operators

Answers to a recent post (Any chances to imitate times() Ruby method in C#?) use the => operator in the usage examples. What does this operator do? I can't locate it in my C# book, and it is hard to search for symbols like this online. (I couldn't find it.)

In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More
