Hydrating Objects With Expression Trees - Part III

To finalize this series on object hydration, I’ll show some performance comparisons between the different methods of hydrating objects. For the purpose of this exercise, I’ll use this class: class SomeType { public int Id { get ; set ; } public string Name { get ; set ; } public DateTimeOffset CreationTime...

C# 4.0: COM Interop Improvements

Dynamic resolution as well as named and optional arguments greatly improve the experience of interoperating with COM APIs such as Office Automation Primary Interop Assemblies (PIAs) . But, in order to alleviate even more COM Interop development, a few COM -specific features were also added to C# 4.0...

C# 4.0: Dynamic Programming

The major feature of C# 4.0 is dynamic programming. Not just dynamic typing, but dynamic in broader sense, which means talking to anything that is not statically typed to be a .NET object. Dynamic Language Runtime The Dynamic Language Runtime ( DLR ) is piece of technology that unifies dynamic programming...

C# 4.0: Alternative To Optional Arguments

Like I mentioned in my last post , exposing publicly methods with optional arguments is a bad practice (that’s why C# has resisted to having it, until now). You might argument that your method or constructor has to many variants and having ten or more overloads is a maintenance nightmare, and you’re...

C# 4.0: Named And Optional Arguments

As part of the co-evolution effort of C# and Visual Basic , C# 4.0 introduces Named and Optional Arguments . First of all, let’s clarify what are arguments and parameters : Method definition parameters are the input variables of the method. Method call arguments are the values provided to the method...

C# 4.0: Covariance And Contravariance In Generics Made Easy

In my last post , I went through what is variance in .NET 4.0 and C# 4.0 in a rather theoretical way. Now, I’m going to try to make it a bit more down to earth. Given: class Base { } class Derived : Base { } Such that: Trace .Assert( typeof ( Base ).IsClass && typeof ( Derived ).IsClass &&...

C# 4.0: Covariance And Contravariance In Generics

C# 4.0 (and .NET 4.0) introduced covariance and contravariance to generic interfaces and delegates. But what is this variance thing? According to Wikipedia , in multilinear algebra and tensor analysis, covariance and contravariance describe how the quantitative description of certain geometrical or physical...
