You are allowed to create and throw exceptions in your own code. Instantiating an exception is done the same way that any other C# object. Exception ex = new Exception(); // constructor with an overload that takes a message string Exception ex = new Exception("Error message"); Yo...

// 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...

In order to be able to manage your projects' packages, you need the NuGet Package Manager. This is a Visual Studio Extension, explained in the official docs: Installing and Updating NuGet Client. Starting with Visual Studio 2012, NuGet is included in every edition, and can be used from: Tools ->...

When you right-click a project (or its References folder), you can click the "Manage NuGet Packages..." option. This shows the Package Manager Dialog.

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...

Assemblies are the building block of any Common Language Runtime (CLR) application. Every type you define, together with its methods, properties and their bytecode, is compiled and packaged inside an Assembly. using System.Reflection; Assembly assembly = this.GetType().Assembly; Assembl...

List<int> l2 = l1.FindAll(x => x > 6); Here x => x > 6 is a lambda expression acting as a predicate that makes sure that only elements above 6 are returned.

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); } ...

When you want to catch an exception and do something, but you can't continue execution of the current block of code because of the exception, you may want to rethrow the exception to the next exception handler in the call stack. There are good ways and bad ways to do this. private static void AskTh...

public class Person { //Id property can be read by other classes, but only set by the Person class public int Id {get; private set;} //Name property can be retrieved or assigned public string Name {get; set;} private DateTime dob; //Date of Birth property is st...

Setters are used to assign values to properties. string name; public string Name { set { this.name = value; } }

class Program { public static void Main(string[] args) { Person aPerson = new Person("Ann Xena Sample", new DateTime(1984, 10, 22)); //example of accessing properties (Id, Name & DOB) Console.WriteLine("Id is: \t{0}\nName is:\t'{1}'.\nDOB is...

public class Model { public string Name { get; set; } public bool? Selected { get; set; } } Here we have a Class with no constructor with two properties: Name and a nullable boolean property Selected. If we wanted to initialize a List<Model>, there are a few different ways to ex...

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(...

var now = DateTime.UtcNow; //accesses member of a class. In this case the UtcNow property.
