 Best Practice for Code Reviewing C#

Code review is an important step in the software development process that helps ensure code quality, maintainability, and consistency. Here are some best practices for code review of C# code:

1. Know the code standards: Familiarize yourself with the project's coding standards, naming conventions, and best practices before starting a code review. This will help you identify areas where the code deviates from established standards and make suggestions for improvements.

2. Focus on maintainability: Code review should focus on code maintainability, readability, and scalability. Look for easy-to-understand and maintain code, and suggest changes where necessary.

3. Check for best practices and conventions: Ensure that the code follows best practices and conventions, such as naming conventions, coding style, and indentation.

4. Verify that the code is performant: Check that the code is performant and does not contain any performance bottlenecks. This may include checking for expensive operations, memory leaks, and efficient use of data structures.

5. Check for correct usage of language features: Ensure that the code uses C# language features correctly, such as classes, interfaces, delegates, and events.

6. Verify error handling: Check that the code handles errors correctly and that it has proper exception handling.

7. Review comments: Check that comments in the code are clear, concise, and helpful. Ensure that they provide context and explain the reasoning behind the code.

8. Consider automated tools: Automated tools can be used to help with code reviews, such as liners, code formatters, and code analysis tools. Use these tools to identify potential issues and help streamline the code review process.

9. Collaborate with the author: Code review should be a collaborative process between the author and the reviewer. Encourage open communication and discussion, and work together to identify and resolve any issues.

Final Thoughts 

Code review is an important part of software development and helps ensure that C# code is of high quality, maintainable, and consistent with established standards and best practices. By following these best practices, you can make the most of your code review process and help ensure the success of your projects.

A Complete Guide to Using GUIDs in C# with Code Examples

  Overview In this post, we are looking at GUIDs (Globally Unique Identifiers), which are widely used in C# for generating unique identifiers for objects, entities, and resources in a system. In this post, we'll explore the basics of GUIDs in C#, their advantages, and how to convert strings to GUIDs. In this post, we have used Guid Generator to create the GUID from the following URL Address https://guidgenerator.com/ What is GUID GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) in C# is a 128-bit value that is used to identify objects, entities, or resources in a unique manner across different systems and applications. It is also known as UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) in some other programming languages.   GUIDs are generated using a combination of unique factors such as the MAC address of the network adapter, the current time and date, and a random number. The resulting GUID is a string of 32 hexadecimal digits separated by hyphens, such as "b86f2096-237a-4059-8329-1bbcea72769b...

How to Truncate String in C#

  Overview In today’s post, I am writing about one of the fundamental aspects of C# and as programmers, we should use this approach I have realised throughout my life as a software engineer that not everyone knows the most basic approaches or how to use them efficiently. Truncating a string in C# means reducing the length of a string to a specified number of characters, typically by removing characters from the end of the string. This is often done when a string is too long to be displayed or used in a specific context and needs to be shortened to fit. Ley says if we have a string that is 100 characters long, but we only want to display the first 50 characters, we will truncate the string to a length of 50. There are several ways to truncate a string in C#, including using the Substring method, StringBuilder, and LINQ. A simple example of this is below, we're creating a longString variable with a long string value. We're also defining a maxLength variable with a value of 20...

ASP.net Core Services Lifetime Differences Between Using AddTransient, AddScoped and AddSingleton Services

  ASP.net Core Services Lifetime Differences Between Using AddTransient, AddScoped and AddSingleton Services Overview In this blog post, I will be explaining to you the ASP.net core Service Lifetime and will be explaining to you what is the difference between them and which one can be a risk to a memory leak if used incorrectly. AddTransient, AddScoped, and AddSingleton are dependency injection services in ASP.NET Core. The differences between them are as follows below. AddTransient: A new instance of the service is created every time it is requested. AddScoped: A single instance of the service is created per request within the same scope. AddSingleton: A single instance of the service is created for the entire application lifetime. In general, it's recommended to use AddScoped for services that are stateful and AddTransient for services that are stateless or have a short lifetime. AddSingleton is usually used for services that are expensive to create or only need to be crea...
