c# - How to use Display Text property in SelectList -


is there better way of using value , text properties of selectlist i'm doing in following view? feel i'm doing work should be.

note: i'm aware of other ways of using dropdowns value , text. question related on how achieve same while using selectlist

... var customerslist = _context.customers.select(c => new selectlistitem { value = c.lastname, text = c.fullname });  myviewmodel.lstcustomers = new selectlist(customerslist , "value", "text"); ... return view(myviewmodel);

i found similar methods here , here.

the htmlhelper methods generating <select> element (@html.dropdownlistfor() etc) expect ienumerable<selectlistitem> 1 of parameters, therefore lstcustomers should ienumerable<selectlistitem>

public ienumerable<selectlistitem> lstcustomers { get; set; }

you first line of code

var customerslist = _context.customers.select(c => new selectlistitem { value = c.lastname, text = c.fullname });

is generating that, required is

myviewmodel.lstcustomers = customerslist;

you use of new selectlist(customerslist , "value", "text"); creating identical ienumerable<selectlistitem> first 1 , unnecessary overhead. (selectlist is ienumerable<selectlistitem> , wrapper around provide constructors generate collection).

if want use selectlist constructor change code to

var customerslist = _context.customers; myviewmodel.lstcustomers = new selectlist(customerslist , "lastname", "fullname");

both generate same output. difference between methods selectlist constructor uses reflection determine properties use options value , display text, fractionally slower, , uses 'magic strings' not typed. benefit little less verbose.

android - InAppBilling registering BroadcastReceiver in AndroidManifest -

i'm implementing inapp billing in android app. works well, however, i'm trying decouple broadcast receiver activity manifest. suggestion in android's trivialdrive sample: // important: dynamically register broadcast messages updated purchases. // register receiver here instead of <receiver> in manifest // because call getpurchases() @ startup, therefore can ignore // broadcasts sent while app isn't running. // note: registering listener in activity bad idea, done here // because sample. regardless, receiver must registered after // iabhelper setup, before first call getpurchases(). currently there's class extends broadcastreceiver : public class iabbroadcastreceiver extends broadcastreceiver { /** * intent action receiver should filter for. */ public static final string action = "com.android.vending.billing.purchases_updated"; private final iabbroadcastlistener mlistener; public iabbroadcastreceiver(iabbroadcastlistener listener) { m...
