C# 3.0 introduced object and collection initializers . It is now easier to initialize objects or collections: var person = new Person { FirstName = "Paulo" , LastName = "Morgado" }; var persons = new List < Person > { new Person { FirstName = "Paulo" , LastName = "Morgado"...

In the past I presented another possible use for the using keyword: as hints on LINQ . I’ve been giving some thought about this lately and refined my proposal. var q = from person in personCollection using MyEnumerableExtensions group person by person.LastName into g using new MyOtherComparer () orderby...
