Some Code Optimizations

When we create programs, it is very important to make its code optimized. It is because having an optimized code will improve the program's performance, like execution time, code size, etc. It will make your code run faster, use fewer server resources, and make your code easier to debug and maintain.

Here are some ways to make your code optimized:

1. Use string.format instead of string concatenation (+). The format function is faster than the + operator.

Example:

            szConfirmMsg = “Are you sure you want to change the store  number on audit id ” + auditId + “ from “ + oldStoreNo + “ to “ + newStoreNo + “?”;

            szConfirmMsg = string.Format(“Are you sure you want to change the store  number on audit id {0} from {1} to {2}?”, auditId, oldStoreNo, newStoreNo);

2. Use System.IO.Path class if dealing with path and filenames.

Example:

            Searching if file is valid:        

            string fileExt = System.IO.Path.GetExtension(fileName);

            if (fileExt.ToLower().Equals(“.csv”))

            {

                        bValid = true;

            }

3. Use string.Empty instead of ‘’ to initialize a string variable to an empty string. string.Empty is faster than ‘’ because it doesn’t create a new object while ‘’ actually creates an object.

Example:

            string userMessage = ‘’;

            string userMessage = string.Empty;

4. Use string.Equals instead of the equal operator (= =) to test strings for equality.

Example:

            if (szName = = ‘’)

            if (a = = b)

            if (szName.Trim().Equals(string.Empty))

            if (a.Equals(b))
