Last year’s summer, I posted some .NET/C#: some starting posts on the yield keyword and mentioned that async and await might be the most complicated compiler transform.
So here are some posts to learn more about async and await: Read the rest of this entry »

Via Best C# Article of October 2014 Nicolas Dorier – NBitcoin I learned that dthorpe (yes, that is indeed Danny Thorpe many people know him from the Delphi, C# and Google world) is active as Contributors to NicolasDorier/NBitcoin and on quite some Bitcoin related repositories.
When we met last summer, he was visiting the Bitcoin 2014 conference in Amsterdam. It is really good to see his activity, and I really hope his Opex.io venture (see his LinkedIn profile) will take off, as his ideas are sound.

Normally you would not want to use a reserved word as an identifier. But sometimes it can be very convenient, for instance for a code generator that wraps remoting calls or does ORM.
Both Delphi and C# have an escape for this:
The prefixes are to tell the compiler knows you really know what you are doing, and are using a reserved word as an identifier.
The cool thing: in the Run Time Type Information (Delphi) or Reflection (C# and VB.NET) you will see the names without the prefix.

Bosak posted an interesting piece of code on StackOverflow last year. His particular code was in C#, but it does not matter what kind of compiler you use:
Sometimes a compiler will complain about unreachable code, for instance when it thinks a function never returns a value.
But you know the program logic does.
Simple solution: When you have code that never should be reached: throw an appropriate exception.
public static int GetInt(int number)
{
int[] ints = new int[]{ 3, 7, 9, int.MaxValue };
foreach (int i in ints)
if (number <= i)
return i;
return int.MaxValue; //this should be unreachable code since the last int is int.MaxValue and number <= int.MaxValue is allways true so the above code will allways return
}
The last return could be replaced like this, as proposed by Matt Houser: Read the rest of this entry »

In case I need to export DocX in .NET again: DocX – Home which is also at github.com/WordDocX/DocX
(I did it both with Word Automation and OOXML, they were a pain).
