Lazy Programming for Smarties(blogs.dotnetkicks.com)

submitted by bsenoff(1583) 1 month, 7 days ago

As a programmer, I can honestly say that I am lazy. Forget the menial job of repeating tasks… if it takes me an hour to complete an iteration, I would rather spend 3 hours automating the process. You never know when you might need to do it again, and the click of a button is much more satisfying than an hour of processing data. I know I’m not the only one who feels this way either, otherwise Andy Hunt and Dave Thomas wouldn’t have codified the DRY principle in The Pragmatic Programmer…. Don’t Repeat Yourself. read more...

Empowering Enums(www.kodefuguru.com)

submitted by KodefuGuru(2818) 8 months, 6 days ago

When reading Steve Smith’s articles on enums on ASP.NET Alliance and his blog, I couldn’t help but think of a different approach to the issue. I’ve seen, used, and coded the enum class pattern before (and it works well), but we have new language features today to encourage reuse and empower true enums. I am going to show you techniques that won’t require significant changes to your code if you have an existing base of enums. read more...

C#/.NET Little Wonders: The String Remove() and Replace() Methods(www.blackrabbitcoder.net)

submitted by BlackRabbitCoder(661) 8 months, 12 days ago

When manipulating string data, many times you want to either remove parts of a String or replace characters in a String.

Instead, there are two methods in the String class, ready to use, that let you do this easily: Remove() and Replace(). read more...
