| | 1 | == General Coding Best Practices == |
| | 2 | * use Environment.!NewLine instead of the string constant "\n" |
| | 3 | * use Path.Combine() instead of string concatenation (with \ or /) to combine directory and file names |
| | 4 | * throw and catch specific exceptions, don't catch generic exceptions try { ... } catch(Exception ex) {} |
| | 5 | * use a finally block to make sure that the state of the program is consistent even when Exceptions are thrown |
| | 6 | * if the mouse pointer was changed, set the mouse pointer back to normal in a finally {... } block |
| | 7 | * use string.Empty instead of the string constant "" |
| | 8 | * use string.!IsEmptyOrNull(a) instead of if(a!=null && a!="") |
| | 9 | * check for !InvokeRequired in methods that manipulate GUI elements in controls |
| | 10 | * instantiate all objects of classes implementing IDisposable with the using(...) { ... } statement to make sure the object is disposed correctly |
| | 11 | |
| | 12 | == Developing Operators == |
| | 13 | * When defining !ValueParameters inside an operator also include a public property that allows get and set access to the parameter's `Value` property. |
