The Sun Microsystems Java compiler requires that a source file name must match the only public class inside it, while C# allows multiple public classes in the same file, and puts no restrictions on the file name. C# 2.0 and later allows splitting a class definition into several files by using the partial keyword in the source code. In Java, a ...
Identifier names may be prefixed by an at sign (@), but this is insignificant; @name is the same identifier as name. Microsoft has published naming conventions for identifiers in C#, which recommends the use of PascalCase for the names of types and most type members, and camelCase for variables and for private or internal fields. [1]
As a precursor to the lambda functions introduced in C# 3.0, C#2.0 added anonymous delegates. These provide closure-like functionality to C#. [3] Code inside the body of an anonymous delegate has full read/write access to local variables, method parameters, and class members in scope of the delegate, excepting out and ref parameters. For example:-
Microsoft first used the name C# in 1988 for a variant of the C language designed for incremental compilation. [37] That project was not completed, and the name was later reused. C-sharp musical note. The name "C sharp" was inspired by the musical notation whereby a sharp symbol indicates that the written note should be made a semitone higher ...
C# naming conventions generally follow the guidelines published by Microsoft for all .NET languages [21] (see the .NET section, below), but no conventions are enforced by the C# compiler. The Microsoft guidelines recommend the exclusive use of only PascalCase and camelCase , with the latter used only for method parameter names and method-local ...
However, the compiler automatically transforms the code so that the list will "silently" receive objects, while the source code only mentions primitive values. For example, the programmer can now write list. add (3) and think as if the int 3 were added to the list; but, the compiler will have actually transformed the line into list. add (new ...
In computer programming, lazy initialization is the tactic of delaying the creation of an object, the calculation of a value, or some other expensive process until the first time it is needed.
The code name "Roslyn" was first written by Eric Lippert (a former Microsoft engineer [5]) in a post [6] that he published in 2010 to hire developers for a new project. He first said that the origin of the name was because of Roslyn, Washington, but later in the post he speaks ironically about the "northern exposure" of its office; the city of Roslyn was one of the places where the television ...
