JSON Deserialization Multiple Entries

Hello. Is there an easy way to enumerate through this .json and pull out the data I need onto a UI? Stuff like Prop ID, Prop Name, etc. Of courses there's multiple props per .json so I'd need to be able to deserialize them all, edit them, and reserialize back.

JSON Parsing to TreeView

Hello. I'm still banging my head on my desk the past 2 days trying to read a .json file which has a "table" root, into a TreeView. You'd think it would be easy for a dumbass but nope. Please help 😦 I tried ChatGPT, I tried Google, MS Learn, etc and I am a loser somehow. The example CharacterMapping.json file:

Dependency Injection + MVVM?

I followed a Tim Corey tutorial on Dependency Injection in WPF but he did not use MVVM just raw code behind. How hard would be to switch over to MVVM? I just want an app where I have a MainView, SettingsView, and a few other Views. He uses Interfaces, etc and I'm lost. :< What should I do?

BindModel with DateTimePicker

I have a simple WinForms Dapper ORM w/SQLite app I've written, everything works except binding to the DateTimePicker controls. My model:

namespace TaskMinder.Model;

public class Entry
{
    public int Id { get; set; } = 0;
    public DateTime EntryDate { get; set; }
    public DateTime EntryTime { get; set; }
    public string EntryData { get; set; } = string.Empty;
}

namespace TaskMinder.Model;

public class Entry
{
    public int Id { get; set; } = 0;
    public DateTime EntryDate { get; set; }
    public DateTime EntryTime { get; set; }
    public string EntryData { get; set; } = string.Empty;
}

My method:

    private void BindModel(Entry model)
    {
        NewEntryDatePicker.DataBindings.Add("Value", model, "EntryDate", true, DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged);
        NewEntryTimePicker.DataBindings.Add("Value", model, "EntryTime", true, DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged);
        NewEntryTextBox.DataBindings.Add("Text", model, "EntryData", true, DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged);
    }

    private void BindModel(Entry model)
    {
        NewEntryDatePicker.DataBindings.Add("Value", model, "EntryDate", true, DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged);
        NewEntryTimePicker.DataBindings.Add("Value", model, "EntryTime", true, DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged);
        NewEntryTextBox.DataBindings.Add("Text", model, "EntryData", true, DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged);
    }

What am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance.

_sdbModel Model not being referenced

❔ Bytes to UInt64

I am having a issue trying to turn the hex output to ulong, (UINT64). I keep getting 6687895829614943646 from 5CD02DD2B303DD9E I know 5CD02DD2B303DD9E should be 11447309898705915996 since my hex editor is right. I am using Little Endian. Any help would be appreciated, thank you. Here is my code:

    private void GenerateHash()
    {
        // Make sure the input is not empty.
        if (HashInput.Text.Length > 0)
        {
            // Convert \ to /
            string hashInput = HashInput.Text.Replace(@"\", "/");
            HashInput.Text = hashInput;

            string hashString;
            if (HashTypeList.SelectedIndex == 0)
            {
                hashString = ByteConverter.ByteArrayToString(HashFNV1.Hash(hashInput));

❔ ✅ ListView Annoyances.

I am trying to use await/async to pull all files from all folders in a chosen path. The issue I have is when trying to add them to a listview, and it keeps erroring out with the message: :'Cannot add or insert the item 'bakedfile00/AI/AIGOSGameObject.jsfb' in more than one place. You must first remove it from its current location or clone it. (Parameter 'item')' I am close to solving it, been trying various things but no luck. Can anyone help me? Thank you. My code is at this URL due to Discord message limit. https://pastebin.com/Eab8dP9F Thank you! ❤️

Is there a way to do this in C# without relying on Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO? Thank you.

❔ Enumerating Running Processes

I am missing something, besides brain cells but what should I be returning if I want a ComboBox to have the list of Windows processes?

        public static string GetRunningProcesses()
        {

            foreach (Process process in processes)
            {
                RunningProcessList.Add(process.ProcessName);    
            }

            return List<string> RunningProcessList;
        }
    }

❔ System.AccessViolationException: 'Attempted to read or write protected memory.

Even with <AllowUnsafeCodeBlocks> enabled and using unsafe { }, this error does not go away. And before anyone asks, no this is not a cheat app or related to online gaming. Is this a limitation of C#? Thanks! System.AccessViolationException: 'Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.'

BinaryReader Question

Trying to read the values AS bytes, but reader reads them as decimals, is there a trick to making it bytes?

            byte[] bytesCrowdType = new byte[8];
            int offset = 288;

            if (File.Exists(fileName)) 
            {
                using (BinaryReader reader = new BinaryReader(new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Open)))
                {
                    reader.BaseStream.Seek(offset, SeekOrigin.Begin);
                    reader.Read(bytesCrowdType, 0, 8);          
                }    
            }

            byte[] bytesCrowdType = new byte[8];
            int offset = 288;
