Dynamic and Object C# type aliases


C# alias bool byte char decimal double float int long object sbyte short string uint ulong ushort .NET class System.Boolean System.Byte System.Char System.Decimal System.Double System.Single System.Int32 System.Int64 System.Object System.SByte System.Int16 System.String System.UInt32 System.UInt64 System.UInt16

In C# 4.0, the dynamic keyword allows you work with objects whose type is only known at run-time. In certain cases, it works differently than the general object type. Operation Definitions 1: Types at runtime Working with types Definitions 2: Example dynamic d = 123; object o = 123; MessageBox.Show(d.GetType().FullName); MessageBox.Show(o.GetType().FullName); int i = d + 10; int i = (int)o + 10; private void Test(int param) { MessageBox.Show(param.ToString()); } Test(d); Test((int)o); d.MyMethod(); o.MyMethod(); d.MyMethod(); o.MyMethod(); must cast to an int compiles fails at compile-time runtime exception n/a Notes assignment to a type returns System.Int32 returns System.Int32 must cast to an int

Data types (all value types unless specified)


Signed integral types sbyte (8 bits, -128..127) short (16 bits) int (32 bits) long (64 bits) byte (8 bits, 0..255) ushort (16 bits) uint (32 bits, nonCLS) ulong (64 bits) float (32 bits) double (64 bits) decimal (128 bits) float f = 123.45f; double d = 123.45d; decimal m = 123.45m; z = checked(x+y); z = unchecked(x+y); bool char string struct enum class, interface, delegate, object, string

Regular Expressions

Formatting strings
Format string Definitions for numeric values: c or C (currency) d or D (decimal; optional precision can be given as in "d8") Example double d = 123.45; int i = 123; string.Format("{0:c}", d); string.Format("{0:c}", i)); string.Format("{0:d8}", d); string.Format("{0:d8}", i));

Test if input string matches Replace unwanted characters

Unsigned integral types

Floating-point types (IEEE) High-precision Real value literals (default = double; lowercase or uppercase OK) Overflow checking (default is on) Boolean Character and strings Structure Enumeration Reference types

e or E (scientific [exponential]) string.Format("{0:e}", d); string.Format("{0:e}", i)); f or F (fixed-point; optional precision can be given as in "f1") string.Format("{0:f1}", d); string.Format("{0:f1}", i));

Common character escapes

g or G (general; optional preci- string.Format("{0:g}", d); sion can be given as in "g5") string.Format("{0:g}", i)); n or N (number) x or X (hexadecimal; x = lowercase, X = uppercase) string.Format("{0:n}", d); string.Format("{0:n}", i)); "string.Format("{0:x}", d); string.Format("{0:x}", i)); string.Format({0:X}, i));

Common quantifiers

Miscellaneous
Verbatim strings with the @ character string path = "C:\\Path\\File.txt""; string path = @"C:\Path\File.txt";

Operator Precedence
C# operators have equal precedence within a group. Operator group Primary Operator examples x.y // member access x(y) // method access x++ // post increment typeof(x) // type retrieval new X() // object creation +x -x !x ~x ++x x*y x/y x%y x+y x-y x<<y x>>y x<y x>y x is y x as y x==y x!=y x&y x^y x|y x && y x || y x ?? y x?y:z x=y x += y x *= y x => y // lambda Contextual keywords

Language Keywords
The following keywords have been defined for the C# language. An identifier can have the name of a keyword if it is prefixed with the @ sign: @readonly. Group Keywords Words abstract as base bool break byte case catch char checked class const continue decimal default delegate do double else enum event explicit extern false finally fixed float for foreach goto if implicit in int interface internal is lock long namespace new null object operator out override params private protected public readonly ref return sbyte sealed short sizeof stackalloc static string struct switch this throw true try typeof uint ulong unchecked unsafe ushort using virtual void volatile while get set var

Strings and Readers


Convert string to a TextReader by using a StringReader (StringReader descends from the TextReader abstract class) using System.IO; ... string s = ABCD...; StringReader reader = new StringReader(s); // example use: using System.Xml.XPath; ... XPathDocument doc = new XPathDocument(reader); using System.IO; string filename = @C:\Path\File.dat; string data = File.ReadAllText(filename);

Any reference type Class T2, if T2 descends from T1 Interface I2, if T1 is not sealed and T1 does not implement I2
