C#/.NET Toolbox: Creating a "Safer" Task Dispose()(www.blackrabbitcoder.net)

submitted by BlackRabbitCoder(661) 7 months, 20 days ago

So recently, I’ve been moving some older utility classes logic over to use the excellent .NET Task Parallel Library (TPL). This library contains, at it’s core, a class called Task which allows parallel programming without the need of working directly with threads. During this process, I wrote a few extension methods I found to be useful in dealing with tasks in an easier manner, and thought I’d share them in a few posts. Today's will discuss an extension method to make disposing a task a little bit "safer". read more...

submitted by BucketSoft(324) 7 months, 20 days ago

What is a race condition you say? Well, simply put, it's when two or more threads race to an event or line of code. Sometimes one thread will win the race, and sometimes the other thread will. What this comes down to is that this inconsistent behavior can cause some strange and unexpected results. read more...

C# 5 PropertyChanged - No more magic strings!(www.robfe.com)

submitted by dpeterson(4397) 8 months, 5 days ago

Changes in C# 5 mean no more NotifyPropertyChanged("SomeVariable"), which is a common source of bugs. It also means we no longer have to suffer the performance degradation associated with using workarounds such as lambda's just for the sake of compile-time checking. From here on out, the compiler does the work for us. read more...

New book: Parallel Programming with Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Step (blogs.msdn.com)

submitted by rcash(4149) 8 months, 20 days ago

Now available: Parallel Programming with Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Step by Step. Developers can no longer rely on clock rate advances to improve the speed of software. Instead, developers need to focus on how to identify the independent portions of their code, and program them to run simultaneously, in parallel, so they can take advantage of the new multi-core architecture. Not only does parallel programming require a change in code, it also requires a change in the way developers think about code. read more...

The negative view on assembly references in the .Net community(codebetter.com)

submitted by dpeterson(4397) 8 months, 20 days ago

Dru Sellers starts an interesting discussion into why many people in the .Net community are opposed to having many assembly references in their projects. It seems counter-intuitive that this would be the case with the sky-rocketing popularity of using open source projects in .Net (and the ease of doing so with NuGet). What are your two cents? read more...
