For your specific example, there is no need to worry about it. Web browsers perform typographical rendering and place the correct amount of space between periods and whatever character follows (and it's different depending on the next character, according to kerning rules.) If you want line breaks, <br/> isn't really ...

This seems like a perfect scenario for using `JSON` as a serialization format for the server. If you study a few [examples](http://www.json.org/example.html) it is not too difficult to understand.

Best practice on this dictates that if you are not planning to use the stored data for anything other than recreating the form then the best method is to send it back in some sort of native format (As mentioned above) With this then you can just load the data back in and requires the least processing of any method.

There's a lot of people who will push `JSON`. It's a lot lighter weight than `XML`. Personally, I find `XML` to be a little more standard though.

You should only need to override the `equals()` method if you want specific behaviour when adding objects to sorted data structures (`SortedSet` etc.) When you do that you should also override `hashCode()`. See [here](http://www.geocities.com/technofundo/tech/java/equalhash.html) for a complete explanation.

I think that some of the confusion comes from the difference between the concept of a tag and the implementation in SVN. To SVN a tag is a branch which is a copy. Modifying tags is considered wrong and in fact tools like TortoiseSVN will warn you if you attempt to modify anything with ../tags/.. in the path.

you'll have to split the file by linebreaks, then loop thru each line and apply the following logic ``` $seat = 0; $name = 1; $chips = 2; foreach( $string in $file ) { if (preg_match("Seat ([1-0]): ([A-Za-z_0-9]*) \(([1-0]*) in chips\)", $string, $matches)) { echo "Seat: " . $matches[$seat] . "<br>"; echo "...

``` Seat [number]: [letters&numbers&characters] ([number] in chips) ``` Your Regex should look something like this ``` Seat (\d+): ([a-zA-Z0-9]+) \((\d+) in chips\) ``` The brackets will let you capture the seat number, name and number of chips in groups.

If the argument is not null, don't throw an `ArgumentNullException`. It would probably be more reasonable to throw an `ArgumentException`, [explained here.](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.argumentexception.aspx) `ArgumentOutOfRangeException` is probably even better, as suggested above by Avenger546.

You can use [GetTempFileName](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa364991(VS.85).aspx) to create a temporary , then delete and re-create this file as a directory instead.

@Brian I use lambdas all the time in C#, in LINQ and non-LINQ operators.

There are other ways to do it, but most of them involve effort on your part (or take performance from your app, or you have to block a thread to use them, etc).

I am a big fan of [Thrift](http://developers.facebook.com/thrift/) an interoperability stack from Facebook. You said they code will probably run on the same machine so it could be overkill but you can still use it.

AWStats and Webalizer are both good and free (I think both free speech as well as free beer).

Combined answers from @adam-wright and pix0r will work the best IMHO: ``` using System.IO; string path = Path.GetTempPath() + Path.GetRandomFileName(); while (Directory.Exists(path)) path = Path.GetTempPath() + Path.GetRandomFileName(); File.Delete(path); Directory.CreateDirectory(path); ```

Alternatively, you could just programmatically save the current state of autoplay and turn it off when your program starts, then restore the original state when your program closes. This would be a lot simpler. Check out [the NoDriveTypeAutoRun key](http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/reskit/re...

The advantage to using System.IO.Path.GetTempFileName is that it will be a file in the user's local (i.e., non-roaming) path. This is exactly where you would want it for permissions and security reasons.
