Strings

The @ Symbol
The @ symbol tells the string constructor to ignore escape characters and line breaks. The following two strings are therefore identical:

string p1 = "\\\\My Documents\\My Files\\";
string p2 = @"\\My Documents\My Files\";


// Copy one character of the string (not possible with a System.String)
sb[0] = sb[9];

System.Console.WriteLine(sb); // displays 9123456789
}
}

How to detect HTML5 support for a browser?

HTML5 has introduced lots of new cool  tags . Not all the browsers support all tags and also the implementation of these tags may be different for each browser.

So you need a more robust way to detect the features supported by the browser as the same engine of two different versions of a browser mig...

Searching Unicode characters in Oracle table

Oracle implementation of Regular expression has no support for using hexadecimal code to search for Unicode characters. The only way to search for Unicode character is it use the character itself. Normally with Regular expression, you can use \x or \u followed by hexadecimal code to search for any character. E.g. \x20 will match space. But REGEXP_LIKE in Oracle does not support \x. You need to use unistr function to convert the code to equivalent character and then use it with REGEXP_LIKE. E.g. REGEXP_LIKE(source,'[' ||unistr('\0020')|| ']');

System.Configuration in .Net Framework 2 onwards

Often application need custom configuration section. System.Configuration namespace includes classes for reading and writing configuration settings.
