const int July = 7; const int Feb = 2; int daysInJuly = System.DateTime.DaysInMonth(2001, July); Console.WriteLine(daysInJuly); // daysInFeb gets 28 because the year 1998 was not a leap year. int daysInFeb = System.DateTime.DaysInMonth(1998, Feb); Console.WriteLine(daysInFeb); // daysIn...

Add years on the dateTime object: DateTime baseDate = new DateTime(2000, 2, 29); Console.WriteLine("Base Date: {0:d}\n", baseDate); // Show dates of previous fifteen years. for (int ctr = -1; ctr >= -15; ctr--) Console.WriteLine("{0,2} year(s) ago:{1:d}", ...

Once the instance of the BackgroundWorker has been declared, it must be given properties and event handlers for the tasks it performs. /* This is the backgroundworker's "DoWork" event handler. This method is what will contain all the work you wish to have your progra...

This allows the BackgroundWorker to be cancelled in between tasks bgWorker.WorkerSupportsCancellation = true; This allows the worker to report progress between completion of tasks... bgWorker.WorkerReportsProgress = true; //this must also be used in conjunction with the ProgressChanged event...

A BackgroundWorker is commonly used to perform tasks, sometimes time consuming, without blocking the UI thread. // BackgroundWorker is part of the ComponentModel namespace. using System.ComponentModel; namespace BGWorkerExample { public partial class ExampleForm : Form { ...

The following example demonstrates the use of a BackgroundWorker to update a WinForms ProgressBar. The backgroundWorker will update the value of the progress bar without blocking the UI thread, thus showing a reactive UI while work is done in the background. namespace BgWorkerExample { public...

Extension methods are useful to extend the behaviour of libraries we don't own. They are used similar to instance methods thanks to the compiler's syntactic sugar: Sub Main() Dim stringBuilder = new StringBuilder() 'Extension called directly on the object. stringBuilder.AppendIf(t...

A good use of extension method is to make the language more functional Sub Main() Dim strings = { "One", "Two", "Three" } strings.Join(Environment.NewLine).Print() End Sub <Extension> Public Function Join(strings As IEnumerable(Of String), separa...
