C# 6.0–Expression Bodied Members

This blog post is part of C# 6.0 Features Series.

There are lots of great features added to C# 6.0 and Expression bodied members are one of them. It’s provide great syntax sugar which will help you make your code more beautiful and readable.  In earlier versions of C# type definitions were always been tedious and we need to provide a curly braces and return type even if that function contains one single line. Expression bodied function will help you in such scenarios.

Let’s take a example to understand it. Following is a code to understand it.

using System;

namespace ExpressionBodiedMemebers
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Person person = new Person
            {
                FirstName = "Jalpesh",
                LastName = "Vadgama"
            };
            Console.WriteLine(person.GetFullName());
        }
    }

    public class Person
    {
        public string FirstName { get; set; }
        public string LastName { get; set; }

        public string GetFullName()
        {
            return string.Format("{FirstName} {LastName}");
        }
    }
}

Understanding KRE,KVM,KLR and KPM in ASP.NET 5(vNext)

ASP.NET 5(vNext) is a new upcoming version of ASP.NET that Microsoft has redesigned from the scratch. Recently Microsoft has released Visual Studio 2015 Preview and with that they have released ASP.NET VNext.  In ASP.NET 5 (vNext) it comes with new runtime environment called KRE(K Runtime Environment) . With this version you can also run your application through command prompt using various commands. In this blog post we are going to learn about all terms related K Runtime Environment.

KVM(K Version Manager):

K version manager is one of the first thing you need to run command . KVM is responsible for installing and updating different version of KRE. It’s a PowerShell script used to get and manage multiple version of KRE being it on same time on same machine. So one application can now have one version of KRE and another application can have another version of KRE on same time. You can find more information at https://github.com/aspnet/Home/wiki/version-manager

Assembly Neutral Interface in ASP.NET 5(vNext)

CodeProject
Recently Microsoft has open sourced it’s entire ASP.NET next version stack on GitHub and I have been closely watching this for a quite a some time to understand how they have created architecture of it and how they organize everything in such a large stack.

I have seen  [AssemblyNeutral] attribute in few of interfaces and I was curious why it was required. So I dig into it and learned about it.

Why we need Assembly Neutral Interfaces?

In earlier version of ASP.NET and Microsoft.NET Interfaces are bind to a assembly where it is declared. Let’s say I have written a interface under DotNetJalps namespace for my framework.

namespace DotNetJalps
{
    public interface ILogger
    {
        DoAmazingStuff();
    }
}

Now after some time this framework is super popular and everybody loves abstraction I have created and now they wants same abstraction so there are two ways we can do this.

1. Convenience me to write this abstraction.
2. Write implementation themself and maintain that.

C# 6.0–String Interpolation

This blog post is part of C# 6.0 Features Series.

As we all know, C# 6.0 provides lots of small enhancements to the language and string interpolation is one of them. In this blog post we are going to learn how this small new feature can help us for string concatenation.

So let’s take small example, Where I have created a new example of string concatenation. Following is a code for that.

using System;
namespace StringInterpolation
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string name = "Jalpesh Vadgama";

            //Old way of string concentaionation 
            Console.WriteLine("My name is" + name);
            Console.WriteLine("My name is {0}", name);

            //New way of doing this
            Console.WriteLine("My name is {name}");
        }
    }
}

C# 6.0–Exception Filters

This blog post is part of C# 6.0 Features Series.

C# 6.0 contains lots of small features and one of them is Exception filters. It is already there with VB.NET earlier but now it is available in C# also. In exception filters now if exception is combined with Exception statement and If condition of if satisfy then it will execute that block.

Let’s take a simple example to understand it better. Following is a code for a simple console application. Before exception filters we were able to write a code like following.

using System;

namespace ExceptionFilters
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            try
            {
                throw new Exception("Jalpesh");
            }

            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                if(ex.Message =="Jalpesh")
                    Console.WriteLine("Exception with Message Jalpesh is executed");
                else
                    Console.WriteLine("Exception with Message DotNetJalps executed");
            }
        }
    }
}

In above example, I have thrown a exception in try block and in catch block I have written if-else block to check message and based on that it will print some method.
