For types known at compile-time, use a generic parameter with Query<T>. public class Dog { public int? Age { get; set; } public Guid Id { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } public float? Weight { get; set; } public int IgnoredProperty { get { return 1; } ...

You can also query dynamically if you leave off the generic type. IDBConnection db = /* ... */; IEnumerable<dynamic> result = db.Query("SELECT 1 as A, 2 as B"); var first = result.First(); int a = (int)first.A; // 1 int b = (int)first.B; // 2

class ToyProfiler : IProfiler { public ConcurrentDictionary<Thread, object> Contexts = new ConcurrentDictionary<Thread, object>(); public object GetContext() { object ctx; if(!Contexts.TryGetValue(Thread.CurrentThread, out ctx)) ctx = null; ...

ConnectionMultiplexer conn = /* initialization */; var profiler = new ToyProfiler(); conn.RegisterProfiler(profiler); var threads = new List<Thread>(); var perThreadTimings = new ConcurrentDictionary<Thread, List<IProfiledCommand>>(); for (var i = 0; i < 16; i++) {...

IDBConnection db = /* ... */ var id = /* ... */ db.Execute(@"update dbo.Dogs set Name = 'Beowoof' where Id = @id", new { id });

Simple usage Dapper fully supports stored procs: var user = conn.Query<User>("spGetUser", new { Id = 1 }, commandType: CommandType.StoredProcedure) .SingleOrDefault(); Input, Output and Return parameters If you want something more fancy...

To fetch multiple grids in a single query, the QueryMultiple method is used. This then allows you to retrieve each grid sequentially through successive calls against the GridReader returned. var sql = @"select * from Customers where CustomerId = @id select * from Orders where Cust...

Dapper makes it easy to follow best practice by way of fully parameterized SQL. Parameters are important, so dapper makes it easy to get it right. You just express your parameters in the normal way for your RDBMS (usually @foo, ?foo or :foo) and give dapper an object that has a member called foo...

A common scenario in database queries is IN (...) where the list here is generated at runtime. Most RDBMS lack a good metaphor for this - and there is no universal cross-RDBMS solution for this. Instead, dapper provides some gentle automatic command expansion. All that is requires is a supplied para...

Sometimes, you want to do the same thing multiple times. Dapper supports this on the Execute method if the outermost parameter (which is usually a single anonymous type, or a domain model instance) is actually provided as an IEnumerable sequence. For example: Order[] orders = ... // update the tot...

All values in Redis are ultimately stored as a RedisValue type: //"myvalue" here is implicitly converted to a RedisValue type //The RedisValue type is rarely seen in practice. db.StringSet("key", "aValue");

db.StringSet("key", 11021); int i = (int)db.StringGet("key"); Or using StackExchange.Redis.Extensions: db.Add("key", 11021); int i = db.Get<int>("key");

string fullOrRelativePath = "testfile.txt"; string fileData; using (var reader = new StreamReader(fullOrRelativePath)) { fileData = reader.ReadToEnd(); } Note that this StreamReader constructor overload does some auto encoding detection, which may or may not conform to the ...

C# allows user-defined types to overload operators by defining static member functions using the operator keyword. The following example illustrates an implementation of the + operator. If we have a Complex class which represents a complex number: public struct Complex { public double Real ...

Extension methods were introduced in C# 3.0. Extension methods extend and add behavior to existing types without creating a new derived type, recompiling, or otherwise modifying the original type. They are especially helpful when you cannot modify the source of a type you are looking to enhance. Ex...

Extension methods can also be used like ordinary static class methods. This way of calling an extension method is more verbose, but is necessary in some cases. static class StringExtensions { public static string Shorten(this string text, int length) { return text.Substring(0, ...

Initialize a collection type with values: var stringList = new List<string> { "foo", "bar", }; Collection initializers are syntactic sugar for Add() calls. Above code is equivalent to: var temp = new List<string>(); temp.Add("foo"); temp.A...
