So this is the start of a series of posts that will dive a little deeper into the new C# 3.0 features. My previous posts covered an overall view of what we were doing with the language as well as the Linq initiative, but didn't delve deep into the nitty...

FYI: There seems to be a problem with the blog software i'm using where i'm not getting notified about all posts that you guys are making. It's being actively investigated, and i'm hoping for a resolution soon. So if you're finding that i'm not responding...

In the last post i discussed a little bit of background on why we wanted to introduce Linq, as well as a bit of info on what some basic C# Linq looked like. In this post i'm going to dive in a little bit deeper to some other interesting things we're introducing...

I've been mulling over the best way to talk about the new C# 3.0 stuff we've been working on. I presented the post on how you could use the new C# 3.0 features to go beyond the basic query functionality we've been targetting it at. The was to help give...

If you've heard about the new C#/Linq work that got announced today, but don't know where to go to find it. Well, the awesome folks at MSDN have put up a great page that highlights what we're working on, as well as providing great links to our latest...

Can’t attend PDC but still want to talk to the C# team about what's coming up? This chat is your chance! Join the C# team to discuss the newly announced C# 3.0 features like: extension methods lambda expressions type inference anonymous...

The previous post ended up showing that while visitors are available in C#, they lack usability brought by built in language constructs they could have that would make them an ideal choice to solve our problem. In Java, we saw that anonymous inner classes...

So we left off on the previous post with the question of why we were using Java to work with our new token visitors. Can't visitors be used in C# as well? Well, yes. However, not necessarily as conveniently as with Java. How so? Well, let's take a look...

The previous post on this topic gave us a problem statement for us to look at. Specifically, how to design an internal structure that we want to be easily consumable from many different locations, while not weighing down the structure with any orthogonal...

One of the things we love doing around here is dicussing different design techniques for attacking problems in general and the work we do in specific. One of the very common conversations we have is simply how to structure internal data within the C#...

The PDC keynote is going to be in a few hours. And while i won't be there, i'm definitely going to be watching it live (to access it go here ). There's a lot i'm going to want to blog about at that point, but to help out my later posts i'm goign to start...
