Microsoft .NET Code Analysis: Boosting  Performance with Span and Memory

The excerpt discusses the .NET MemoryExtensions class, which optimizes performance in byte array manipulation by offering allocation-free methods for converting to Memory, ReadOnlyMemory, Span, and ReadOnlySpan.

Microsoft .NET Code Analysis: When CountAsync() Outperforms AnyAsync() in .NET

The article critiques code analysis rule CA1828 in Microsoft .NET, which suggests using AnyAsync() over CountAsync() for checking item existence in IQueryable collections. Benchmark results indicate CountAsync() outperforms both AnyAsync() and LongCountAsync(), pointing to potential inefficiencies in following CA1828. The author recommends adjusting rule severity to optimize performance.

Microsoft .NET Code Analysis: Creating Empty Arrays

Arrays are popular in .NET for their efficiency. The .NET team recommends avoiding zero-length allocations, opting instead for Array.Empty() or using the [] expression for creating empty arrays. The latter is faster than both new string[0] and Array.Empty(), marking a shift in performance standards in recent .NET versions.

Unlock Performance Gains in .NET: The Power of Custom Comparers

This article highlights the importance of custom comparers in .NET for enhancing application performance when sorting and ordering collections. It discusses the flexibility and control that custom comparers offer over default comparers and provides examples of creating them. Benchmarks also illustrate the performance benefits, while cautioning that custom comparers may introduce overhead in certain scenarios.
