Articles

I've been writing articles about C# for a while now, some unrelated to C# in Depth as a book, and others that go into topics described in the book, but in greater detail.

Additionally, I'm gradually migrating articles here from my original C# home page.

• Implementing the singleton pattern in C#
• C# and the beforefieldinit flag
• Binary floating point in .NET
• Decimal floating point in .NET
• Strings in C# and .NET
• Unicode and .NET
• Debugging Unicode Problems
• Overloading
• Versions - more information on the difference between versions of C#
• Specifications - links to download every version of the C# specification I can find
• Delegates and Events
• Closures - why they're important, and what they look like in C# and Java
• Iterator block implementation details - what the C# compiler does to build auto-generated state machines for us
• Ranges - design and implementation of a simple range class
• Why properties matter - and why you should (almost) never make fields non-private
• Iterators, iterator blocks and data pipelines
• Random numbers - issues to be aware of when using System.Random
• "Gotchas" - potentially unexpected traps in dynamic binding
• Summing a sequence dynamically
