 # .NET Assembly File Format
 
 .NET defines a binary file format - "assembly" - that is used to fully-describe and contain .NET programs. Assemblies are used for the programs themselves as well as any dependent libraries. A .NET program can be executed as one or more assemblies, with no other required artifacts, beyond the appropriate .NET implementation. Native dependencies, including operating system APIs, are a separate concern and are not contained within the .NET assembly format, although are sometimes described with this format (for example, WinRT).

 # Async in depth
 
 Writing I/O- and CPU-bound asynchronous code is straightforward using the .NET Task-based async model. The model is exposed by the `Task` and `Task<T>` types and the `async` and `await` keywords in C# and Visual Basic. (Language-specific resources are found in the [See also](#see-also) section.) This article explains how to use .NET async and provides insight into the async framework used under the covers.

 # Async Overview
 
 Not so long ago, apps got faster simply by buying a newer PC or server and then that trend stopped. In fact, it reversed. Mobile phones appeared with 1ghz single core ARM chips and server workloads transitioned to VMs. Users still want responsive UI and business owners want servers that scale with their business. The transition to mobile and cloud and an internet-connected population of >3B users has resulted in a new set of software patterns.

 # Parsing Date and Time Strings in .NET
 
 Parsing strings to convert them to <xref:System.DateTime> objects requires you to specify information about how the dates and times are represented as text. Different cultures use different orders for day, month, and year. Some time representations use a 24-hour clock, others specify "AM" and "PM." Some applications need only the date. Others need only the time. Still others need to specify both the date and the time. The methods that convert strings to <xref:System.DateTime> objects enable you to provide detailed information about the formats you expect and the elements of a date and time your application needs. There are three subtasks to correctly converting text into a <xref:System.DateTime>:

 # .NET Class Libraries
 
 Class libraries are the [shared library](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_%28computing%29#Shared_libraries) concept for .NET. They enable you to componentize useful functionality into modules that can be used by multiple applications. They can also be used as a means of loading functionality that is not needed or not known at application startup. Class libraries are described using the [.NET Assembly file format](assembly-format.md).

 # How to: Access the predefined UTC and local time zone objects
 
 The <xref:System.TimeZoneInfo> class provides two properties, <xref:System.TimeZoneInfo.Utc%2A> and <xref:System.TimeZoneInfo.Local%2A>, that give your code access to predefined time zone objects. This topic discusses how to access the <xref:System.TimeZoneInfo> objects returned by those properties.

 # Converting between DateTime and DateTimeOffset
 
 Although the <xref:System.DateTimeOffset> structure provides a greater degree of time zone awareness than the <xref:System.DateTime> structure, <xref:System.DateTime> parameters are used more commonly in method calls. Because of this, the ability to convert <xref:System.DateTimeOffset> values to <xref:System.DateTime> values and vice versa is particularly important. This topic shows how to perform these conversions in a way that preserves as much time zone information as possible.

 # Converting times between time zones
 
 It is becoming increasingly important for any application that works with dates and times to handle differences between time zones. An application can no longer assume that all times can be expressed in the local time, which is the time available from the <xref:System.DateTime> structure. For example, a Web page that displays the current time in the eastern part of the United States will lack credibility to a customer in eastern Asia. This topic explains how to convert times from one time zone to another, as well as how to convert <xref:System.DateTimeOffset> values that have limited time zone awareness.

 # How to: Enumerate time zones present on a computer
 
 Successfully working with a designated time zone requires that information about that time zone be available to the system. The Windows XP and Windows Vista operating systems store this information in the registry. However, although the total number of time zones that exist throughout the world is large, the registry contains information about only a subset of them. In addition, the registry itself is a dynamic structure whose contents are subject to both deliberate and accidental change. As a result, an application cannot always assume that a particular time zone is defined and available on a system. The first step for many applications that use time zone information applications is to determine whether required time zones are available on the local system, or to give the user a list of time zones from which to select. This requires that an application enumerate the time zones defined on a local system.

 # Finding the time zones defined on a local system
 
 The <xref:System.TimeZoneInfo> class does not expose a public constructor. As a result, the `new` keyword cannot be used to create a new <xref:System.TimeZoneInfo> object. Instead, <xref:System.TimeZoneInfo> objects are instantiated either by retrieving information on predefined time zones from the registry or by creating a custom time zone. This topic discusses instantiating a time zone from data stored in the registry. In addition, `static` (`shared` in Visual Basic) properties of the <xref:System.TimeZoneInfo> class provide access to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and the local time zone.

 # Instantiating a DateTimeOffset object
 
 The <xref:System.DateTimeOffset> structure offers a number of ways to create new <xref:System.DateTimeOffset> values. Many of them correspond directly to the methods available for instantiating new <xref:System.DateTime> values, with enhancements that allow you to specify the date and time value's offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). In particular, you can instantiate a <xref:System.DateTimeOffset> value in the following ways:

 An ambiguous time is a time that maps to more than one Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). It occurs when the clock time is adjusted back in time, such as during the transition from a time zone's daylight saving time to its standard time. When handling an ambiguous time, you can do one of the following:

 # Performing arithmetic operations with dates and times
 
 Although both the <xref:System.DateTime> and the <xref:System.DateTimeOffset> structures provide members that perform arithmetic operations on their values, the results of arithmetic operations are very different. This topic examines those differences, relates them to degrees of time zone awareness in date and time data, and discusses how to perform fully time zone aware operations using date and time data.

 # Saving and restoring time zones
 
 The <xref:System.TimeZoneInfo> class relies on the registry to retrieve predefined time zone data. However, the registry is a dynamic structure. Additionally, the time zone information that the registry contains is used by the operating system primarily to handle time adjustments and conversions for the current year. This has two major implications for applications that rely on accurate time zone data:

 # Time zone overview
 
 The <xref:System.TimeZoneInfo> class simplifies the creation of time zone-aware applications. The <xref:System.TimeZone> class supports working with the local time zone and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The <xref:System.TimeZoneInfo> class supports both of these zones as well as any time zone about which information is predefined in the registry. You can also use <xref:System.TimeZoneInfo> to define custom time zones that the system has no information about.

 # How to: Use time zones in date and time arithmetic
 
 Ordinarily, when you perform date and time arithmetic using <xref:System.DateTime> or <xref:System.DateTimeOffset> values, the result does not reflect any time zone adjustment rules. This is true even when the time zone of the date and time value is clearly identifiable (for example, when the <xref:System.DateTime.Kind%2A> property is set to <xref:System.DateTimeKind.Local>). This topic shows how to perform arithmetic operations on date and time values that belong to a particular time zone. The results of the arithmetic operations will reflect the time zone's adjustment rules.

 # Working with calendars
 
 Although a date and time value represents a moment in time, its string representation is culture-sensitive and depends both on the conventions used for displaying date and time values by a specific culture and on the calendar used by that culture. This topic explores the support for calendars in .NET and discusses the use of the calendar classes when working with date values.

 # Delegates and lambdas
 
 Delegates define a type, which specify a particular method signature. A method (static or instance) that satisfies this signature can be assigned to a variable of that type, then called directly (with the appropriate arguments) or passed as an argument itself to another method and then called. The following example demonstrates delegate use.

 # Framework Libraries
 
 .NET has an expansive standard set of class libraries, referred to as either the base class libraries (core set) or framework class libraries (complete set). These libraries provide implementations for many general and app-specific types, algorithms and utility functionality. Both commercial and community libraries build on top of the framework class libraries, providing easy to use off-the-shelf libraries for a wide set of computing tasks.

 # Generic Types (Generics) Overview
 
 We use generics all the time in C#, whether implicitly or explicitly. When you use LINQ in C#, did you ever notice that you are working with IEnumerable<T>? Or if you ever saw an online sample of a "generic repository" for talking to databases using Entity Framework, did you see that most methods return IQueryable<T>? You may have wondered what the **T** is in these examples and why is it in there?

 # Language independence and language-independent components
 
 .NET is language independent. This means that, as a developer, you can develop in one of the many languages that target .NET implementations, such as C#, F#, and Visual Basic. You can access the types and members of class libraries developed for .NET implementations without having to know the language in which they were originally written and without having to follow any of the original language's conventions. If you are a component developer, your component can be accessed by any .NET app regardless of its language.

 # Asynchronous Programming Model (APM)
 An asynchronous operation that uses the <xref:System.IAsyncResult> design pattern is implemented as two methods named **Begin***OperationName* and **End***OperationName* that begin and end the asynchronous operation *OperationName* respectively. For example, the <xref:System.IO.FileStream> class provides the <xref:System.IO.FileStream.BeginRead%2A> and <xref:System.IO.FileStream.EndRead%2A> methods to asynchronously read bytes from a file. These methods implement the asynchronous version of the <xref:System.IO.FileStream.Read%2A> method.

 # Asynchronous Programming Using Delegates
 Delegates enable you to call a synchronous method in an asynchronous manner. When you call a delegate synchronously, the `Invoke` method calls the target method directly on the current thread. If the `BeginInvoke` method is called, the common language runtime (CLR) queues the request and returns immediately to the caller. The target method is called asynchronously on a thread from the thread pool. The original thread, which submitted the request, is free to continue executing in parallel with the target method. If a callback method has been specified in the call to the `BeginInvoke` method, the callback method is called when the target method ends. In the callback method, the `EndInvoke` method obtains the return value and any input/output or output-only parameters. If no callback method is specified when calling `BeginInvoke`, `EndInvoke` can be called from the thread that called `BeginInvoke`.

 # Best Practices for Implementing the Event-based Asynchronous Pattern
 The Event-based Asynchronous Pattern provides you with an effective way to expose asynchronous behavior in classes, with familiar event and delegate semantics. To implement Event-based Asynchronous Pattern, you need to follow some specific behavioral requirements. The following sections describe requirements and guidelines you should consider when you implement a class that follows the Event-based Asynchronous Pattern.

 # Blocking Application Execution by Ending an Async Operation
 Applications that cannot continue to do other work while waiting for the results of an asynchronous operation must block until the operation completes. Use one of the following options to block your application's main thread while waiting for an asynchronous operation to complete:

 # Calling Synchronous Methods Asynchronously
 The .NET Framework enables you to call any method asynchronously. To do this you define a delegate with the same signature as the method you want to call; the common language runtime automatically defines `BeginInvoke` and `EndInvoke` methods for this delegate, with the appropriate signatures.

 # Consuming the Task-based Asynchronous Pattern
 When you use the Task-based Asynchronous Pattern (TAP) to work with asynchronous operations, you can use callbacks to achieve waiting without blocking.  For tasks, this is achieved through methods such as <xref:System.Threading.Tasks.Task.ContinueWith%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType>. Language-based asynchronous support hides callbacks by allowing asynchronous operations to be awaited within normal control flow, and compiler-generated code provides this same API-level support.

 # Deciding When to Implement the Event-based Asynchronous Pattern
 The Event-based Asynchronous Pattern provides a pattern for exposing the asynchronous behavior of a class. With the introduction of this pattern, the [!INCLUDE[dnprdnshort](../../../includes/dnprdnshort-md.md)] defines two patterns for exposing asynchronous behavior: the Asynchronous Pattern based on the <xref:System.IAsyncResult?displayProperty=nameWithType> interface, and the event-based pattern. This topic describes when it is appropriate for you to implement both patterns.

 # Event-based Asynchronous Pattern Overview
 Applications that perform many tasks simultaneously, yet remain responsive to user interaction, often require a design that uses multiple threads. The <xref:System.Threading> namespace provides all the tools necessary to create high-performance multithreaded applications, but using these tools effectively requires significant experience with multithreaded software engineering. For relatively simple multithreaded applications, the <xref:System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker> component provides a straightforward solution. For more sophisticated asynchronous applications, consider implementing a class that adheres to the Event-based Asynchronous Pattern.

 # Interop with Other Asynchronous Patterns and Types
 The .NET Framework 1.0 introduced the <xref:System.IAsyncResult> pattern, otherwise known as the [Asynchronous Programming Model (APM)](../../../docs/standard/asynchronous-programming-patterns/asynchronous-programming-model-apm.md), or the `Begin/End` pattern.  The .NET Framework 2.0 added the [Event-based Asynchronous Pattern (EAP)](../../../docs/standard/asynchronous-programming-patterns/event-based-asynchronous-pattern-eap.md).  Starting with the .NET Framework 4, the [Task-based Asynchronous Pattern (TAP)](../../../docs/standard/asynchronous-programming-patterns/task-based-asynchronous-pattern-tap.md) supersedes both APM and EAP, but provides the ability to easily build migration routines from the earlier patterns.

 # Extending Metadata Using Attributes
 The common language runtime allows you to add keyword-like descriptive declarations, called attributes, to annotate programming elements such as types, fields, methods, and properties. When you compile your code for the runtime, it is converted into Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) and placed inside a portable executable (PE) file along with metadata generated by the compiler. Attributes allow you to place extra descriptive information into metadata that can be extracted using runtime reflection services. The compiler creates attributes when you declare instances of special classes that derive from <xref:System.Attribute?displayProperty=nameWithType>.

