C# Remove Duplicate Lines From Text File? – Stack Overflow

Posted by jpluimers on 2012/06/27

Recently I had to do a quick removal of duplicate lines in bunch of text files.

A quick search revealed that back in 2009, John Skeet came to the rescue with a couple of examples (:

Jon Skeet and Tony the Pony on Vimeo

This is from 2009, but still sooooo funny.

Lets use these 2 thumbs as parity bits.
I should have done this with pounds and pounds.
Why doesn’t John Skeet does never sleep.
No, you can’t have Visual Studio … yes telepathy is fine.

And more great quotes, sample code and experiences (like the Turkey Test) in this wonderful presentation by Jon Skeet and the famous Tony the Pony

Hilarious, and true :)

c# – List of new features in C#2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 – Stack Overflow

Posted by jpluimers on 2011/04/12

When maintaining software, you can’t always use the latest versions of your tools and languages.

Since C# has added a lot since version 1, it is handy to know what changed in which version.

Of course nothing beets the (paper and electronic!) editions of C# in Depth (covering C# 1, 2 and 3) and C# in Depth second edition (covering C# 2, 3 and 4).

Those books are thick (they need to, there is a truckload to cover!).
(The publisher (Manning) actually did a very good job on the e-book versions. Highly recommended, as it makes searching stuff so much easier).

The answers to the c# – List of new features in C#2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 Stack Overflow question contains a few concise lists of major changes in the language.

I really like the Bluffer’s Guide to C# 2, and the Bluffer’s Guide to C# 3 that Jon Skeet mentioned in his answer (and wish he wrote a Bluffer’s Guide to C# 4 as well), as they focus on some essential stuff in a very concise way.

If you want more detailed info, start with these stackoverflow questions:

Since stackoverflow wasn’t there when C# 2 was introduced in 2005, start with this nice C# 2 overview article on CSharpCorner.

Note: contrary to popular belief, there is no C# 3.5. There is .NET 3.5 (adding LINQ) and .NET 3.0 (adding WPF, WCF and WF) all based on the C# 3.0 and CLR 2 SP1 features.
(Yes, some expression tree features don’t work on CLR2 RTM, as that one has a few bugs, see Jared’s comment on this answer).
