How to check if a tweet was sent with tweetinvi [duplicate]

I am relatively new to programming in C# (Learning on my own for a school project) and decided to try using TweetInvi to implement Twitter functionality.
So far it's going good, got the authentication and publishing up and running, but I'm struggling to find out how to use the DestroyTweet() method.
It, and many other methods takes a tweetID parameter, which I can't figure out of how to find for a specific tweet.
Using the following code to publish a tweet, how can i find the tweetID of this tweet?
public ITweet publishTweet(string text)
{
return Tweet.PublishTweet(text);
}
// Snippet from a test method in main class.
twitter.twitterUser.publishTweet(System.Console.ReadLine());
// Still working on GUI so using ReadLine for now.
It's probably an easy solution, but I just can't figure it out!
Thanks in advance.

You can try something like this:
public string PublishTweet(string text)
{
var appCredentials = new TwitterCredentials(_apiKey,_apiSecret, _accessToken, _accessTokenSecret);
Tweetinvi.Auth.SetCredentials(appCredentials);
text = "my tweet";
var publishedTweet = Tweetinvi.Tweet.PublishTweet(text);
var tweetId = publishedTweet.Id.ToString();
return tweetId;
}
You just need to get the published tweet into a var for the result of the PublishTweet() method then you select the field(s) you need.

Simple solution. As explained before you need to take the tweet back from PublishTweet.
string text = "text";
ITweet tweet = Tweet.PublishTweet(text);
bool destroySuccess = tweet.Destroy();

Sub domain as query string

Is there any way in ASP.net C# to treat sub-domain as query string?
I mean if the user typed london.example.com then I can read that he is after london data and run a query based on that. example.com does not currently have any sub-domains.

This is a DNS problem more than an C#/ASP.Net/IIS problem. In theory, you could use a wildcard DNS record. In practice, you run into this problem from the link:
The exact rules for when a wild card will match are specified in RFC 1034, but the rules are neither intuitive nor clearly specified. This has resulted in incompatible implementations and unexpected results when they are used.
So you can try it, but it's not likely to end well. Moreover, you can fiddle with things until it works in your testing environment, but that won't be able to guarantee things go well for the general public. You'll likely do much better choosing a good DNS provider with an API, and writing code to use the API to keep individual DNS entries in sync. You can also set up your own public DNS server, though I strongly recommend using a well-known and reputable commercial DNS host.
An additional problem you can run into is the TLS/SSL certificate (because of course you're gonna use HTTPS. Right? RIGHT!?) You can try a wild card certificate and probably be okay, but depending on what else you do you may find it's not adequate; suddenly you're needing to provision a separate SSL certificate for every city entry in your database, and that can be a real pain, even via the Let's Encrypt service.
If you do try it, IIS is easily capable of mapping the requests to your ASP.Net app based on a wildcard host name, and ASP.Net itself is easily capable of reading and parsing the host name out of the request and returning different results based on that. IIS URL re-writing should be able to help with this, though I'm not sure whether you can do stock MVC routing in C#/ASP.Net based on this attribute.

I have to add to the previous answers, that after you fix the dns, and translate the subdomain to some parameters you can use the RewritePath to move that parameters to your pages.
For example let say that a function PathTranslate(), translate the london.example.com to example.com/default.aspx?Town=1
Then you use the RewritePath to keep the sub-domain and at the same time send your parameters to your page.
string sThePathToReWrite = PathTranslate();
if (sThePathToReWrite != null){
HttpContext.Current.RewritePath(sThePathToReWrite, false);
}
string PathTranslate()
{
string sCurrentPath = HttpContext.Current.Request.Path;
string sCurrentHost = HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Host;
//... lot of code ...
return strTranslatedUrl
}

A low tech solution can be like this: (reference: https://www.pavey.me/2016/03/aspnet-c-extracting-parts-of-url.html)
public static List<string> SubDomains(this HttpRequest Request)
{
// variables
string[] requestArray = Request.Host().Split(".".ToCharArray());
var subDomains = new List<string>();
// make sure this is not an ip address
if (Request.IsIPAddress())
{
return subDomains;
}
// make sure we have all the parts necessary
if (requestArray == null)
{
return subDomains;
}
// last part is the tld (e.g. .com)
// second to last part is the domain (e.g. mydomain)
// the remaining parts are the sub-domain(s)
if (requestArray.Length > 2)
{
for (int i = 0; i <= requestArray.Length - 3; i++)
{
subDomains.Add(requestArray[i]);
}
}
// return
return subDomains;
}
// e.g. www
public static string SubDomain(this HttpRequest Request)
{
if (Request.SubDomains().Count > 0)
{
// handle cases where multiple sub-domains (e.g. dev.www)
return Request.SubDomains().Last();
}
else
{
// handle cases where no sub-domains
return string.Empty;
}
}
// e.g. azurewebsites.net
public static string Domain(this HttpRequest Request)
{
// variables
string[] requestArray = Request.Host().Split(".".ToCharArray());
// make sure this is not an ip address
if (Request.IsIPAddress())
{
return string.Empty;
}
// special case for localhost
if (Request.IsLocalHost())
{
return Request.Host().ToLower();
}
// make sure we have all the parts necessary
if (requestArray == null)
{
return string.Empty;
}
// make sure we have all the parts necessary
if (requestArray.Length > 1)
{
return $"{requestArray[requestArray.Length - 2]}.{requestArray[requestArray.Length - 1]}";
}
// return empty string
return string.Empty;
}

