8. Language - Variance, Dynamic

9. Common Language Runtime Statically-Typed C# VB Ruby Python Dynamically-Typed Why the DLR?

10. Common Language Runtime Statically-Typed C# VB Ruby Python Dynamically-Typed Dynamic Language Runtime Why the DLR?

11. Python Binder Ruby Binder COM Binder Runtime Binder.NET Dynamic Programming Dynamic Language Runtime Expression Trees Dynamic Dispatch Call Site Caching Iron Python IronRubyIronRubyC#C#VB.NETVB.NETOthers…Others…

12. Dynamically Typed Objects Calculator calc = GetCalculator(); int sum = calc.Add(10, 20); Calculator calc = GetCalculator(); int sum = calc.Add(10, 20); object calc = GetCalculator(); Type calcType = calc.GetType(); object res = calcType.InvokeMember("Add", BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, new object[] { 10, 20 }); int sum = Convert.ToInt32(res); object calc = GetCalculator(); Type calcType = calc.GetType(); object res = calcType.InvokeMember("Add", BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, new object[] { 10, 20 }); int sum = Convert.ToInt32(res); ScriptObject calc = GetCalculator(); object res = calc.Invoke("Add", 10, 20); int sum = Convert.ToInt32(res); ScriptObject calc = GetCalculator(); object res = calc.Invoke("Add", 10, 20); int sum = Convert.ToInt32(res); dynamic calc = GetCalculator(); int sum = calc.Add(10, 20); dynamic calc = GetCalculator(); int sum = calc.Add(10, 20); Statically typed to be dynamic Dynamic method invocation Dynamic conversion

13. Type Equivalence Interop Assemblies translate between managed code and COM For each interface, struct, enum, delegate, and member, contains a managed equivalent with marshalling data

14. However! Primary Interop Assemblies cause many pain points…

15. Go Away, PIA! 1.Compilers embed the portions of the interop assemblies that the add-ins actually use 2.Runtime ensures the embedded definitions of these types are considered equivalent

16. C# Language Enhancements object fileName = "Test.docx"; object missing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value; doc.SaveAs(ref fileName, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing); object fileName = "Test.docx"; object missing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value; doc.SaveAs(ref fileName, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing); namedRange.Find("dog", xlByRows, MatchCase: True); Named argument dynamic result = namedRange.Find(MatchCase: True, what: "dog", searchOrder: xlByRows); dynamic result = namedRange.Find(MatchCase: True, what: "dog", searchOrder: xlByRows); Arguments evaluated in order written Named arguments can appear in any order doc.SaveAs("Test.docx"); Optional Params result.ClearContents(); Late-binding through “dynamic” type

17. Co- and Contra-variance void Process(object[] objects) { … } string[] strings = GetStringArray(); Process(strings); string[] strings = GetStringArray(); Process(strings); void Process(object[] objects) { objects[0] = "Hello"; // Ok objects[1] = new Button(); // Exception! } void Process(object[] objects) { objects[0] = "Hello"; // Ok objects[1] = new Button(); // Exception! } List strings = GetStringList(); Process(strings); List strings = GetStringList(); Process(strings); void Process(IEnumerable objects) { … }.NET arrays are co-variant …but not safely co-variant Until now, C# generics have been invariant void Process(IEnumerable objects) { // IEnumerable is read-only and // therefore safely co-variant } void Process(IEnumerable objects) { // IEnumerable is read-only and // therefore safely co-variant } C# 4.0 supports safe co- and contra-variance

18. Safe Co- and Contra-variance public interface IEnumerable { IEnumerator GetEnumerator(); } public interface IEnumerable { IEnumerator GetEnumerator(); } public interface IEnumerator { T Current { get; } bool MoveNext(); } public interface IEnumerator { T Current { get; } bool MoveNext(); } public interface IEnumerable { IEnumerator GetEnumerator(); } public interface IEnumerable { IEnumerator GetEnumerator(); } public interface IEnumerator { T Current { get; } bool MoveNext(); } public interface IEnumerator { T Current { get; } bool MoveNext(); } out = Co-variant Output positions only IEnumerable strings = GetStrings(); IEnumerable objects = strings; IEnumerable strings = GetStrings(); IEnumerable objects = strings; Can be treated as less derived public interface IComparer { int Compare(T x, T y); } public interface IComparer { int Compare(T x, T y); } public interface IComparer { int Compare(T x, T y); } public interface IComparer { int Compare(T x, T y); } IComparer objComp = GetComparer(); IComparer strComp = objComp; IComparer objComp = GetComparer(); IComparer strComp = objComp; in = Contra-variant Input positions only Can be treated as more derived

