A few .NET 2.0 life simplifiers...

Tuesday, November 29, 2005

I'm starting to realize that not everyone knows everything or watches every blog in the cosmos, so I'll start including blog entires which will help people very efficiently master .NET 2.0 and WinFX.

One thing that will help people who currently fight with .NET 1.x is the following video I saw earlier this month. It's an explanation of some of the life simplifiers in .NET 2.0.

One of my favorites they talk about is is the addition of a Contains( ) method for things. Now instead of typeing "string".IndexOf("str") > -1, we can use Contains( ). My next favorite thing...well, about a tie, would be the additions of the String.IsNullOrEmpty(string) method to replace if(myString == null || myString.Length < 1). Nice...

Ok so here's the video...
