C# 7 and .NET Core Cookbook

New Features in C# 7.0

In this first chapter, we will take a look at the C# 7.0 features by covering them in the following recipes:

  • Working with Tuples - getting started
  • Working with Tuples - going deeper
  • Pattern matching
  • Out variables
  • Deconstruction
  • Local functions
  • Improvements to literals
  • Ref returns and locals
  • Generalized async return types
  • Expression bodies for accessors, constructors, and finalizers
  • throw expressions

Introduction

C# 7.0 brings a lot of new functionality to the C# language. If you were left wanting more after the release of C# 6.0, then C# 7.0 will not disappoint you at all. It focuses on consuming data, simplifying code, and improving performance. Mads Torgersen who is the C# Program Manager noted that C# 7.0's biggest feature by far is Tuples. The other is pattern matching. These two features (as well as the others) were met with enthusiasm from C# developers worldwide. It is, therefore, no guess that developers will immediately start implementing these new features introduced in C# 7.0. It will, therefore, be very beneficial to get to grips with what C# 7.0 has to offer and implement the new language features in your development projects as soon as possible.

Throughout this book, I will be using the release candidate of Visual Studio 2017. Some features and methods of doing things might change between the time of writing and the final release of Visual Studio 2017.

Key benefits

  • Easy-to-follow recipes to get you up-and-running with the new features of C# 7 and .NET Core 1.1
  • Practical solutions to assist you with microservices and serverless computing in C#
  • Explore the new Visual Studio environment and write more secure code in it

Description

C# has recently been open-sourced and C# 7 comes with a host of new features for building powerful, cross-platform applications. This book will be your solution to some common programming problems that you come across with C# and will also help you get started with .NET Core 1.1. Through a recipe-based approach, this book will help you overcome common programming challenges and get your applications ready to face the modern world. We start by running you through new features in C# 7, such as tuples, pattern matching, and so on, giving you hands-on experience with them. Moving forward, you will work with generics and the OOP features in C#. You will then move on to more advanced topics, such as reactive extensions, Regex, code analyzers, and asynchronous programming. This book will also cover new, cross-platform .NET Core 1.1 features and teach you how to utilize .NET Core on macOS. Then, we will explore microservices as well as serverless computing and how these benefit modern developers. Finally, you will learn what you can do with Visual Studio 2017 to put mobile application development across multiple platforms within the reach of any developer.

Who is this book for?

The book will appeal to C# and .NET developers who have a basic familiarity with C# and the Visual Studio 2015 environment

This book provides content that can improve any developers game. There are a number of areas covered that I had been interested in but not had the time to really work with: Cordova, Asp.Net Core, and Azure Functions. This book delivers enough examples to get started in those areas and the vocabulary to further research where needed.I am sure you will find something to stretch your skills in this text. The power of C# and .Net Core is clearly demonstrated with screen-shots and step by step examples. I am going to keep a copy of this around as a reference as well.

Its easy to read and need less time to finish. Around 600 pages but less content. Page content is very less most of the pages have just dialog box or image only.

The overall consept of this book is good. I have read a few chapters which gave me some valuable input. I skipped to the chapter about regular expressions, and started following the examples given in the text.That's when trouble started. The code for date validation and text sanitation given in the book will not work. The (not so) funny thing is that there is actually two lines for date validation which show a pattern that will work. But the portion saying something like "this is how it should look" will never work.If you download the source code, there it seems as if you will find working examples.Two stars, errors like this should have been found before this book hit the market. It seems as if the Packt books are rushed through the system, with not enough time for QA.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
