TslaAugust 20, 2024August 25, 20240

In this post, I’ll show you how to set up a CI/CD(continuous integration and continuous delivery/deployment) pipeline in Azure DevOps for Azure Functions running on Azure cloud.

Warming Azure Functions To Prevent Cold Starts

TslaAugust 15, 2024August 16, 20240

In this post, I’ll show you how to prevent your Azure Functions from going to sleep thus preventing a cold start and improving the response time of the first call. This can be especially important if you have multiple function chained because you now have multiple cold starts in a row.

C# Transient Fault Handling With Polly

TslaAugust 15, 2024August 16, 20240

In this post, we’ll look at Polly which is a .NET library used for resilience and transient-fault-handling. It provides you with already implemented software design patterns/mechanisms/concepts such as Retry, Circuit Breaker, Hedging, Timeout, Rate Limiter, Fallback, …You can use this to make your software more reliable.

C# Basic Algorithms And Data Structures

TslaJune 5, 2024June 5, 20240

In this post, we’ll look at some basic algorithms and data structures in C#.

C# Code Snippets Covariance And Contravariance

C# Covariance And Contravariance

TslaFebruary 9, 2024February 9, 20240

In this code snippet, we’ll take a look at covariance and contravariance in C#.Covariance and contravariance enable implicit type conversion for arrays, delegates and generic interface type arguments.

C# Code Snippets Image Classification With ML.NET

C# Image Classification With ML.NET

TslaFebruary 3, 2024February 3, 20240

In this code snippet, we’ll see how to do image classification in C# using the ML.NET machine learning framework. It provides a user friendly GUI for creating, training and deploying different kinds of machine learning models within Visual Studio. It makes it very quick and easy to add machine learning to your .NET projects.

GPU Acceleration For Your C# App With ILGPU

TslaJanuary 31, 2024February 3, 20240

In this code snippet, we’ll see how to use GPU acceleration in C# using the ILGPU library. ILGPU provides you with a fairly simple interface to run code on your GPU from C#. For more information, you can check out the official documentation here. In this post, I will show you how to do some image processing by utilizing GPU acceleration if you want to see more examples(simpler or more complex ones) you can find them here.

C# Code Snippets COM Objects, Interop with PInvoke And Type Marshalling

C# COM Objects, Interop with PInvoke And Type Marshalling

TslaJanuary 24, 2024January 24, 20240

In this code snippet, we will take a look at COM objects, interop using PInvoke and type marshalling in C#.

C# Lambda Expressions

TslaJanuary 16, 2024January 16, 20240

In this code snippet, we will take a look at lambda expressions, Func and Action in C#.Func is simply a more compact way of defining a delegate/function pointer while Action is the exact same thing as Func but for methods that return void. The lambda operator () => is a more compact way to define an anonymous method that can then be assigned to a delegate or passed into another method as a parameter. It’s very often combined with LINQ to form very concise queries that all fit into a single line of code.

C# Code Snippets Unsfe code Pointers Stackalloc and Spans

C# Unsafe code, Pointers, Stackalloc and Spans

TslaJanuary 15, 2024January 23, 20240

In this code snippet, we will take a look at unsafe code, pointers, stack allocation and spans in C#. C# has managed memory unlike for example C/C++. This means that you don’t have to allocate or clear memory by yourself and in the case of .NET the CLR(common language runtime) takes care of memory allocation and garbage collection. This also means that in C# you can’t work with a pointer or allocate your variables on the stack which is common practice in C/C++.
