Keyword var is cool thing we can use to make our code more readable for other programmers and why not - reviewers. But var can also be used to make our code difficult to understand. In this case, lte's say, we are overusing var. So, var is like wine ...
One cool feature of C# 3.0 is support of anonymous types. Let's suppose we have to create some data structure and we need this structure in one place in one method. This far we had to create a new private class or structure. With anonymous types we don...
"What will happen behind compiler?" is my favourite questsion when dealing with technical design and coding. There are many cool and powerful things we can use to be more productive, faster and better. We have automatic properties , extension...

Here is one example about how to bulletproof the loops. This example holds well for legacy code and - of course - for hurry-written-code (that might be the current one, unfortunately). One of the most dangerous things I've seen are pieces of code that...
When dealing with version numbers we often need to convert them to string and vice versa. There is lot of code where versions are handled manually in code. I don't know why. But I know for sure there is class called Version and I'm sure this class will...
I was listening one session on TechEd (night after long party, yeah) and I was thinking about automatic properties - are they really exact equivalent to usual properties? Something made me suspicious, so I opened my laptop at first free moment and checked...
