LiteDB

13. LiteDB - download site
LiteDB is a serverless database delivered in a single small DLL (< 450kb) fully written in .NET C# managed code (compatible with .NET 4.5 and NETStandard 2.0). Install it via NuGet or just copy the DLL to your bin project folder. LiteDB is a simple and fast NoSQL database solution. Ideal for mobile apps (Xamarin ready), desktop/local applications, application file format, web applications, and one database per account/user data store. Portable UWP and Xamarin iOS/Android, ACID transactions, single datafile (like SQLite), recovery data in writing failure (WAL mode), map your POCO class to BsonDocument, fluent API for custom mapping. Cross collections references (DbRef), store files and stream data (like GridFS in MongoDB), LINQ query support, free for everyone, including commercial use. LiteDB supports SQL-like language for data and structure manipulations. You can insert, update, delete or query your database using a very similar SQL relational language.
14. My work with LiteDB

Recently I was looking for a storage system for my program. This is a desktop application that creates many objects and searches for text in them. So I thought: "Why don't I try something new." Instead of an SQL database, I could use some kind of document database. But I didn't want to have a separate server, I wanted this database to work with a simple file. Search the Internet for this kind of databases for .NET applications quickly led me to LiteDB. And here I want to share my experience with this database.

Windows Form Basics

28. Windows Forms Events Lifecycle

Today there are a large number of books covering .NET and Windows Forms. While most of these books discuss the essentials of working with Windows Forms and guide you well on your way to becoming proficient in developing Windows Forms applications, very few books cover a vital and much needed topic. And this topic is: the sequence of events that are triggered for a Form. Knowing the lifecycle of a Form can help you place important bits of code in relevant events.

33. Convert from string to us-ascii in c#

Strings in .NET already are Unicode, so there's no need to convert them from Unicode to Unicode. If you want to output a unicode escaped string, then try this:

34. System.Text.Encoding Class

Represents a character encoding.

35. Encoding.Default Property

40. UTF-8 Character Encoding in .NET

Every year or so I manage to uncover a gap in my knowledge as it relates to strings, character sets, and encoding. I have just started embracing this as part of the cycle of mastering (or attempting to master) any given topic. Whenever I feel the need I resort to the most fundamental mechanisms of learning. It is a simple act of reading, practice and memorization.
