csharpforevermore / Class1.cs
Created August 9, 2013 17:28
In Umbraco (or any other ASP.NET application using Log4Net, we can output to the log file using the following example. Example
public class Class1
{
private static readonly ILog Log = LogManager.GetLogger(MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType);
public void MyMethod1()
{
// do something
Log.Debug("Example log message");
Log.Warn("This is a warning.");
}

Created August 22, 2013 10:24
When your Action has the condition "ModelState.IsValid = false", you sometimes need to know what is failing. In this case, use the following to iterate through your MVC errors.
foreach (ModelState state in ViewData.ModelState.Values.Where(x => x.Errors.Count > 0))
{
var setbreakpointhere = 1;
}

Randomize / Randomise an ienumerable collection
IEnumerable<int> ints;
var random = new Random();
var shuffled = ints.OrderBy(i => random.Next()).ToList();
// or we can avoid risks of using OrderBy by declaring our own
var random = new Random();
var shuffled = ints

csharpforevermore / GetRandomChildren.cs
Created September 9, 2013 18:13
In Umbraco Razor, sometimes it is necessary to get a random few nodes. This example allows you to get a random collection of child nodes.
// take specific amount from randomised collection of the children
var children = CurrentModel.Children;
var random = new Random();
var shuffled = children.OrderBy(i => random.Next()).ToList().Take(childCount);
children = new DynamicNodeList(shuffled);
