Hey, I'm Steven a .NET Developer in Switzerland. I am a Microsoft MVP. Also, this blog is open source on GitHub.
When we are passing objects around we can do this either via reference or by value. Which of those two methods is faster?
To answer this question we have to dive into a bit of info about what happens exactly when you pass something around and how the other side will receive this.
In this blog post we discover how we can mutate a ReadOnlyCollection to have more or less entries than its original state. Readonly does not mean it is immutable. Also we will check out the ImmutableArray.
Is declaring a number or string as public const considered bad practice? Let's have a look what a const variable means in the first place.
Let's find out and also check what are the alternatives.
This short blog post will show you how to utilize Bootstrap to create a small and reuseable ModalDialogComponent.
In this blog post I will show you 4 different ways of creating an array and how they differ from each other.
There are multiple ways to create a new struct, either via var myStruct = default(MyStruct) or via var myStruct = new MyStruct(); . Are there any differences?
This blog post will show you how to setup, from scratch, your GitHub repository so you can in a matter of a single click:
Therefore we will build a "template" repository you can take as a foundation.
C# knows struct since its down of time. But there are also recent additions like readonly struct, record struct and ref struct.
This article will show what are the differences between those 4.
.NET ships a nice StringBuilder since the dawn of time or at least since the beginning of the framework itself. The intention is simple: If we need to concatenate a lot of strings we can't rely on the + operator as we introduce a lot of unnecessary allocations plus it is slow!
That is where the StringBuilder jumps into the picture.
Why is that? Why is the StringBuilder better? And can we do better? Spoiler: Yes!
In our Blazor components we often call a repository or web API which takes some time. So it is nice to indicate to an user what the current state is. That is why we will create a small indicator even with steps to indicate how far we are in the progress.
