Wrap Your Name Value Variables(sitepoint.com)

submitted by wwb_99wwb_99(870) 5 years, 3 months ago

ASP.NET gives a developer a lot of loosely typed key-value collections in which to stash stash variables, depending upon persistence needs. The short list includes ViewState, Session, Application and HttpContext.Items. These collections can come in very handy when one needs to keep an object around outside of a single request or shuttle things between different bits of the http pipeline. But it comes at a price—these collections are loosely typed, just returning Objects. Moreover, there is no compile-time checking to ensure that you are requesting the right key in the right place. Errors can lead to crashes at best, and interesting data corruption at worst. Here is a handy technique to avoid such issues. read more...

Only iterating over the objects you want in a foreach loop(jeremyjarrell.com)

submitted by jeremyjarrelljeremyjarrell(2685) 5 years, 3 months ago

Have you ever had a collection made of several types which all derive from the same base class? How many times have you needed to iterate the whole collection and check each element to make sure its the type that you want to work with? Here's how to do you type checking completely inline inside of the foreach loop so you only get the objects you want. read more...

C# Generics Recipes(en.csharp-online.net)

submitted by HyleHyle(2755) 5 years, 6 months ago

Learn when and where to use generics and find recipes for using generics to solve problems. Excerpt: A long-awaited feature, generics, is finally here with the advent of Version 2.0 of the C# compiler. Generics is an extremely useful feature that allows you to write less, but more efficient, code. This aspect of generics is detailed more in Recipe 4.1. With generics comes quite a bit of programming power, but with that power comes the responsibility to use it correctly. If you are considering converting your ArrayList, Queue, Stack, and Hashtable objects to use their generic counterparts, consider reading Recipes 4.4, 4.5, and 4.10. As you will read, the conversion is not always simple and easy, and there are reasons why you might not want to do this conversion at all. read more...

Performance of foreach vs. List.ForEach(diditwith.net)

submitted by cls2degcls2deg(1535) 5 years, 7 months ago

Today I was iterating a List<int> using a foreach-loop and feeling a bit smug in knowing how much more performance-conscious I was being than if I'd tried doing the same thing with an ArrayList filled with ints. Thanks to the wonder of generics, the C# compiler neatly avoids numerous boxing operations by using a System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerator<int> instance instead of the older System.Collections.IEnumerator. Then I got to thinking: "is this really the fastest way?" Upon investigation, it turns that, no, it isn't the fastest way. read more...

Code Better - Use String.Format(codebetter.com)

submitted by gavinjoycegavinjoyce(25.7k) 5 years, 7 months ago

Poorly handled exceptions might speak volumes about someone's coding abilities, but it's string concatenation that's a sure bet to kill a programs readability (thus maintainability). Everyone knows that they should use StringBuilder's for better performance when concatenating a lot, but to improve maintainability, string.format is king! read more...
