C# 4.0

[L B]

Just thought I'd share the link: New Features in C# 4.0

 

Including optional parameters (will be useful for the C#LE wrapper):

public void Initialize(int width = 800, int height = 600, int depth = 32, int hertz = 60, int flags = (int)BufferType.Color) { ... }

 

Named parameters (useful for users)

Graphics.Initialize(1024, 768, hertz : 75);

 

Dynamic objects, with calls and methods calculated at runtime:

dynamic test = GetDynamicObject(...);
test.NotDefined(2);

 

Will work even though the type of "test" is not determined.

A Runtime Exception will be thrown if the method does not exist.

 

Looking forward to this new version

NET 4.0 rulez, it's a perfect enhancement to 3.5 where I really loved LINQ features for tens of code lines it saves to us (i.e. no more annoying foreach cycles to select items from collections).

It's kind of funny how the C# people generally think the VB.NET people are newbs (just in general not in this thread), but the first 2 features are something that VB.NET has had since it was created. It took 4 versions before C# got those. What is wrong with MS.

 

And dynamic objects is basically late binding, which I thought was already there?

Rick couldn't have said what I was going to type any better. I'm glad the newest C# users will be able to use these enhancements. Took MS long enough.
