From DotNetBlogEngine to WordPress

So after losing 6 months worth of posts I have now converted this blog to use WordPress.

To transfers the posts I wrote a simple linqpad script that uses WordPressSharp

After trying Syntax highlighter I instead choose this code formatter.

// need nuget WordPressSharp

internal class FileStore
{
 public IList<Post> Posts { get; private set; }

 public void ReadFiles()
 {
 const string folderPath = @"C:\temp\posts";
 Posts = new List<Post>();
 var files = Directory.GetFiles(folderPath);

 files.ToList().ForEach(ProcessFile);
 }

 private void ProcessFile(string filepath)
 {
 //Load xml
 XDocument xdoc = XDocument.Load(filepath);

 //Run query
 var posts = from lv1 in xdoc.Descendants("post")
 select new Post()
 {
 Title = lv1.Element("title").Value,
 Content = lv1.Element("content").Value,
 PublishDateTime = Convert.ToDateTime(lv1.Element("pubDate").Value),
 CustomFields = GetDesc(new KeyValuePair<string, string>("Description", lv1.Element("description").Value))
 };
 posts.ToList().ForEach(Posts.Add);
 }

 public CustomField[] GetDesc(params KeyValuePair<string,string>[] fieldsToAdd)
 {
 var list = new List<CustomField>();
 foreach (var keyValuePair in fieldsToAdd)
 {
 list.Add(new CustomField()
 {
 Id=Guid.NewGuid().ToString(),
 Key=keyValuePair.Key,
 Value = keyValuePair.Value
 });
 }

 return list.ToArray();
 }
}


 private static void Main(string[] args)
 {
 var url = "http://www.mckelt.com/blog/";
 var cfg = new WordPressSiteConfig
 {
 BaseUrl = "/blog/xmlrpc.php",

 BlogId = 1,
 Username = "username",
 Password = "password"
 };


 var fs = new FileStore();
 fs.ReadFiles();

 foreach (var post1 in fs.Posts.OrderBy(x=>x.PublishDateTime))
 {
 post1.Status = "publish";
 using (var client = new WordPressClient(cfg))
 {
 client.NewPost(post1);
 }
 }
 }
 }
