After enabling Stereo Mix, configure your playback devices:
This configuration routes audio through both selected devices simultaneously.
C#'s async/await
pattern simplifies asynchronous programming, but integrating it into console applications poses a challenge. The traditional static void Main()
method can't be marked as async
, leading to compiler errors when attempting to use await
directly.
Workaround Strategies:
Separate Async Method: Encapsulate asynchronous operations within a separate method marked as async
. Then, invoke this method from Main()
using .GetAwaiter().GetResult()
to execute it synchronously. This approach ensures exceptions are unwrapped properly, avoiding the AggregateException
that occurs with .Result
or .Wait()
.
Async Main (C# 7.1 and Later): Starting with C# 7.1, you can define the entry point as static async Task Main()
, allowing the use of await
directly within Main()
. This modernizes the approach and simplifies asynchronous code execution in console applications.
For a detailed explanation and code examples see Async/await in a console application.
Summary:
This video demonstrates how to generate a TreeView structure using data directly from a SQL Server database in an MVC 4 application. The example uses recursive methods to fetch hierarchical data from a parent-child table (such as a category structure). The TreeView is rendered using a combination of Razor and recursive HTML helpers.
Key Steps:
Best For:
Developers working with older ASP.NET MVC versions who need to generate TreeViews from database-driven content, particularly with dynamic data structures.
Summary:
This tutorial walks through building a TreeView in ASP.NET Core using ViewModel binding and JSON serialization. The TreeView is rendered on the client side using a simple recursive HTML structure. The backend constructs the hierarchy from a static or database source and passes it to the view. The data is structured using parent-child relationships, and the final JSON is passed to the view for rendering. No third-party libraries are used, making it a lightweight and transparent solution.
Key Steps:
Best For:
Developers using ASP.NET Core who want a lightweight, client-side rendered TreeView without relying on jQuery plugins or third-party UI components.
TreeView is a popular UI component used for displaying hierarchical data in a nested, expandable structure. In ASP.NET MVC and ASP.NET Core, creating a TreeView can enhance navigation, represent parent-child relationships (such as categories or folders), and improve user interaction with complex data structures.
This overview introduces how TreeViews are implemented in both ASP.NET MVC 4 and ASP.NET Core, using Razor views and model binding, and how data from a database can be dynamically rendered in a hierarchical format.
jsTree is a lightweight jQuery plugin that enables the creation of interactive tree views within web applications. It supports themes, drag-and-drop, keyboard navigation, and various data formats including JSON and HTML. Developers can extend it with plugins for checkboxes, search, context menus, and more.
Key features include:
jsTree is well-suited for projects that still leverage jQuery and need quick integration of hierarchical navigation or selection UIs.
To play audio through two devices at once, enable the "Stereo Mix" feature:
This setup allows audio to be duplicated across multiple output devices.
JavaScript Date
objects are always created and manipulated relative to the user’s local timezone, which it gets from the environment.
const date = new Date("2025-05-27T20:03:00Z"); // stored as UTC console.log(date.toString()); // → "Tue May 27 2025 22:03:00 GMT+0200 (Central European Summer Time)"
To determine the client’s timezone:
Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone // → "Europe/Berlin" or similar
This automatic timezone handling is key to understanding how UTC inputs appear offset when viewed or edited on the frontend.
