DateTime
C# is a wonderful language for modern programming. While everything in C# has a reason and a place, occasionally there are things that can be confusing for a developer who isn’t aware of what is happening behind the scenes. This is another post in the Little Pitfalls series where I explore these issues; an index of the Little Wonders and Little Pitfalls posts is here. This week will be a short post since I’m travelling to Denver for design meetings, and otherwise spending most of my free time celebrating ...
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. A while back I talked about some goodies in DateTime, mostly the properties that let you split out just the date or time. This week, I wanted to look at a couple more methods of the DateTime struct that give you additional control over parsing an input string into ...
Once again lets dive into the Little Wonders of .NET, those small things in the .NET languages and BCL classes that make development easier by increasing readability, maintainability, or performance. Today I’m going to focus a bit on the System.DateTime. This nice little value type (struct) has been in the BCL since the beginning, and while being broadly used to represent an instance of a date and time, there are many great properties, methods, and operators in this class that perhaps folks are less ...
We all have those little wonders in our .NET code, those small tips and tricks that make code just that much more concise, maintainable, or performant. Many of you probably already know of some of these, but many folks either overlook them or just don't know about them, so this article is a refresher. I'm planning on making this a three-part series encompassing 15 little wonders that I had thought of, though I'm very curious to hear the little wonders you can think of as well. Update: Part 2 is now ...
