{"@context":"https://w3id.org/codemeta/3.0","@type":"SoftwareSourceCode","identifier":"pkg:nuget/singlefile.vb.extarray.getemptyarray","name":"singlefile.vb.extarray.getemptyarray","description":"VB.NET source file that contains a module with a function to get an empty array of an arbitrary type (always the same instance is returned). This is slightly faster and uses slightly less memory than returning a new empty array every time needed.\n\nSupported versions:\n.NET Framework 2.0\n.NET Framework 3.0\n.NET Framework 3.5\n.NET Framework 3.5 Client Profile\n.NET Framework 4.0\n.NET Framework 4.0 Client Profile\n.NET Framework 4.5\n.NET Framework 4.5.1\n.NET Framework 4.5.2\n.NET Framework 4.6\n.NET Framework 4.6.1\n\nLanguage requirement:\nVisual Basic 8 (shipped in 2005 with .NET 2.0)\n\nThis package is part of the \"SingleFile.VB\" collection that consists of small utilities in the form of VB.NET source files, usually two of them per package, namely the code file and the test file (Microsoft standard unit tests) as well as the license files that are shared over all \"Single.VB\" packages.\n\nSome philosophy:\n\nExtension methods and other static utility functions are not shared accross projects resp. assemblies but included wherever they are needed. For that reason they are declared \"Friend\" and namespace-less as they are supposed to be part of the project's current namespace.\n\nUnit test files are added directly to the project and declared \"Public\" because of limitations of that framework, but they are only compiled in debug mode (through a compiler directive that checks for the \"DEBUG\" keyword). This allows to keep the tests very near to the code which simplifies access to internal members but does not bulk the published version. The reference to \"Microsoft.​VisualStudio.​TestTools.​UnitTesting\" (assembly \"Microsoft.​VisualStudio.​QualityTools.​UnitTestFramework.dll\") is only needed during development and may be declared with \"Copy Local = False\".\n\nThe NuGet package version is global across all \"Single.VB\" packages, and they always reference other packages of the same version (most recent at the time of publishing). This greatly simplifies my dependency handling and therefore improves the quality of the NuGet packages, but may leed to an updated package that does not contain any code change. I apologize for that inconvenience.\n\nYour feedback and/or contribution is welcome.
