Dear developer friends, I wanted to share with you a book that particularly amazed me. This book teaches you LINQ like you never have before and all in just 35 pages. I present to you Steven Giesel‘s book “LINQ Explained with sketches”. 

در صورتیکه مقداری را به عنوان پیش فرض، به پارامتر این متد ارسال نکنید، مقدار پیش فرض آن از نوع استفاده شده بدست می‌آید.

شما می‌توانید برای دیکشنری نیز یک متد Get امن ایجاد کنید (در صورت عدم وجود کلید، بجای پرتاب استثناء، مقدار پیش فرض بازگشت داده شود).

public static class DictionaryExtensions
{
    public static TValue GetValueOrDefault< TKey, TValue >( this Dictionary< TKey, TValue > dic,
                                                            TKey key )
    {
        TValue result;
        return dic.TryGetValue( key,
                                out result )
            ? result
            : default(TValue);
    }
}

و روش استفاده

var names = new Dictionary< int, string >
            {
                { 0, "Vahid" }
            };
Console.WriteLine( names.GetValueOrDefault( 1 ) );

ZipFile in .NET

var startPath = Path.Combine( Environment.GetFolderPath( Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop ), "Start" );
var resultPath = Path.Combine( Environment.GetFolderPath( Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop ), "Result" );
var extractPath = Path.Combine( Environment.GetFolderPath( Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop ), "Extract" );
Directory.CreateDirectory( startPath );
Directory.CreateDirectory( resultPath );
Directory.CreateDirectory( extractPath );

var zipPath = Path.Combine( resultPath, Guid.NewGuid() + ".zip" );
ZipFile.CreateFromDirectory( startPath, zipPath );
ZipFile.ExtractToDirectory( zipPath, extractPath );

    Console.WriteLine("Normal line #1."); // Set break point here.

static unsafe void Fibonacci()

    const int arraySize = 20;
    int* fib = stackalloc int[arraySize];
    var p = fib;
    *p++ = *p++ = 1;

    for ( var i = 2; i < arraySize; ++i, ++p )
    {
        *p = p[-1] + p[-2];
    }

    for ( var i = 0; i < arraySize; ++i )
    {
        System.Console.WriteLine( fib[i] );