How to cache reading .csv files in C#

This may be a noob question, but I need some help. I have written two simple methods in C#: ReadCsv_IT and GetTranslation. The ReadCsv_IT method reads from a csv file. The GetTransaltion method calls the ReadCsv_IT method and returns the translated input (string key).
My problem is that in the future I will have to request a lot of times GetTranslation, but I obviously don't want to read the .csv files every time. So I was thinking about ways to use cache Memory to optimize my program, so that I don't have to read the .csv file on every request. But I am not sure how to do it and what I could do to optimize my program. Can anyone please help ?
public string ReadCsv_IT(string key)
{
string newKey = "";
using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(#"MyResource.csv"))
{
CsvReader csv = new CsvReader(streamReader);
csv.Configuration.Delimiter = ";";
List<DataRecord> rec = csv.GetRecords<DataRecord>().ToList();
DataRecord record = rec.FirstOrDefault(a => a.ORIGTITLE == key);
if (record != null)
{
//DOES THE LOCALIZATION with the help of the .csv file.
}
}
return newKey;
}
Here is the GetTranslation Method:
public string GetTranslation(string key, string culture = null)
{
string result = "";
if (culture == null)
{
culture = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.Name;
}
if (culture == "it-IT")
{
result = ReadCsv_IT(key);
}
return result;
}
Here is also the class DataRecord.
class DataRecord
{
public string ORIGTITLE { get; set; }
public string REPLACETITLE { get; set; }
public string ORIGTOOLTIP { get; set; }
}
}

Two options IMO:
Turn your stream into an object?
In other words:
Make a class stream so you can refer to that object of the class stream.
Second:
Initialize your stream in the scope that calls for GetTranslation, and pass it on as an attribute to GetTranslation and ReadCSV_IT.

Brecht C and Thom Hubers have already given you good advice. I would like to add one more point, though: using csv files for localization in .NET is not really a good idea. Microsoft recommends using a resource-based approach (this article is a good starting point). It seems to me that you are trying to write code for something that is already built into .NET.
From a translation point of view csv files are not the best possible format either. First of all, they are not really standardized: many tools have slightly different ways to handle commas, quotes, and line breaks that are part of the translated text. Besides, translators will be tempted to open them in Excel, and -unless handled with caution- Excel will write out translations in whatever encoding it deems best.
If the project you are working on is for learning please feel free to go ahead with it, but if you are developing software that will be used by customers, updated, translated into several target languages, and redeployed, I would recommend to reconsider your internationalization approach.

#Brecht C is right, use that answer to start. When a variable has to be cached to be used by multiple threads or instances: take a look at InMemoryCache or Redis when perfomance and distribution over several clients gets an issue.

how to get dynamic value using string instead of key?

I have a Web API controller looking similar to this:
public void Post([FromBody]dynamic postData)
{
foreach (var row in postData)
{
var email = row.email.Value; // ok
var eventType = row.event.Value; // cannot use because "event" is reserved by .NET, C# or whatever
}
}
I'm getting a JSON from external system which contains this "event" property (outside of my control), that I'm unable to retrieve. I've tried dozens of workaround, but none of them seemed to work in this scenario. Hopefully there is some easy way of retrieving it.
The best bet I had was using reflection like:
row.GetType().GetProperty("event").GetValue(row, null);
But didn't work as I had expected. Is there something else I can try?

Solution is to use "#" like:
row.#event.Value

Umbraco. Get node's url in console application

I work with Umbraco from Console application.
When I try get NiceUrl for some node it is impossible because UmbracoContext.Current is null.
I can get node path with ids like this: "-1,1067,1080", but don't know how convert it in url format.
How Can I get NiceUrl for Node in console application?
I did next:
In my console application I get node by Id, simple like this:
Node someNode = new Node(nodeId);
When I try get NiceUrl:
string url = someNode.NiceUrl;
get ArgumentNullException.
I checked why it: found next answer NiceUrl uses UmbracoContext so it is not possible because it's null.
Also I can't use this: UmbracoContext.Current.ContentCache.GetById(someidhere).Url
Thanks.

Without the UmbracoContext I don't think it's possible in V6 to get the URL of an IContent node.
I looked through the Umbraco source code and decided to recreate the way it's done there. I came up with this, which worked for my needs.
https://gist.github.com/petergledhill/ca2a3a0ea81b06abcb08
public static class ContentExtensions
{
public static string RelativeUrl(this IContent content)
{
var pathParts = new List<string>();
var n = content;
while (n != null)
{
pathParts.Add(n.UrlName());
n = n.Parent();
}
pathParts.RemoveAt(pathParts.Count() - 1); //remove root node
pathParts.Reverse();
var path = "/" + string.Join("/", pathParts);
return path;
}
public static string UrlName(this IContent content)
{
return new DefaultUrlSegmentProvider().GetUrlSegment(content).ToLower();
}
}

Yes, you can't use: UmbracoContext.Current.ContentCache because this is accessing the same context.
It looks like you are using v6+, so instead you will need to use the API services that Umbraco provide, specifically the ContentService.
There is a thread here that looks into the same thing you are asking: http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/api-questions/37981-Using-v6-API-ContentService-in-external-application
And an example of a solution here: https://github.com/sitereactor/umbraco-console-example
