C# – How to change the icon in ‘Add or Remove Programs’

ciconswinforms

enter image description here

I'm trying to set the icon in Add or Remove Programs to the same as my application's icon. My icon is stored in the Application Folder of my solution. I read on SourceForge you have to edit the ARPPRODUCTICON property. How/where do I do this in Windows Forms?

I found an extremely simple solution. Under your deployment project's properties, click the "AddRemoveProgram" and browse for your file. I recommend dropping your application's icon in your Application folder.

C# – Create Generic method constraining T to an Enum

Since Enum Type implements IConvertible interface, a better implementation should be something like this:

public T GetEnumFromString<T>(string value) where T : struct, IConvertible
{
   if (!typeof(T).IsEnum) 
   {
      throw new ArgumentException("T must be an enumerated type");
   }

   //...
}

This will still permit passing of value types implementing IConvertible. The chances are rare though.

C# – Case insensitive ‘Contains(string)’

You could use the String.IndexOf Method and pass StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase as the type of search to use:

string title = "STRING";
bool contains = title.IndexOf("string", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) >= 0;

Even better is defining a new extension method for string:

public static class StringExtensions
{
    public static bool Contains(this string source, string toCheck, StringComparison comp)
    {
        return source?.IndexOf(toCheck, comp) >= 0;
    }
}

Note, that null propagation ?. is available since C# 6.0 (VS 2015), for older versions use

if (source == null) return false;
return source.IndexOf(toCheck, comp) >= 0;

USAGE:

string title = "STRING";
bool contains = title.Contains("string", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase);
