Video with Peter Hallam: Automatic Properties

  • Article

Here is a new video Peter Hallam and I shot in his office. We started off talking about a new feature called automatic properties that will be part of the Orcas release of Visual Studio. The discussion then turns to the history and evolution of the C# language. We briefly cover the exciting time when Peter worked with Anders Hejlsberg and others to shape the C# language. Near the end of the video, the discussion turns to LINQ in general, and extension methods in particular. In this last section, Peter has a chance to explore some simple ways you can use extension methods to enhance the use of interfaces in your programs.

    Hi Charlie, I'm an ex Delphi user, now using C#.  Great to see you back as a "developer community guy" again. Interesting video, particularly the relationship between interfaces - as contracts for functionality - and extension methods.  I would have loved Microsoft to take the concept a little further, to resolve some issues with the current approach, as I wrote here: http://dotnet.agilekiwi.com/blog/2006/04/extension-methods-solution.html Regards, John

    Hi, is there any way to download the whole video? I can open it using WMP, but it hangs and starts buffering almost every minute :-(. (And I don't think this is a problem with my connection speed, because all other videos work well).
