C# 4.0-an Intoduction

C# 4.0-an Intoduction

.Net Framework 4.0 is the buzzword currently.
In this section I'll provide some useful links to get you started with C# 4.0 and try to explore the following new introductions in C# 4.0

  • Biginteger
  • Complex
  • Optional parameters
  • Named parameters

.Net Framwork 4.0 has introduced two new types:
1.Biginteger
2.Complex
Biginteger

BigInteger Example:

BigInteger p = UInt64.MaxValue;
BigInteger q = UInt64.MaxValue;

BigInteger r = p * q;

BigInteger is immutable(as is the string in C#)
For Eamplew:
BigInteger p = 1;
p++;
will result in the creation of a second BigInteger object, assigning it back to a.


BigInteger has many static methods, such as the typical Parse(), TryParse(), and
ToString() methods (which support hex format as well) found in other integer types,
as well as mathematical helpers such as Pow(), Log(), Log10(), and others.

Complex

Newly added class(System.Numerics.Complex)can be used to represent imaginary numbers.
Complex wraps both the real and imaginary parts using doubles as the underlying
format.
For Example:

Complex a = new Complex(2, 1);
Complex b = new Complex(3, 2);


Optional parameters and Named parameters.


Optional parameters existed in VB.Net for long (so far as i know), however these were missing from C#.

The only option available for C# developers(and many a times really frustrating) was to use Overloading (change the number or

sequence or type of paramters).

However with .net framework 4.0(C# 4.0), it is now possible to use parameters as optional

Below written example will put some light in this context.

consider  a function that takes three paramteres

private string SomeMethod(string firstname, string lastname= "TestLAstName", int age = 10)
{
return firstname + " " + lastname;
}

The second and third parameters, lastname & age, both have default values. The only parameter required is firstname.

The method can be called as

string name = null;
name = SomeMethod("TestName");

That will return TestName TestLAstName.

OR the Method can be called as

string name = null;
name = SomeMethod("Pradeep", "Patel");

The value returned is Pradeep Patel.

When age need to passed try as following (Named Paramter)

string name = null;
name = SomeMethod("Suprotim", age: 20);


The above mentioned additions in C# 4.0 are real good additions that will definitely make the programming more fun.

Hope this was helpful!
Till next time we connect Happy Coding.

Asp.Net 4.0: An Overview-Part-III

This is the last post in the series which will explore the following new features of ASP.Net 4.0  Performance Monitoring for Individual Applications in a Single Worker Process Web.config File Refactoring Permanently Redirecting a Page Expanding the Range of Allowable URLs Performance Monitoring for Individual Applications in a Single Worker Process It is a common practice to host multiple ASP.NET applications in a single worker process, In order to increase the number of Web sites that can be hosted on a single server. This practice results in difficulties for server administrators to identify an individual application that is experiencing problems. ASP.NET 4 introduces new resource-monitoring functionality introduced by the CLR. To enable this functionality, following XML configuration snippet is added to the aspnet.config configuration file.(This file is located in the directory where the .NET Framework is installed ) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"

WCF-REST Services-Part-II

HOW REST is implemented in WCF Part-I of the series explored the REST conceptually and this post will explore how REST is implemented in WCF. For REST implementation in WCF, 2 new attributes namely WebGetAttribute and WebInvokeAttribute are introduced in WCF along with a URI template mechanism that enables you to declare the URI and verb to which each method is going to respond. The infrastructure comes in the form of a binding ( WebHttpBinding ) and a behavior ( WebHttpBehavior ) that provide the correct networking stack for using REST. Also, there is some hosting infrastructure help from a custom Service¬Host ( WebServiceHost ) and a ServiceHostFactory ( WebServiceHostFactory ). How WCF Routes messages WCF routes network messages to methods on instances of the classes defined as implementations of the service. Default behavior ( Dispatching ) for WCF is to do this routing based on the concept of action. For this dispatching to work, an action needs to be present in ev

SOLID principles -Code Samples and Free Ebook

I planned to write code samples for SOLID principle implementations, however I am a firm believer of " NOT RE-INVENTING THE WHEEL ", when all you need is use the wheels and make a new CAR. Going by the ideology, I have found an excellent  SOLID principles FREE -Ebook ( covering all aspects of SOLID design principles, with Code sample). This book is an excellent visual aid to remember these principles, as it uses Motivational posters for explaining SOLID design principles. One additional advantage to the above mentioned book is the Code-Refactoring ebook . Both of these books can be downloaded from this EBOOK download Link Both of these books can be downloaded form here. Hope this book proves useful... Till next we connect.... Happy Learning..
