public class LivingBeing { string Name { get; set; } } public interface IAnimal { bool HasHair { get; set; } } public interface INoiseMaker { string MakeNoise(); } //Note that in C#, the base class name must come before the interface names public class Cat : LivingBei...

To make a class support collection initializers, it must implement IEnumerable interface and have at least one Add method. Since C# 6, any collection implementing IEnumerable can be extended with custom Add methods using extension methods. class Program { static void Main() { va...

// assign string from a string literal string s = "hello"; // assign string from an array of characters char[] chars = new char[] { 'h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o' }; string s = new string(chars, 0, chars.Length); // assign string from a char pointer, derived from a string string s; uns...

Click the menus Tools -> NuGet Package Manager -> Package Manager Console to show the console in your IDE. Official documentation here. Here you can issue, amongst others, install-package commands which installs the entered package into the currently selected "Default project": Ins...

// Translates to `dict.Add(1, "First")` etc. var dict = new Dictionary<int, string>() { { 1, "First" }, { 2, "Second" }, { 3, "Third" } }; // Translates to `dict[1] = "First"` etc. // Works in C# 6.0. var dict = new Dicti...

public async Task<JobResult> GetDataFromWebAsync() { var nextJob = await _database.GetNextJobAsync(); var response = await _httpClient.GetAsync(nextJob.Uri); var pageContents = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync(); return await _database.SaveJobResultAsync(pageContents); } ...

public delegate int ModifyInt(int input); ModifyInt multiplyByTwo = x => x * 2; The above Lambda expression syntax is equivalent to the following verbose code: public delegate int ModifyInt(int input); ModifyInt multiplyByTwo = delegate(int x){ return x * 2; };

class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { // Create 2 thread objects. We're using delegates because we need to pass // parameters to the threads. var thread1 = new Thread(new ThreadStart(() => PerformAction(1))); var thread2 = new Thread(...

Notes: This example must be run in administrative mode. Only one simultaneous client is supported. For simplicity, filenames are assumed to be all ASCII (for the filename part in the Content-Disposition header) and file access errors are not handled. using System; using System.IO; using Syst...

Starting from a new Settings class and custom configuration section: Add an application setting named ExampleTimeout, using the time System.Timespan, and set the value to 1 minute: Save the Project Properties, which saves the Settings tab entries, as well as re-generates the custom Settings cl...

var collection = new BlockingCollection<int>(5); var random = new Random(); var producerTask = Task.Run(() => { for(int item=1; item<=10; item++) { collection.Add(item); Console.WriteLine("Produced: " + item); Thread.Sleep(random.Next(1...

var tasks = Enumerable.Range(1, 5).Select(n => new Task<int>(() => { Console.WriteLine("I'm task " + n); return n; })).ToArray(); foreach(var task in tasks) task.Start(); Task.WaitAll(tasks); foreach(var task in tasks) Console.WriteLine(task.Result); ...

var actions = Enumerable.Range(1, 10).Select(n => new Action(() => { Console.WriteLine("I'm task " + n); if((n & 1) == 0) throw new Exception("Exception from task " + n); })).ToArray(); try { Parallel.Invoke(actions); } catch(AggregateExc...

The yield keyword is used to define a function which returns an IEnumerable or IEnumerator (as well as their derived generic variants) whose values are generated lazily as a caller iterates over the returned collection. Read more about the purpose in the remarks section. The following example has a...

class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { // Run 2 Tasks. var task1 = Task.Run(() => PerformAction(1))); var task2 = Task.Run(() => PerformAction(2))); // Wait (i.e. block this thread) until both Tasks are complete. Task.WaitA...

1 - Create an empty folder, it will contain the files created in the next steps. 2 - Create a file named project.json with the following content (adjust the port number and rootDirectory as appropriate): { "dependencies": { "Microsoft.AspNet.Server.Kestrel": "1.0.0...

Use parentheses around the expression to the left of the => operator to indicate multiple parameters. delegate int ModifyInt(int input1, int input2); ModifyInt multiplyTwoInts = (x,y) => x * y; Similarly, an empty set of parentheses indicates that the function does not accept parameters. ...

Unlike an expression lambda, a statement lambda can contain multiple statements separated by semicolons. delegate void ModifyInt(int input); ModifyInt addOneAndTellMe = x => { int result = x + 1; Console.WriteLine(result); }; Note that the statements are enclosed in braces {}. ...

For null values: Nullable<int> i = null; Or: int? i = null; Or: var i = (int?)null; For non-null values: Nullable<int> i = 0; Or: int? i = 0;

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...
