Part of the Microsoft MySkills4Africa I tought C# programming classes in the Dzaleka UNHCR refugee camp near Lilongwe, Malawi # What is this? Code samples created at the Dzaleka UNHCR refugee camp visit when training refugees in C# programming. ## Samples ### Deserialize Serialize This sample show how to serialize and deserialize a `Person` class into JSON with Newtonsoft. It also shows how to write it to disk and how to use NuGet packages. ### Web API REST This sample uses `WebAPISample`, `StudentConsole` and `SharedClassLibrary` projects and demonstrates: - Creating a REST endpoint with WebAPI - Consuming the REST endpoint with the `StudentConsole` - Pushing new data to the REST endpoint - A simple storage with serializing objects to a file on disk - Sharing code via Class Libraries This version of .NET returns XML and JSON when browsing the endpoint in the Chrome browser. To fix it, add the following to `App_Start/WebApiConfig.cs` file: ```csharp // Change the media formats to application/json and not the default application/xml config.Formatters .JsonFormatter .SupportedMediaTypes .Add(new System.Net.Http.Headers.MediaTypeHeaderValue("text/html")); ``` ### Anonymous Functions Showing how to use delegates and anonymous functions e.g. ```csharp TestDelegate testDelB = delegate (string s) { Console.WriteLine(s); }; ``` ### Boxing Showing reference types and value types. Boxing us casting a value type e.g. int to an object and unboxing is the reverse. ### Linq Samples A simple example of using Linq. Go here to see more advanced scenarios. Also shows how to use Lambda functions, which is also anonymous functions and a delegates. ```csharp var scoreQuery2 = scores.Where((x) => x > 80); ```