19. Let’s Fix It For Once And All! string GetDescription(int x) { Contract.Requires( 0 < x ); Contract.Ensures( Contract.Result () != null ); … } string GetDescription(int x) { Contract.Requires( 0 < x ); Contract.Ensures( Contract.Result () != null ); … } Design-by-Contract meets.NET!

20. Languages Support for DLR Variance – “things work the way you expect” Code Contracts Moving towards language parity – C#/VB Functional Programming – F# Better/Easier COM Interop

21. Data Middle Tier/Services Languages Core Runtime/Class Library Enhancements User Interface CLR/BCL ParallelParallelSxS**SxS**MEFMEF

22. Parallel Enhancements

23. The Parallel Computing Initiative Letting the brightest developers solve business problems, not concurrency problems. “Concurrency for the masses”

25. Parallel Computing with.NET 4 Task Parallel Library (TPL) Parallel LINQ (PLINQ) Coordination Data Structures (CDS) System.Threading Improvements

26. Parallel LINQ Parallel LINQ (PLINQ) enables developers to easily leverage manycore with a minimal impact to existing LINQ programming model var q = from p in people where p.Name == queryInfo.Name && p.State == queryInfo.State && p.Year >= yearStart && p.Year <= yearEnd orderby p.Year ascending select p; var q = from p in people where p.Name == queryInfo.Name && p.State == queryInfo.State && p.Year >= yearStart && p.Year <= yearEnd orderby p.Year ascending select p;

27. MEF

28. Managed Extensibility Framework? The Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF) is a new library in the.NET Framework that enables greater reuse of applications and components. Using MEF,.NET applications can make the shift from being statically compiled to dynamically composed

29. MEF Basics… Export it. Import it. Compose it.

31. Open/Closed Principle Software entities should be open for extension, but closed for modification.

32. Known vs. Unknown

33. CLR/BCL Middle Tier/Services Languages Data Enhancements User Interface Data Model First POCO*POCO*

34. Entity Framework – Model First and POCO

35. The next version of the Entity Framework In.NET 4.0 The next version of the Entity Framework POCO Lazy-loading Foreign Keys ObjectSet & IObjectSet Model First

36. CLR/BCL Data Languages Middle Tier Enhancements User Interface Middle Tier/Services Service Discovery Workflow v4

38. Moving Towards WF 4.0 Major themes in WF 4.0 include… XAML-only model Enhanced base activity library Simplifying custom activities Simplifying data flow Runtime/designer improvements

39. New Flow Chart Model Simple step-by-step model, with decisions and switches Allows you to return to previous activities in the workflow Flowcharts offer a middle ground between the sequential and state machine models

40. Arguments and Variables Flow Chart Parallel Sequence Send Message DelayDelay Receive Message Generate Order InArgument OutArgument InArgument OutArgument Process Order Send Report Variables Activities are the primitive abstraction for behavior Activities define Arguments to declare the type of data that can flow into or out of an Activity Activities are composable with other ActivitiesActivities have user-defined Variables for data storageActivities bind Arguments to in-scope Variables

41. WCF Service Discovery

42. New WCF 4.0 Features Simplified configuration Discovery Router service Improved REST support Misc. advanced features

43. Service Discovery WCF 4.0 provides two types of service discovery Clients can discover services on a local subnet (UDP-based) Clients can discover services on a larger "managed" network (beyond the local subnet) through a discovery proxy AdhocAdhocManagedManaged Enabled via the serviceDiscovery behavior, clients "discover" services using a DynamicEndpoint
