Syntax Highlighter For Blogger

in blogger, html, java, tutorial - By Mohamed Shimran - on 7/19/2013 - 4 comments

I have been using Alex Gorbatchev Syntax Highlighter for a long while now . someone requested me to write an article about using this syntax highlighter in blogger so here i go .

Select a theme for the syntax highlighter , those links have previews of the theme.

Default - shThemeDefault.css
Django - shThemeDjango.css
Eclipse - shThemeEclipse.css
Emacs - shThemeEmacs.css
Fade To Gray - shThemeFadeToGray.css
Midnight - shThemeMidnight.css
RDark - shThemeRDark.css

Now add these codes under your head in your html .

After adding those codes now it's time to set your theme to the syntax highlighter , in the third line of code that i gave before . this parameter is what i meant

now after styles/ add the theme style , you can see the theme style right after the theme preview link . for example i have selected shThemeRDark.css then my parameter would look like this

Now you have successfully added the syntax highlighter now save your template and now we will test the syntax highlighter . you cannot just add the code and let it define the language , you should define the language in the tag . you can see what language we can highlight from here . coming to the point i will show you how to syntax highlight a java hello world program .

go to the HTML tab in your post and find where you want the syntax highlighter to be and here we go

replace ____ with your language name and replace codes with your codes and that's how it works . here is a sample of the syntax highlighter.

public class HelloWorld {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World");
    }

}

Thanks For Reading , Have A Great day .

How To : Change Drive Name Or Label In C#

in c#, drive, tutorial - By Mohamed Shimran - on 7/14/2013 - 3 comments

Changing Drive things are pretty easy with kernel32 so what we are going to do is just change the name or label , okay okay i know it's called label and not name most of the times :D . first of all let's design the Form .

Add two text boxes and two labels and a button and make your look like this(if you believe in my UI design)

Now coming to the coding , hmm we need to add kernel32 to the project so add the namespace using System.Runtime.InteropServices; , Now import the kernel32.dll to your project by adding these codes under or on top of

public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

The codes(kernel32)

        [DllImport("kernel32")]
        static extern long SetVolumeLabelA(string lpRootName, string lpVolumeName);

After that go to your button(rename) click codes and add these

            long lab;
            lab = SetVolumeLabelA(textBox1.Text, textBox2.Text);

Now test your project , if it didn't work for you please let me know by commenting on this post or else contact me via the contact page I hope explanations are not needed for this simple codes , Thank you.

How To : Check Internet Connection In C#

in c#, internet, tutorial - By Mohamed Shimran - on 7/13/2013 - 2 comments

Amm, i think i wrote something about connecting and disconnecting the internet in vb.net that's actually a simple matter(process commands) . We are going to use wininet.dll in this tutorial so first of all add this namespace using System.Runtime.InteropServices; after that add this codes after InitializeComponent(); }

 [DllImport("wininet.dll")]
        private extern static bool InternetGetConnectedState(out int Description, int ReservedValue);
        bool IsConnectedToInternet()
        {
            bool a;
            int xs;
            a = InternetGetConnectedState(out xs, 0);
            return a;
        }

What those lines of codes does is , it first adds the dll and then creates a function to use the API,So now to check the state of your internet connection let's use a if condition(;).

            if (IsConnectedToInternet() == true) MessageBox.Show("Internet Is Working");
            if (IsConnectedToInternet() == false) MessageBox.Show("Internet Is Not Working");

Just add those lines for a event to check the internet . Thanks For Reading , Peace.

How To Put HTML,CSS,JAVASCRIPT Codes In Your Blogger Articles

in javascript, syntax highlighter, tutorial - By Mohamed Shimran - on 7/08/2013 - 4 comments

Yes this is my second blogger tutorial , actually this is something i had to do to solve a problem . i use alexgorbatchev.com/SyntaxHighlighter but it seems that if i use anything similar to class in any language then some span tags cover them so the code goes wrong so i was looking for something that will fix my big problem then i found prism.js so i tried it and it's really great those span tags were not there so i wanted to share this with you .

Details of the script


/**
 * prism.js default theme for JavaScript, CSS and HTML
 * Based on dabblet (http://dabblet.com)
 * @author Lea Verou
 */

So to use it in your blogger blog or normal website , just add these under your head tag

Usage :

replace markup with your language name :).

by the way they also provide themes and plugins also you can select the languages , just go to prismjs.com and then go to download there you will be able to select the languages and plugins finally download the css and js.

Hope you like this tutorial , peace.

After that you will fall into the mouse_move event , go to designer and add two labels and just write down the below codes in MouseMove

label1.Text = "X : "+e.X.ToString();
