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. Most of my time this week has been spent finishing the current iteration at work and updating a presentation for the Springfield DNUG, so today’s post will be a bit on the lighter side, but I wanted to continue my post series so I thought it would be a good time to quickly mention the ElementAt() and Last() LINQ extension methods. ......

Once again, in this series of posts I look at the parts of the .NET Framework that may seem trivial, but can really help improve your code by making it easier to write and maintain. Today we’re going to look at two more handy LINQ extension methods: the Any() and All() methods. These methods can help you examine an enumerable collection to determine if any, or all, of the items in the collection meet some logical condition. Any() – Checks for at least one match The Any() method is a LINQ extension ......

Today we're going to look at two LINQ extension methods that are both very similar and yet very different. Logically, First() and Single() serve similar purposes, but there is a subtle difference between these two that if you aren't expecting it may give you very different behaviors. First() - Retrieves the first occurrence ......
