Some Examples Of How To Do Good Programming In C#

In this blog, you will see some examples of how to do good programming in C#.

There are multiple ways to write code - novice, intermediate, and ninja-level. Let's see some examples below and see how good coding practices can improve code performance as well. Based on the examples below, I urge each developer to review their codes at least once or twice to improve it.

 

Let us say we have a method.

private List<Data> getdata()
{
   return new List<Data>(); // Let us suppose this method returns 10000 rows of Data Object
}

Now, the coder is tasked to iterate over it.

for( i=0; i < getdata (); i++) { // }

The above method was written casually or it may be there wasn't much time to spend on it or perhaps the coder was new to programming.

 

After a review, it was changed to below,

var data=GetData();
for( i=0; i < data ; i++) { // }

The call to GetData() is reduced to one, and thus it increased performance overheads.

 

Let us take another good example, it involves if-else statements.

 

See code below,

if (IsolatedStorageWrapper.LoadString(“ShowTipsAndTricks”) == “”)
{
   IsolatedStorageWrapper.SaveString(“ShowTipsAndTricks”, “true”);
}
else
{
   IsolatedStorageWrapper.SaveString(“ShowTipsAndTricks”, “”);
}

After review,

IsolatedStorageWrapper.SaveString(“ShowTipsAndTricks”, IsolatedStorageWrapper.LoadString(“ShowTipsAndTricks”) == “” ? “true” : “”);

After another review,

var loadedStringValue=IsolatedStorageWrapper.LoadString(“ShowTipsAndTricks”) == “” ? “true” : “”;

IsolatedStorageWrapper.SaveString(“ShowTipsAndTricks”, loadedStringValue);

After another review,

var loadedStringValue = IsolatedStorageWrapper.LoadString( “ShowTipsAndTricks” ) == “” ? “true” : “”;
IsolatedStorageWrapper.SaveString( “ShowTipsAndTricks” , loadedStringValue );
