• C#: The Party Just Started

  Calvin Austin wrote an article C#: Is The Party Over? for JDJ. This article has a lot of misleading and wrong information. What can be expected from an article for a Java magazine? Contrary on that, in my opinion the party just started ;-) C# 2.0 has... Posted Aug 20 2005, 05:55 PM by CNagel with | with 4 comment(s) Filed under: Language

• Nullable Types change the runtime

  With Visual Studio 2005, the CTP August 2005 has new runtime features for Nullable types. Nullable types had unexpected behavior with boxing to Object (null is lost).

• C++/CLI, IDisposable and Finalize

  With Beta 2, C++/CLI changed the code that is generated with the destructor (~Class) and the explicit finalize (!Class). It's a great improvement! Now the Dispose(true) pattern for embedded objects is implemented with this code that just contains a destructor...

• Predicates with .NET 2.0

  In a previous blog entry I've shown the transformation of the Accumulate method from a traditional implementation to a generic implementation where the action is passed. This was the result of the last version that does something to every object in a... Posted Mar 10 2005, 10:06 AM by CNagel with | with 4 comment(s) Filed under: Technology, Language

• Generic Methods

  Following my blog about Generic Delegates and Anonymous Methods , here is more: Generics and anonymous methods can make code a lot more flexible.

• Generic Delegates and Anonymous Methods

  Generics and anonymous methods are great improvements of C#.

• C++/CLI Value Types and Memory Location

  With C++/CLI value types can be put on the stack, or on the native or managed heaps. value class MyData { property int Simple; }; Declaring the variable locally, the object is put on the stack. MyData d1; d1.Simple = 11; Using the pointer syntax, the... Posted Feb 28 2005, 02:05 PM by CNagel with | with 1 comment(s) Filed under: Technology, Language

• Dispose and Finalize with C++/CLI, C# and VB

  Depending on the .NET language more or less of implementing resource management with the interface IDisposable and the finalizer is hidden. Interestingly, with VB nothing is hidden - however all the code is created automatically with Visual Studio 2005...
