  • New (to me) threading paradigms

    In the last couple of days, I've been reading up on CSPs (Communicating Sequential Processes) and the Microsoft Research project CCR (Concurrency and Coordination Runtime). I suspect that the latter is really a new look at the former, but I don't have enough experience with either of them to tell. Now...

  • System.Random (and java.util.Random)

    This is as much a "before you forget about it" post as anything else. Both Java and .NET have Random classes, which allow you to get random numbers within a certain range etc. Unless you specify otherwise, both are seeded with the current time. Neither class claims to be thread-safe. This presents a...

  • FYI: System.Web.Mail is deprecated use System.Net.Mail

    While we are on the topic of System.Web.Mail , it is important to note a new namespace in version 2.0 of the .NET Framework. There is a brand new namespace for sending mail via managed code, it is called System.Net.Mail . Have no fear, System.Web.Mail is still accessible in v2.0 but it is deprecated...

  • Code formatter online

    I've finally got round to doing it... the code I use for posting code for articles etc has now been transformed into a small ASP.NET app . It's based on a VB.NET article . I converted it from VB.NET to C# using Instant C# (which worked very well - just a few gotchas, far fewer than last time I tried...

  • CLI spec mistake with unboxing and enums

    When looking over someone's test code the other day, I happened to notice he was unboxing a boxed enum to an int. I was mildly surprised that he was able to do so - I thought you could only ever unbox to the exact value type that was "in the box". Naturally, I consulted the spec. The C# spec is relatively...

Below is a collection of blogs of authors whose books we have read and blogs of people who make the technology. I spent some time to find out such information and post it so that it will be useful...

  • Book idea

    Having just glanced at the clock, now is the ideal time to post about an idea I had a little while ago - a book (or blog, or something) about C# (or maybe C# and Java) which I'd only write between midnight and one in the morning. It would contain only those things which seemed like really good ideas...

  • Corner cases in Java and C#

    Every language has a few interesting corner cases - bits of surprising behaviour which can catch you out if you're unlucky. I'm not talking about the kind of thing that all developers should really be aware of - the inefficiencies of repeatedly concatenating strings, etc. I'm talking about things which...

  • A short case study in LINQ efficiency

    I've been thinking a bit about how I'd use LINQ in real life (leaving DLinq and XLinq alone for the moment). One of the examples I came up with is a fairly common one - trying to find the element in a collection which has the maximum value for a certain property. Note that quite often I don't...

  • Nasty generics restrictions

    So, I caved and finally downloaded the LINQ preview. Obviously it's fairly heavily genericised (if that's even a word) and I decided to push it a little. Nothing particularly heavy - just an interesting bit of functional programming. It's easy to do a query which returns a string property from an object...

  • Improvement to extension method syntax

    I'm blogging this before my sleep-deprived mind (3 hours in the last 33, and I'm getting up for the day in an hour or so) loses it. One of the things I don't like about the proposed extension methods is the way the compiler is made aware of them - on a namespace basis. "Using" directives are very common...

  • LINQ, DLinq, XLinq and C# 3.0

    Some readers may already be aware of Project LINQ - .NET Language Integrated Query. There have been various posts about it (and in particular the effect it has on C# itself) on the C# newsgroup, and many of those have involved a certain amount of speculation. This is understandable, as it's still...

    Consider the following code snippet // Declare the reader. SqlDataReader reader = null; // Use the reader here. try { // Create the reader. reader = new SqlDataReader(...); // Use the reader. } catch { } finally { // Check the reader for null.

  • How many threads does a typical managed process have when it just starts to run?

    Source: Yun Jin's blog at http://blogs.msdn.com/yunjin Answer: regardless how many threads the user creates, there are at least 3 threads for a common managed process after CLR starts up: a main thread which starts CLR and run user's Main method, CLR debugger helper thread which provides debugging service...
