The VB example, while technically correct, is not how it is usually done.

Imports System.Console
Imports System.IO

Module Module1

Sub Main()
Dim dInfo As New DirectoryInfo("C:/Temp")
' set bool parameter to false if you
' do not want to include subdirectories.
Dim sizeOfDir = DirectorySize(dInfo)

WriteLine("Directory size in Bytes : {0:N0} Bytes", sizeOfDir)
WriteLine("Directory size in KB : {0:N2} KB", sizeOfDir / 1024)
WriteLine("Directory size in MB : {0:N2} MB", sizeOfDir / (1024 * 1024))

ReadLine()
End Sub

Private Function DirectorySize(ByVal dInfo As DirectoryInfo, Optional ByVal includeSubDir As Boolean = True) As Long
' Enumerate all the files
Dim totalSize = Aggregate file In dInfo.EnumerateFiles() Into Sum(file.Length)

' If Subdirectories are to be included
If includeSubDir Then
' Enumerate all sub-directories
totalSize += Aggregate dir In dInfo.EnumerateDirectories Into Sum(DirectorySize(dir))
End If

Return totalSize
End Function

End Module

1. You never have to import System or LINQ
2. Import System.Console to avoid writing `Console.` everwhere
3. VB has LINQ syntax for aggragates.
4. Type inference is a good thing.
5. Optionals are also a good thing when used responsibly.
6. The `/` operator already returns doubles. For intereger division use `\`.
7. Underscores are only needed in LINQ expressions, the rest of the time it is implied by the context.

Hi,

Is there any method that returns list of files from a directory for a given date range (i.e. start date - end date)

@sarankamal:

I've tried this on a website destined for iPhone with a very large table (1000 rows, 6 columns) and the user-interface locks and becomes unresponsive for several seconds. You definitely want to be careful about devices/browsers with low JavaScript performance.

Nice post. gtmetrix looks real good, especially the report breakdown.

To the people behind this site -
When I ran gmetrix, I got the following suggestions for this site:
Add Expires headers
Use a Content Delivery Network (CDN)
Make fewer HTTP requests
Reduce DNS lookups

Google Page Speed is also a good tool to analyze the speed of your website. It is available in the Firebug plugin for Firefox.

Also gtmetrix(dot)com is a good website that analyzes the speed of your website using both YSlow and PageSpeed.

Why installing an extra plugin if this is build in JavaScript?

Open your javascript console an type:

/^[0-9]{5}(?:-[0-9]{4})?$/.exec("98002")

In my version of VS2010, the "Show all settings" checkbox was not there, but I _was_ still able to click the "Restore file associations" button and have it work.

Also take a look at loadUI.

It's free open source and looks really promising.

As you may have guessed, blogger does not escape the || characters, hence you are not able to see it in the post. You have to manually specify &# 124;

Hi Suprotim,

Your code posted in the code is incorrect. Instead of
if (day == 2 day == 5) {
it should be
if (day == 2 || day == 5) {.

I have found another solution on http://jquerybyexample.blogspot.com/2010/07/disable-specific-days-in-jquery.html.

However your jsCodebin code is correct.

It helps me too, thank you!

Whether this is pointless or not it is not 100% accurate.

I'm busy updating an old web application with a few iFrames in it and trying to find the absolute position of an element inside an iFrame is a huge headache!

.offset() & .position() only return the top and left co-ordinates within the iFrame and not the screen it is being displayed in, therefore it is not the absolute position!

PushToTest.com has a free community version of their open source testing framework TestMaker. You can re-use your existing Java, Ruby, Groovy, Python, .Net scripts or Selenium and soapUI recordings. Worth a mention.

jQuery Sparkle also includes a very nice and slim jQuery Events Calendar based on the jQuery UI DatePicker. It's been a good choice so far for using in the sidebars of client dashboards on production sites:
