A delegate is a type that represents references to methods with a particular parameter list and return type. When we instantiate a delegate, we can associate its instance with any method with a compatible signature and return type. We can invoke (or call) the method through the delegate instance.Func DelegateFunc is a generic delegate included in the System namespace. It has zero or more input parameters and one out parameter. The last parameter is considered as an out parameter. This delegate can point to a method that takes up to 16 Parameters and returns a value.Below is the Func delegate ... Read More

A string having number can be validated using int.TryParse or int.Parse.Int.Parse throws an exception if it cannot parse the string to an integer, whereas Int.TryParse returns a bool indicating whether it succeeded. Also, Int.TryParse has an out parameter which has the value of the parsed string.Example Live Demousing System; namespace DemoApplication {    class Program {       static void Main(string[] args) {          string numberString = "123";          int number = 0;          if(int.TryParse(numberString, out number)) {             Console.WriteLine($"Try Parse Interger Number: {number}");     ...

For creating a directory, we must first import the System.IO namespace in C#. The namespace is a library that allows you to access static methods for creating, copying, moving, and deleting directories.It is always recommended to check if the Directory exist before doing any file operation in C# because the complier will throw exception if the folder does not exist.Exampleusing System; using System.IO; namespace DemoApplication {    class Program {       static void Main(string[] args) {          string folderName = @"D:\Demo Folder";          // If directory does not exist, create it   ...

Deep copies duplicate everything. A deep copy of a collection is two collections with all of the elements in the original collection duplicatedDeep Copy is used to make a complete deep copy of the internal reference types.In another words a deep copy occurs when an object is copied along with the objects to which it refersExample Live Democlass DeepCopy {    public int a = 10; } class Program {    static void Main() {       //Deep Copy       DeepCopy d = new DeepCopy();       d.a = 10;       DeepCopy d1 = new ...

The Enum Flags is used to take an enumeration variable and allow it hold multiple values. It should be used whenever the enum represents a collection of flags, rather than representing a single valueUse the FlagsAttribute for an enumeration only if a bitwise operation (AND, OR, EXCLUSIVE OR) is to be performed on a numeric value.Define enumeration constants in powers of two, that is, 1, 2, 4, 8, and so on. This means the individual flags in combined enumeration constants do not overlap.Example Live Democlass Program {    [Flags]    enum SocialMediaFlags { None = 0, Facebook = 1, Twitter = ...

Singleton Pattern belongs to Creational type patternSingleton design pattern is used when we need to ensure that only one object of a particular class is Instantiated. That single instance created is responsible to coordinate actions across the application.As part of the Implementation guidelines we need to ensure that only one instance of the class exists by declaring all constructors of the class to be private. Also, to control the singleton access we need to provide a static property that returns a single instance of the object.ExampleSealed ensures the class being inherited and object instantiation is restricted in the derived classPrivate ...
