Implementing Interfaces: ICloneable and IComparable(blog.reamped.net)

submitted by kayos(890) 4 years, 2 months ago

A friend of mine was showing me about some common interfaces and some good use cases for them the other day. A discussion arose of how to accurately create a deep copy of an object and the best way to go about it. Shortly after that discussion we got into the Sort() method and how to dictate how that method will sort your objects. This is when he spilled into telling me all about these common interfaces. read more...

Howto savely move a file using C# (saftsack.fs.uni-bayreuth.de)

submitted by agnes_(290) 4 years, 2 months ago

If possible this version uses the special File.Replace on NTFS and gracially falls back on Delete+Move on any other filesystem. Nothing else to comment about here. I am just amazed that this kind of save moving is not supported by the framework itself. Instead the framework's move routine throws an exception if there is an file existing at the target location. Weird. ;) read more...

Try/Catch Blocks Can Hurt Performance Significantly(chinhdo.com)

submitted by chinhdo(395) 4 years, 3 months ago

Over at Programmers Heaven.com, there’s an interesting article on the potential performance impact of try/catch blocks. The article concluded that the average cost of a try/catch block is essentially nothing (sorry there’s no author information on the post), and that .NET/C# programmers should not think twice about using try/catch blocks. The author is right that a try/catch block has essentially zero cost. However, like most coding performance issues, exceptions and try/catch blocks do not have performance implications until they occur in some type of loop. read more...

When TDD goes bad(gojko.net)

submitted by gojko(1115) 4 years, 3 months ago

Last week, at the London .NET User Group meeting, Ian Cooper talked about Test-driven development, focusing on both good and bad practices. I’m a big fan of learning from anti-patterns and mistakes of other people, so the second part of his session was very interesting to me. Here is a short list of things that Ian identified as symptoms that TDD has gone bad in a project, along with my comments... read more...

LINQ provides a standard way for developers to query data in diverse locations, ranging from in memory objects, XML data, or relational data living in an Oracle Database.Lets take a look at a scenario where we use Linq to objects to query a directory on the local drive for files that match a given extension, and show the results in a Datagrid control. read more...
