Use SequenceEqual(). It compares two arrays element by element and returns true when they hold equal values in the same order, which is what "the same array" almost always means. ==, Equals(), and ReferenceEquals() do something different: they ask whether two...
In this article, we are going to look at how to use optional parameters in ASP.NET Core Web API routing. Additionally, we are going to learn how to use optional parameters with route constraints. To download the source code for this article, you can...
When we need to work with time in C# we use the DateTime type. DateTime values have two components, as easily inferred from the name - a date part and a time part. Since in some cases we might need only one part out of the two, in this article we're going to learn how...
In this article, we are going to look into Health Checks in ASP.NET Core. Then we are going to look into the Health Checks Middleware provided by ASP.NET Core to create some checks and add a nice dashboard to view all our Health Checks. Finally, we will briefly look...
A frequent question in .NET interviews is about operations using arrays. In this article, we are going to learn how to sum up elements of an array in C#. After studying the different techniques, we are going to build a performance benchmark and check which one is the...
In this article, we are going to explore how to use variables inside strings in C#. There are a few ways to accomplish that, depending on the C# version being used. To download the source code for this article, you can visit our GitHub...
Merge sort in C# is one of the algorithms that we can use to sort elements. Merge Sort is known to be efficient as it uses the "divide and conquer" strategy that we are going to discuss as we implement it. To download the source code for this...
Serializing and deserializing JSON objects are an important part of all software engineer routines. In this article, we will learn different techniques about how to deserialize a complex JSON object in C# and check, with a performance benchmark, which is the fastest...
In this article, we are going to describe the types of inheritance in C# and their use in various scenarios. Let's dive in. What is Inheritance in C#? The...
In this article, we are going to look at different ways to remove elements from a generic list while iterating through it. If we try simply to do a test and...
Queue in C# is a very useful collection for the data which we need to handle with first-in, first-out order. In this article, we are going to cover the main concepts of Queues in C#. To download the source code for this article, you can visit our...
In this article, we are going to take a look at what's new in C# 10. .NET 6 supports the latest C# version, and to use it in our projects, we will need the latest .NET 6 SDK or Visual Studio 2022 which includes the SDK. To download the source code...
Oftentimes, we find ourselves with a chunk of data in a byte array that needs to be stored in a file. This is usually for the sake of storage or for further processing. Let's consider a few different ways to convert a byte array to a file. To...
In this article, we are going to learn how to add parameters to a string in C# in a few different ways. Let's start Using String.Format() Method Firstly, we can...
In this article, we are going to talk about array slicing in C#. We are going to explore different ways to slice an array in C# with some examples. Let's start....
MassTransit is a message-bus framework for .NET. It sits between our code and a broker such as RabbitMQ, so we publish a typed message and implement IConsumer<T> to receive it, and the exchanges, queues, and bindings are created for us. That abstraction is the...
Custom attributes in .NET (Core) are a helpful mechanism to attach additional information to classes, structs, and even their members. In this article, we're going to explain how to create, access, and get the information from custom attributes in .NET through some...
In this article, we are going to learn about unit testing with NUnit in C# through examples. Testing is one of the essential parts of the software development cycle, and there are many different test types. We'll concentrate our attention on programmatic tests, such...
In this article, we are going to talk about how to convert string to int in C#. Int is an alias of Int32, and defines an integer number in range from -2,147,483,648 to +2,147,483,647. Setting a value of an int variable that is out of this range, will produce a "System...
Sorting arrays is quite a common problem in programming. The bubble sort algorithm is simple to implement as it involves comparing adjacent elements and swapping them when they are in the wrong order. We are going to learn how Bubble Sort in C# works. [sc...
