Where do you benefit from dynamic typing?

Disclaimer: I don't want this to become a flame war in the comments. I'm coming from a position of ignorance, and well aware of it. While I'd like this post to provoke thought , it's not meant to be provocative in the common use of the term. Chapter 14 of C# in Depth is about dynamic...

Contract classes and nested types within interfaces

I've just been going through some feedback for the draft copy of the second edition of C# in Depth. In the contracts section, I have an example like this: [ContractClass( typeof (ICaseConverterContracts))] public interface ICaseConverter { string Convert( string text); ...

Generic collections - relegate to an appendix?

(I tweeted a brief version of this suggestion and the results have been overwhelmingly positive so far, but I thought it would be worth fleshing out anyway.) I'm currently editing chapter 3 of C# in Depth. In the first edition, it's nearly 48 pages long - the longest in the book, and longer than...

Recent activities

It's been a little while since I've blogged, and quite a lot has been going on. In fact, there are a few things I'd have blogged about already if it weren't for "things" getting in the way. Rather than writing a whole series of very short blog posts, I thought I'd wrap them...

The "dream book" for C# and .NET

This morning I showed my hand a little on Twitter . I've had a dream for a long time about the ultimate C# book. It's a dream based on Effective Java , which is my favourite Java book, along with my experiences of writing C# in Depth. Effective Java is written by Josh Bloch, who is an absolute...

Tricky decisions... Code Contracts and Parallel Extensions in C# in Depth 2nd edition

I'd like some feedback from readers, and I suspect my blog is the simplest way to get it. I'm currently writing chapter 15 of C# in Depth, tentatively about Code Contracts and Parallel Extensions. The problem is that I'm 15 pages in, and I haven't finished Code Contracts yet. I suspect...

Faking COM to fool the C# compiler

C# 4 has some great features to make programming against COM components bearable fun and exciting. In particular: PIA linking allows you to embed just the relevant bits of the Primary Interop Assembly into your own assembly, so the PIA isn't actually required at execution time Named arguments and...

Dynamic type inference and surprising possibilities

There have been mutterings about the fact that I haven't been blogging much recently. I've been getting down to serious work on the second edition of C# in Depth, and it's taking a lot of my time. However, I thought I'd share a ghastly little example I've just come up with. I've...

RFC: C# in Depth 2nd edition, proposed changes and additions

As I've mentioned in passing before now, I've started working on the 2nd edition of C# in Depth, to roughly coincide with the release of C# 4 and Visual Studio 2010. So far I've just been thinking about what should be added and what should be changed or removed. That's what I'd like...

Why boxing doesn't keep me awake at nights

I'm currently reading the (generally excellent) CLR via C# , and I've recently hit the section on boxing. Why is it that authors feel they have to scaremonger about the effects boxing can have on performance? Here's a piece of code from the book: using System; public sealed class Program...
