Nice one! Thanks.
You always obtain more by being rather polite and armed than polite only.

You could alias typename!!!
For example, tired of typing <c>System.Guid<c>, and would like a nice lower case alias, like "int"?
how about that instead:
using guid = System.Guid;
guid g = guid.NewGuid();
This pro-tip has been brought to you by Miguel de Icaza in his SkiaSharp implementation! 
As seen there[^]!

Especially good when you have rally long type names and you want to keep line lengths sensible.
Use sparingly though!

ok .. I knew about namespace aliasing, I havnt seen a 'warning' like this .. what gives Mr M ?

Yes, handy, but not as handy as I'd like.
I found that...
using ListType = System.Collections.Generic.List<int> ;
using MFU = PIEBALD.Types.MasterFileUpdater<ListType,int,ListType,int> ;
... won't compile, but that...
using ListType = System.Collections.Generic.List<int> ;
namespace whatever
{
using MFU = PIEBALD.Types.MasterFileUpdater<ListType,int,ListType,int> ;
}
... will.

Have you tried prefixing 'ListType' with
global:: in the MFU declaration?

Wait until you get to my age. I learn something new every day. It's just a shame it's the same thing I learnt yesterday.

Now if only I could remember what I learned yesterday, I'd be ruler of the Darby & Joan club.

Thank god for Wikipedia and today's lesson. Never heard of Darby and Joan club. I should add it to my favourites so I can learn it again tomorrow!

I saw this title on Forum msg summary in home page. And I knew, it'd be posted by bloody you.  How precise my guesses are becoming.

Yeah it's kinda cool to talk technical stuff here in Lounge. I'm never against it. I think nobody is.

Hi, Super Lloyd,
Yeah, been using this a long while.
The code example by Icaza is kind of "scary," though. Over twenty aliases for System.IntPtr. Clearly, he doesn't like to declare variables the "usual" way; I also find his use of lower-case aliases for Types that would usually have an initial upper-case letter (or use camel-casing) ... strange.
However, looking at that code, it does appear "consistent," and I assume part of his motivation for writing in this format has to with the multi-platform aspect of it.
cheers, Bill

IntPtr is just a .. void* really.. doesn't tell you much... a bit like those windows HANDLE.
I guess he did that to introduce an helpful illusion of typing!

So instead of:
using System;
Guid g = Guid.NewGuid();
you use:
using guid = System.Guid;
guid g = guid.NewGuid();
Genius.

We had no air conditioning as the system actually hadn't been finished at the time the rest of the house was, and we weren't told that (which I believe is a Fort Wayne Construction Code Violation). We just got it fixed, and now there is no power to the outlets in the garage, where our modem is. 
I checked each outlet, and found a single outlet next to the Water Heater and Furnace that had power, and jerry rigged a system to power the modem with an extension cord and a power strip. And yes, it works.
We have an electrician coming tomorrow to figure out the power issue, so this is only a temporary measure (it's probably not code compliant, anyways )

Yes, and I want to see a picture of this rats nest of an extension cord and power strip that violates code!
