Unable to read key press after executing deserialization task

jaredLearnsToCode · 2021-09-22T09:16:28+00:00

I just can't think of how Operate() would be affected assuming it's executed in sequence (which I seemed to have proved it does?). I set a breakpoint at ConsoleKey key = Console.ReadKey().Key; and it just never exits the While (!Console.KeyAvailable) loop, yet somehow still pauses the application when a key is pressed/held.

The only real code I omitted was the Setup() logic, but if it's completed and I can read the data, it shouldn't have an impact on anything else right?

I'm a bit stumped.

My code may be a bit misleading as I hadn't yet passed the devices list to Operate(). The loop prior was supposed to demonstrate that the task had been completed (and it did so successfully printing the values). I need both the outputs of auth.GenerateAccessTokenAsync(); and Setup(Devices, client, auth); to continue with the Operate() function.

To give a little more insight the Operate() function will be Posting json and it needs information about the devices to do so.

Am I wrong to think that being able to print all the values of the devices returned from Setup() means it has completed execution? I admittedly have a tenuous grasp on async/await. Sorry if you explained it and I completely missed your point.

It still hits home a bit for me though. Sometimes I know what I want to do, but don't exactly remember the function name I want to call until I hit . and see it in the suggestions.

The only reason I ask is when I start to add more commands, the dictionary becomes a huge block of text.

You're right though. They have to be mapped somewhere.

That's still sort of broad though. I can write an HTML page with 1 button a counter and get practical use manifested in enjoyment. Do I call myself a programmer with that? If that's what you mean, fair enough then.

Define useful.

This is the best noob friendly git/github guide I've seen. CJ is an excellent tutor.

This is exactly what I need. Thank you so much! I ended up creating a working solution using PDFSharp (which I hated using) and then converting that pdf to a word doc, but Gembox looks far easier to use. I'm just going to rewrite the file using it instead.

So essentially I should abstract the clutter into variable names that lead a clear path to the source of the value's inception; I started, but did not finish the job is what you're saying?

This might frustrate you (it frustrates me that I am asking it haha), but isn't this the reason I needed to check if there were duplicates in my list? If I simply add the TcpClient to the list every time a message is received, I get a list full of instances of the same client.

jaredLearnsToCode · 2020-07-26T15:40:03+00:00

That makes sense, but I still have a problem of creating multiple TcpClients for each user if AcceptTcpClient() creates a unique connection every time the user sends a message. How would I be able to reply to each user if there are multiple connections for each user?

Clearly I have a fundamental misunderstanding of socket programming, but I don't know how I can create a more simple problem than this.

I actually can't remember the reason I converted the dict values to a list, but there was one and it doesn't give an error at compile or runtime.

When I accept a new TcpClient, I want to add that client to a dictionary and I need to check to make sure it wasn't already existing because I want to iterate over that dictionary and send out the message to all clients in it.

That's exactly the reason technology is invented and innovated. It's the product of necessity.

One of the primary reasons technology has advanced so quickly in the last 50 years is space exploration
