Live Writer Test Post

Microsoft just released a technical preview of the newest version of Windows Live Writer.  Since this has a couple of features I’ve really been looking for, I’m going to try it out.  If it works well, I’ll start using it for all my (very infrequent) posts.  I apologize in advance for all the random content – I just want to try out the new features to make sure they work how I want them to.

Here’s a picture:

Here is a code snippet:

   1: using System;

   2: using System.Collections;

   3: using System.Reflection;

   4:  

   5: namespace ExternalDSL {

   6:   public class DslExecuter {

   7:     private readonly Hashtable parameters = new Hashtable(StringComparer.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase);

   8:  

   9:     public void AddParameter(string name, object parameter) {

  10:       parameters[name] = parameter;

  11:     }

  12:  

  13:     public object Invoke(ActionExpression expression) {

  14:       object obj = parameters[expression.Left];

  15:       if (obj == null)

  16:         throw new InvalidOperationException("Could not find parameter with name: " + expression.Left);

  17:       MethodInfo method =

  18:         obj.GetType().GetMethod(expression.Operator,

  19:                                 BindingFlags.IgnoreCase | BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Public);

  20:       if (method == null)

  21:         throw new InvalidOperationException("Could not find method operator " + expression.Operator + " on " +

  22:                                             expression.Left);

  23:       ParameterInfo[] methodParams = method.GetParameters();

  24:       if (methodParams.Length != 1)

  25:         throw new InvalidOperationException(expression.Operator + " should accept a single parameter");

  26:       object converted;

  27:       Type paramType = methodParams[0].ParameterType;

  28:       if (paramType.IsEnum)

  29:         converted = Enum.Parse(paramType, expression.Right, true);

  30:       else

  31:         converted = Convert.ChangeType(expression.Right, paramType);

  32:       return method.Invoke(obj, new object[] {converted});

  33:     }

  34:   }

  35: }
