C# Syntax Shortcuts

Question

I was wondering if there exists somewhere a collection or list of C# syntax shortcuts. Things as simple omitting the curly braces on if statements all the way up to things like the ?? coalesce operator.

Answer 1

a = b ? c : d ;

is short for

if (b) a = c; else a = d;

And

int MyProp{get;set;}

is short for

int myVar;
int MyProp{get {return myVar; } set{myVar=value;}}

Also see the code templates in visual studio which allows you to speed coding up.

But note that short code doesn't mean necessarily good code.
