C#/.NET Little Wonders: The Generic Action Delegates(www.blackrabbitcoder.net)

submitted by BlackRabbitCoder(661) 6 months, 23 days ago

Back in one of my three original “Little Wonders” Trilogy of posts, I had listed generic delegates as one of the Little Wonders of .NET.

So over the next few weeks, I’ll be looking at some of the handy generic delegates built into .NET. For this week, I’ll give a quick overview of delegates and their usefulness. Then I’ll launch into a look at the Action generic delegates and how they can be used to support more generic, reusable algorithms and classes. read more...

We've seen a few articles lately on ensuring that your memory is properly cleaned up during garbage collection, but today Michael McLaughlin comes in with tips to avoid automatic collection of your objects.
