Building Expression Evaluator with Expression Trees in C# – Improving the Api

By on April 18, 2012 in .Net Framework

This post is part of a series about building a simple mathematical expression evaluator. For previous posts and full source code see Table of Contents.

Introduction

In previous part we added support for variables but it has a big disadvantage: values of the variables are bound by position and not by name. This means that you should pass values for the variables in the same order as they appear in the expression. For example the following test will fail: Continue Reading →

Using Reactive Extensions for Streaming Data from Database

By on April 3, 2012 in Reactive Extensions

You have probably heard about Reactive Extensions, a library from Microsoft that greatly simplifies working with asynchronous data streams and allows to query them with Linq operators. There are many different scenarios where using rx results in a much more simple and flexible code. This post demonstrates how to use reactive extensions for loading data from database asynchronously in chunks. Continue Reading →

Building Expression Evaluator with Expression Trees in C# – Table of Contents

By on February 21, 2012 in .Net Framework

This is table of contents for Building Expression Evaluator with Expression Trees in C# series. We are going to build a simple mathematical expression evaluator in C# using expression trees. The library supports simple expressions such as 2.5+5.9, 17.89-2.47+7.16, 5/2/2+1.5*3+4.58, expressions with parentheses (((9-6/2)*2-4)/2-6-1)/(2+24/(2+4)) and expressions with variables:

var a = 6;
var b = 4.32m;
var c = 24.15m;
Assert.That(engine.Evaluate("(((9-a/2)*2-b)/2-a-1)/(2+c/(2+4))", a, b, c),
            Is.EqualTo((((9 - a / 2) * 2 - b) / 2 - a - 1) / (2 + c / (2 + 4))));

At the end of the series full source code will be available at github and the library will be published to NuGet.

Source code is available at github: Math-Expression-Evaluator

How to Get Elevated Process Path in .Net

By on December 22, 2011 in .Net Framework

As you know retrieving process path in .Net is quite straightforward. For example if you have process instance someProcess you can get the process path by accessing someProcess.MainModule.FileName However for elevated processes the previous code snippet throws Win32Exception. Continue Reading →

Bugs in System.Diagnostics.Process Class

By on December 20, 2011 in .Net

While working on an application which makes use of Process class I found several bugs which occur in special conditions. More specifically accessing StartTime or HasExited properties causes a Win32Exception with NativeErrorCode equal to five. This indicates that the exception is caused by not having enough rights to retrieve the required information.

The exception occurs under the following conditions: Continue Reading →
