The purpose of this article is to demystify delegates and help you gain some understanding about how different ways of using delegates relate to each other.

In my previous post I summarized Microsoft Language Integrated Query (LINQ). Briefly discussed about its components as well as showed some code examples to highlight the sql query type syntax it uses. When we talk about LINQ, we are talking about number of little features that were added in .net 3.0...

In this we’ll continue to discuss how to go about the SQL Server Data Access using various technologies. This post will discuss Microsoft Language Integrated Query, otherwise known as LINQ. I will discuss how it can be used to accomplish the same tasks we have discussed in previous posts. But before...

C# 4 introduced named and optional method parameters, which does a fine job of cleaning up method overloads. But a piece of the puzzle was left out. The params keyword could have been combined with named parameters to make it even stronger and address issues others have overcome by abusing other lan...

I was recently tasked with generating a string of averages based on a list of business objects. The business object has a string property called VehicleName and a decimal property called StandardMpg. The averages needed to be calculated per VehicleName, so this is to be what I group on.

So let’s get started, supposing you wish to compile a list of song titles separated by a comma, ordinarily you would for each loop them, then assign the comma as “, “ on the second iteration. Well, I wanted to get tricky of course...

This is a valid question. Before C# 3.0, you could use delegates or declare full methods to bind to events. Now we can declare event directly through lambda. Delegates is a keyword that can be used to declare inline methods. This inline code can be stored inside variables and then executed when nece...

Well I was thinking of an ill-tricky way to append a string to the beginning of each list item in ASP.NET MVC’s SelectList collection, tell me if this might help you...

Quick code snippet to remove some loops inside your code and increase visibility inside your methods.

I was once asked "What is the use of a delegate?". The main answer that I found was "to delay the call". Most people see delegate as events most of the time. However, they can be put to much greater use. Here is an example that I'll gladly share with you all.

The article tries to make an argument in favor of having support for introducing custom-logic with automatic properties in C#. It also shows a possible solution and asks for ideas for refinement.
