int? i = null; if (i != null) { Console.WriteLine("i is not null"); } else { Console.WriteLine("i is null"); } Which is the same as: if (i.HasValue) { Console.WriteLine("i is not null"); } else { Console.WriteLine("i is null&quot...

The left-hand operand must be nullable, while the right-hand operand may or may not be. The result will be typed accordingly. Non-nullable int? a = null; int b = 3; var output = a ?? b; var type = output.GetType(); Console.WriteLine($"Output Type :{type}"); Console.WriteLine($&q...

Many LINQ functions both operate on an IEnumerable<TSource> and also return an IEnumerable<TResult>. The type parameters TSource and TResult may or may not refer to the same type, depending on the method in question and any functions passed to it. A few examples of this are public stat...

string helloWorld = "hello world, how is it going?"; string[] parts1 = helloWorld.Split(','); //parts1: ["hello world", " how is it going?"] string[] parts2 = helloWorld.Split(' '); //parts2: ["hello", "world,", "how", "is&qu...

string HelloWorld = "Hello World"; HelloWorld.StartsWith("Hello"); // true HelloWorld.StartsWith("Foo"); // false Finding a string within a string Using the System.String.Contains you can find out if a particular string exists within a string. The method returns ...

String.Trim() string x = " Hello World! "; string y = x.Trim(); // "Hello World!" string q = "{(Hi!*"; string r = q.Trim( '(', '*', '{' ); // "Hi!" String.TrimStart() and String.TrimEnd() string q = "{(Hi*"; string r = q.TrimStart( '{...

The following is a bad idea because it would dispose the db variable before returning it. public IDBContext GetDBContext() { using (var db = new DBContext()) { return db; } } This can also create more subtle mistakes: public IEnumerable<Person> GetPeople(int age)...

Event declaration: public event EventHandler<EventArgsType> EventName; Event handler declaration using lambda operator => and subscribing to the event: EventName += (obj, eventArgs) => { /* Handler logic */ }; Event handler declaration using delegate anonymous method syntax: Eve...

Given an IObservable<Offer> of offers from merchants to buy or sell some type of item at a fixed price, we can match pairs of buyers and sellers as follows: var sellers = offers.Where(offer => offer.IsSell).Select(offer => offer.Merchant); var buyers = offers.Where(offer => offer.Is...

This code will subscribe to the emails observable twice: emails.Where(email => email.From == "John").Subscribe(email => Console.WriteLine("A")); emails.Where(email => email.From == "Mary").Subscribe(email => Console.WriteLine("B")); To share a...

If your model has private methods, the databinding library still allows you to access them in your view without using the full name of the method. Data model public class Item { private String name; public String getName() { return name; } } Layout XML <?xml versi...

For basic prototypes or basic command-line behavior, the following loop comes in handy. public class ExampleCli { private static final String CLI_LINE = "example-cli>"; //console like string private static final String CMD_QUIT = "quit"; //string for exit...

The String type provides two methods for converting strings between upper case and lower case: toUpperCase to convert all characters to upper case toLowerCase to convert all characters to lower case These methods both return the converted strings as new String instances: the original String o...

As you use generic types with utility classes, you may often find that number types aren't very helpful when specified as the object types, as they aren't equal to their primitive counterparts. List<Integer> ints = new ArrayList<Integer>(); Java SE 7 List<Integer> ints = new A...

A Pattern can be compiled with flags, if the regex is used as a literal String, use inline modifiers: Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("foo.", Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE | Pattern.DOTALL); pattern.matcher("FOO\n").matches(); // Is true. /* Had the regex not been compiled case...

String str = "My String"; System.out.println(str.charAt(0)); // "M" System.out.println(str.charAt(1)); // "y" System.out.println(str.charAt(2)); // " " System.out.println(str.charAt(str.length-1)); // Last character "g" To get the nth charac...
