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...

<Foo> <Dog/> </Foo> public class Foo { // Using XmlElement [XmlElement(Name="Dog")] public Animal Cat { get; set; } }

<Store> <Articles> <Product/> <Product/> </Articles> </Store> public class Store { [XmlArray("Articles")] public List<Product> Products {get; set; } }

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...

The finally { ... } block of a try-finally or try-catch-finally will always execute, regardless of whether an exception occurred or not (except when a StackOverflowException has been thrown or call has been made to Environment.FailFast()). It can be utilized to free or clean up resources acquired i...

var persons = new[] { new {Id = 1, Name = "Foo"}, new {Id = 2, Name = "Bar"}, new {Id = 3, Name = "Fizz"}, new {Id = 4, Name = "Buzz"} }; var personsSortedByNameDescending = persons.OrderByDescending(p => p.Name); Console.WriteL...

var numbers = new[] {1,2,3,4,5}; Console.WriteLine(numbers.Contains(3)); //True Console.WriteLine(numbers.Contains(34)); //False
