naming

I am using CodeDom to generate dynamic code based on user values. One of those values controls what the name of the class I'm generating is. I know I could sterilize the name based on language rules about valid class names using regular expressions, but I'd like to know if there is a specific method built into the framework to validate and/or sterilize a class name. An easy way to determine if a string is a valid identifier for a class or variable is to call the static method System.CodeDom.Compiler.CodeGenerator.IsValidLanguageIndependentIdentifier(string value) Jason Diller Use the

From Building Skills in Python : "A file name like exercise_1.py is better than the name execise-1.py. We can run both programs equally well from the command line, but the name with the hyphen limits our ability to write larger and more sophisticated programs." Why? Daniel G The issue here is that importing files with the hyphen-minus (the default keyboard key - ; U+002D ) in their name doesn't work since it represents minus signs in Python. So, if you had your own module you wanted to import, it shouldn't have a hyphen in its name: >>> import test-1 File "<stdin>", line 1 import test-1 ^

I'm writing a simple parser to read the config file.The config.h interface have only three main functions they are in brief as follows, config_init(); config_dinit(); config_parse(); config_read_value(); My question is those functions will emit different type of errors , for a example, config_init() emit , FILE_NOT_FOUND,FILE_EOF_ERROR,FILE_OPEN_ERROR, ... config_dinit() emit , NOT_INIT_ERROR , config_parse() emit , PARSE_ERROR, OVERFLOW_ERROR, INVALID_CHARACTER_FOUND_ERROR,... config_read_value() emit, SECTION_NOT_FOUND,KEYWORD_NOT_FOUND,OVERFLOW_ERROR,NOT_INITIALIZED_ERROR,INVALID_STATE

How can i give a class instance the name of an existing variable. I am trying like this string hex = "BF43F"; Zeugh hex = new Zeugh(); but its wrong. I want to create an object BF43F with the properties of Zeugh class. Sounds like you want a Dictionary<string, Zeugh> . For example: var d = new Dictionary<string, Zeugh>(); string hex = "BF43F"; d.Add(hex, new Zeugh()); (later) Zeugh it = d["BF43F"]; You can't declare two variables with the same name in the same scope. If you later access the variable hex , how should the compiler know if you mean the "BF43F" string or the Zeugh object? Or do
