RecentIy I needed to find a specific TreeNode in a TreeView control. I expected that would be easy with LINQ, but quickly realized that there is no method in the .NET framework that will let me traverse all nodes of a hierarchy. I decided to create one myself.

In this previous article articles about parsing files, I took a very simplistic approach to reading a delimited file. I used string.Split
, which doesn’t handle the use of quotes and usage of the delimiter character inside quotes.
Well, it turns out theres more to reading a delimited file than splitting at the delimiter… Continue reading “The trouble with delimited”

Parsing textfiles with LINQ (or LINQ-to-TextReader)
Reading and parsing files is really no difficult task with the .NET framework. The System.IO namespace has several good classes to aid that task. Continue reading “Parsing textfiles with LINQ (or LINQ-to-TextReader)”
