Regions) Also, you’ll note I capitalized it in the same was as your querystring. Edit Note that ASP.NET now allows you to define default parameters. E.g.: public ActionResult Index(string Country, int Regions … Read more
There is one subtle difference between these two, which can be seen in the IL code – putting an explicit static constructor tells the C# compiler not to mark the type as beforefieldinit. The beforefieldinit affects when the type initializer is run and knowing about this is useful when writing lazy singletons in C#, for … Read more
