Copying and Pasting cs Code

In cs, like in almost any computer programming language, reading data from a file can be tricky. You add extra lines of code to tell the computer what to do. Sometimes you can copy and paste these lines from other peoples’ code.

For example, you can follow the pattern in this listing:

         /// The message object can be anything that Photon can serialize, including (but not limited to)
         private bool SetOnlineStatus(int status, object message, bool skipMessage)
         {
             if (!this.CanChat)
             {
                 // TODO: log error
                 return false;
             }

             Dictionary parameters = new Dictionary
                 {
                     { ChatParameterCode.Status, status },
                 };

             if (skipMessage)
             {
                 parameters[ChatParameterCode.SkipMessage] = true;
             }
             else
             {
                 parameters[ChatParameterCode.Message] = message;
             }
             return this.chatPeer.OpCustom(ChatOperationCode.UpdateStatus, parameters, true);
         }
