4. Improvements in Auto-Properties
Initializers for Auto-Properties
public class Person
{
private string firstName = "Jane"
private string lastName = "Doe";
public string FirstName
{
get { return firstName; }
set { firstName = value; }
}
public string LastName
{
get { return lastName; }
set { lastName = value; }
}
}

5. Improvements in Auto-Properties
Initializers for Auto-Properties
public class Person
{
public string FirstName { get; set; } = "Jane";
public string LastName { get; set; } = "Doe";
}
C# 6

6. Improvements in Auto-Properties
Read-Only Auto-Properties
public class Person
{
private readonly string firstName = "Jane";
private readonly string lastName = "Doe";
public string FirstName
{
get { return firstName; }
}
public string LastName
{
get { return lastName; }
}
// ...
public Person(string first, string last)
{
firstName = first;
lastName = last;
}
}

7. Improvements in Auto-Properties
Read-Only Auto-Properties
public class Person
{
public string FirstName { get; } = "Jane";
public string LastName { get; } = "Doe";
// ...
public Person(string first, string last)
{
FirstName = first;
LastName = last;
}
}
C# 6

8. Expression Bodied Function Members
Expression Bodied Method-Like Function Members
public Point Move(int dx, int dy)
{
return new Point(x + dx, y + dy);
}
public static Complex operator +(Complex a, Complex b)
{
return a.Add(b);
}
public static implicit operator string(Person p)
{
return p.First + " " + p.Last;
}

9. Expression Bodied Function Members
Expression Bodied Method-Like Function Members
public Point Move(int dx, int dy) => new Point(x + dx, y + dy);
public static Complex operator +(Complex a, Complex b) => a.Add(b);
public static implicit operator string (Person p) => p.First + " " + p.Last;
C# 6

10. Expression Bodied Function Members
Expression Bodied Property-Like Function Members
public string Name
{
get { return First + " " + Last; }
}
public Person this[long id]
{
get { return store.LookupPerson(id); }
}

11. Expression Bodied Function Members
Expression Bodied Property-Like Function Members
public string Name => First + " " + Last;
public Person this[long id] => store.LookupPerson(id);
C# 6

12. The 'using static' Directive
using System;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
Console.WriteLine(Math.Sqrt(3 * 3 + 4 * 4));
Console.WriteLine(DayOfWeek.Friday - DayOfWeek.Monday);
}
}

13. The 'using static' Directive
using static System.Console;
using static System.Math;
using static System.DayOfWeek;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
WriteLine(Sqrt(3 * 3 + 4 * 4));
WriteLine(Friday - Monday);
}
}
C# 6

14. The 'using static' Directive
Extension Methods
using static System.Linq.Enumerable; // The type, not the namespace
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
var range = Range(5, 17); // Ok: not extension
var odd = Where(range, i => i % 2 == 1); // Error, not in scope
var even = range.Where(i => i % 2 == 0); // Ok
}
}
C# 6

15. Null-Conditional Operator
Property and Method Invocation
int? nullable = (people != null) ? new int?(people.Length) : null;
Person person = (people != null) ? people[0] : null;
int? first = (people != null) ? people[0].Orders.Count() : (int?)null;

16. Null-Conditional Operator
Property and Method Invocation
int? length = people?.Length; // null if people is null
Person first = people?[0]; // null if people is null
int length = people?.Length ?? 0; // 0 if people is null
int? first = people?[0].Orders.Count();
C# 6

17. Null-Conditional Operator
Delegate Invocation
var handler = PropertyChanged;
if (handler != null)
{
handler(this, args);
}

18. Null-Conditional Operator
Delegate Invocation
PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, args);
C# 6

19. String Interpolation
string.Format("{0} is {1} year{{s}} old.", p.Name, p.Age)

20. String Interpolation
$"{p.Name} tem {p.Age} ano{{s}}."
$"{p.Name,20} tem {p.Age:D3} ano{{s}}."
$"{p.Name} tem {p.Age} ano{(p.Age == 1 ? "" : "s")}."
C# 6

21. String Interpolation
Formattable Strings
IFormattable christmas = $"{new DateTime(2015, 12, 25):f}";
var christamasText =
christmas.ToString(string.Empty, new CultureInfo("pt-PT"));
C# 6

