I recommend you use an extension method: public static DateTime TrimMilliseconds(this DateTime dt) { return new DateTime(dt.Year, dt.Month, dt.Day, dt.Hour, dt.Minute, dt.Second, 0, dt.Kind); } then its just: if (dtOrig.TrimMilliseconds() == dtNew.TrimMilliseconds())
As others have already mentioned, the getters are inlined. If you want to avoid inlining, you have to replace the automatic properties with manual ones: class A { private double p; public double P { get { return p; } set { p = value; } } } and tell the compiler not to inline … Read more
Shouldn’t be tough to verify: class Program { static void Main() { Task .Factory .StartNew(() => Console.WriteLine(Thread.CurrentThread.IsBackground)) .Wait(); } } And the answer is … ǝnɹʇ
You can use FileVersionInfo.FileVersion to fetch this from a path. var versionInfo = FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(pathToExe); string version = versionInfo.FileVersion; // Will typically return “1.0.0.0” in your case
As of the C# 2.0 compiler, there is very little point to String.Empty anyway, and in fact in many cases it’s a pessimisation, since the compiler can inline some references to “” but can’t do the same with String.Empty. In C# 1.1 it was useful to avoid creating lots of independent objects all containing the … Read more
I’d consider the following: Do you need your code to be used from languages which don’t support optional parameters? If so, consider including the overloads. Do you have any members on your team who violently oppose optional parameters? (Sometimes it’s easier to live with a decision you don’t like than to argue the case.) Are … Read more
Use String.PadLeft like this: var result = input.ToString().PadLeft(length, ‘0’);
That’s the point – it is more convenient not to make a custom class or struct all the time. It is an improvement like Action or Func… you can make this types yourself, but it’s convenient that they exist in the framework.
I am pretty sure this is a compiler bug. Nice find! Edit: it is not a bug, as Quartermeister demonstrates; dynamic might implement a weird true operator which might cause y to never be initialized. Here’s a minimal repro: class Program { static bool M(out int x) { x = 123; return true; } static … Read more
To expand on Jon’s answer, the reason this doesn’t work is because in regular, non-dynamic code extension methods work by doing a full search of all the classes known to the compiler for a static class that has an extension method that matches. The search goes in order based on the namespace nesting and available … Read more