 Retrieving a custom attribute is a simple process. First, declare an instance of the attribute you want to retrieve. Then, use the <xref:System.Attribute.GetCustomAttribute%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> method to initialize the new attribute to the value of the attribute you want to retrieve.

 # Writing Custom Attributes
 To design your own custom attributes, you do not need to master many new concepts. If you are familiar with object-oriented programming and know how to design classes, you already have most of the knowledge needed. Custom attributes are essentially traditional classes that derive directly or indirectly from <xref:System.Attribute?displayProperty=nameWithType>. Just like traditional classes, custom attributes contain methods that store and retrieve data.

 # Automatic Memory Management
 Automatic memory management is one of the services that the Common Language Runtime provides during [Managed Execution](../../docs/standard/managed-execution-process.md). The Common Language Runtime's garbage collector manages the allocation and release of memory for an application. For developers, this means that you do not have to write code to perform memory management tasks when you develop managed applications. Automatic memory management can eliminate common problems, such as forgetting to free an object and causing a memory leak, or attempting to access memory for an object that has already been freed. This section describes how the garbage collector allocates and releases memory.

 # Anchors in Regular Expressions
 <a name="top"></a> Anchors, or atomic zero-width assertions, specify a position in the string where a match must occur. When you use an anchor in your search expression, the regular expression engine does not advance through the string or consume characters; it looks for a match in the specified position only. For example, `^` specifies that the match must start at the beginning of a line or string. Therefore, the regular expression `^http:` matches "http:" only when it occurs at the beginning of a line. The following table lists the anchors supported by the regular expressions in .NET.

 # Backreference Constructs in Regular Expressions
 Backreferences provide a convenient way to identify a repeated character or substring within a string. For example, if the input string contains multiple occurrences of an arbitrary substring, you can match the first occurrence with a capturing group, and then use a backreference to match subsequent occurrences of the substring.

 # Backtracking in Regular Expressions
 <a name="top"></a> Backtracking occurs when a regular expression pattern contains optional [quantifiers](../../../docs/standard/base-types/quantifiers-in-regular-expressions.md) or [alternation constructs](../../../docs/standard/base-types/alternation-constructs-in-regular-expressions.md), and the regular expression engine returns to a previous saved state to continue its search for a match. Backtracking is central to the power of regular expressions; it makes it possible for expressions to be powerful and flexible, and to match very complex patterns. At the same time, this power comes at a cost. Backtracking is often the single most important factor that affects the performance of the regular expression engine. Fortunately, the developer has control over the behavior of the regular expression engine and how it uses backtracking. This topic explains how backtracking works and how it can be controlled.

 # How to: Perform Basic String Manipulations in .NET
 The following example uses some of the methods discussed in the [Basic String Operations](../../../docs/standard/base-types/basic-string-operations.md) topics to construct a class that performs string manipulations in a manner that might be found in a real-world application. The `MailToData` class stores the name and address of an individual in separate properties and provides a way to combine the `City`, `State`, and `Zip` fields into a single string for display to the user. Furthermore, the class allows the user to enter the city, state, and ZIP Code information as a single string; the application automatically parses the single string and enters the proper information into the corresponding property.

 # Basic String Operations in .NET
 Applications often respond to users by constructing messages based on user input. For example, it is not uncommon for Web sites to respond to a newly logged-on user with a specialized greeting that includes the user's name. Several methods in the <xref:System.String?displayProperty=nameWithType> and <xref:System.Text.StringBuilder?displayProperty=nameWithType> classes allow you to dynamically construct custom strings to display in your user interface. These methods also help you perform a number of basic string operations like creating new strings from arrays of bytes, comparing the values of strings, and modifying existing strings.

 # Best Practices for Using Strings in .NET
 <a name="top"></a> .NET provides extensive support for developing localized and globalized applications, and makes it easy to apply the conventions of either the current culture or a specific culture when performing common operations such as sorting and displaying strings. But sorting or comparing strings is not always a culture-sensitive operation. For example, strings that are used internally by an application typically should be handled identically across all cultures. When culturally independent string data, such as XML tags, HTML tags, user names, file paths, and the names of system objects, are interpreted as if they were culture-sensitive, application code can be subject to subtle bugs, poor performance, and, in some cases, security issues.

 # Best Practices for Regular Expressions in .NET
 <a name="top"></a> The regular expression engine in .NET is a powerful, full-featured tool that processes text based on pattern matches rather than on comparing and matching literal text. In most cases, it performs pattern matching rapidly and efficiently. However, in some cases, the regular expression engine can appear to be very slow. In extreme cases, it can even appear to stop responding as it processes a relatively small input over the course of hours or even days.

 # Changing Case in .NET
 If you write an application that accepts input from a user, you can never be sure what case he or she will use to enter the data. Often, you want strings to be cased consistently, particularly if you are displaying them in the user interface. The following table describes three case-changing methods. The first two methods provide an overload that accepts a culture.

 # Character Encoding in .NET
 Characters are abstract entities that can be represented in many different ways. A character encoding is a system that pairs each character in a supported character set with some value that represents that character. For example, Morse code is a character encoding that pairs each character in the Roman alphabet with a pattern of dots and dashes that are suitable for transmission over telegraph lines. A character encoding for computers pairs each character in a supported character set with a numeric value that represents that character. A character encoding has two distinct components:

 # Details of Regular Expression Behavior
 The .NET Framework regular expression engine is a backtracking regular expression matcher that incorporates a traditional Nondeterministic Finite Automaton (NFA) engine such as that used by Perl, Python, Emacs, and Tcl. This distinguishes it from faster, but more limited, pure regular expression Deterministic Finite Automaton (DFA) engines such as those found in awk, egrep, or lex. This also distinguishes it from standardized, but slower, POSIX NFAs. The following section describes the three types of regular expression engines, and explains why regular expressions in the .NET Framework are implemented by using a traditional NFA engine.

 # How to: Convert Numeric User Input in Web Controls to Numbers
 Because a Web page can be displayed anywhere in the world, users can input numeric data into a <xref:System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox> control in an almost unlimited number of formats. As a result, it is very important to determine the locale and culture of the Web page's user. When you parse user input, you can then apply the formatting conventions defined by the user's locale and culture.

 # How to: Display Dates in Non-Gregorian Calendars
 The <xref:System.DateTime> and <xref:System.DateTimeOffset> types use the Gregorian calendar as their default calendar. This means that calling a date and time value's `ToString` method displays the string representation of that date and time in the Gregorian calendar, even if that date and time was created using another calendar. This is illustrated in the following example, which uses two different ways to create a date and time value with the Persian calendar, but still displays those date and time values in the Gregorian calendar when it calls the <xref:System.DateTime.ToString%2A> method. This example reflects two commonly used but incorrect techniques for displaying the date in a particular calendar.

 # How to: Display Localized Date and Time Information to Web Users
 Because a Web page can be displayed anywhere in the world, operations that parse and format date and time values should not rely on a default format (which most often is the format of the Web server's local culture) when interacting with the user. Instead, Web forms that handle date and time strings input by the user should parse the strings using the user's preferred culture. Similarly, date and time data should be displayed to the user in a format that conforms to the user's culture. This topic shows how to do this.

 # How to: Extract the Day of the Week from a Specific Date
 The .NET Framework makes it easy to determine the ordinal day of the week for a particular date, and to display the localized weekday name for a particular date. An enumerated value that indicates the day of the week corresponding to a particular date is available from the <xref:System.DateTime.DayOfWeek%2A> or <xref:System.DateTimeOffset.DayOfWeek%2A> property. In contrast, retrieving the weekday name is a formatting operation that can be performed by calling a formatting method, such as a date and time value's `ToString` method or the <xref:System.String.Format%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> method. This topic shows how to perform these formatting operations.

 # Parsing Numeric Strings in NET
 All numeric types have two static parsing methods, `Parse` and `TryParse`, that you can use to convert the string representation of a number into a numeric type. These methods enable you to parse strings that were produced by using the format strings documented in [Standard Numeric Format Strings](../../../docs/standard/base-types/standard-numeric-format-strings.md) and [Custom Numeric Format Strings](../../../docs/standard/base-types/custom-numeric-format-strings.md). By default, the `Parse` and `TryParse` methods can successfully convert strings that contain integral decimal digits only to integer values. They can successfully convert strings that contain integral and fractional decimal digits, group separators, and a decimal separator to floating-point values. The `Parse` method throws an exception if the operation fails, whereas the `TryParse` method returns `false`.

 # Parsing Strings in .NET
 A parsing operation converts a string that represents a .NET base type into that base type. For example, a parsing operation is used to convert a string to a floating-point number or to a date and time value. The method most commonly used to perform a parsing operation is the `Parse` method. Because parsing is the reverse operation of formatting (which involves converting a base type into its string representation), many of the same rules and conventions apply. Just as formatting uses an object that implements the <xref:System.IFormatProvider> interface to provide culture-sensitive formatting information, parsing also uses an object that implements the <xref:System.IFormatProvider> interface to determine how to interpret a string representation. For more information, see [Formatting Types](../../../docs/standard/base-types/formatting-types.md).

 # Regular Expression Language - Quick Reference
 <a name="top"></a> A regular expression is a pattern that the regular expression engine attempts to match in input text. A pattern consists of one or more character literals, operators, or constructs.  For a brief introduction, see [.NET Regular Expressions](../../../docs/standard/base-types/regular-expressions.md).

 # Regular Expression Options
 <a name="Top"></a> By default, the comparison of an input string with any literal characters in a regular expression pattern is case sensitive, white space in a regular expression pattern is interpreted as literal white-space characters, and capturing groups in a regular expression are named implicitly as well as explicitly. You can modify these and several other aspects of default regular expression behavior by specifying regular expression options. These options, which are listed in the following table, can be included inline as part of the regular expression pattern, or they can be supplied to a <xref:System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex?displayProperty=nameWithType> class constructor or static pattern matching method as a <xref:System.Text.RegularExpressions.RegexOptions?displayProperty=nameWithType> enumeration value.

 # .NET Regular Expressions
 Regular expressions provide a powerful, flexible, and efficient method for processing text. The extensive pattern-matching notation of regular expressions enables you to quickly parse large amounts of text to find specific character patterns; to validate text to ensure that it matches a predefined pattern (such as an email address); to extract, edit, replace, or delete text substrings; and to add the extracted strings to a collection in order to generate a report. For many applications that deal with strings or that parse large blocks of text, regular expressions are an indispensable tool.

 # Standard Date and Time Format Strings
 A standard date and time format string uses a single format specifier to define the text representation of a date and time value. Any date and time format string that contains more than one character, including white space, is interpreted as a custom date and time format string; for more information, see [Custom Date and Time Format Strings](../../../docs/standard/base-types/custom-date-and-time-format-strings.md).

 # Using the StringBuilder Class in .NET
 The <xref:System.String> object is immutable. Every time you use one of the methods in the <xref:System.String?displayProperty=nameWithType> class, you create a new string object in memory, which requires a new allocation of space for that new object. In situations where you need to perform repeated modifications to a string, the overhead associated with creating a new <xref:System.String> object can be costly. The <xref:System.Text.StringBuilder?displayProperty=nameWithType> class can be used when you want to modify a string without creating a new object. For example, using the <xref:System.Text.StringBuilder> class can boost performance when concatenating many strings together in a loop.

 # Substitutions in Regular Expressions
 <a name="Top"></a> Substitutions are language elements that are recognized only within replacement patterns. They use a regular expression pattern to define all or part of the text that is to replace matched text in the input string. The replacement pattern can consist of one or more substitutions along with literal characters. Replacement patterns are provided to overloads of the <xref:System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> method that have a `replacement` parameter and to the <xref:System.Text.RegularExpressions.Match.Result%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> method. The methods replace the matched pattern with the pattern that is defined by the `replacement` parameter.

 If you are parsing a sentence into individual words, you might end up with words that have blank spaces (also called white spaces) on either end of the word. In this situation, you can use one of the trim methods in the **System.String** class to remove any number of spaces or other characters from a specified position in the string.

 # Type Conversion in the .NET Framework
 <a name="top"></a> Every value has an associated type, which defines attributes such as the amount of space allocated to the value, the range of possible values it can have, and the members that it makes available. Many values can be expressed as more than one type. For example, the value 4 can be expressed as an integer or a floating-point value. Type conversion creates a value in a new type that is equivalent to the value of an old type, but does not necessarily preserve the identity (or exact value) of the original object.

 Applications in the .NET Framework can use the <xref:System.Console?displayProperty=nameWithType> class to read characters from and write characters to the console. Data from the console is read from the standard input stream, data to the console is written to the standard output stream, and error data to the console is written to the standard error output stream.

