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:

         static void CheckForUpdate()
         {
             var fileContent = string.Empty;

             EditorUtility.DisplayProgressBar("VSCode", "Checking for updates ...", 0.5f);

             // Because were not a runtime framework, lets just use the simplest way of doing this
             try
             {
                 using (var webClient = new System.Net.WebClient())
                 {
                     fileContent = webClient.DownloadString("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dotBunny/VSCode/master/Plugins/Editor/VSCode.cs");
                 }
             }
             catch (Exception e)
             {
                 if (Debug)
                 {
                     UnityEngine.Debug.Log("[VSCode] " + e.Message);

                 }

                 // Don't go any further if there is an error
                 return;
             }
             finally
             {
                 EditorUtility.ClearProgressBar();
             }

             // Set the last update time
             LastUpdate = DateTime.Now;

             // Fix for oddity in downlo
             if (fileContent.Substring(0, 2) != "/*")
             {
                 int startPosition = fileContent.IndexOf("/*", StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase);

                 // Jump over junk characters
                 fileContent = fileContent.Substring(startPosition);
             }

             string[] fileExploded = fileContent.Split('\n');
             if (fileExploded.Length > 7)
             {
                 float github = Version;
                 if (float.TryParse(fileExploded[6].Replace("*", "").Trim(), out github))
                 {
                     GitHubVersion = github;
                 }

                 if (github > Version)
                 {
                     var GUIDs = AssetDatabase.FindAssets("t:Script VSCode");
                     var path = Application.dataPath.Substring(0, Application.dataPath.Length - "/Assets".Length) + System.IO.Path.DirectorySeparatorChar +
                                AssetDatabase.GUIDToAssetPath(GUIDs[0]).Replace('/', System.IO.Path.DirectorySeparatorChar);

                     if (EditorUtility.DisplayDialog("VSCode Update", "A newer version of the VSCode plugin is available, would you like to update your version?", "Yes", "No"))
                     {
                         // Always make sure the file is writable
                         System.IO.FileInfo fileInfo = new System.IO.FileInfo(path);
                         fileInfo.IsReadOnly = false;

                         // Write update file
                         File.WriteAllText(path, fileContent);

                         // Force update on text file
                         AssetDatabase.ImportAsset(AssetDatabase.GUIDToAssetPath(GUIDs[0]), ImportAssetOptions.ForceUpdate);
                     }

                 }
             }
         }
