The .NET Framework has been updated to version 7.0 by Microsoft. The main features of this new version are faster startup times, better performance, and shorter compilation times.

This new version was created to address issues in previous framework versions and to add new developer features.

In March Microsoft announced the second preview release of .NET 7. The release is focused on bringing improvements to the ‘dotnet new’ Command Line Interface (CLI) experience. This will help developers save time.

Microsoft has introduced a new Regex Source Generator as well. This will help developers precompile their Regex code for a faster startup under certain conditions.

Overall, the improvements introduced in preview 2 are significant from a developer’s point of view. They look encouraging and promising to the developer community, helping them simplify their work processes.

C# is nothing new to us. We have known it since January 2002 to be more precise. The language has undergone quite a few changes in the last two decades.

They both bring along tons of new exciting features. These features have greatly enhanced the programming language. In this blog, we will have a look at the major features of C#10 and how they have transformed it.

After spending more than a year in development, Microsoft finally announced .NET 6 to the world on November 8th, 2021. The rollout is Microsoft’s biggest yet in the software development software domain. It is the last part of the .NET unification program, envisioned by Microsoft at the time of .NET 5.

A couple of months ago Microsoft announced .NET 5 release as the first step to achieve .NET unification. Microsoft’s goal is to have a single set of tools, APIs, and languages you can use across multiple platforms. On February 17th the tech giant announced a release of a .NET 6 Preview 1 as the next step of a big .NET utilization plan.

.NET framework provides two distinct ways of freeing up the unmanaged resources – Finalize & Dispose. In this article, we are going to discuss all the details about these two methods, the similarities and differences between them, and how using these can improve the efficiency of the program in .NET.
