General Performance Tip: Constant vs Read-Only Property
It is recommended to use constants for static numerical or string values in code. This helps maintain code clarity and adhere to best practices. Benchmark tests show variables are slightly more performant than constants, but it is still advisable to use constants where appropriate to reflect the intent of the variable.
General Performance Tip: Generating Random Numbers
.NET's Random type has been a popular choice for generating random numbers. However, using RandomNumberGenerator for this purpose can result in a six-fold performance improvement, as shown in benchmark tests. Both methods allocate the same amount of memory.
Speed up Empty String Validation with Spargine
The article introduces two methods, IsEmpty() and IsNotEmpty(), for validating empty strings in Spargine, comparing them to the IsNullOrEmpty() method in .NET and emphasizing their straightforward usage and ability to handle null checks. Benchmark results reveal that IsEmpty() surpasses IsNullOrEmpty() in performance, exhibiting a 2.92 times faster execution speed.
Seamless Method Relocation: A Proposal for Visual Studio Refactoring
"Proposing a new refactoring feature for Visual Studio, this article suggests seamlessly relocating methods alongside associated code to new or existing classes. By automating this process, developers can streamline workflow, reduce manual effort, and enhance productivity."
Code It Any Way You Want: Performance of Out Variable Declaration
Starting with .NET 7, it's advised to use inline variable declarations for out parameters, enhancing performance and readability. This approach simplifies refactoring, limits variable scope, and can enable better compiler optimizations. Benchmarks indicate a 1.03x performance improvement, making code more maintainable and easier to understand.
Collection Performance: Using ForEachAsync() with List<>
The post demonstrates the usage of Parallel.ForEachAsync() with a List of reference types.
General Performance Tip: Enhanced Logging Approach
The article discusses advancements in logging techniques in .NET, particularly with the new source generator in .NET 6 that enhances performance using LoggerMessage. This new method improves logging efficiency by 11.25 times compared to previous approaches. It emphasizes the importance of extensive logging for issue resolution in code.
