27 Kicks

submitted by dncdude(1350) 2 years, 8 months ago

When doing code reviews or when working with code that was developed by someone else, once in a while I come across keywords that are rarely used. Some of them are forgotten keywords that are not considered a good practice and hence are not promoted by the community. Some of them could be handy and efficient but they never made it to the limelight.

Rarely used?? The "using" keyword should be used frequently by anybody dealing with disposable resources. And the rest aren't even keywords: (yield is a contextual keyword, which anyone using a functional style will use frequently, ?? is an operator, @ is syntax, and ForEach is a method!

If you're not familiar with the "keywords" (most of which aren't even keywords, but whatever) then you should become more familiar with them. With exception to the ForEach() method (which I personally don't like), I use almost every one of these almost daily. A using statement is especially necessary.

My mistake. Didn't read the wording around @ and assumed you were talking about C# strings that are not escaped. But that would be a naming rule. It certainly isn't a keyword.
