (Think int etc.) However, you can use default(T), which will be the default value for T - the same value you'd get if you left a field of type T... more 9/8/2017 7:10:15 AM

How I'd approach this would depend on exactly what you need to do. In Noda Time 2.0 (and backported to 1.4) there's an IWeekYearRule interface you could implement, if you want to do this thoroughly. If you just need to compute the year... more 9/7/2017 8:53:54 AM

Parsing Decimal to DateTime in multiple date formats with a leading zero stripped out?

So I think there is a simple answer to this problem. Essentially I am getting a decimal storage of a DateTime from a database that is in essence '9062017'. I was wanting to...

I think you should avoid the string conversion entirely. It's pointless and error prone. It's much simpler just to do the maths: public static DateTime Int32ToDateTime(int value) { int year = value % 10000; int day = (value /... more 9/6/2017 5:42:02 PM

Is it possible to give a custom build error with T4?

So something like <# GiveError("Something is not right"); #> which would then show as compilation error in the error list among the other compilation errors. This could...

I don't know anything about T4 generation specifically, so I can't help in terms of halting the generation process with a useful message, but you may find it's better just to generate a #error pragma, e.g #error No configuration found for... more 9/6/2017 8:10:11 AM

How to define this 'var' type formally?

This code: var items = query.ToList(); returns List<'a> where 'a is new { string a1, string a2 } If I were to remove the var keyword, what would be a valid type...

Nothing, because it's a list of an anonymous type. The very term "anonymous type" was chosen because the type doesn't have a name. If you want to be able to use explicit typing, don't use an anonymous type. Either create your own type, or... more 9/5/2017 1:41:44 PM

Difference in C# between different getter styles

I do sometimes see abbreviations in properties for the getter. E.g. those two types: public int Number { get; } = 0 public int Number => 0; Can someone please tell me if...

Yes, both of them are read-only, but there is a difference. In the first one, there's a backing field which is initialized to 0 before the constructor is executed. You can change the value only in the constructor, just like a regular... more 9/5/2017 5:46:18 AM

SelectMany is indeed what you want: var list = numbers.SelectMany(n => new IMyObj[] { new MyObj1(n), new MyObj2(n) }) .ToList(); In other words, for each number, create a two-element array, which is then flattened... more 8/30/2017 12:51:00 PM
