CREATED ISSUE: ConsoleFx is not localizable

Eshva — Sat, 02 Feb 2008 21:43:14 GMT

The current version ConsoleFx 1.0 beta 1 is not localizable. All strings are hardcoded into C# source code. Better practice is to place all strings like messages into resources. This way you can create a satellite assemble for a new locale. Probably I've done this work and next try to post a path (I will do it for the first time, sorry if I will make something wrong). I've done a russian translation as an example.

CREATED ISSUE: Use SNVBridge for ConsoleFX

Codeplex works fine with SVN.
Just run SVNBridge on your local machine

COMMENTED TASK: Additional validators

pbaxter — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 12:34:31 GMT

Add validators for the following:
1. floating-point numbers
2. file masks
3. e-mail addresses
4. urls

Great idea for extensibility. I had a similar need but used a slightly different approach. I developed an interface and then created a set of common interfaces that the system could use - in my case these are "tear-off" filter conditions. You can build your own validator by implementing the interface and adding it to the existing list of interfaces. You might also make your base classes sealed so the user must create a derived class and can then add their own interfaces there. Just a suggestion. Looking forward to the next drop.

Instead of adding additional validator classes for these items, we'll add a constants class that contains regular expressions for these common patterns, and these can be used from the RegexValidatorAttribute class.

In addition, we'll make the RegexValidator attribute class unsealed, so others can make specific versions for any pattern.

CLOSED TASK: Use Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()

jeevanjj — Wed, 18 Jul 2007 00:08:12 GMT

Use the Environment.GetCommandLineArgs() method to retrieve the command-line arguments, instead of having to pass the args string array to the ConsoleFx entry point.
Comments: Fixed.

CLOSED ISSUE: Creating a new Regex every ConsoleEx.Write is inefficient

jeevanjj — Wed, 18 Jul 2007 00:06:23 GMT

const string colorMarkupRE = @"<(\w*):(\w*)>";
MatchCollection matches = Regex.Matches(resolvedText, colorMarkupRE);

Inside the method void ConsoleEx.Write(string text, params object[] args), the color markup regular expression is compiled into .NET's inner representation every time Write is called, which is rather inefficient.

private static Regex colorMarkup = new Regex(@"<(\w*):(\w*)>",RegexOptions.None);

would really help. You might even consider using RegexOptions.Compiled at the cost of increased start-up time.
Comments: Thanks SealedSun, the issue has been fixed. The changes have been checked into the Subversion repository at SourceForge.

CLOSED ISSUE: CommandLine.Parse method signature wrong

jeevanjj — Tue, 17 Jul 2007 23:37:54 GMT

int CommandLine.Parse<T>(string[] args)

For this overload of the Parse() method, we will not have access to the created T program object. Only the program mode is returned. However, we will need to access the program object in order to read parameter properties, values set in the switch methods, etc.

Can we change the method's signature to:

int CommandLine.Parse<T>(string[] args, out T program)
Comments: Fixed

CREATED TASK: Update exception error messages

jeevanjj — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 21:58:33 GMT

Update the ConsoleFx exception messages to be user-friendly, so they can be directly displayed when an error occurs.

CREATED TASK: Allow ParameterProperty attribute on public fields

jeevanjj — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 21:52:37 GMT

Creating properties for assigning the ParameterProperty attribute is very cumbersome. It will be useful to also allow public fields to be decorated with this attribute.

COMMENTED TASK: Use Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()

jeevanjj — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 22:39:18 GMT

Use the Environment.GetCommandLineArgs() method to retrieve the command-line arguments, instead of having to pass the args string array to the ConsoleFx entry point.
Comments: ** Comment from web user: jeevanjj **

Completed. There was a small issue, because the first element in the array returned by Environment.GetCommandLineArgs() is the executable file path, while the args parameter in the Main() method does not have such an element.

Added an additional overload for CommandLine.Execute() of the form:

int Execute<T>(bool callExecutor, out T program)

and changed the CommandLine.Parse<T> method accordingly.

jeevanjj — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 14:03:20 GMT

This will require that the CommandLine.Execute() method signature changes. It should now be:

int Execute(bool callExecutor, out object program)
