Every method has a unique signature consisting of a accessor (public, private, ...) ,optional modifier (abstract), a name and if needed method parameters. Note, that the return type is not part of the signature. A method prototype looks like the following: AccessModifier OptionalModifier ReturnTyp...

A method can declare any number of parameters (in this example, i, s and o are the parameters): static void DoSomething(int i, string s, object o) { Console.WriteLine(String.Format("i={0}, s={1}, o={2}", i, s, o)); } Parameters can be used to pass values into a method, so that th...

You can use default parameters if you want to provide the option to leave out parameters: static void SaySomething(string what = "ehh") { Console.WriteLine(what); } static void Main() { // prints "hello" SaySomething("hello"); // prints &quot...

You can extend the functionality of existing yield methods by passing in one or more values or elements that could define a terminating condition within the function by calling a yield break to stop the inner loop from executing. public static IEnumerable<int> CountUntilAny(int start, HashSet...

An iterator method is not executed until the return value is enumerated. It's therefore advantageous to assert preconditions outside of the iterator. public static IEnumerable<int> Count(int start, int count) { // The exception will throw when the method is called, not when the result i...

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. ...

Declaring an Event You can declare an event on any class or struct using the following syntax: public class MyClass { // Declares the event for MyClass public event EventHandler MyEvent; // Raises the MyEvent event public void RaiseEvent() { OnMyEvent(); }...

SpeechRecognitionEngine recognitionEngine = new SpeechRecognitionEngine(); GrammarBuilder builder = new GrammarBuilder(); builder.Append(new Choices("I am", "You are", "He is", "She is", "We are", "They are")); builder.Append(new Choices...

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.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)...

var color = "Black"; var age = 4; var query = "Select * from Cats where Color = :Color and Age > :Age"; var dynamicParameters = new DynamicParameters(); dynamicParameters.Add("Color", color); dynamicParameters.Add("Age", age); using (var connectio...

Event declaration: public event EventHandler<EventArgsT> EventName; Event handler declaration: public void HandlerName(object sender, EventArgsT args) { /* Handler logic */ } Subscribing to the event: Dynamically: EventName += HandlerName; Through the Designer: Click the Events...

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...

Events can be of any delegate type, not just EventHandler and EventHandler<T>. For example: //Declaring an event public event Action<Param1Type, Param2Type, ...> EventName; This is used similarly to standard EventHandler events: //Adding a named event handler public void HandlerNa...

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...

using System.Linq.Expressions; // Create an expression tree. Expression<Func<int, bool>> exprTree = num => num < 5; // Decompose the expression tree. ParameterExpression param = (ParameterExpression)exprTree.Parameters[0]; BinaryExpression operation = (BinaryExpression)exp...

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...

The following program: class Program { static void Method(params Object[] objects) { System.Console.WriteLine(objects.Length); } static void Method(Object a, Object b) { System.Console.WriteLine("two"); } static void Main(string[] a...

The nameof operator allows you to get the name of a variable, type or member in string form without hard-coding it as a literal. The operation is evaluated at compile-time, which means that you can rename, using an IDE's rename feature, a referenced identifier and the name string will update with it...
