Using Linq DefaultIfEmpty() extension method

By Using DefaultIfEmpty() extension method you can check the sequence for empty and return something for it and do some manipulation on it afterwards.

For example
var numbers = new int[] {1,2,3,4,5,6,7};
Console.WriteLine(numbers.DefaultIfEmpty().Sum());
If the sequence is empty it will return 0 otherwise it will sum and return that.

By Default if you want to return some value other then 0 it will return that as well

Console.WriteLine(numbers.DefaultIfEmpty(100).Sum());
In this case it will return 100 if the sequence is empty.

Dotnetnuke Inter-module communication (IMC) simplified on version 06.00.02 with c#

Few days ago I developed a module in which I used IMC which really interested me so I decided to write about it. I will try to explain in this post everything that is necessary to make IMC work in the modules. What is Inter Module Communication? As the name implies if you want to communicate or in other words send data from one module to another IMC is one way of doing it. I will be using module A and module B as the names in my post. An Observation: One thing I observed while playing around with it that if module A is on page 1 and module B is on page 2 then the data doesn't get passed. If both the modules are on the same page then only the data get passed. Example: The basic exercise that I will be performing is to take input from the textbox in Module A and display it in label in Module B. 1) You will be using IModuleCommunicator and IModuleListener interfaces to make this communication works. You will be implementing IModuleCommunicator in the class in the modul...
