The server class reads the memory stream in a forever loop until an
EndOfStreamException occurs. This causes repeated first chance
exceptions due to EndOfStreamException. This change verifies that the
memory stream's reader position is not past the length of the memory
stream.
- Made Array.IndexOf available via extension method.
- Made ToHashSet extension method.
- Change collections queried often via Contains into sets.
- Avoid Count() extension if Count or Length property exist.
- Made Count() > 0 checks and variations calls to Any() instead.
- Don't call ToList/ToArray if there is no benefit to materializing the sequence.
- If the sequence does benefit from materialization, follow this general pattern:
- Collection queried often via Contains use ToHashSet to speed up lookups.
- Short lived variables use ToList. This is because ToArray requires an extra copy to output the final size.
- Collections persisted into fields or for a long time use ToArray to minimize memory overhead.
Automatically formatted all files via VS. This generally corrects indentation, removes trailing whitespace and corrects misplaced tabs or spaces. Manually tweaked a few files where required.
- Made private methods static where possible (runtime can elide checking the object for null).
- Declared attribute classes as sealed (allows reflection on attributes to complete faster).
- Moved some static cctor's into field initializers (static cctor's are slower than static field initializers).
- Made classes static if they contained only static methods (can't create instances of useless objects).
- Use inferable Exts.Lazy and not new Lazy<T>().
- Added required STAThread attribute to CrashDialog.
- Removed unused parameters in private methods.
- Added Serializable attribute to exceptions.
- Added parameter name in calls to ArgumentNullException.
- Use of as operator instead of is + cast.
- Changed (x as Foo).Bar anti-pattern into ((Foo)x).Bar. Results in sensible cast exceptions on error rather than null dereferences.
- Removed unused method in NullShader.