 # .NET Class Library Overview
 .NET implementations include classes, interfaces, delegates, and value types that expedite and optimize the development process and provide access to system functionality. To facilitate interoperability between languages, most .NET types are CLS-compliant and can therefore be used from any programming language whose compiler conforms to the common language specification (CLS).

 # How to: Create an Object Pool by Using a ConcurrentBag
 This example shows how to use a concurrent bag to implement an object pool. Object pools can improve application performance in situations where you require multiple instances of a class and the class is expensive to create or destroy. When a client program requests a new object, the object pool first attempts to provide one that has already been created and returned to the pool. If none is available, only then is a new object created.

 # How to: Use ForEach to Remove Items in a BlockingCollection
 In addition to taking items from a <xref:System.Collections.Concurrent.BlockingCollection%601> by using the <xref:System.Collections.Concurrent.BlockingCollection%601.Take%2A> and <xref:System.Collections.Concurrent.BlockingCollection%601.TryTake%2A> method, you can also use a [foreach](~/docs/csharp/language-reference/keywords/foreach-in.md) ([For Each](~/docs/visual-basic/language-reference/statements/for-each-next-statement.md) in Visual Basic) to remove items until adding is completed and the collection is empty. This is called a *mutating enumeration* or *consuming enumeration* because, unlike a typical `foreach` (`For Each`) loop, this enumerator modifies the source collection by removing items.

 # Thread-Safe Collections
 The [!INCLUDE[net_v40_short](../../../../includes/net-v40-short-md.md)] introduces the <xref:System.Collections.Concurrent?displayProperty=nameWithType> namespace, which includes several collection classes that are both thread-safe and scalable. Multiple threads can safely and efficiently add or remove items from these collections, without requiring additional synchronization in user code. When you write new code, use the concurrent collection classes whenever the collection will be writing to multiple threads concurrently. If you are only reading from a shared collection, then you can use the classes in the <xref:System.Collections.Generic?displayProperty=nameWithType> namespace. We recommend that you do not use 1.0 collection classes unless you are required to target the .NET Framework 1.1 or earlier runtime.

 # When to Use a Thread-Safe Collection
 The [!INCLUDE[net_v40_long](../../../../includes/net-v40-long-md.md)] introduces five new collection types that are specially designed to support multi-threaded add and remove operations. To achieve thread-safety, these new types use various kinds of efficient locking and lock-free synchronization mechanisms. Synchronization adds overhead to an operation. The amount of overhead depends on the kind of synchronization that is used, the kind of operations that are performed, and other factors such as the number of threads that are trying to concurrently access the collection.

 # When to Use Generic Collections
 Using generic collections is generally recommended, because you gain the immediate benefit of type safety without having to derive from a base collection type and implement type-specific members. Generic collection types also generally perform better than the corresponding nongeneric collection types (and better than types that are derived from nongeneric base collection types) when the collection elements are value types, because with generics there is no need to box the elements.

 # Passing a URI to the Windows Runtime
 Windows Runtime methods accept only absolute URIs. If you pass a relative URI to a [!INCLUDE[wrt](../../../includes/wrt-md.md)] method, an <xref:System.ArgumentException> exception is thrown. Here's why: When you use the [!INCLUDE[wrt](../../../includes/wrt-md.md)] in .NET Framework code, the <xref:Windows.Foundation.Uri?displayProperty=nameWithType> class appears as <xref:System.Uri?displayProperty=nameWithType> in Intellisense. The <xref:System.Uri?displayProperty=nameWithType> class allows relative URIs, but the <xref:Windows.Foundation.Uri?displayProperty=nameWithType> class does not. This is also true for methods you expose in [!INCLUDE[wrt](../../../includes/wrt-md.md)] Components. If your component exposes a method that takes a URI, the signature in your code includes <xref:System.Uri?displayProperty=nameWithType>. However, to users of your component, the signature includes <xref:Windows.Foundation.Uri?displayProperty=nameWithType>. A URI that is passed to your component must be an absolute URI.

 # Accessing Attributes in the DOM
 Attributes are properties of the element, not children of the element. This distinction is important because of the methods used to navigate sibling, parent, and child nodes of the XML Document Object Model (DOM). For example, the **PreviousSibling** and **NextSibling** methods are not used to navigate from an element to an attribute or between attributes. Instead, an attribute is a property of an element and is owned by an element, has an **OwnerElement** property and not a **parentNode** property, and has distinct methods of navigation.

 # Accessing Strongly Typed XML Data Using XPathNavigator
 As an instance of the XPath 2.0 data model, the <xref:System.Xml.XPath.XPathNavigator> class can contain strongly-typed data that maps to common language runtime (CLR) types. According to the XPath 2.0 data model, only elements and attributes can contain strongly-typed data. The <xref:System.Xml.XPath.XPathNavigator> class provides mechanisms for accessing data within an <xref:System.Xml.XPath.XPathDocument> or <xref:System.Xml.XmlDocument> object as strongly-typed data as well as mechanisms for converting from one data type to another.

 # Changing Namespace Declarations in an XML Document
 The **XmlDocument** exposes namespace declarations and **xmlns** attributes as part of the document object model. These are stored in the **XmlDocument**, so when you save the document, it can preserve the location of those attributes. Changing these attributes has no affect on the **Name**, **NamespaceURI**, and **Prefix** properties of other nodes already in the tree. For example, if you load the following document, then the `test` element has **NamespaceURI** `123.`

 # Copy Existing Nodes
 There are many methods and properties in the XML Document Object Model (DOM)you can use to select a node, such as **SelectSingleNode**, **ChildNodes[int i]**, **Attributes[int i]**. Once the node is selected, you can insert it into the tree using one of the insert methods that work for that particular node type. The only restriction to inserting a node into the tree is that the document must still be well-formed after the node is inserted. When an existing node is inserted into the DOM tree, it is removed from its original position and added to its target position.

 # Copying Existing Nodes from One Document to Another
 The **ImportNode** method is the mechanism by which a node or entire node subtree is copied from one **XmlDocument** to another. The node returned from the call is a copy of the node from the source document, including attribute values, the node name, node type, and all namespace-related attributes such as the prefix, local name, and namespace Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). The source document is not changed. After you have imported the node, you still have to add it to the tree using one of the methods used to insert nodes.

 # Creating New Entity References
 The **CreateEntityReference** method creates a new **XmlEntityReference** node. The XML Document Object Model (DOM) looks to see if the entity name being referenced has already been declared. If it has, the child nodes of **XmlEntityReference** node are copied from the entity declaration node. If there is no entity declaration that matches, an empty text node is attached as the only child of the entity reference node. Because the child nodes of the **XmlEntityReference** node are copies of other nodes, these child nodes are read-only and cannot be modified.

 # Dynamic Updates to NodeLists and NamedNodeMaps
 Because the **XmlNodeList** and the **XmlNamedNodeMap** contain a set of nodes, yet the XML document is loaded into memory and is being modified, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) states that these objects that contain sets of nodes need to be dynamic. That is, if the underlying document changes, then the data in these two objects should change also. Therefore, if you have an **XmlNodeList** that contains all the child elements of a particular element (for example, element X), then you add an additional element, element Q, to the document under element X. The **XmlNodeList** should also have that new element Q added to its collection. The same is true in reverse. If a node is added to the **XmlNodeList**, the underlying document is updated as well.

 # Entity References are Expanded and Not Preserved
 When the entity reference is expanded and replaced by the text it represents, the **XmlEntityReference** node is not created. Instead, the entity declaration is parsed, and nodes created from the content in the declaration are copied in the place of the **XmlEntityReference**. Therefore, in the `&publisher;` example, the `&publisher;` is not saved, but instead, an **XmlText** node is created.

 # How to: Transform a Node Fragment
 When you transform data contained in an <xref:System.Xml.XmlDocument> or <xref:System.Xml.XPath.XPathDocument> object the XSLT transformations apply to a document as a whole. In other words, if you pass in a node other than the document root node, this does not prevent the transformation process from accessing all nodes in the loaded document. To transform a node fragment, you must create a separate object containing just the node fragment, and pass that object to the <xref:System.Xml.Xsl.XslCompiledTransform.Transform%2A> method.

 If an XML document is loaded using the <xref:System.Xml.XmlDocument.Load%2A> method and a parameter of an <xref:System.Xml.XmlReader>, there are differences in the behavior that occurs when compared to the behavior of loading data from the other formats. If the reader is in its initial state, <xref:System.Xml.XmlDocument.Load%2A> consumes the entire contents from the reader and builds the XML Document Object Model (DOM) from all the data in the reader.

 # Managing Namespaces in an XML Document
 XML namespaces associate element and attribute names in an XML document with custom and predefined URIs. To create these associations, you define prefixes for namespace URIs, and use those prefixes to qualify element and attribute names in XML data. Namespaces prevent element and attribute name collisions, and enable elements and attributes of the same name to be handled and validated differently.

 # Namespace Support in the DOM
 The XML Document Object Model (DOM) is completely namespace-aware. Only namespace-aware XML documents are supported. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) specifies that DOM applications that implement Level 1 can be non-namespace-aware, and DOM Level 2 features are namespace-aware. However, all features in the XML DOM are namespace-aware, regardless if the method is from the Level 1 or Level 2 DOM Recommendation.

 # Node Collections in NamedNodeMaps and NodeLists
 You can retrieve a set of nodes and put it in an ordered or unordered collection. When putting a set of nodes into an unordered collection, the set is called a NamedNodeMap by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C); you can retrieve the data by name or index in this type of collection. Putting a set of nodes in an ordered collection is called a NodeList by the W3C, and the data can be retrieved by a zero-based index. NamedNodeMaps and NodeLists are described by the W3C. The implementations in the Microsoft .NET Framework for the NamedNodeMap is the **XmlNamedNodeMap**, and the NodeList is implemented by the **XmlNodeList**.

 # Object Comparison Using XmlNameTable
 **XmlDocuments**, when created, have a name table created specifically for that document. When XML is loaded into the document, or new elements or attributes are created, the attribute and element names are put into the **XmlNameTable**. You can also create an **XmlDocument** using an existing **NameTable** from another document. When **XmlDocuments** are created with the constructor that takes an **XmlNameTable** parameter, the document has access to the node names, namespaces, and prefixes already stored in the **XmlNameTable**. Regardless of how the name table is loaded with names, once the names are stored in the table, names can be compared quickly using object comparison instead of string comparison. Strings can also be added to the name table using the <xref:System.Xml.NameTable.Add%2A>. The following code sample shows a name table being created and the string **MyString** being added to the table. After that, an **XmlDocument** is created using that table, and the element and attribute names in **Myfile.xml** are added to the existing name table.

The XML Schema Object Model (SOM) views this exposure before and after the <xref:System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaSet.Compile%2A> method of the <xref:System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaSet> is called.

 # Process XML Data Using LINQ to XML
 LINQ to XML is the new model in the .NET Framework version 3.5 for processing XML data. LINQ to XML allows developers to do everything they would expect with XML data: querying, modifying, creating, saving, and serializing XML documents. The real advantages lie in the query and creation capabilities.

 # Process XML Data Using the DOM Model
 The XML Document Object Model (DOM) treats XML data as a standard set of objects and is used to process XML data in memory. The `System.Xml` namespace provides a programmatic representation of XML documents, fragments, nodes, or node-sets. It is based on the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) DOM Level 1 Core and the DOM Level 2 Core recommendations.

 # Reading Entity Declarations and Entity References into the DOM
 An entity is a declaration that states a name to be used in the XML in place of content or markup. There are two parts to entities. First, you must tie a name to the replacement content using an entity declaration. An entity declaration is created by using the `<!ENTITY name "value">` syntax in a document type definition (DTD) or XML schema. Secondly, the name defined in the entity declaration is subsequently used in the XML. When used in the XML, it is called an entity reference. For example, the following entity declaration declares an entity of the name `publisher` being associated with the content of "Microsoft Press".

 # Recoverable XSLT Errors
 The W3C XSL Transformations (XSLT) Version 1.0 Recommendation includes areas in which the implementation provider may decide how to handle a situation. These areas are considered to be discretionary behavior. For example, in section 7.3 Creating Processing Instructions, the XSLT 1.0 recommendation states that it is an error if instantiating the content of `xsl:processing-instruction` creates nodes other than text nodes. For some problems, the XSLT 1.0 recommendation indicates what decision should be made if the processor decides to recover from the error. For the problem given in section 7.3, the W3C says that the implementation can recover from this error by ignoring the nodes and their content.

 # Removing Node Content in the DOM
 For node types that inherit from <xref:System.Xml.XmlCharacterData>, which are the <xref:System.Xml.XmlComment>, <xref:System.Xml.XmlText>, <xref:System.Xml.XmlCDataSection>, <xref:System.Xml.XmlWhitespace>, and <xref:System.Xml.XmlSignificantWhitespace> node types, you can remove characters using the <xref:System.Xml.XmlCharacterData.DeleteData%2A> method, which removes a range of characters from the node. If you want to remove content completely, you remove the node that contains the content. If you want to keep the node, but the content is incorrect, then modify the content. For information on modifying the content of a node, see [Modifying Nodes, Content, and Values in an XML Document](../../../../docs/standard/data/xml/modifying-nodes-content-and-values-in-an-xml-document.md).

