C#/.NET Little Wonders: String Padding and Trimming - Not Just for Spaces!
posted by BlackRabbitCoderBlackRabbitCoder 611 days, 18 minutes ago
Friday, September 23, 2011 12:00:30 AM GMT
I’m going to wrap up my little side excursion into the String class with just a quick post on two features we’ve probably all used from time to time, but with a little twist: padding and trimming. Yes, we’ve probably all padded strings with spaces and numbers with zeros before, or trimmed off extra spaces, but did you know these methods aren’t just confined to whitespace? (more)

C#/.NET Little Wonders: The String Remove() and Replace() Methods
posted by BlackRabbitCoderBlackRabbitCoder 618 days, 37 minutes ago

When manipulating string data, many times you want to either remove parts of a String or replace characters in a String. You can do this yourself, of course, by building a new String while manually inspecting each char in turn, but this gets to be a bit expensive and is less maintainable. Instead, there are two methods in the String class, ready to use, that let you do this easily: Remove() and Replace(). (more)

This post continues a series of Little Wonders in the BCL String class. Yes, we all work with strings in .NET daily, so perhaps you already know most of these. However, there are a lot of little fun things that the String class can do that often get overlooked. Today we are going to look at a pair of String method families to Split() and Join() string data.

I’m going to begin a series of Little Wonders in the BCL String class.  Yes, we all work with strings in .NET daily, so perhaps you already know most of these.  However, there are a lot of little fun things in the C# class that some folks newer to the language may be less aware of. This post takes a look at a version of the String constructor which lets you create strings of a repeated character easily and efficiently. (more)

C# Strings – Getting Started with Strings
published 699 days, 4 hours, 34 minutes ago posted by JudoJudo 703 days, 13 hours, 9 minutes ago

Working with strings is a very common task for most C# developers. The .NET Framework offers good variety of tools for working with strings, but care must be taken as there are several gotchas to trip up the beginner. The first thing to note about strings in .NET is that they are Reference Types. Reference types are live on the managed heap in .NET and so they are managed by the .NET Garbage Collector and unlike Value types they are not automatically destroyed when they are out of scope. Strings can b... (more)

Strings Are Immutable!

Working with strings is a common task in most apps but there are several ‘gotchas’ that can arise due to the immutable nature of a String in .NET. Immutable simply means that once created it doesn’t change. This seems strange at first since the value of a string variable can indeed be altered (more)

Maybe as an Extension Method
published 1056 days, 9 hours, 42 minutes ago posted by KodefuGuruKodefuGuru 1059 days, 10 hours, 12 minutes ago

A frequent question I received concerning the Maybe static class was “why didn’t you make extension methods?” I am a proponent of extension methods, so it would seem that I would prefer “42”.ToInt32() over Maybe.ToInt32(“42”). However, I immediately created a static class for this despite my previous criticisms of helper classes. Why? Semantics What does it mean when someone writes Request.QueryString[“index”].ToInt32()? It’s not obvious that ToInt32() returns a Nullable (more)

Sunday, March 21, 2010 8:10:55 PM GMT
We have already has string.IsNullOrEmpty() method to check whether the string is null or empty.Now with Microsoft.NET Framework 4.0 there is a new another method that is that is called string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace() which will also check whether string is having whitespaces or not with null and empty string.This method is help full where we can check string is having whitespace rather then its empty or null. It will return a true if a string is empty,null or its having whitespaces. Let’s create a simple ... (more)

Measure string size – the right way. - Yevgeni Frolov
published 1226 days, 11 hours, 23 minutes ago posted by yevgenifyevgenif 1228 days, 12 hours, 37 minutes ago
Friday, January 15, 2010 12:54:58 PM GMT Wednesday, January 13, 2010 11:41:24 AM GMT
Measure string size – the right way. Recently I needed to measure an exact size in memory for a string – asked a developer sitting next to me how would he do it. An answer was: “Take a string’s length multiply by 2(it’s a UTF-8 encoding) – you will get an exact size”. Well this answer was wrong… And the explanation is in a definition of UTF-8 encoding. Here is a quote from Wikipedia: UTF-8 (8-bitUCS/Unicode Transformation Format) is a variable-lengthcharacter encoding for Unicode. It is able to rep... (more)

Code clarity: String templates revisited

Sometimes I encounter a task - create some little template, that user can easily configure. Yeah, there are many powerful template engines, or you can use {0}, {1} placeholders, or even handwritten #Id#, #Name# placeholders. But this article describes yet another way - simple and descriptive string formatters such as in ASP.NET AJAX 4.0: {Id}, {Name}, {Login}. This placeholders reflects public properties or fields of an object. (more)
