The VB Catch syntax has a particular feature not present in C#: When. It allows users to filter expressions based on something other than their type. Any arbitrary code can enter a When block to decide whether or not to handle an Exception Sub Sub1() Try DoSomeAction() Catch ex As Exception When Filter(ex) Stop End Try End Sub Newsgroups often ask, "Why's this so special? I could effectively get the same behavior out of C# ...

I'm currently reading the (generally excellent) CLR via C#, and I've recently hit the section on boxing. Why is it that authors feel they have to scaremonger about the effects boxing can have on performance? Here's a piece of code from the book: using System;public sealed class Program { public static void Main() { Int32 v = 5; // Create an unboxed value type variable.#if INEFFICIENT // When compiling the following line, v is boxed ...

一个很棒的创意。网格形式的便签之墙，每块有四层，都属于灰色调慢慢的加深。当取下一张又一张时，变幻而成的马赛克样式又是不同的特色。当我们在讲电话需要记录的时候，可以直接在墙上写好，然后撕下来就OK了；也可以向朋友进行留言等等。一个很方便的存在。还可以防止小朋友在上面乱画，或者允许他们在上面涂鸦，然后撕下来带走吧。

Thanks to everyone who attended my session "Functional C# or how I lost the foreach and learned to love LINQ". This is still an ongoing passion of mine that I hope to expand upon in the upcoming posts. Some of these topics include favoring functional composition over inheritance and implementing patterns such as the Specification Pattern using these techniques. I'll be posting all code snippets from the functional posts up to date on the MSDN ...

Last Monday evening I had a chat with the guys from DotNetRocks, and today the show has gone live. I wouldn't claim to have said anything particularly earth-shattering, and regular readers will probably be familiar with many of the themes anyway, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and hope you will too. Amongst other things, we talked about: Protocol buffers Implicit typing and anonymous types Why it doesn't bother me that Office hasn't been ported to ...

What is beatiful code? The shortest answer (which I've read somewhere but can't remember where) is:we all know what "ugly code" is: code that someone else wrote...But beautiful code? Isn't it in the eye of the beholder? Well, for me, beautiful equals readable. You have to see on the first sight what the overall idea of the piece of code is. On the other side, the idea itself might be crap (!!!) but then we ...

A while ago I wrote an article about StringBuilder and a reader mailed me to ask about the efficiency of using String.Format instead. This reminded me of a bone I have to pick with the BCL. Whenever we make a call to String.Format, it has to parse the format string. That doesn't sound too bad, but string formatting can be used a heck of a lot - and the format is almost always hard-coded in ...

I suspect this has been done several times before, but on my way home this evening I considered what would be needed for the reverse of nullable value types - non-nullable reference types. I've had a play with an initial implementation in MiscUtil (not in the currently released version) and it basically boils down (after removing comments, equality etc) to this: public struct NonNullable<T> where T : class{ private readonly T value; public NonNullable(T value) ...

Lately, I've been playing with NHibernate and the Repository pattern - and struggling with it a bit. I understand the concept, but it's the implementation that's been bothering me. I was questioning whether to use one repository, or to have many - essentially one per entity. You can see me questioning it a bit in the Entities And Repositories Discussion I posted a while ago, where I asked Nate Kohari whether he used one repository ...

Just after the ASP.NET MVC preview 5 was released, I made a quick attempt to using the ModelBinder attribute. In short, a ModelBinder allows you to use complex objects as action method parameters, instead of just basic types like strings and integers. While my aproach was correct, it did not really cover the whole picture. So here it is: the full picture. First of all, what are these model binders all about? By default, an ...

Script# è un compilatore C# che in pratica fa una cosa tanto semplice quanto utile: permette di compilare codice C# in JavaScript invece che in codice MSIL. Questo codice JavaScript (comprensibile e quindi facilmente manutenibile) prodotto a partire da codice C# può quindi facilmente essere utilizzato in applicazioni web e nello specifico in applicazioni AJAX. In questo modo Script# ci permette di sviluppare codice AJAX potendo sfruttare tutte quelle caratteristiche tipiche dell’ambiente di sviluppo rappresentato ...
