C# 4.0 Dynamic with Chris Burrows and Sam Ng

Posted By: Charlie Calvert | Sep 22nd, 2009 @ 12:10 PM | 30,698 Views | 10 Comments

In this video Microsoft developers Sam Ng and Chris Burrows discuss the new Dynamic feature that is part of the next version of C#. This feature provides enhanced interoperation with dynamic languages such as Ruby and Python, with dynamic models such as Silverlight JavaScript, and with COM objects, particularly those that you find in the Office APIs. With the addition of Dynamic to C# 4.0, it is now much easier to access Microsoft Office APIs from C#. Sam and Chris are both developers on the C# compiler team and both helped design the implementation of Dynamic found in C# 4.0.

Welcome Change

We'll keep more technical stuff coming (there's some great content in the pipeline). You will see more and more content coming from folks who work on product teams in addition to content from the C9 team. That's the future and it's exciting.

 

In terms of more specific product deep dives + demo and code samples... Stay tuned... Smiley

During the presentation it was mentioned that interop assemblies are optional. How about the XML source code documentation ? One of the advantages of using primary interop assemblies is to ship the XML source code documentation to the users machines so the users can use the intellisense. How is this supported in DLR?

For those of you looking for related material, check out the How Do I (HDI) videos on this page:

 

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vcsharp/bb798022.aspx

 

Look for the "C# 4.0 Video Series," and for the "How do I use the Visual Studio IDE" series. We also put together some VB videos on the Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2, but they do not appear to be posted yet. There should appear here soon:

 

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vbasic/bb466226.aspx

 

For now, here are individual links to the VB posts:

 

How Do I Use Autoimplemented Properties in Visual Basic will be at http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/ee681550.aspx

How Do I Use Implicit Line Continuation in Visual Basic 10 is http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/ee681551.aspx
