C#/.NET Little Wonders: Searching Strings With Contains(), StartsWith(), EndsWith(), and IndexOf()
Once again, in this series of posts I look at the parts of the .NET Framework that may seem trivial, but can help improve your code by making it easier to write and maintain. The index of all my past little wonders post can be found here. Two weeks ago I decided to stop my Little Wonders in the String class, but I recanted and decided to do one more before wrapping up String. So today we’ll look at ways to find a out if a given source String has a target String inside of it (and where). IndexOf()...

The index of all my past little wonders post can be found here. 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....

C# 5.0 And Beyond: Upper/Lower Case Format Specifiers
So, I thought of another thing I’d like in my wish list of features I’d love to see in C# 5.0 and beyond.

That is, let’s say you are building a distributed cache key that takes as part of the key the host name, but sometimes you may get the same host name in upper, lower, or mixed case on your distributed cache provider is case sensitive in its comparison and you have no control over that....

C#/.NET Five More Little Wonders That Make Code Better (2 of 3)
So last week I began my series with a post (here) on those little wonders in .NET/C# -- those small tips and tricks that make code either more concise, maintainable, or performant. This is the second of my three-part series, though there are so many things that make .NET (and in particular C#) a great development platform that I'm sure I could carry this blog on ad infinitum. Once again, many of these are ones you may already know, but hopefully some of you will find something new or be reminded...
