VS 2022 a genuine wow moment

Perhaps you or someone else can explain this
{get; set;}thing to me. There are times when having a getter is appropriate, but far fewer times when having a setter is appropriate. I'm surprised that they make it so easy to mindlessly provide one.Robust Services Core | Software Techniques for Lemmings | Articles
The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing.Just add "private" in front of "set;". Then you can set the value internally to your class but not from outside the class. The getter would have the same access as the property itself.

I had more obviously wrong suggestions than cases where it generated what I wanted, but that's not why I turned it off after a few weeks. I pulled the plug because about 5-10% of the suggestions were dangerously wrong. Things that looked OK at first glance, but which had subtle logic errors in them. Trying to debug my own wrong think is bad enough, when the code running is ever so slightly off of what I intended was far worse.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius
I've found that most of the suggestions (80%+) are exactly what I wanted to do. I've been pretty wowed by the technology. Maybe it's because it's looking over my shoulder and learning from a truly great programming master ;-)

I was writing a little bit of code today to replace commas within double quotes enclosed text in a huge string. This string could have multiple segments of double quoted text. I had only written this bit
// Replace all the commas that are between double quotes
char[] linechars = line.ToCharArray();
bool isInQuotes = false;for (int i = 0; i < linechars.Length; i++)
{
if (linechars[i] == '"')//This was predicted by Visual StudioThis IDE can read my code and comments and predict the next if statement. This is amazing. P.S. Before someone points out miserable string handling, I really do not care about code quality. This is a one time use (quick or slow) and dirty utility.

The edited bit ... Whoo, that's a complicated one ... Lists are pretty efficient at what they do, but it depends on what you actually do with them - this may help: List<T> - Is it really as efficient as you probably think?[^] So a List of Lists (of lists) could be more efficient than a monolithic list. Or it could be massively inefficient if you use it badly. But remember that as it's a class the collection(s) are storing, the memory occupied is the same whether it's an instance or a collection that it holds - the memory for the actual instance will be exactly the same size and number regardless, so nested collections may take up slightly more memory than a single one because of the extra references to collections involved. But only if you let the big one grow to size - otherwise the "double each time it's full" part of the equation starts to consume inordinate amounts of memory (and processing time to copy across as it goes). But then when you use it, the flat model outperforms in it terms of processing, because there is less dereferencing going on. And if you start storing the Fruit as a struct rather than a class to save space and dereferencing, you introduce a whole new kettle of fish because the size of the Fruit starts to impact space and processing when you copy it each time (value types) instead of copying the reference alone. And ... there is a limit on the size of the monolithic collection because of the .NET limit on max size of any one item, and an array of structs is a single chunk of memory
n * sizeof(Fruit)bytes long instead ofn * 4orn * 8bytes long for an array / list of references. Again, this might help: Using struct and class - what's that all about?[^] It's never as simple as it seems, is it? :laugh: [edit] Second link changed - I forgot to CTRL+C before pasting ... :-O [/edit]"I have no idea what I did, but I'm taking full credit for it." - ThisOldTony "Common sense is so rare these days, it sh

(only if you knew what you are talking about) yeah, with a small font and in brackets.

I've never had so much data that I had to be concerned with splitting my List<> objects. However, I have had a need for List> before because of the nature of the data. Think of the outer list being for all car manufacturers while each inner list is for each car model they make. Because of how my database data was structured, this made more sense at the time. I could have used linq to combine all car lists into a single list, but it wasn't necessary.

Yeah you could push that logic even further by making 'car model' a list on its own containing all the car model parts (for a car service shop use for instance). List in a list saves you sorting time but a list is just a container it doesn`t provide any clue about what`s inside other than it`s name so you need to keep a separate account about the list tree structure, levels if the tree is rather deep/complex.

im still annoyed with auto double quotes have string need to setup, value from excel for example
var myString =
go and copy value and paste in
var myString = fancyLongvalue_that i dont want to type out
now need to wrap in quote
var myString = ""fancyLongvalue_that i dont want to type out
😒 type one double quote and gives me two, kinda like hidden clippy somewhere "oh you want string, take two" ok, well delete the second, and move to end of line to add closing quote
var myString = "fancyLongvalue_that i dont want to type out""
😡fancy auto complete but still thinking I want a second quote when already warning with a bunch of error due to first quote
try selecting the pasted value and then type a double quote. Alternatively, first type the double quote and then paste.
