When working with applications, C# programmers will often need to store data in a persistent or non-persistent storage medium. Developers might also need to transmit data over the wire. The sender and the receiver process can be in the same application, different systems on the same network, or even other systems in networks spread across […]

Static classes and methods are an important part of the C# programming language. They provide a way to create and use class and method members without creating an instance of the class. This can be useful in a number of situations, such as when you need to create a utility class with methods that don’t […]

A delegate in C# is a type-safe function pointer that can point to one or more methods with compatible signatures. Here, the term compatible signature implies that the signature of the delegate – and the method it points to – are the same. A function signature consists of the function name, type and sequence of […]

One of the most striking C# programming language features is known as generics. Introduced in C# 2.0, it helps eliminate redundant code, enforce type safety, and promote code reusability and maintainability. It is most commonly known for its use in collections and constraints on generic types. You can use generics to define a class, method, […]

As a programmer is developing software, there will be times when you need to know how complex a method is. Maybe the code is not doing what it should be doing and you need to refactor it to understand why. Maybe it is taking too long to run and you want to see if simplifying […]

In this .NET programming tutorial, we will talk about how we can improve the performance of an application by optimizing string handling. We will also learn why benchmarking code is essential. Developer will further learn how to work with BenchmarkDotNet in the next post in this series, so be sure to check back often on […]

Operator overloading is a form of polymorphism in which operators can be redefined to perform different operations depending upon the types of their arguments. It is mainly used to perform operations on user-defined data types. For example, a programmer can use the same “+” operator to add two integers or combine two strings by just […]

In this C# programming tutorial, we will take a look at some of the most well-known code quality tools for C# developers, including NCrunch, CodeRush, StyleCopNDepend, and ReSharper/JetBrains. What is Static Code Analysis? Static Code Analysis is a process that automatically checks your code for conformance to predefined standards. Most often, this happens when developers […]

Caching is a useful technique to improve the performance of an application. Caching involves storing data in memory for quick access, which avoids expensive database queries, thus speeding up applications. This .NET programming tutorial talks about caching with reference to ASP.NET. What is Caching? Caching is a method that stores the page output or application […]

OWASP (Open web application security project) community defines specific standards that can help organizations build secure applications when followed. This article talks about the OWASP top 10 most critical web application security risks. What is OWASP? As businesses move their operations online, the number of potential web application security risks increases. While many of these […]

As developers, we live in an era of omnipresent cloud computing, which provides better agility, lower costs, improved scalability, and continuous access to resources. The growth of cloud computing has been exponential in recent times, leading us to think of better ways to leverage the various cloud offerings. Incidentally, cloud computing was invented in the […]

Collections in C# are used to store and retrieve data. You can take advantage of collections to dynamically allocate memory to store data, and then retrieve it using a key or index as and when required. It is important to understand that collections represent a collection of items that may be accessed by iterating over […]