 # Resolving External Resources
 The **XmlResolver** property of the **XmlDocument** is used by the **XmlDocument** class to locate resources that are not inline in the XML data, such as external document type definitions (DTDs), entities, and schemas. These items can be located on a network or on a local drive, and are identifiable by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). This allows the **XmlDocument** to resolve **EntityReference** nodes that are present in the document and validate the document according to the external DTD or schema.

 # Style Sheet Directives Embedded in a Document
 Occasionally, existing XML contains the style sheet directive of `<?xml:stylesheet?>`. Microsoft Internet Explorer accepts this as an alternative to the `<?xml-stylesheet?>` syntax. When the XML data contains an `<?xml:stylesheet?>` directive, as shown in the following data, attempting to load this data into the XML Document Object Model (DOM) throws an exception.

 # Types of XML Nodes
 When an XML document is read into memory as a tree of nodes, the node types for the nodes are decided when the nodes are created. The XML Document Object Model (DOM) has several kinds of node types, determined by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and listed in section 1.1.1 The DOM Structure Model. The following table lists the node types, the object assigned to that node type, and a short description of each.

 When loading the document, you can set the option to preserve white space and create **XmlWhitespace** nodes in the document tree. To create white space nodes, set the **PreserveWhitespace** property to true. If the property is set to **false**, which is the default, white space nodes are not created. Significant white spaces nodes are always preserved, and **XmlSignificantWhitespace** nodes are always created in memory to represent this data, regardless of the setting of the **PreserveWhitespace** flag.

 # Working with XML Schemas
 To define the structure of an XML document, as well as its element relationships, data types, and content constraints, you use a document type definition (DTD) or XML Schema definition language (XSD) schema. Although an XML document is considered to be well-formed if it meets all the syntactical requirements defined by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 Recommendation, it is not considered valid unless it is both well-formed and conforms to the constraints defined by its DTD or schema. Therefore, although all valid XML documents are well-formed, not all well-formed XML documents are valid.

 # XML Document Object Model (DOM)
 The XML Document Object Model (DOM) class is an in-memory representation of an XML document. The DOM allows you to programmatically read, manipulate, and modify an XML document. The **XmlReader** class also reads XML; however, it provides non-cached, forward-only, read-only access. This means that there are no capabilities to edit the values of an attribute or content of an element, or the ability to insert and remove nodes with the **XmlReader**. Editing is the primary function of the DOM. It is the common and structured way that XML data is represented in memory, although the actual XML data is stored in a linear fashion when in a file or coming in from another object. The following is XML data.

 # XML Element and Attribute Name Verification when Creating New Nodes
 The XML Document Object Model (DOM) checks the validity of the names when creating new element nodes or attribute nodes. If the names contain illegal characters, an exception is thrown. To ensure that names are valid and encoded correctly, you need to use the **XmlConvert** class to encode the name and decode it back at an application level. The **XmlWriter** has methods that do additional work to ensure well-formed XML is generated.

 # XML Integration with Relational Data and ADO.NET
 The **XmlDataDocument** class is a derived class of the **XmlDocument**, and contains XML data. The advantage of the **XmlDataDocument** is that it provides a bridge between relational and hierarchical data. It is an **XmlDocument** that can be bound to a **DataSet** and both classes can synchronize changes made to data contained in the two classes. An **XmlDocument** that is bound to a **DataSet** allows XML to integrate with relational data, and you do not have to have your data represented as either XML or in a relational format. You can do both and not be constrained to a single representation of the data.

 # XML Schema Object Model Overview
 The Schema Object Model (SOM) in the Microsoft .NET Framework is a rich API that allows you to create, edit, and validate schemas programmatically. The SOM operates on XML schema documents similarly to the way the Document Object Model (DOM) operates on XML documents. XML schema documents are valid XML files that, once loaded into the SOM, convey meaning about the structure and validity of other XML documents which conform to the schema.

 # XML Schema Object Model (SOM)
 An XML schema is a powerful and complex tool for creating and validating structure in compliant XML documents. Similar to data modeling in a relational database, a schema provides a way to define the structure of XML documents, by specifying the elements that can be used in the documents, as well as the structure and types that these elements must follow in order to be valid for that specific schema.

 # XML Schema (XSD) Validation with XmlSchemaCollection
 You can use the <xref:System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaCollection> to validate an XML document against XML Schema definition language (XSD) schemas. The <xref:System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaCollection> improves performance by storing schemas in the collection so they are not loaded into memory each time validation occurs. If the schema exists in the schema collection, the `schemaLocation` attribute is used to look up the schema in the collection.

 # XPath Namespace Navigation
 To use XPath queries with XML documents, you have to correctly address XML namespaces and the elements contained by namespaces. Namespaces prevent ambiguities that can occur when names are used in more than one context; for example, the name `ID` may refer to more than one identifier associated with different elements of an XML document. Namespace syntax specifies URIs, names, and prefixes that distinguish the elements of an XML document.

 # XPath Queries and Namespaces
 XPath queries are aware of namespaces in an XML document and can use namespace prefixes to qualify element and attribute names. Qualifying element and attribute names with a namespace prefix limits the nodes returned by an XPath query to only those nodes that belong to a specific namespace.

 # XPathNodeIterator in Transformations
 The <xref:System.Xml.XPath.XPathNodeIterator> provides methods to iterate over a set of nodes created as the result of an XML Path Language (XPath) query or a result tree fragment converted to a node set by use of the node-set method. The <xref:System.Xml.XPath.XPathNodeIterator> enables you to iterate over the nodes within that node set. Once a node set is retrieved, the <xref:System.Xml.XPath.XPathNodeIterator> class provides a read-only, forward-only cursor to the selected set of nodes. The node set is created in document order, so calling this method moves to the next node in document order. <xref:System.Xml.XPath.XPathNodeIterator> does not build a node tree of all the nodes in the set. Instead, it provides a single node window into the data, exposing the underlying node it points to as you move around in the tree. The methods and properties available from the <xref:System.Xml.XPath.XPathNodeIterator> class enable you to get information from the current node. For a list of the available methods and properties, see <xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolBar>.

 # XSLT Security Considerations
 The XSLT language has a rich set of features that give you a great deal of power and flexibility. It includes many features that, while useful, could also be exploited by outside sources. In order to use XSLT safely, you must understand the types of security issues that arise when using XSLT, and the basic strategies that you can employ to mitigate these risks.

 # XSLT Transformations
 The Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT) lets you transform the content of a source XML document into another document that is different in format or structure. For example, you can use XSLT to transform XML into HTML for use on a Web site or to transform it into a document that contains only the fields required by an application. This transformation process is specified by the [W3C XSL Transformations (XSLT) Version 1.0 recommendation](https://www.w3.org/TR/xslt-10/).

 # Abstractions (Abstract Types and Interfaces)
 An abstraction is a type that describes a contract but does not provide a full implementation of the contract. Abstractions are usually implemented as abstract classes or interfaces, and they come with a well-defined set of reference documentation describing the required semantics of the types implementing the contract. Some of the most important abstractions in the .NET Framework include <xref:System.IO.Stream>, <xref:System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable%601>, and <xref:System.Object>.

 # Base Classes for Implementing Abstractions
 Strictly speaking, a class becomes a base class when another class is derived from it. For the purpose of this section, however, a base class is a class designed mainly to provide a common abstraction or for other classes to reuse some default implementation though inheritance. Base classes usually sit in the middle of inheritance hierarchies, between an abstraction at the root of a hierarchy and several custom implementations at the bottom.

 # Designing for Extensibility
 One important aspect of designing a framework is making sure the extensibility of the framework has been carefully considered. This requires that you understand the costs and benefits associated with various extensibility mechanisms. This chapter helps you decide which of the extensibility mechanisms—subclassing, events, virtual members, callbacks, and so on—can best meet the requirements of your framework.

 All programs acquire one or more system resources, such as memory, system handles, or database connections, during the course of their execution. Developers have to be careful when using such system resources, because they must be released after they have been acquired and used.

 # Event Design
 Events are the most commonly used form of callbacks (constructs that allow the framework to call into user code). Other callback mechanisms include members taking delegates, virtual members, and interface-based plug-ins. Data from usability studies indicate that the majority of developers are more comfortable using events than they are using the other callback mechanisms. Events are nicely integrated with Visual Studio and many languages.

 # Exception Throwing
 Exception-throwing guidelines described in this section require a good definition of the meaning of execution failure. Execution failure occurs whenever a member cannot do what it was designed to do (what the member name implies). For example, if the `OpenFile` method cannot return an opened file handle to the caller, it would be considered an execution failure.

 # Exceptions and Performance
 One common concern related to exceptions is that if exceptions are used for code that routinely fails, the performance of the implementation will be unacceptable. This is a valid concern. When a member throws an exception, its performance can be orders of magnitude slower. However, it is possible to achieve good performance while strictly adhering to the exception guidelines that disallow using error codes. Two patterns described in this section suggest ways to do this.

 # Guidelines for Collections
 Any type designed specifically to manipulate a group of objects having some common characteristic can be considered a collection. It is almost always appropriate for such types to implement <xref:System.Collections.IEnumerable> or <xref:System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable%601>, so in this section we only consider types implementing one or both of those interfaces to be collections.

 # Framework Design Guidelines
 This section provides guidelines for designing libraries that extend and interact with the .NET Framework. The goal is to help library designers ensure API consistency and ease of use by providing a unified programming model that is independent of the programming language used for development. We recommend that you follow these design guidelines when developing classes and components that extend the .NET Framework. Inconsistent library design adversely affects developer productivity and discourages adoption.

 # Naming Guidelines
 Following a consistent set of naming conventions in the development of a framework can be a major contribution to the framework’s usability. It allows the framework to be used by many developers on widely separated projects. Beyond consistency of form, names of framework elements must be easily understood and must convey the function of each element.

 # Sealing
 One of the features of object-oriented frameworks is that developers can extend and customize them in ways unanticipated by the framework designers. This is both the power and danger of extensible design. When you design your framework, it is, therefore, very important to carefully design for extensibility when it is desired, and to limit extensibility when it is dangerous.

 A static class is defined as a class that contains only static members (of course besides the instance members inherited from <xref:System.Object?displayProperty=nameWithType> and possibly a private constructor). Some languages provide built-in support for static classes. In C# 2.0 and later, when a class is declared to be static, it is sealed, abstract, and no instance members can be overridden or declared.

 # Virtual Members
 Virtual members can be overridden, thus changing the behavior of the subclass. They are quite similar to callbacks in terms of the extensibility they provide, but they are better in terms of execution performance and memory consumption. Also, virtual members feel more natural in scenarios that require creating a special kind of an existing type (specialization).

 # How to: Consume Events in a Web Forms Application
 A common scenario in ASP.NET Web Forms applications is to populate a webpage with controls, and then perform a specific action based on which control the user clicks. For example, a <xref:System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button?displayProperty=nameWithType> control raises an event when the user clicks it in the webpage. By handling the event, your application can perform the appropriate application logic for that button click.

 # How to: Handle Multiple Events Using Event Properties
 To use event properties, you define the event properties in the class that raises the events, and then set the delegates for the event properties in classes that handle the events. To implement multiple event properties in a class, the class must internally store and maintain the delegate defined for each event. A typical approach is to implement a delegate collection that is indexed by an event key.

 # Handling and Raising Events
 Events in the .NET Framework are based on the delegate model. The delegate model follows the observer design pattern, which enables a subscriber to register with, and receive notifications from, a provider. An event sender pushes a notification that an event has happened, and an event receiver receives that notification and defines a response to it. This article describes the major components of the delegate model, how to consume events in applications, and how to implement events in your code.

 # Observer Design Pattern Best Practices
 In the .NET Framework, the observer design pattern is implemented as a set of interfaces. The <xref:System.IObservable%601?displayProperty=nameWithType> interface represents the data provider, which is also responsible for providing an <xref:System.IDisposable> implementation that lets observers unsubscribe from notifications. The <xref:System.IObserver%601?displayProperty=nameWithType> interface represents the observer. This topic describes the best practices that developers should follow when implementing the observer design pattern using these interfaces.

 # Observer Design Pattern
 The observer design pattern enables a subscriber to register with and receive notifications from a provider. It is suitable for any scenario that requires push-based notification. The pattern defines a *provider* (also known as a *subject* or an *observable*) and zero, one, or more *observers*. Observers register with the provider, and whenever a predefined condition, event, or state change occurs, the provider automatically notifies all observers by calling one of their methods. In this method call, the provider can also provide current state information to observers. In the .NET Framework, the observer design pattern is applied by implementing the generic <xref:System.IObservable%601?displayProperty=nameWithType> and <xref:System.IObserver%601?displayProperty=nameWithType> interfaces. The generic type parameter represents the type that provides notification information.

