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.
