10 C# Shorthands that improve productivity | Martijn's C# Programming Blog If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting! One of the best things about C# is that as the language and libraries expand thought is put into keeping things readable. 1. I first read about the ? 1.int x = 10; 2.int y = 20; 3.int max; 5.if (x > y) 6. max = x; 7.else 8. max = y; Using the (Question) ? 3.int max = (x > y) ? 2. How often do you test for null values in your code? 1.object cache = null; 2.object d = new object(); 3.object e; 5.if (c ! 6. e = c; 8. e = d; It is obvious that we can rewrite this using the single ? 3.object e = (c ! Using the ?? 3.object e = c ?? 3. After you create a new object you often have to assign one or more of its properties. 1.Customer c = new Customer(); 2.c.Name = "James"; 4.c.Address = "204 Lime Street"; can be written as: 1.Customer c = new Customer { Name="James", Address = "204 Lime Street" }; 4. Often you will need to allocate a system resource such as a font, file handle, network resource etc. 03.try 07.finally 10.if (font1 ! 11.

General, Debugging, Options Dialog Box To access the General page, open the Tools menu and choose Options. In the Options dialog box, expand the Debugging node and choose General. This page lets you set the following general debugging options: Ask before deleting all breakpoints Requires confirmation before completing the Delete All Breakpoints command. Break all processes when one process breaks Simultaneously breaks all processes to which the debugger is attached, when a break occurs. Break when exceptions cross AppDomain or managed/native boundaries In managed or mixed-mode debugging, the common language runtime can catch exceptions that cross application domain boundaries or managed/native boundaries when the following conditions are true: 1) When native code calls managed code by using COM Interop and the managed code throws an exception. 2) When managed code running in application domain A calls managed code in application domain B and the code in application domain B throws an exception. Enable address-level debugging
The Best Websites to Learn How to Write Code The best tutorials and websites where you can learn how to write code in PHP, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Python and all the other popular programming languages. The Learn to Code movement has picked up momentum worldwide and that is actually a good thing as even basic programming skills can have a major impact. If you can teach yourself how to write code, you gain a competitive edge over your peers, you can think more algorithmically and thus can tackle problems more efficiently. Don’t just download the latest app, help redesign it. Don’t just play on your phone, program it. — Obama. There’s no reason why shouldn’t know the basics of coding. Gone are the days when you had to enroll in expensive computer training classes as now exist a plethora of web-based courses that will help you learn programming at your own pace in the comfort of your web browser. If you are ready to take the plunge, here are some of the best websites that offer courses in a variety of programming languages for free.
VS 2010 and .NET 4 Series [In addition to blogging, I have been using Twitter more recently to-do quick posts and share links. You can follow me on Twitter at: (@scottgu is my twitter name)] Over the next few months I’m going to be doing a series of posts that talk about some of the cool things coming with the VS 2010 and .NET 4 release. VS 2010 and .NET 4 are the next major releases of our developer tools and framework. I will update this page with links to the individual posts I do as I publish them along the way: Hope this helps, Scott

Compiled » String Formatting in C# I couldn’t find a quick reference to .NET string formatting using the String.Format() function, so I created this one (which has also spawned this String Formatting FAQ). When I started working with the .NET framework, one thing puzzled me. I couldn’t find sprintf(). sprintf() is the C function that takes an output buffer, a format string, and any number of arguments, and builds a string for you. For example: char szError[256];sprintf(szError, “Error %d occurred. This would write “Error 12 occurred.” into the szError buffer (assuming nError was 12). str << “Error ” << nError << ” occurred.” << endl; Or something close to that. The .NET framework handles strings very nicely – but it takes some getting used to. string errorString = String.Format(“Error {0} occurred.”, nError); Teeming with metadata, the .NET environment doesn’t need the format string to say what type of data you’re formatting, just where you want it. Strings Numbers Basic number formatting specifiers: Custom number formatting:

EncloseJS · Compiler for io.js/node.js SD-TOOLKIT. A Toolkit for Software Developers TechNet Wiki This article provides a step-by-step code sample on how you can implement your own custom authentication and authorization in a WPF application by implementing classes that derive from the IIdentity and IPrincipal interfaces and overriding the application thread’s default identity. This article was originally published on my blog in March 2013: It is very common for enterprise applications to provide access to data or resources based on the credentials supplied by the user and these kinds of applications typically check the role of a user and provide access to various resources based on that role. To get started, create a new WPF application in Visual Studio, add a new class called CustomIdentity and implement it as below. using System.Security.Principal; namespaceWpfApplication publicclass CustomIdentity : IIdentity publicCustomIdentity(stringname, stringemail, string[] roles) Name = name; Email = email; Roles = roles; get;