 # Handling COM Interop Exceptions
 Managed and unmanaged code can work together to handle exceptions. If a method throws an exception in managed code, the common language runtime can pass an HRESULT to a COM object. If a method fails in unmanaged code by returning a failure HRESULT, the runtime throws an exception that can be caught by managed code.

 # Application Domain Resource Monitoring
 Application domain resource monitoring (ARM) enables hosts to monitor CPU and memory usage by application domain. This is useful for hosts such as ASP.NET that use many application domains in a long-running process. The host can unload the application domain of an application that is adversely affecting the performance of the entire process, but only if it can identify the problematic application. ARM provides information that can be used to assist in making such decisions.

 # Garbage Collection
 .NET's garbage collector manages the allocation and release of memory for your application. Each time you create a new object, the common language runtime allocates memory for the object from the managed heap. As long as address space is available in the managed heap, the runtime continues to allocate space for new objects. However, memory is not infinite. Eventually the garbage collector must perform a collection in order to free some memory. The garbage collector's optimizing engine determines the best time to perform a collection, based upon the allocations being made. When the garbage collector performs a collection, it checks for objects in the managed heap that are no longer being used by the application and performs the necessary operations to reclaim their memory.

 # Induced Collections
 In most cases, the garbage collector can determine the best time to perform a collection, and you should let it run independently. There are rare situations when a forced collection might improve your application's performance.

 # Latency Modes
 To reclaim objects, the garbage collector must stop all the executing threads in an application. In some situations, such as when an application retrieves data or displays content, a full garbage collection can occur at a critical time and impede performance. You can adjust the intrusiveness of the garbage collector by setting the <xref:System.Runtime.GCSettings.LatencyMode%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> property to one of the <xref:System.Runtime.GCLatencyMode?displayProperty=nameWithType> values.

 # Garbage Collection Notifications
 There are situations in which a full garbage collection (that is, a generation 2 collection) by the common language runtime may adversely affect performance. This can be an issue particularly with servers that process large volumes of requests; in this case, a long garbage collection can cause a request time-out. To prevent a full collection from occurring during a critical period, you can be notified that a full garbage collection is approaching and then take action to redirect the workload to another server instance. You can also induce a collection yourself, provided that the current server instance does not need to process requests.

 # Cleaning Up Unmanaged Resources
 For the majority of the objects that your app creates, you can rely on .NET's garbage collector to handle memory management. However, when you create objects that include unmanaged resources, you must explicitly release those resources when you finish using them in your app. The most common types of unmanaged resource are objects that wrap operating system resources, such as files, windows, network connections, or database connections. Although the garbage collector is able to track the lifetime of an object that encapsulates an unmanaged resource, it doesn't know how to release and clean up the unmanaged resource.

 # Covariance and Contravariance in Generics
 <a name="top"></a> Covariance and contravariance are terms that refer to the ability to use a more derived type (more specific) or a less derived type (less specific) than originally specified. Generic type parameters support covariance and contravariance to provide greater flexibility in assigning and using generic types. When you are referring to a type system, covariance, contravariance, and invariance have the following definitions. The examples assume a base class named `Base` and a derived class named `Derived`.

 # Globalization
 Globalization involves designing and developing a world-ready app that supports localized interfaces and regional data for users in multiple cultures. Before beginning the design phase, you should determine which cultures your app will support. Although an app targets a single culture or region as its default, you can design and write it so that it can easily be extended to users in other cultures or regions.

 # Globalizing and Localizing .NET Framework Applications

 # Localizability Review
 The localizability review is an intermediate step in the development of a world-ready application. It verifies that a globalized application is ready for localization and identifies any code or any aspects of the user interface that require special handling. This step also helps ensure that the localization process will not introduce any functional defects into your application. When all the issues raised by the localizability review have been addressed, your application is ready for localization. If the localizability review is thorough, you should not have to modify any source code during the localization process.

 Localization is the process of translating an application's resources into localized versions for each culture that the application will support. You should proceed to the localization step only after completing the [Localizability Review](../../../docs/standard/globalization-localization/localizability-review.md) step to verify that the globalized application is ready for localization.

By default, these overloads without parameters perform case changes based on the value of the <xref:System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType>. This produces case-sensitive results that can vary by culture. To make it clear whether you want case changes to be culture-sensitive or culture-insensitive, you should use the overloads of these methods that require you to explicitly specify a `culture` parameter. For culture-sensitive case changes, specify `CultureInfo.CurrentCulture` for the `culture` parameter. For culture-insensitive case changes, specify `CultureInfo.InvariantCulture` for the `culture` parameter.

 # Performing Culture-Insensitive String Comparisons
 By default, the <xref:System.String.Compare%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> method performs culture-sensitive and case-sensitive comparisons. This method also includes several overloads that provide a `culture` parameter that lets you specify the culture to use, and a `comparisonType` parameter that lets you specify the comparison rules to use. Calling these methods instead of the default overload removes any ambiguity about the rules used in a particular method call, and makes it clear whether a particular comparison is culture-sensitive or culture-insensitive.

 # Performing Culture-Insensitive String Operations in Arrays
 Overloads of the <xref:System.Array.Sort%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> and <xref:System.Array.BinarySearch%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> methods perform culture-sensitive sorts by default using the <xref:System.Threading.Thread.CurrentCulture%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> property. Culture-sensitive results returned by these methods can vary by culture due to differences in sort orders. To eliminate culture-sensitive behavior, use one of the overloads of this method that accepts a `comparer` parameter. The `comparer` parameter specifies the <xref:System.Collections.IComparer> implementation to use when comparing elements in the array. For the parameter, specify a custom invariant comparer class that uses <xref:System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType>. An example of a custom invariant comparer class is provided in the "Using the SortedList Class" subtopic of the [Performing Culture-Insensitive String Operations in Collections](../../../docs/standard/globalization-localization/performing-culture-insensitive-string-operations-in-collections.md) topic.

 # Performing Culture-Insensitive String Operations in Collections
 There are classes and members in the <xref:System.Collections> namespace that provide culture-sensitive behavior by default. The default constructors for the <xref:System.Collections.CaseInsensitiveComparer> and <xref:System.Collections.CaseInsensitiveHashCodeProvider> classes initialize a new instance using the <xref:System.Threading.Thread.CurrentCulture%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> property. All overloads of the <xref:System.Collections.Specialized.CollectionsUtil.CreateCaseInsensitiveHashtable%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> method create a new instance of the <xref:System.Collections.Hashtable> class using the `Thread.CurrentCulture` property by default. Overloads of the <xref:System.Collections.ArrayList.Sort%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> method perform culture-sensitive sorts by default using `Thread.CurrentCulture`. Sorting and lookup in a <xref:System.Collections.SortedList> can be affected by `Thread.CurrentCulture` when strings are used as the keys. Follow the usage recommendations provided in this section to obtain culture-insensitive results from these classes and methods in the `Collections` namespace.

 # Asynchronous File I/O
 Asynchronous operations enable you to perform resource-intensive I/O operations without blocking the main thread. This performance consideration is particularly important in a [!INCLUDE[win8_appname_long](../../../includes/win8-appname-long-md.md)] app or [!INCLUDE[desktop_appname](../../../includes/desktop-appname-md.md)] app where a time-consuming stream operation can block the UI thread and make your app appear as if it is not working.

 # Composing Streams
 A backing store is a storage medium, such as a disk or memory. Each different backing store implements its own stream as an implementation of the <xref:System.IO.Stream> class. Each stream type reads and writes bytes from and to its given backing store. Streams that connect to backing stores are called base streams. Base streams have constructors that have the parameters necessary to connect the stream to the backing store. For example, <xref:System.IO.FileStream> has constructors that specify a path parameter, which specifies how the file will be shared by processes, and so on.

 # How to: Anticipate Out-of-Space Conditions with Isolated Storage
 Code that uses isolated storage is constrained by a [quota](../../../docs/standard/io/isolated-storage.md#quotas) that specifies the maximum size for the data compartment in which isolated storage files and directories exist. The quota is defined by security policy and is configurable by administrators. If the maximum allowed size is exceeded when you try to write data, an <xref:System.IO.IsolatedStorage.IsolatedStorageException> exception is thrown and the operation fails. This helps prevent malicious denial-of-service attacks that could cause the application to refuse requests because data storage is filled.

 # How to: Convert Between .NET Framework Streams and Windows Runtime Streams
 The .NET Framework for Windows Store apps is a subset of the full .NET Framework. Because of security and other requirements for Windows Store apps, you cannot use the full set of .NET Framework APIs to open and read files. For more information, see [.NET for Windows Store apps overview](http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/apps/br230302.aspx). However, you may want to use .NET Framework APIs for other stream manipulation operations. To manipulate these streams, you may find it necessary to convert between a .NET Framework stream type such as <xref:System.IO.MemoryStream> or <xref:System.IO.FileStream>, and a Windows Runtime stream such as [IInputStream](http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/apps/windows.storage.streams.iinputstream.aspx), [IOutputStream](http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/apps/windows.storage.streams.ioutputstream.aspx), or [IRandomAccessStream](http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/apps/windows.storage.streams.irandomaccessstream.aspx).

 # How to: Copy Directories
 This example demonstrates how to use I/O classes to synchronously copy the contents of a directory to another location. In this example, the user can specify whether to also copy the subdirectories. If the subdirectories are copied, the method in this example recursively copies them by calling itself on each subsequent subdirectory until there are no more to copy.

 # How to: Enumerate Stores for Isolated Storage

This  method takes an <xref:System.IO.IsolatedStorage.IsolatedStorageScope> value and returns an <xref:System.IO.IsolatedStorage.IsolatedStorageFile> enumerator. To enumerate stores, you must have the <xref:System.Security.Permissions.IsolatedStorageFilePermission> permission that specifies the <xref:System.Security.Permissions.IsolatedStorageContainment.AdministerIsolatedStorageByUser> value. If you call the <xref:System.IO.IsolatedStorage.IsolatedStorageFile.GetEnumerator%2A> method with the <xref:System.IO.IsolatedStorage.IsolatedStorageScope.User> value, it returns an array of <xref:System.IO.IsolatedStorage.IsolatedStorageFile> objects that are defined for the current user.

 # How to: Find Existing Files and Directories in Isolated Storage
 To search for a directory in isolated storage, use the <xref:System.IO.IsolatedStorage.IsolatedStorageFile.GetDirectoryNames%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> method. This method takes a string that represents a search pattern. You can use both single-character (?) and multi-character (*) wildcard characters in the search pattern, but the wildcard characters must appear in the final portion of the name. For example, `directory1/*ect*` is a valid search string, but `*ect*/directory2` is not.

After creating the data file in the current directory, the associated <xref:System.IO.BinaryWriter> and <xref:System.IO.BinaryReader> objects are created, and the <xref:System.IO.BinaryWriter> object is used to write the integers 0 through 10 to `Test.data`, which leaves the file pointer at the end of the file.

 # How to: Use Named Pipes for Network Interprocess Communication
 Named pipes provide interprocess communication between a pipe server and one or more pipe clients. They offer more functionality than anonymous pipes, which provide interprocess communication on a local computer. Named pipes support full duplex communication over a network and multiple server instances, message-based communication, and client impersonation, which enables connecting processes to use their own set of permissions on remote servers.

 # File and Stream I/O
 File and stream I/O (input/output) refers to the transfer of data either to or from a storage medium. In the .NET Framework, the `System.IO` namespaces contain types that enable reading and writing, both synchronously and asynchronously, on data streams and files. These namespaces also contain types that perform compression and decompression on files, and types that enable communication through pipes and serial ports.

 # Isolated Storage
 <a name="top"></a> For [!INCLUDE[desktop_appname](../../../includes/desktop-appname-md.md)] apps, isolated storage is a data storage mechanism that provides isolation and safety by defining standardized ways of associating code with saved data. Standardization provides other benefits as well. Administrators can use tools designed to manipulate isolated storage to configure file storage space, set security policies, and delete unused data. With isolated storage, your code no longer needs unique paths to specify safe locations in the file system, and data is protected from other applications that only have isolated storage access. Hard-coded information that indicates where an application's storage area is located is unnecessary.

 # Memory-Mapped Files
 A memory-mapped file contains the contents of a file in virtual memory. This mapping between a file and memory space enables an application, including multiple processes, to modify the file by reading and writing directly to the memory. Starting with the [!INCLUDE[net_v40_long](../../../includes/net-v40-long-md.md)], you can use managed code to access memory-mapped files in the same way that native Windows functions access memory-mapped files, as described in [Managing Memory-Mapped Files](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/ms810613.aspx).

