Lambda expressions are anonymous functions that can be really helpful at times. Alike many other .NET methods, lambda expressions are not the only way to create the algorithm you want, however they may help you in writing code that is much easier to read than the old fashioned way. We are going to see what lambda expressions are and go through some basic applications.   Lambda calculus Even...

This time we are going to look into some interesting c# elements. That will be anonymous methods. Anonymous methods can help creating pieces of code organized as a method would but instead placing it right in the spot where you would call that method.   Anonymous methods   This article is where we talked about delegates.

Delegates

Delegates are a way to handle methods in a different way than we are used to. They comprise a basic part of the .Net architecture and are important in order to use technologies like lambda expressions. What is a delegate? A delegate is a reference type which can be used as a connection between that and the methods it is assigned. Think of it as a reference type for methods. In a...

Abstract classes and interfaces

Enter JSON

Date posted: 27.10.2013

In other words, how to exchange data between an html page and a server page depending on the requests...

Form Validation

Date posted: 26.08.2013

A form is quite a common element found scattered across web sites. In order to sign in or buy some stuff, we will most probably be presented a list of boxes we will have to fill in. If, however, by mistake you insert in English character within your telephone submission, you are likely to get a notice mentioning that a phone number is meant to contain nothing but numbers. Likewise, most data we...
