Verbatim strings can be combined with the new String interpolation features found in C#6. Console.WriteLine($@"Testing \n 1 2 {5 - 2} New line"); Output: Testing \n 1 2 3 New line Live Demo on .NET Fiddle As expected from a verbatim string, the backslashes are ignored as escap...

String interpolation allows the developer to combine variables and text to form a string. Basic Example Two int variables are created: foo and bar. int foo = 34; int bar = 42; string resultString = $"The foo is {foo}, and the bar is {bar}."; Console.WriteLine(resultString); ...

The ?. operator and ?[...] operator are called the null-conditional operator. It is also sometimes referred to by other names such as the safe navigation operator. This is useful, because if the . (member accessor) operator is applied to an expression that evaluates to null, the program will throw ...

By definition, the short-circuiting boolean operators will only evaluate the second operand if the first operand can not determine the overall result of the expression. It means that, if you are using && operator as firstCondition && secondCondition it will evaluate secondCondition ...

public class Animal { public string Name { get; set; } public Animal() : this("Dog") { } public Animal(string name) { Name = name; } } var dog = new Animal(); // dog.Name will be set to "Dog" by default. var cat = new Ani...

A constructor of a base class is called before a constructor of a derived class is executed. For example, if Mammal extends Animal, then the code contained in the constructor of Animal is called first when creating an instance of a Mammal. If a derived class doesn't explicitly specify which constru...

For an instance of a type: var theString = "hello"; var theType = theString.GetType(); From the type itself: var theType = typeof(string);

using System; using System.Reflection; using System.Linq; public class Program { public static void Main() { var members = typeof(object) .GetMembers(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Static | ...

Get Instance method and invoke it using System; public class Program { public static void Main() { var theString = "hello"; var method = theString .GetType() .GetMethod("Substring", ...

To avoid duplicating code, define common methods and attributes in a general class as a base: public class Animal { public string Name { get; set; } // Methods and attributes common to all animals public void Eat(Object dinner) { // ... } public void Stare()...

An interface is used to enforce the presence of a method in any class that 'implements' it. The interface is defined with the keyword interface and a class can 'implement' it by adding : InterfaceName after the class name. A class can implement multiple interfaces by separating each interface with ...

public class Animal { public string Name { get; set; } } public interface INoiseMaker { string MakeNoise(); } //Note that in C#, the base class name must come before the interface names public class Cat : Animal, INoiseMaker { public Cat() { Name = "Ca...

public class Dog { private const string _birthStringFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd"; [XmlIgnore] public DateTime Birth {get; set;} [XmlElement(ElementName="Birth")] public string BirthString { get { return Birth.ToString(_birthStringFormat); } ...

string requestUri = "http://www.example.com"; string responseData; HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(parameters.Uri); WebResponse response = request.GetResponse(); using (StreamReader responseReader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream())) { ...

string requestUri = "http://www.example.com"; string responseData; using (var client = new WebClient()) { responseData = client.DownloadString(requestUri); }

Code can and should throw exceptions in exceptional circumstances. Examples of this include: Attempting to read past the end of a stream Not having necessary permissions to access a file Attempting to perform an invalid operation, such as dividing by zero A timeout occurring when downloading a...
