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 out what's going on. At first let's write a little...

One cool operators that C# offers us is ?? But before ?? we should know what does ? after variable type name. So, let's take both of these question marks and let's see what they are. Also let's jump for a while behind compilator to see IL code that compiler produces. Let's start with single question...

This blog entry is supposed to be the continuation for entry C# Extension Methods where I told what extension methods are and how to use them. This time I will tell about what they are behind the curtains. Do they really add new methods to current classes or not? I mean, are these methods really added...

"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 methods , partial classes, generics and so on. If...

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't have to define new type - we can create it on...