 # Types of Isolation
 Access to isolated storage is always restricted to the user who created it. To implement this type of isolation, the common language runtime uses the same notion of user identity that the operating system recognizes, which is the identity associated with the process in which the code is running when the store is opened. This identity is an authenticated user identity, but impersonation can cause the identity of the current user to change dynamically.

 # Language Independence and Language-Independent Components
 The .NET Framework is language independent. This means that, as a developer, you can develop in one of the many languages that target the .NET Framework, such as C#, C++/CLI, Eiffel, F#, IronPython, IronRuby, PowerBuilder, Visual Basic, Visual COBOL, and Windows PowerShell. You can access the types and members of class libraries developed for the .NET Framework without having to know the language in which they were originally written and without having to follow any of the original language's conventions. If you are a component developer, your component can be accessed by any .NET Framework app regardless of its language.

 # Metadata and Self-Describing Components
 In the past, a software component (.exe or .dll) that was written in one language could not easily use a software component that was written in another language. COM provided a step towards solving this problem. The .NET Framework makes component interoperation even easier by allowing compilers to emit additional declarative information into all modules and assemblies. This information, called metadata, helps components to interact seamlessly.

 # Attached and Detached Child Tasks
 A *child task* (or *nested task*) is a <xref:System.Threading.Tasks.Task?displayProperty=nameWithType> instance that is created in the user delegate of another task, which is known as the *parent task*. A child task can be either detached or attached. A *detached child task* is a task that executes independently of its parent. An *attached child task* is a nested task that is created with the <xref:System.Threading.Tasks.TaskCreationOptions.AttachedToParent?displayProperty=nameWithType> option whose parent does not explicitly or by default prohibit it from being attached. A task may create any number of attached and detached child tasks, limited only by system resources.

 # Chaining Tasks by Using Continuation Tasks
 In asynchronous programming, it is very common for one asynchronous operation, on completion, to invoke a second operation and pass data to it. Traditionally, this has been done by using callback methods. In the Task Parallel Library, the same functionality is provided by *continuation tasks*. A continuation task (also known just as a continuation) is an asynchronous task that is invoked by another task, which is known as the *antecedent*, when the antecedent finishes.

 # Custom Partitioners for PLINQ and TPL
 To parallelize an operation on a data source, one of the essential steps is to *partition* the source into multiple sections that can be accessed concurrently by multiple threads. PLINQ and the Task Parallel Library (TPL) provide default partitioners that work transparently when you write a parallel query or <xref:System.Threading.Tasks.Parallel.ForEach%2A> loop. For more advanced scenarios, you can plug in your own partitioner.

 # Data Structures for Parallel Programming
 The .NET Framework version 4 introduces several new types that are useful in parallel programming, including a set of concurrent collection classes, lightweight synchronization primitives, and types for lazy initialization. You can use these types with any multithreaded application code, including the Task Parallel Library and PLINQ.

 # Dataflow (Task Parallel Library)
 <a name="top"></a> The Task Parallel Library (TPL) provides dataflow components to help increase the robustness of concurrency-enabled applications. These dataflow components are collectively referred to as the *TPL Dataflow Library*. This dataflow model promotes actor-based programming by providing in-process message passing for coarse-grained dataflow and pipelining tasks. The dataflow components build on the types and scheduling infrastructure of the TPL and integrate with the C#, Visual Basic, and F# language support for asynchronous programming. These dataflow components are useful when you have multiple operations that must communicate with one another asynchronously or when you want to process data as it becomes available. For example, consider an application that processes image data from a web camera. By using the dataflow model, the application can process image frames as they become available. If the application enhances image frames, for example, by performing light correction or red-eye reduction, you can create a *pipeline* of dataflow components. Each stage of the pipeline might use more coarse-grained parallelism functionality, such as the functionality that is provided by the TPL, to transform the image.

 # Exception Handling (Task Parallel Library)
 Unhandled exceptions that are thrown by user code that is running inside a task are propagated back to the calling thread, except in certain scenarios that are described later in this topic. Exceptions are propagated when you use one of the static or instance <xref:System.Threading.Tasks.Task.Wait%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> or <!--zz <xref:System.Threading.Tasks.Task%601.Wait%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType>  --> `Wait` methods, and you handle them by enclosing the call in a `try`/`catch` statement. If a task is the parent of attached child tasks, or if you are waiting on multiple tasks, multiple exceptions could be thrown.

 # How to: Create Pre-Computed Tasks
 This document describes how to use the <xref:System.Threading.Tasks.Task.FromResult%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> method to retrieve the results of asynchronous download operations that are held in a cache. The <xref:System.Threading.Tasks.Task.FromResult%2A> method returns a finished <xref:System.Threading.Tasks.Task%601> object that holds the provided value as its <xref:System.Threading.Tasks.Task%601.Result%2A> property. This method is useful when you perform an asynchronous operation that returns a <xref:System.Threading.Tasks.Task%601> object, and the result of that <xref:System.Threading.Tasks.Task%601> object is already computed.

 # How to: Handle Exceptions in a PLINQ Query
 The first example in this topic shows how to handle the <xref:System.AggregateException?displayProperty=nameWithType> that can be thrown from a PLINQ query when it executes. The second example shows how to put try-catch blocks within delegates, as close as possible to where the exception will be thrown. In this way, you can catch them as soon as they occur and possibly continue query execution. When exceptions are allowed to bubble up back to the joining thread, then it is possible that a query may continue to process some items after the exception is raised.

 # How to: Handle Exceptions in Parallel Loops
 The <xref:System.Threading.Tasks.Parallel.For%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> and <xref:System.Threading.Tasks.Parallel.ForEach%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> overloads do not have any special mechanism to handle exceptions that might be thrown. In this respect, they resemble regular `for` and `foreach` loops (`For` and `For Each` in Visual Basic); an unhandled exception causes the loop to terminate immediately.

 # How to: Implement a Partitioner for Static Partitioning
 The following example shows one way to implement a simple custom partitioner for PLINQ that performs static partitioning. Because the partitioner does not support dynamic partitions, it is not consumable from <xref:System.Threading.Tasks.Parallel.ForEach%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType>. This particular partitioner might provide speedup over the default range partitioner for data sources for which each element requires an increasing amount of processing time.

 # How to: Iterate File Directories with PLINQ
 This example shows two simple ways to parallelize operations on file directories. The first query uses the <xref:System.IO.Directory.GetFiles%2A> method to populate an array of file names in a directory and all subdirectories. This method does not return until the entire array is populated, and therefore it can introduce latency at the beginning of the operation. However, after the array is populated, PLINQ can process it in parallel very quickly.

 # How to: Iterate File Directories with the Parallel Class
 In many cases, file iteration is an operation that can be easily parallelized. The topic [How to: Iterate File Directories with PLINQ](../../../docs/standard/parallel-programming/how-to-iterate-file-directories-with-plinq.md) shows the easiest way to perform this task for many scenarios. However, complications can arise when your code has to deal with the many types of exceptions that can arise when accessing the file system. The following example shows one approach to the problem. It uses a stack-based iteration to traverse all files and folders under a specified directory, and it enables your code to catch and handle various exceptions. Of course, the way that you handle the exceptions is up to you.

 # How to: Speed Up Small Loop Bodies
 When a <xref:System.Threading.Tasks.Parallel.For%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> loop has a small body, it might perform more slowly than the equivalent sequential loop, such as the [for](~/docs/csharp/language-reference/keywords/for.md) loop in C# and the [For](http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/c470a263-9b49-4308-8fd6-8592b84a7980) loop in Visual Basic. Slower performance is caused by the overhead involved in partitioning the data and the cost of invoking a delegate on each loop iteration. To address such scenarios, the <xref:System.Collections.Concurrent.Partitioner> class provides the <xref:System.Collections.Concurrent.Partitioner.Create%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> method, which enables you to provide a sequential loop for the delegate body, so that the delegate is invoked only once per partition, instead of once per iteration. For more information, see [Custom Partitioners for PLINQ and TPL](../../../docs/standard/parallel-programming/custom-partitioners-for-plinq-and-tpl.md).

 # How to: Use Parallel.Invoke to Execute Parallel Operations
 This example shows how to parallelize operations by using <xref:System.Threading.Tasks.Parallel.Invoke%2A> in the Task Parallel Library. Three operations are performed on a shared data source. Because none of the operations modifies the source, they can be executed in parallel in a straightforward manner.

 # How to: Write a Parallel.For Loop with Thread-Local Variables
 This example shows how to use thread-local variables to store and retrieve state in each separate task that is created by a <xref:System.Threading.Tasks.Parallel.For%2A> loop. By using thread-local data, you can avoid the overhead of synchronizing a large number of accesses to shared state. Instead of writing to a shared resource on each iteration, you compute and store the value until all iterations for the task are complete. You can then write the final result once to the shared resource, or pass it to another method.

 # Lambda Expressions in PLINQ and TPL
 The Task Parallel Library (TPL) contains many methods that take one of the <xref:System.Func%601?displayProperty=nameWithType> or <xref:System.Action?displayProperty=nameWithType> family of delegates as input parameters. You use these delegates to pass in your custom program logic to the parallel loop, task or query. The code examples for TPL as well as PLINQ use lambda expressions to create instances of those delegates as inline code blocks. This topic provides a brief introduction to Func and Action and shows you how to use lambda expressions in the Task Parallel Library and PLINQ.

 # Merge Options in PLINQ
 When a query is executing as parallel, PLINQ partitions the source sequence so that multiple threads can work on different parts concurrently, typically on separate threads. If the results are to be consumed on one thread, for example, in a `foreach` (`For Each` in Visual Basic) loop, then the results from every thread must be merged back into one sequence. The kind of merge that PLINQ performs depends on the operators that are present in the query. For example, operators that impose a new order on the results must buffer all elements from all threads. From the perspective of the consuming thread (which is also that of the application user) a fully buffered query might run for a noticeable period of time before it produces its first result. Other operators, by default, are partially buffered; they yield their results in batches. One operator, <xref:System.Linq.ParallelEnumerable.ForAll%2A> is not buffered by default. It yields all elements from all threads immediately.

 # Order Preservation in PLINQ
 In PLINQ, the goal is to maximize performance while maintaining correctness. A query should run as fast as possible but still produce the correct results. In some cases, correctness requires the order of the source sequence to be preserved; however, ordering can be computationally expensive. Therefore, by default, PLINQ does not preserve the order of the source sequence. In this regard, PLINQ resembles [!INCLUDE[vbtecdlinq](../../../includes/vbtecdlinq-md.md)], but is unlike LINQ to Objects, which does preserve ordering.

 # Parallel LINQ (PLINQ)
 Parallel LINQ (PLINQ) is a parallel implementation of LINQ to Objects. PLINQ implements the full set of LINQ standard query operators as extension methods for the <xref:System.Linq> namespace and has additional operators for parallel operations. PLINQ combines the simplicity and readability of LINQ syntax with the power of parallel programming. Just like code that targets the Task Parallel Library, PLINQ queries scale in the degree of concurrency based on the capabilities of the host computer.

In some ways, a task resembles a thread or <xref:System.Threading.ThreadPool> work item, but at a higher level of abstraction. The term *task parallelism* refers to one or more independent tasks running concurrently. Tasks provide two primary benefits:

 # Task Cancellation
 The <xref:System.Threading.Tasks.Task?displayProperty=nameWithType> and <xref:System.Threading.Tasks.Task%601?displayProperty=nameWithType> classes support cancellation through the use of cancellation tokens in the .NET Framework. For more information, see [Cancellation in Managed Threads](../../../docs/standard/threading/cancellation-in-managed-threads.md). In the Task classes, cancellation involves cooperation between the user delegate, which represents a cancelable operation and the code that requested the cancellation.  A successful cancellation involves the requesting code calling the <xref:System.Threading.CancellationTokenSource.Cancel%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> method, and the user delegate terminating the operation in a timely manner. You can terminate the operation by using one of these options:

 # Task Parallel Library (TPL)
 The Task Parallel Library (TPL) is a set of public types and APIs in the <xref:System.Threading?displayProperty=nameWithType> and <xref:System.Threading.Tasks?displayProperty=nameWithType> namespaces. The purpose of the TPL is to make developers more productive by simplifying the process of adding parallelism and concurrency to applications. The TPL scales the degree of concurrency dynamically to most efficiently use all the processors that are available. In addition, the TPL handles the partitioning of the work, the scheduling of threads on the <xref:System.Threading.ThreadPool>, cancellation support, state management, and other low-level details. By using TPL, you can maximize the performance of your code while focusing on the work that your program is designed to accomplish.

