Paul Kimmel spent some time over the summer chatting with me about More Effective C# , LINQ, upcoming C# features, and the process of writing books. It's live here: http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1237069
Last week, I recorded a DNR TV with Carl Franklin discussing C# 3.0 extension methods, local type inference and some of the best practices that revolve around those parts of the languages. It's up and live now. Check it out here .
Patrick posted his solution earlier this week. I figure it was time to add mine. Also, Octavio Hernandez pointed out in the comments to problem 8 that he had discussed similar code constructs in his blog a while back. Problem 10 asks for the sum of all...
I was going to wait a bit to post this, but Patrick Steele posted his solution , so I figured I should post mine. Patrick took the straight out brute force approach. I decided to think a bit differently and use the some LINQ code to generate my answer...
I received this question in email from one of my readers, and I thought it would be of general interest: I find myself with two arrays of the same size and I want to create a third that combines each element. What I want is something similar to var S3...
Well, I'm back from the MVP Summit, and it seems that tradition mandates a summary of the trip. But there is one problem: The best content was all under NDA. Most MVPs spend their time with members of the product team for their award, and other teams...
Euler Problem six asks you to find the difference between the sum of squares and the square of the sum for the natural numbers 1 through 100. I took the easy route, and made a brute force implementation in C#. There are a couple new bits of LINQ syntax...
I've had some comments on the Euler problems, so I'm assuming there is some interest. There's also been interest among other developers in our office. Darrell Hawley has started solving the problems in Python. Marina Fedner has started solving...
If you're like me, you understand new language features better when you see what the new language features generate for you. Closures in C# are no different. There's quite a bit that goes on under the covers in a C# closure. Looking at all the...
As I finish my talk preparation for CodeMash, I'm putting together my schedule. You can view the silverlight page here: http://codemash.org/sessionscheduler/?1=2&2=28&3=4&4=7&5=3&7=42&8=14 However, that doesn't let me annotate...
I try to do more original writing here than posting links, but this is too good not to reference. http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=358968 Brian Beckman is one of my favorite experts from Channel 9. He's a real rocket scientist, but that's...
Toward the bottom of the LINQ to SQL samples is a set called "advanced". I'm not sure I like that title, because "Advanced" really should read "Things you just haven't done yet". The first set of samples gives you...
Toward the bottom of the LINQ to SQL samples, you'll find several methods discussing the DataContext class. This is an important class that provides the interface between your code and the physical database storage. There are also some convenient...
This year, I've had two sessions accepted for Code Mash: Real World C# 3.0 Now that the release of Visual Studio 2008 is imminent, it’s time to look at how these new features will make you more productive. New toys are great, but this session will...
I received a question regarding my May column for Visual Studio Magazine. That column showed how you can use anonymous delegates to treat code as data. The example wrote a series of delegates and methods that enabled XML serialization to files, memory...
