High-Performance Programming in C# and .NET

By: Jason Alls

Overview of this book

Writing high-performance code while building an application is crucial, and over the years, Microsoft has focused on delivering various performance-related improvements within the .NET ecosystem. This book will help you understand the aspects involved in designing responsive, resilient, and high-performance applications with the new version of C# and .NET. You will start by understanding the foundation of high-performance code and the latest performance-related improvements in C# 10.0 and .NET 6. Next, you’ll learn how to use tracing and diagnostics to track down performance issues and the cause of memory leaks. The chapters that follow then show you how to enhance the performance of your networked applications and various ways to improve directory tasks, file tasks, and more. Later, you’ll go on to improve data querying performance and write responsive user interfaces. You’ll also discover how you can use cloud providers such as Microsoft Azure to build scalable distributed solutions. Finally, you’ll explore various ways to process code synchronously, asynchronously, and in parallel to reduce the time it takes to process a series of tasks. By the end of this C# programming book, you’ll have the confidence you need to build highly resilient, high-performance applications that meet your customer's demands.

Writing the SqlCommandParameterModel class

In this section, we'll write our SqlCommandParameterModel class. This class is simply a SQL parameter definition model.

Open the SqlCommandParameterModel class, make the class public, and add the System.Data namespace.

Now, add the following three parameters:

public string ParameterName { get; set; }
public DbType DataType { get; set; }
public dynamic Value { get; set; }

This class models a standard parameter that consists of the name of the parameter, its database type, and its value.

With that, we have created the core functionality that we need in place for our data access classes. In the following sections, we will be writing data access classes to access data using Entity Framework, Dapper, and ADO.NET.

The reason behind choosing SQL Server for the database server is that it is one of the most common database servers and is used in many business scenarios the world over. In professional environments where...
