Dynamic Type
dynamic myInt = 1;
myInt = "Hello World";
CultureInfo cultureInfo;
dynamic myVar = 1033;
cultureInfo = CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo(myVar);
myVar = "en-US";
cultureInfo = CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo(myVar);
System.Console.WriteLine(cultureInfo.Name);
object myInt = 1;
myInt = "Hello World";

Consuming JavaScript Dynamic
Types From Silverlight (1 of 4)<html>

<script type="text/javascript">
var map;
function CreateMap() {

map.DeleteAllShapes();
var x = new VELatLong(latitude, longitude);
var pin = map.AddPushPin(x);
map.SetCenterAndZoom(x, 9);
}

Implementing IDynamicObject
The Goalstatic void Main(string[] args)
{
dynamic resource =
new DynamicallyTypedResXResource("Resource1.resx");
Console.WriteLine(resource.HelloWorld);
}
static void Main(string[] args)
{
dynamic resource =
new DynamicallyTypedDbResource("Resource1");
Console.WriteLine(resource.HelloWorld);
}
11Guy Smith-Ferrier
Implementing IDynamicObject
The Solutionpublic class DynamicallyTypedResXResource: DynamicObject
{
Dictionary<string, object> dictionary = new Dictionary<string, object>();
public DynamicallyTypedResXResource(string resxFilename)
{
ResXResourceReader reader = new ResXResourceReader(resxFilename);
IEnumerator enumerator = reader.GetEnumerator();
while (enumerator.MoveNext())
{
DictionaryEntry entry = (DictionaryEntry) enumerator.Current;
dictionary.Add(entry.Key.ToString(), entry.Value);
}
}
public override object GetMember(GetMemberAction action)
{
return dictionary[action.Name];
}
}
"HelloWorld"
12Guy Smith-Ferrier
DynamicObject Methods
public class DynamicObject : IDynamicObject
{
public virtual object GetMember(GetMemberAction action);
public virtual void SetMember(SetMemberAction action, object value);
public virtual bool DeleteMember(DeleteMemberAction action);
public virtual object Call(CallAction action, params object[] args);
public virtual object Convert(ConvertAction action);
public virtual object Create(CreateAction action, params object[] args);
public virtual object Invoke(InvokeAction action, params object[] args);
public virtual object Operation(OperationAction action, params object[] args);
}
13Guy Smith-Ferrier
Benefits Of Dynamic Typing
Program against dynamically typed languages
using the same syntax as for static languages
– e.g. JavaScript from Silverlight
– Write code in .NET that traditionally has been
written in other languages (e.g. JavaScript)
Program against dynamic structures using the
same syntax as for static structures
– e.g. XML, DataSets

