Asp.net-MVC now allows for implicit binding of DateTime objects. I have an action along the lines of public ActionResult DoSomething(DateTime startDate) { ... } This successfully converts a string from an ajax call into a DateTime. However, we use the date format dd/MM/yyyy; MVC is converting to MM/dd/yyyy. For example, submitting a...
Is there a way to use DecimalFormat (or some other standard formatter) to format numbers like this: 1,000,000 => 1.00M 1,234,567 => 1.23M 1,234,567,890 => 1234.57M Basically dividing some number by 1 million, keeping 2 decimal places, and slapping an 'M' on the end. I've thought about creating a new subclass of N...

How can I format my output in C++? In other words, what is the C++ equivalent to the use of printf like this: printf("%05d", zipCode); I know I could just use printf in C++, but I would prefer the output operator <<. Would you just use the following? std::cout << "ZIP code: " << sprintf("%05d", zipCode) << std::endl; ...
He is good programmer (won some competitions) but he absolutely ignores formatting. He consider i, j, k beautiful... I hope he won't find out about existence of goto keyword. ...
I'm currently being visually assaulted by all of the names that are being displayed and entered on one of my systems. Basically, users have use of an on-screen keyboard and don't tend to write things in neatly! I.e. John Smith ends up getting entered as JOHN SMITH or john smith. I want a way to neatly enter names and display them. I've ...

I been working on parsing out bookmarks from an export file generated by google bookmarks. This file contains the following date attributes: ADD_DATE="1231721701079000" ADD_DATE="1227217588219000" These are not standard unix style timestamps. Can someone point me in the right direction here? I'll be parsing them using c# if you are fe...
Can I use String.Format() to pad a certain string with arbitrary characters? Console.WriteLine("->{0,18}<-", "hello"); Console.WriteLine("->{0,-18}<-", "hello"); returns -> hello<- ->hello <- I now want the spaces to be an arbitrary character. The reason I cannot do it with padLeft or padRight is because I w...
Hello, I am using the format ToString("0,0") to display a number like 5000 as 5,000 but if the number is 0 - 9, it displays 01, 02, 03, etc. Does anyone know the correct syntax so it does not display the leading 0? Thanks, XaiSoft ...
The following code produces the output "xyz" a = %w{x y z} print a.to_s Is there an option that can be added to the block to allow spaces to be added? For example, I thought that by changing the code to this I might be able to space-separate the elements to produce an output of "x y z" a = %w{"x " "y " "z "} print a.to_s Instead...
Consider the following line of code: things.Add(new Thing { ID = null, Name = "a thing" }); The whitespace formatting you see there is that which I get when I type the closing ;. Now, if I ask Visual Studio to reformat my code, or I type a closing } it gets reformatted: things.Add(new Thing{ID = null, Name = "a thing"}); I prefer ...
Setting the DBIC_TRACE environment variable to true: BEGIN { $ENV{DBIC_TRACE} = 1 } generates very helpful output, especially showing the SQL query that is being executed, but the SQL query is all on one line. Is there a way to push it through some kinda "sql tidy" routine to format it better, perhaps breaking it up over multiple lin...
Is there a way to String.Format a message without having to specify {1}, {2}, etc? Is it possible to have some form of auto-increment? (Similar to plain old printf) ...
I need to convert decimal values to their fractional equivalents, similar to this previous question. I'm using the code posted in one of the answers as a starting point since it mostly does what I need it to do. string ToMixedFraction(decimal x) { int whole = (int) x; int denominator = 64; int numerator = (int)( (x - whole) * denomina...
Why should I use a human readable file format in preference to a binary one? Is there ever a situation when this isn't the case? EDIT: I did have this as an explanation when initially posting the question, but it's not so relevant now: When answering this question I wanted to refer the asker to a standard SO answer on why using a human...
.NET supports two types of string formatting. I'm in a situation where existing configuration data has #,##0 style formatting. A new feature requires formatting to the same output, but the API needed for this feature only accepts formatting of type {0:n2}. Does anyone know of a means to convert between these two representations for nu...

I want to print the output of a program in MS-DOS so I wrote a .bat file that says: cls ruby foo.rb But the output - as it appears on my command prompt - looks like this: c:\workspace>ruby foo.rb foo output c:\workspace> I wanted to insert a newline into the output using MS-DOS because I don't want to pollute my Ruby code with anyt...
Hey all, I have built a number of solutions in the past in which people enter data via a webform, validation checks are applied, regex in some cases and everything gets stored in a database. This data is then used to drive output on other pages. I have a special case here where a user wants to copy/paste HUGE amounts of text (multiple...
