Features:

• Infinite undo/redo for all edit operations.
• In place popup multi-line editing of large text node values.
• Configurable fonts and colors via the options dialog.
• Full find/replace dialog with support for regex and XPath.
• Good performance on large XML documents, loading a 3mb document in about one second.
• Instant XML schema validation while you edit with errors and warnings shown in the task list window.
• Intellisense based on expected elements and attributes and enumerated simple type values.
• Support for custom editors for date, dateTime and time datatypes and other types like color.
• Handy nudge tool bar buttons for quick movement of nodes up and down the tree.

• Built-in XML Diff tool.

New features included in this version:

• Added keyboard accelerators for find again (F3) and reverse find (SHIFT+F3).
• Added support for loading IXmlBuilder and IXmlEditor implementations from different assemblies using new vs:assembly attribute.
• Made source code localizable by moving all error messages and dialog strings to .resx files.
• Added a default XSL transform.
• New icons, a play on the Vista "Notepad" icons.

System.Data: Export table to a CSV file

In this post I will present a function that can be used to export a data table to a CSV file. The function first loops through the columns of the data table to export the names of all the data columns. And then in next loop the code iterates over each data row to export all the values in the table.

/// <summary>
/// Exports the table to CSV string.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="table">The table.</param>
/// <param name="printHeaders">
/// if set to <c>true</c> print headers.</param>
/// <returns>CSV formated string</returns>
private static string ExportTableToCsvString(
    DataTable table,  bool printHeaders
)
{
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

    if (printHeaders)
    {
        //write the headers.
        for (int colCount = 0; 
             colCount < table.Columns.Count; colCount++)
        {
            sb.Append(table.Columns[colCount].ColumnName);
            if (colCount != table.Columns.Count - 1)
            {
                sb.Append(",");
            }
            else
            {
                sb.AppendLine();
            }
        }
    }

    // Write all the rows.
    for (int rowCount = 0; 
         rowCount < table.Rows.Count; rowCount++)
    {
        for (int colCount = 0; 
             colCount < table.Columns.Count; colCount++)
        {
            sb.Append(table.Rows[rowCount][colCount]);
            if (colCount != table.Columns.Count - 1)
            {
                sb.Append(",");
            }
        }
        if (rowCount != table.Rows.Count - 1)
        {
            sb.AppendLine();
        }
    }
    
    return sb.ToString();
}

Powershell Analyzer

Powershell Analyzer is a rich interactive environment for Windows Powershell. Its goal is to be the powershell host of choice for IT professionals and system administrators. It has all the typical editor and IDE functionality that you would expect when working on a modern language, but it focuses on the real time interactive experience as if you were at the console, helping you compose the commands you want to use, and also giving you rich graphical visualization of the results. Powershell may seem to just return text like the average Unix shell, but in reality, it is returning rich self describing Dotnet objects.  Powershell Analyzer not only helps you with the INPUT, but also with the output.  It shows you the properties of the rich objects that the commands return, as well as specific visualizers to help you interact with output such as XML, HTML, charts, tables, and hierarchical data structures.