 # Understanding Speedup in PLINQ
 The primary purpose of PLINQ is to speed up the execution of LINQ to Objects queries by executing the query delegates in parallel on multi-core computers. PLINQ performs best when the processing of each element in a source collection is independent, with no shared state involved among the individual delegates. Such operations are common in LINQ to Objects and PLINQ, and are often called "*delightfully parallel*" because they lend themselves easily to scheduling on multiple threads. However, not all queries consist entirely of delightfully parallel operations; in most cases, a query involves some operators that either cannot be parallelized, or that slow down parallel execution. And even with queries that are entirely delightfully parallel, PLINQ must still partition the data source and schedule the work on the threads, and usually merge the results when the query completes. All these operations add to the computational cost of parallelization; these costs of adding parallelization are called *overhead*. To achieve optimum performance in a PLINQ query, the goal is to maximize the parts that are delightfully parallel and minimize the parts that require overhead. This article provides information that will help you write PLINQ queries that are as efficient as possible while still yielding correct results.

 # Walkthrough: Creating a Dataflow Pipeline
 Although you can use the <xref:System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow.DataflowBlock.Receive%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType>, <xref:System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow.DataflowBlock.ReceiveAsync%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType>, and <xref:System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow.DataflowBlock.TryReceive%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> methods to receive messages from source blocks, you can also connect message blocks to form a *dataflow pipeline*. A dataflow pipeline is a series of components, or *dataflow blocks*, each of which performs a specific task that contributes to a larger goal. Every dataflow block in a dataflow pipeline performs work when it receives a message from another dataflow block. An analogy to this is an assembly line for automobile manufacturing. As each vehicle passes through the assembly line, one station assembles the frame, the next one installs the engine, and so on. Because an assembly line enables multiple vehicles to be assembled at the same time, it provides better throughput than assembling complete vehicles one at a time.

 # Walkthrough: Using BatchBlock and BatchedJoinBlock to Improve Efficiency
 The TPL Dataflow Library provides the <xref:System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow.BatchBlock%601?displayProperty=nameWithType> and <xref:System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow.BatchedJoinBlock%602?displayProperty=nameWithType> classes so that you can receive and buffer data from one or more sources and then propagate out that buffered data as one collection. This batching mechanism is useful when you collect data from one or more sources and then process multiple data elements as a batch. For example, consider an application that uses dataflow to insert records into a database. This operation can be more efficient if multiple items are inserted at the same time instead of one at a time sequentially. This document describes how to use the <xref:System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow.BatchBlock%601> class to improve the efficiency of such database insert operations. It also describes how to use the <xref:System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow.BatchedJoinBlock%602> class to capture both the results and any exceptions that occur when the program reads from a database.

 # Cryptographic Services
 <a name="top"></a> Public networks such as the Internet do not provide a means of secure communication between entities. Communication over such networks is susceptible to being read or even modified by unauthorized third parties. Cryptography helps protect data from being viewed, provides ways to detect whether data has been modified, and helps provide a secure means of communication over otherwise nonsecure channels. For example, data can be encrypted by using a cryptographic algorithm, transmitted in an encrypted state, and later decrypted by the intended party. If a third party intercepts the encrypted data, it will be difficult to decipher.

 # Decrypting Data
 Decryption is the reverse operation of encryption. For secret-key encryption, you must know both the key and IV that were used to encrypt the data. For public-key encryption, you must know either the public key (if the data was encrypted using the private key) or the private key (if the data was encrypted using the public key).

 Symmetric encryption and asymmetric encryption are performed using different processes. Symmetric encryption is performed on streams and is therefore useful to encrypt large amounts of data. Asymmetric encryption is performed on a small number of bytes and is therefore useful only for small amounts of data.

 # Ensuring Data Integrity with Hash Codes
 A hash value is a numeric value of a fixed length that uniquely identifies data. Hash values represent large amounts of data as much smaller numeric values, so they are used with digital signatures. You can sign a hash value more efficiently than signing the larger value. Hash values are also useful for verifying the integrity of data sent through insecure channels. The hash value of received data can be compared to the hash value of data as it was sent to determine whether the data was altered.

 # Generating Keys for Encryption and Decryption
 Creating and managing keys is an important part of the cryptographic process. Symmetric algorithms require the creation of a key and an initialization vector (IV). The key must be kept secret from anyone who should not decrypt your data. The IV does not have to be secret, but should be changed for each session. Asymmetric algorithms require the creation of a public key and a private key. The public key can be made public to anyone, while the private key must known only by the party who will decrypt the data encrypted with the public key. This section describes how to generate and manage keys for both symmetric and asymmetric algorithms.

 # How to: Store Asymmetric Keys in a Key Container
 Asymmetric private keys should never be stored verbatim or in plain text on the local computer. If you need to store a private key, you should use a key container. For more information on key containers, see [Understanding Machine-Level and User-Level RSA Key Containers](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/9a179f38-8fb7-4442-964c-fb7b9f39f5b9).

 # How to: Use Data Protection
 The .NET Framework provides access to the data protection API (DPAPI), which allows you to encrypt data using information from the current user account or computer.  When you use the DPAPI, you alleviate the difficult problem of explicitly generating and storing a cryptographic key.

 # Impersonating and Reverting
 Sometimes you might need to obtain a Windows account token to impersonate a Windows account. For example, your ASP.NET-based application might have to act on behalf of several users at different times. Your application might accept a token that represents an administrator from Internet Information Services (IIS), impersonate that user, perform an operation, and revert to the previous identity. Next, it might accept a token from IIS that represents a user with fewer rights, perform some operation, and revert again.

 The common language runtime and the .NET Framework provide many useful classes and services that enable developers to easily write secure code and enable system administrators to customize the permissions granted to code so that it can access protected resources. In addition, the runtime and the .NET Framework provide useful classes and services that facilitate the use of cryptography and role-based security.

 # Principal and Identity Objects
 Managed code can discover the identity or the role of a principal through a <xref:System.Security.Principal.IPrincipal> object, which contains a reference to an <xref:System.Security.Principal.IIdentity> object. It might be helpful to compare identity and principal objects to familiar concepts like user and group accounts. In most network environments, user accounts represent people or programs, while group accounts represent certain categories of users and the rights they possess. Similarly, .NET Framework identity objects represent users, while roles represent memberships and security contexts. In the .NET Framework, the principal object encapsulates both an identity object and a role. .NET Framework applications grant rights to the principal based on its identity or, more commonly, its role membership.

 # Replacing a Principal Object
 Applications that provide authentication services must be able to replace the **Principal** object (<xref:System.Security.Principal.IPrincipal>) for a given thread. Furthermore, the security system must help protect the ability to replace **Principal** objects because a maliciously attached, incorrect **Principal** compromises the security of your application by claiming an untrue identity or role. Therefore, applications that require the ability to replace **Principal** objects must be granted the <xref:System.Security.Permissions.SecurityPermission?displayProperty=nameWithType> object for principal control. (Note that this permission is not required for performing role-based security checks or for creating **Principal** objects.)

 # Role-Based Security
 Roles are often used in financial or business applications to enforce policy. For example, an application might impose limits on the size of the transaction being processed depending on whether the user making the request is a member of a specified role. Clerks might have authorization to process transactions that are less than a specified threshold, supervisors might have a higher limit, and vice-presidents might have a still higher limit (or no limit at all). Role-based security can also be used when an application requires multiple approvals to complete an action. Such a case might be a purchasing system in which any employee can generate a purchase request, but only a purchasing agent can convert that request into a purchase order that can be sent to a supplier.

 # Secure Coding Guidelines
 Evidence-based security and code access security provide very powerful, explicit mechanisms to implement security. Most application code can simply use the infrastructure implemented by the .NET Framework. In some cases, additional application-specific security is required, built either by extending the security system or by using new ad hoc methods.

 # Securing State Data
 Applications that handle sensitive data or make any kind of security decisions need to keep that data under their own control and cannot allow other potentially malicious code to access the data directly. The best way to protect data in memory is to declare the data as private or internal (with scope limited to the same assembly) variables. However, even this data is subject to access you should be aware of:

 # Security and On-the-Fly Code Generation
 Some libraries operate by generating code and running it to perform some operation for the caller. The basic problem is generating code on behalf of lesser-trust code and running it at a higher trust. The problem worsens when the caller can influence code generation, so you must ensure that only code you consider safe is generated.

 # Security and User Input
 User data, which is any kind of input (data from a Web request or URL, input to controls of a Microsoft Windows Forms application, and so on), can adversely influence code because often that data is used directly as parameters to call other code. This situation is analogous to malicious code calling your code with strange parameters, and the same precautions should be taken. User input is actually harder to make safe because there is no stack frame to trace the presence of the potentially untrusted data.

 The World Wide Web Consortium (www.w3.org) document named "Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) 1.1" contains an optional section (section 5) that describes how SOAP parameters can be encoded. To conform to section 5 of the specification, you must use a special set of attributes found in the <xref:System.Xml.Serialization> namespace. Apply those attributes as appropriate to classes and members of classes, and then use the <xref:System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer> to serialize instances of the class or classes.

 # Custom serialization
 Custom serialization is the process of controlling the serialization and deserialization of a type. By controlling serialization, it's possible to ensure serialization compatibility, which is the ability to serialize and deserialize between versions of a type without breaking the core functionality of the type. For example, in the first version of a type, there may be only two fields. In the next version of a type, several more fields are added. Yet the second version of an application must be able to serialize and deserialize both types. The following sections describe how to control serialization.

 # Examples of XML Serialization
 XML serialization can take more than one form, from simple to complex. For example, you can serialize a class that simply consists of public fields and properties, as shown in [Introducing XML Serialization](../../../docs/standard/serialization/introducing-xml-serialization.md). The following code examples address various advanced scenarios, including how to use XML serialization to generate an XML stream that conforms to a specific XML Schema (XSD) document.

 Using the **XmlElementAttribute** attribute to change the name of an XML element is not the only way to customize object serialization.

 # How to: Serialize an Object
 To serialize an object, first create the object that is to be serialized and set its public properties and fields. To do this, you must determine the transport format in which the XML stream is to be stored, either as a stream or as a file. For example, if the XML stream must be saved in a permanent form, create a <xref:System.IO.FileStream> object.

 # Serialization in .NET
 Serialization is the process of converting the state of an object into a form that can be persisted or transported. The complement of serialization is deserialization, which converts a stream into an object. Together, these processes allow data to be easily stored and transferred.

 # Introducing XML Serialization
 Serialization is the process of converting an object into a form that can be readily transported. For example, you can serialize an object and transport it over the Internet using HTTP between a client and a server. On the other end, deserialization reconstructs the object from the stream.

 # Selective serialization
 A class often contains fields that shouldn't be serialized. For example, assume a class stores a thread ID in a member variable. When the class is deserialized, the thread stored the ID for when the class was serialized might no longer be running; so serializing this value doesn't make sense. You can prevent member variables from being serialized by marking them with the [NonSerialized](xref:System.NonSerializedAttribute) attribute as follows.

 # Serialization concepts
 Why would you want to use serialization? The two most important reasons are to persist the state of an object to a storage medium so an exact copy can be re-created at a later stage, and to send the object by value from one application domain to another. For example, serialization is used to save session state in ASP.NET and to copy objects to the Clipboard in Windows Forms. It is also used by remoting to pass objects by value from one application domain to another.

 # XML and SOAP Serialization
 XML serialization converts (serializes) the public fields and properties of an object, or the parameters and return values of methods, into an XML stream that conforms to a specific XML Schema definition language (XSD) document. XML serialization results in strongly typed classes with public properties and fields that are converted to a serial format (in this case, XML) for storage or transport.

 # XML Serialization with XML Web Services
 XML serialization is the underlying transport mechanism used in the XML Web services architecture, performed by the <xref:System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer> class. To control the XML generated by an XML Web service, you can apply the attributes listed in both [Attributes That Control XML Serialization](../../../docs/standard/serialization/attributes-that-control-xml-serialization.md) and [Attributes That Control Encoded SOAP Serialization](../../../docs/standard/serialization/attributes-that-control-encoded-soap-serialization.md) to the classes, return values, parameters, and fields of a file used to create an XML Web service (.asmx). For more information about creating an XML Web service, see [Building XML Web Services Using ASP.NET](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/01dfc27c-c68e-4910-a0aa-5e4c2a766b0c).

 # Barrier (.NET Framework)
 A *barrier* is a user-defined synchronization primitive that enables multiple threads (known as *participants*) to work concurrently on an algorithm in phases. Each participant executes until it reaches the barrier point in the code. The barrier represents the end of one phase of work. When a participant reaches the barrier, it blocks until all participants have reached the same barrier. After all participants have reached the barrier, you can optionally invoke a post-phase action. This post-phase action can be used to perform actions by a single thread while all other threads are still blocked. After the action has been executed, the participants are all unblocked.

 # Canceling Threads Cooperatively
 Prior to the [!INCLUDE[net_v40_long](../../../includes/net-v40-long-md.md)], the .NET Framework provided no built-in way to cancel a thread cooperatively after it was started. However, in [!INCLUDE[net_v40_long](../../../includes/net-v40-long-md.md)], you can use cancellation tokens to cancel threads, just as you can use them to cancel <xref:System.Threading.Tasks.Task?displayProperty=nameWithType> objects or PLINQ queries. Although the <xref:System.Threading.Thread?displayProperty=nameWithType> class does not offer built-in support for cancellation tokens, you can pass a token to a thread procedure by using the <xref:System.Threading.Thread> constructor that takes a <xref:System.Threading.ParameterizedThreadStart> delegate. The following example demonstrates how to do this.

