Introduction Properties can be initialized with the = operator after the closing }. The Coordinate class below shows the available options for initializing a property: 6.0 public class Coordinate { public int X { get; set; } = 34; // get or set auto-property with initializer public ...

Index initializers make it possible to create and initialize objects with indexes at the same time. This makes initializing Dictionaries very easy: var dict = new Dictionary<string, int>() { ["foo"] = 34, ["bar"] = 42 }; Any object that has an indexed gette...

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); ...

It is possible to use await expression to apply await operator to Tasks or Task(Of TResult) in the catch and finally blocks in C#6. It was not possible to use the await expression in the catch and finally blocks in earlier versions due to compiler limitations. C#6 makes awaiting async tasks a lot e...

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 ...

Starting with C# 6, collections with indexers can be initialized by specifying the index to assign in square brackets, followed by an equals sign, followed by the value to assign. Dictionary Initialization An example of this syntax using a Dictionary: var dict = new Dictionary<string, int> ...

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...

Declaration: interface IMyGenericInterface<T1, T2, T3, ...> { ... } Usage (in inheritance): class ClassA<T1, T2, T3> : IMyGenericInterface<T1, T2, T3> { ... } class ClassB<T1, T2> : IMyGenericInterface<T1, T2, int> { ... } class ClassC<T1> : IMyGenericI...

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...

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

When an object graph is finalized, the order is the reverse of the construction. E.g. the super-type is finalized before the base-type as the following code demonstrates: class TheBaseClass { ~TheBaseClass() { Console.WriteLine("Base class finalized!"); } } ...

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); }

HttpClient is available through NuGet: Microsoft HTTP Client Libraries. string requestUri = "http://www.example.com"; string responseData; using (var client = new HttpClient()) { using(var response = client.GetAsync(requestUri).Result) { response.EnsureSuccessStatus...

string requestUri = "http://www.example.com"; string requestBodyString = "Request body string."; string contentType = "text/plain"; string requestMethod = "POST"; HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(requestUri) { Method = reque...

string requestUri = "http://www.example.com"; string requestBodyString = "Request body string."; string contentType = "text/plain"; string requestMethod = "POST"; byte[] responseBody; byte[] requestBodyBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(requestBodyS...