22. String Interpolation
Formattable Strings
FormattableStringFactory.Create("{0:f}", new DateTime(2015, 12, 25))
public abstract class FormattableString : IFormattable
{
protected FormattableString();
public abstract int ArgumentCount { get; }
public abstract string Format { get; }
public static string Invariant(FormattableString formattable);
public abstract object GetArgument(int index);
public abstract object[] GetArguments();
public override string ToString();
public abstract string ToString(IFormatProvider formatProvider);
}
.NET 4.6 or highier
C# 6

23. String Interpolation
Formattable Strings
FormattableString christmas = $"{new DateTime(2015, 12, 25):f}";
var christamasText = christmas.ToString(new CultureInfo("pt-PT"));
C# 6

24. String Interpolation
Formattable Strings
public static IDbCommand CreateCommand(
this IDbConnection connection,
FormattableString commandText)
{
var command = connection.CreateCommand();
command.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
if (commandText.ArgumentCount > 0)
{
var commandTextArguments = new string[commandText.ArgumentCount];
for (var i = 0; i < commandText.ArgumentCount; i++)
{
commandTextArguments[i] = "@p" + i.ToString();
var p = command.CreateParameter();
p.ParameterName = commandTextArguments[i];
p.Value = commandText.GetArgument(i);
command.Parameters.Add(p);
}
command.CommandText = string.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture,
commandText.Format,
commandTextArguments);
}
else
{
command.CommandText = commandText.Format;
}
return command;
}
var id = 10;
var nome = "Luis";
IDbConnection cnn = new SqlConnection();
var cmd = cnn.CreateCommand(
$"insert into test (id, nome) values({id}, {nome})");
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
C# 6

25. 'nameof' Expressions
void M1(string x)
{
if (x == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("x");
var s = "ZipCode";
}

26. 'nameof' Expressions
void M1(string x)
{
if (x == null) throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(x));
var s = nameof(Person.Address.ZipCode);
}
C# 6

27. 'nameof' Expressions
Source Code vs. Metadata
using S = System.String;
void M<T>(S s)
{
var s1 = nameof(T);
var s2 = nameof(S);
}
using S = System.String;
void M<T>(S s)
{
var s1 = "T";
var s2 = "S";
}
C# 6

28. Collection Initializers
'Add' Extension Methods
public class C<T> : IEnumerable<T>
{
// ...
}
public static class Cx
{
public static void Add<T>(this C<T> c, T i)
{
// ...
}
}
var cs = new C<int>();
cs.Add(1);
cs.Add(2);
cs.Add(3);

29. Collection Initializers
'Add' Extension Methods
public class C<T> : IEnumerable<T>
{
// ...
}
public static class Cx
{
public static void Add<T>(this C<T> c, T i)
{
// ...
}
}
var cs = new C<int> { 1, 2, 3 };
C# 6

30. Index Initializers
var numbers = new Dictionary<int, string>();
numbers[7] = "sete";
numbers[9] = "nove";
numbers[13] = "treze";

31. Index Initializers
var numbers = new Dictionary<int, string>
{
[7] = "sete",
[9] = "nove",
[13] = "treze"
};
C# 6

32. Exception Filters
try
{
//...
}
catch (SqlException ex) when (ex.Number == 2)
{
// ...
}
catch (SqlException ex)
{
// ...
}
Exectued in the context of
the throw, not the catch.
C# 6

33. 'await' in 'catch' and 'finally' blocks
async Task M()
{
Resource res = null;
Exception ex = null;
try
{
res = await Resource.OpenAsync();
}
catch (ResourceException e)
{
ex = e;
}
if (ex != null) await Resource.LogAsync(res, e);
if (res != null) await res.CloseAsync();
}

34. 'await' in 'catch' and 'finally' blocks
async Task M()
{
Resource res = null;
try
{
res = await Resource.OpenAsync();
}
catch (ResourceException e)
{
await Resource.LogAsync(res, e);
}
finally
{
if (res != null) await res.CloseAsync();
}
}

35. C# Interactive
