By now this
should be out of [WayBack] Draft – .NET Glossary Diagram – Scott Hanselman: a list of common terms to describe various parts of the .NET ecosystem.
He has a nice list of sentences where each term is used.
I’ll try to use them myself as well, so I gave it a start at paulcbetts/refit: The automatic type-safe REST library for Xamarin and .NET.

I have seen this happen in various environments: people wanting to detect if their debugger is present, but trying to detect their IDE, or vice versa.
Similar reasoning is for detecting for being running on a console, or your project having been built to run on a console.
People use these decisions, for instance to determine if their application should behave as a service, or as a regular process.
Ways to determine the various permutation points:
IsDebuggerPresent function (which can be true, even if Delphi DebugHook stays zero).TAppBuilder Window class with the [WayBack] FindWindow function.IsConsole, for .NET I could not find good information.Related links:

This is so cool: [WayBack] paulcbetts/refit: The automatic type-safe REST library for Xamarin and .NET. It’s inspired by Square’s [WayBack] Retrofit library which does the same for Java.
They basically allow you to use attributes on interfaces to define a type-safe wrapper around any REST interface, then instantiate a connection to it for making calls.
No more manual HttpClient fiddling!
Since it requires only .NET 1.4, you can basically run it on any platform as it’s supported covered by the implementations .NET Core, Mono and the full .NET Framework.
Quite a lot of projects already use it; I got there via the first link:

The list below is based on a G+ discussion in a single language, but has way broader aspects.
It’s on value types, mutability, parameterless constructors and expectations of compiled code.
I’ve bitten myself in the foot with mutable types in too many languages too often, so I started advocating this years ago at clients, and now in this blog-post.
TL;DR:

A search for empty “Reference.cs” – Google Search seems to indicate this happens with referenced types that – despite turning off that option – from the Visual Studio 2017 IDE sometimes results in an empty Reference.cs.
My solution: import in an empty project, then move the reference to the existing project and add it.