Improved COM Support
Dynamic Type
Optional and named parameters
Support for COM indexed properties
ref modifier is now optional
Type Equivalence and Type Embedding (NoPIA)
Improvements in COM event handling
18Guy Smith-Ferrier
Dynamic Types And COM
When you import a type library in .NET 4
you can choose whether to import types as
object (.NET 1 to 3.5) or dynamic (.NET 4)
// C# 1 to 3.5
((Excel.Range)excel.Cells[1, 1]).Value2 = "Hello";
Excel.Range range = (Excel.Range)excel.Cells[1, 1];
// C# 4 (type library imported with dynamic types)
excel.Cells[1, 1].Value = "Hello";
Excel.Range range = excel.Cells[1, 1];
19Guy Smith-Ferrier
Optional and Named
Parameters And COM// C# 1 to 3.5
Excel.Chart chart = (Excel.Chart)
excel.Application.Charts.Add(Type.Missing, excel.ActiveSheet, Type.Missing, Type.Missing);
// C# 4
Excel.Chart chart =
excel.Application.Charts.Add(After: excel.ActiveSheet);
20Guy Smith-Ferrier
ref Modifier Is Optional
// C# 1 to 3.5
var missing = Type.Missing;
word.Documents.Add(ref missing, ref missing, ref missing,
ref missing);
// C# 4
word.Documents.Add();
21Guy Smith-Ferrier
Type Embedding (1 of 4)
Types from COM type
libraries can be
optionally embedded in
the assembly
The default will be
True for new projects
22Guy Smith-Ferrier
Type Embedding (2 of 4) No Primary Interop Assembly (PIA) is required
Partial 'local' versions of the types are copied
into the assembly
Primary
Interop
Assembly
Visual Studio
(Intellisense)
C# Compiler
Assembly
Local Types
23Guy Smith-Ferrier
Type Embedding (3 of 4)
Only the methods used
by the application are
included in the
interface
– all other methods are
represented by 'vtable
gaps'
24Guy Smith-Ferrier
Type Embedding (4 of 4)
Only types from interop assemblies can be
embedded
– Assemblies must have the following attributes:-
Only metadata is embedded
– interfaces, delegates, enums, simple structs
– Classes cannot be embedded
[assembly:Guid()]
[assembly:ImportedFromTypeLib()]
25Guy Smith-Ferrier
Type Equivalence
Interfaces that have the same GUID are
treated as equivalent types by the CLR
– At least one of the interfaces must have a
TypeIdentifier attribute
– .NET languages (C#, Visual Basic.NET etc.)
require the namespace to be the same
Structs also support type equivalence
– Full Trust is required
– Full Trust may be required for interfaces in a
future CTP
26Guy Smith-Ferrier
Benefits Of Type Embedding
And Type Equivalence (NoPIA)
Smaller deployment footprint
– Office 2007 PIA footprint is 6.3Mb
Lower memory requirement
Develop against one version of Office (e.g.
2003) and run against a different version
(e.g. 2007)
27Guy Smith-Ferrier
COM Event Handling (1 of 2)
The compiler now recognises subscription
to COM events and generates different code
The new code does not suffer from "ghost
RCWs" (Runtime Callable Wrapper)
Excel.Application excelApplication = new Excel.Application();
excelApplication.SheetSelectionChange += SheetSelectionChange;
28Guy Smith-Ferrier
COM Event Handling (2 of 2)ComEventsHelper.Combine(excelApplication,
new Guid("00024413-0000-0000-C000-000000000046"),
0x616,
new AppEvents_SheetSelectionChangeEventHandler(
WindowsApplication1.SheetSelectionChange));
[Guid("00024413-0000-0000-C000-000000000046")]
public interface AppEvents
{
[DispId(2612)]
void AfterCalculate();
[DispId(1558)]
void SheetSelectionChange(object Sh, Range Target);
[DispId(1556)]
void WindowActivate(Workbook Wb, Window Wn);
29Guy Smith-Ferrier
Co-Variance And Contra-Variance// C# 1, 2, 3, 3.5 and 4
IList<string> strings = new List<string>();
// Cannot implicitly convert type
IList<object> objects = strings;
// this is illegal because objects[0] is strings[0]
objects[0] = 42;
IList<string> strings = new List<string>();
// this will work in a future version of C# 4
IEnumerable<object> objects = strings;
30Guy Smith-Ferrier
Co-Variance (out modifier)
public interface IEnumerable<out T>: IEnumerable
{
IEnumerator<T> GetEnumerator();
}
31Guy Smith-Ferrier
Contra-Variance (in modifier)
public interface IComparer<in T>: IEnumerable
{
public int Compare(T left, T right);
}
32Guy Smith-Ferrier
Variance Limitations
Variance type parameters can only be
declared on interfaces and delegates
Variance only applies when there is a
reference conversion
– IEnumerable<int> to IEnumerable<object> is a
boxing conversion not a reference conversion
33Guy Smith-Ferrier
Beyond C# 4
Compiler As A Service (1 of 4)
public class CSharpEvaluator
{
public CSharpEvaluator();
public CSharpEvaluator(CSharpCompiler compiler);
public Collection<assembly> References { get; }
public Collection<string> Usings { get; }
public void Clear();
public EvaluationResult Eval(string program);
public bool IsComplete(string program);
}
34Guy Smith-Ferrier
Beyond C# 4
Compiler As A Service (2 of 4)
public class EvaluationResult
{
public EvaluationResult(
object value, IList<ICSError> errors);
public IList<ICSErrors> Errors { get; }
public object Value { get; }
public override string ToString();
}
35Guy Smith-Ferrier
Beyond C# 4
Compiler As A Service (3 of 4)
static void Main(string[] args)
{
CSharpEvaluator evaluator = new CSharpEvaluator();
evaluator.Usings.Add("System");
EvaluationResult result = evaluator.Eval("1 + 2");
Console.WriteLine(result);
}
36Guy Smith-Ferrier
Beyond C# 4
Compiler As A Service (4 of 4)public class CSharpCompiler
{
public CSharpCompiler();
public BoundAssembly Bind(...);
public CompileResult Compile(...);
public CompileResult CompileTextIntoAssembly(...);
public CompileResult CompileTextToAssembly(...);
public CompileResult CompileToAssembly(...);
public void Emit(...);
public void EmitIntoAssembly(...);
public Assembly EmitToAssembly(...);
public SyntaxDocument Parse(...);
}
37Guy Smith-Ferrier
Uses For "Compiler As A
Service"
Read-Eval-Print Loop (REPL)
C# scripting (runtime extensibility)
– Embed C# in Domain Specific Languages
e.g. Windows Workflow code snippets
Meta programming
Language Object Model
– To enable C# refactoring
