Things coming up or that I'd like to see in the future of technology
Sorry folks, I totally intended to write a new Little Wonders of C# 6 post this week, but have been ill. I fully intend to continue next week with a new puzzler and a new Little Wonder.
Thanks!

Hey folks, I won’t be posting a new Little Wonders of C# 6 post (you can see my previous posts here) this week. I’ve been preparing a presentation for the St. Louis .NET User Group about all the new C# 6 goodness. If you’ve enjoyed these posts and are in the St. Louis area on April 27th, feel free to pop in and have a listen! I’ll be covering some new wonders I haven’t had a chance to blog about yet. For more information, go to the St. Louis .NET User Group site here. Hope to see you there! Stay ......
Once again, in this series of posts I look at the parts of the .NET Framework that may seem trivial, but can help improve your code by making it easier to write and maintain. The index of all my past little wonders posts can be found here. Visual Studio 2015 is on the horizon! In fact, some of you may already have played with the preview and seen some of the many neat new things to come – both in the IDE and in the C# language. For those who haven’t been keeping up with the announcements, I’m taking ......

I wanted to repost the index of all the Little Wonders and Little Pitfalls posts and presentations so that they would be readily visible for anyone new to these series. I also linked in my C#/.NET Fundamentals presentation "Of Lambdas and Linq", a short primer for those just starting with LINQ and lambda expressions. The Original C#/.NET Little Wonders Trilogy C#/.NET Five Little Wonders (part 1) C#/.NET Five More Little Wonders (part 2) C#/.NET Five Final Little Wonders (part 3) The C#/.NET Little ......

So, I thought of another thing I’d like in my wish list of features I’d love to see in C# 5.0 and beyond. I’d like a format specifier to put the upper or lower case converted format argument into a formatted string. That is, let’s say you are building a distributed cache key that takes as part of the key the host name, but sometimes you may get the same host name in upper, lower, or mixed case on your distributed cache provider is case sensitive in its comparison and you have no control over that. ......
I apologize in advance to those waiting for part 2 of the Windows Services post I did last week. I will have a follow-up post next week, this week at work has just been crazy and I haven’t had as much time to devote to the code examples as I’d like to polish it. So instead I thought I’d throw a quick post out on what I’d like to see in the future versions of C#. A lot of folks are posting things they would like to see in C# 5.0 and beyond. There’s a great list on Stack Overflow (here) and a great ......
