Partial Methods to the rescue

If you already know partial classes, you should take a look at partial method. This is far from basic c# code, but can be useful in some cases. -f. ref.: http://community.bartdesmet.net/blogs/bart/archive/2007/07/28/c-3-0-partial-methods-what-why-and-how.aspx

IEnumerable and the yield statement

Check out the yield statement when implementing the IEnumarable interface. You can interestingly return each values, and continue the to process... like a multiple “return” -f. ref: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9k7k7cf0.aspx

using or not using

From MSDN: “As a rule, when you use an IDisposable object, you should declare and instantiate it in a using statement.” Simple. -f. ref: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/yh598w02.aspx

Why use “this.” when calling local variables?

Is use this. when calling local properties, so that the code is self describing. this. explicitly explain that you are accessing a class local property by the property accessor, and _variable when accessing the variable itself. -f.

File Split, even for handlers

In my opinion, everything should be a file, when it’s defined on the namespace. But why? Simple: maintenance. You want a class? an enum? a eventargs or an handler? check out the file corresponding to the name of it. -f.

Use of Property Accessor

(Almost) everybody is using them, but did you even think why? There is many reasons why using them. The main one, is to control who, when and how caller are accessing the value.