 # Cancellation in Managed Threads
 Starting with the [!INCLUDE[net_v40_long](../../../includes/net-v40-long-md.md)], the .NET Framework uses a unified model for cooperative cancellation of asynchronous or long-running synchronous operations. This model is based on a lightweight object called a cancellation token. The object that invokes one or more cancelable operations, for example by creating new threads or tasks, passes the token to each operation. Individual operations can in turn pass copies of the token to other operations. At some later time, the object that created the token can use it to request that the operations stop what they are doing. Only the requesting object can issue the cancellation request, and each listener is responsible for noticing the request and responding to it in an appropriate and timely manner.

 # CountdownEvent
 <xref:System.Threading.CountdownEvent?displayProperty=nameWithType> is a synchronization primitive that unblocks its waiting threads after it has been signaled a certain number of times. <xref:System.Threading.CountdownEvent> is designed for scenarios in which you would otherwise have to use a <xref:System.Threading.ManualResetEvent> or <xref:System.Threading.ManualResetEventSlim> and manually decrement a variable before signaling the event. For example, in a fork/join scenario, you can just create a <xref:System.Threading.CountdownEvent> that has a signal count of 5, and then start five work items on the thread pool and have each work item call <xref:System.Threading.CountdownEvent.Signal%2A> when it completes. Each call to <xref:System.Threading.CountdownEvent.Signal%2A> decrements the signal count by 1. On the main thread, the call to <xref:System.Threading.CountdownEvent.Wait%2A> will block until the signal count is zero.

 # Creating Threads and Passing Data at Start Time
 When an operating-system process is created, the operating system injects a thread to execute code in that process, including any original application domain. From that point on, application domains can be created and destroyed without any operating system threads necessarily being created or destroyed. If the code being executed is managed code, then a <xref:System.Threading.Thread> object for the thread executing in the current application domain can be obtained by retrieving the static <xref:System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread%2A> property of type <xref:System.Threading.Thread>. This topic describes thread creation and discusses alternatives for passing data to the thread procedure.

 A managed thread is either a background thread or a foreground thread. Background threads are identical to foreground threads with one exception: a background thread does not keep the managed execution environment running. Once all foreground threads have been stopped in a managed process (where the .exe file is a managed assembly), the system stops all background threads and shuts down.

 # How to: Enable Thread-Tracking Mode in SpinLock
 <xref:System.Threading.SpinLock?displayProperty=nameWithType> is a low-level mutual exclusion lock that you can use for scenarios that have very short wait times. <xref:System.Threading.SpinLock> is not re-entrant. After a thread enters the lock, it must exit the lock correctly before it can enter again. Typically, any attempt to re-enter the lock would cause deadlock, and deadlocks can be very difficult to debug. As an aid to development, <xref:System.Threading.SpinLock?displayProperty=nameWithType> supports a thread-tracking mode that causes an exception to be thrown when a thread attempts to re-enter a lock that it already holds. This lets you more easily locate the point at which the lock was not exited correctly. You can turn on thread-tracking mode by using the <xref:System.Threading.SpinLock> constructor that takes a Boolean input parameter, and passing in an argument of `true`. After you complete the development and testing phases, turn off thread-tracking mode for better performance.

 # How to: Use SpinWait to Implement a Two-Phase Wait Operation
 The following example shows how to use a <xref:System.Threading.SpinWait?displayProperty=nameWithType> object to implement a two-phase wait operation. In the first phase, the synchronization object, a `Latch`, spins for a few cycles while it checks whether the lock has become available. In the second phase, if the lock becomes available, then the `Wait` method returns without using the <xref:System.Threading.ManualResetEvent?displayProperty=nameWithType> to perform its wait; otherwise, `Wait` performs the wait.

 # Managed Threading
 Whether you are developing for computers with one processor or several, you want your application to provide the most responsive interaction with the user, even if the application is currently doing other work. Using multiple threads of execution is one of the most powerful ways to keep your application responsive to the user and at the same time make use of the processor in between or even during user events. While this section introduces the basic concepts of threading, it focuses on managed threading concepts and using managed threading.

 # Interlocked Operations
 The <xref:System.Threading.Interlocked> class provides methods that synchronize access to a variable that is shared by multiple threads. The threads of different processes can use this mechanism if the variable is in shared memory. Interlocked operations are atomic — that is, the entire operation is a unit that cannot be interrupted by another interlocked operation on the same variable. This is important in operating systems with preemptive multithreading, where a thread can be suspended after loading a value from a memory address, but before having the chance to alter it and store it.

 # Managed and Unmanaged Threading in Windows
 Management of all threads is done through the <xref:System.Threading.Thread> class, including threads created by the common language runtime and those created outside the runtime that enter the managed environment to execute code. The runtime monitors all the threads in its process that have ever executed code within the managed execution environment. It does not track any other threads. Threads can enter the managed execution environment through COM interop (because the runtime exposes managed objects as COM objects to the unmanaged world), the COM [DllGetClassObject](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/ms680760.aspx) function, and platform invoke.

 Every thread has a thread priority assigned to it. Threads created within the common language runtime are initially assigned the priority of **ThreadPriority.Normal**.

 # SpinLock
 The <xref:System.Threading.SpinLock> structure is a low-level, mutual-exclusion synchronization primitive that spins while it waits to acquire a lock. On multicore computers, when wait times are expected to be short and when contention is minimal, <xref:System.Threading.SpinLock> can perform better than other kinds of locks. However, we recommend that you use <xref:System.Threading.SpinLock> only when you determine by profiling that the <xref:System.Threading.Monitor?displayProperty=nameWithType> method or the <xref:System.Threading.Interlocked> methods are significantly slowing the performance of your program.

 # SpinWait
 <xref:System.Threading.SpinWait?displayProperty=nameWithType> is a lightweight synchronization type that you can use in low-level scenarios to avoid the expensive context switches and kernel transitions that are required for kernel events. On multicore computers, when a resource is not expected to be held for long periods of time, it can be more efficient for a waiting thread to spin in user mode for a few dozen or a few hundred cycles, and then retry to acquire the resource. If the resource is available after spinning, then you have saved several thousand cycles. If the resource is still not available, then you have spent only a few cycles and can still enter a kernel-based wait. This spinning-then-waiting combination is sometimes referred to as a *two-phase wait operation*.

 # Synchronizing Data for Multithreading
 When multiple threads can make calls to the properties and methods of a single object, it is critical that those calls be synchronized. Otherwise one thread might interrupt what another thread is doing, and the object could be left in an invalid state. A class whose members are protected from such interruptions is called thread-safe.

If you have short tasks that require background processing, the managed thread pool is an easy way to take advantage of multiple threads. For example, beginning with the [!INCLUDE[net_v40_long](../../../includes/net-v40-long-md.md)] you can create <xref:System.Threading.Tasks.Task> and <xref:System.Threading.Tasks.Task%601> objects, which perform asynchronous tasks on thread pool threads.

 # Threads and Threading
 Operating systems use processes to separate the different applications that they are executing. Threads are the basic unit to which an operating system allocates processor time, and more than one thread can be executing code inside that process. Each thread maintains exception handlers, a scheduling priority, and a set of structures the system uses to save the thread context until it is scheduled. The thread context includes all the information the thread needs to seamlessly resume execution, including the thread's set of CPU registers and stack, in the address space of the thread's host process.

 # Best Practices for Implementing the Event-based Asynchronous Pattern
 The Event-based Asynchronous Pattern provides you with an effective way to expose asynchronous behavior in classes, with familiar event and delegate semantics. To implement Event-based Asynchronous Pattern, you need to follow some specific behavioral requirements. The following sections describe requirements and guidelines you should consider when you implement a class that follows the Event-based Asynchronous Pattern.

 # Deciding When to Implement the Event-based Asynchronous Pattern
 The Event-based Asynchronous Pattern provides a pattern for exposing the asynchronous behavior of a class. With the introduction of this pattern, the [!INCLUDE[dnprdnshort](../../../includes/dnprdnshort-md.md)] defines two patterns for exposing asynchronous behavior: the Asynchronous Pattern based on the <xref:System.IAsyncResult?displayProperty=nameWithType> interface, and the event-based pattern. This topic describes when it is appropriate for you to implement both patterns.

 # Event-based Asynchronous Pattern Overview
 Applications that perform many tasks simultaneously, yet remain responsive to user interaction, often require a design that uses multiple threads. The <xref:System.Threading> namespace provides all the tools necessary to create high-performance multithreaded applications, but using these tools effectively requires significant experience with multithreaded software engineering. For relatively simple multithreaded applications, the <xref:System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker> component provides a straightforward solution. For more sophisticated asynchronous applications, consider implementing a class that adheres to the Event-based Asynchronous Pattern.

 The following code example demonstrates how to use a component that adheres to the [Event-based Asynchronous Pattern Overview](../../../docs/standard/asynchronous-programming-patterns/event-based-asynchronous-pattern-overview.md).

 # Attributes That Control Encoded SOAP Serialization 
 The World Wide Web Consortium (www.w3.org) document named "Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) 1.1" contains an optional section (section 5) that describes how SOAP parameters can be encoded. To conform to section 5 of the specification, you must use a special set of attributes found in the <xref:System.Xml.Serialization> namespace. Apply those attributes as appropriate to classes and members of classes, and then use the <xref:System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer> to serialize instances of the class or classes.

 # Custom serialization
 Custom serialization is the process of controlling the serialization and deserialization of a type. By controlling serialization, it's possible to ensure serialization compatibility, which is the ability to serialize and deserialize between versions of a type without breaking the core functionality of the type. For example, in the first version of a type, there may be only two fields. In the next version of a type, several more fields are added. Yet the second version of an application must be able to serialize and deserialize both types. The following sections describe how to control serialization.

 # Examples of XML Serialization
 XML serialization can take more than one form, from simple to complex. For example, you can serialize a class that simply consists of public fields and properties, as shown in [Introducing XML Serialization](../../../docs/standard/serialization/introducing-xml-serialization.md). The following code examples address various advanced scenarios, including how to use XML serialization to generate an XML stream that conforms to a specific XML Schema (XSD) document.

 Using the **XmlElementAttribute** attribute to change the name of an XML element is not the only way to customize object serialization.

 To serialize an object, first create the object that is to be serialized and set its public properties and fields. To do this, you must determine the transport format in which the XML stream is to be stored, either as a stream or as a file. For example, if the XML stream must be saved in a permanent form, create a <xref:System.IO.FileStream> object.

 # Serialization in .NET
 Serialization is the process of converting the state of an object into a form that can be persisted or transported. The complement of serialization is deserialization, which converts a stream into an object. Together, these processes allow data to be easily stored and transferred.

 # Introducing XML Serialization
 Serialization is the process of converting an object into a form that can be readily transported. For example, you can serialize an object and transport it over the Internet using HTTP between a client and a server. On the other end, deserialization reconstructs the object from the stream.

 # Selective serialization
 A class often contains fields that shouldn't be serialized. For example, assume a class stores a thread ID in a member variable. When the class is deserialized, the thread stored the ID for when the class was serialized might no longer be running; so serializing this value doesn't make sense. You can prevent member variables from being serialized by marking them with the [NonSerialized](xref:System.NonSerializedAttribute) attribute as follows.

 # Serialization concepts
 Why would you want to use serialization? The two most important reasons are to persist the state of an object to a storage medium so an exact copy can be re-created at a later stage, and to send the object by value from one application domain to another. For example, serialization is used to save session state in ASP.NET and to copy objects to the Clipboard in Windows Forms. It is also used by remoting to pass objects by value from one application domain to another.

 # XML and SOAP Serialization
 XML serialization converts (serializes) the public fields and properties of an object, or the parameters and return values of methods, into an XML stream that conforms to a specific XML Schema definition language (XSD) document. XML serialization results in strongly typed classes with public properties and fields that are converted to a serial format (in this case, XML) for storage or transport.

 # XML Serialization with XML Web Services
 XML serialization is the underlying transport mechanism used in the XML Web services architecture, performed by the <xref:System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer> class. To control the XML generated by an XML Web service, you can apply the attributes listed in both [Attributes That Control XML Serialization](../../../docs/standard/serialization/attributes-that-control-xml-serialization.md) and [Attributes That Control Encoded SOAP Serialization](../../../docs/standard/serialization/attributes-that-control-encoded-soap-serialization.md) to the classes, return values, parameters, and fields of a file used to create an XML Web service (.asmx). For more information about creating an XML Web service, see [Building XML Web Services Using ASP.NET](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/01dfc27c-c68e-4910-a0aa-5e4c2a766b0c).
