How can I set the substitution property by overriding the default substitution ?
In the following example, the first TextBlock does not have the Substitution property set, so the algorithm displays Arabic digits as expected. However in the second TextBlock, the substitution is set to ’European’, overriding the default substitution for Arabic numbers and hence European digits are displayed. [XAML] <Page x:Class=’WindowsApplication.Window1′ xmlns=’http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation’ xmlns:x=’http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml’ Title=’Code Sample’ Height=’300′ Width=’300′ > <StackPanel> <TextBlock Language=’ar-SA’ FlowDirection=’RightToLeft’>????: 1+2=3 </TextBlock> <TextBlock Language=’ar-SA’ FlowDirection=’RightToLeft’ NumberSubstitution.Substitution=’European’>????: 1+2=3 </TextBlock> </StackPanel> </Page>

How do I serialize objects to a binary file ?
Objects can be serialized to a binary file using the System.Runtime.Serialization and System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary namespaces. The following code snippet is used to write a stream to a binary file.

How do I retrieve data from a DataObject ?
Data from a Dataobject can be retrieved using the overloads of ‘GetDataPresent()’ method in the DataObject. The following overloads can be used to retrieve the data from a DataObject. GetDataPresent (DataFormat) – It first checks whether the data of the specified format is available. If so, it retrieves the data using the ‘GetData(DataFormat)’ method. [C#] dataobject.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.UnicodeText); GetDataPresent (DataFormat, auto-conversion) – It first checks whether the data of the specified format is available. If so, it retrieves the data using the ‘GetData(DataFormat)’ method. It also filters the auto-convertible data in the DataObject. [C#] dataobject.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.UnicodeText,false);
