Regex for matching e-mail in C#. Came across http://emailregex.com/ which has a horrible example, so ended up making my own loosely based on that. It leaves much to be desired, but will cover most use cases well enough. public static readonly Regex _emailRegex = new Regex( @”^[\w0-9!#$%&’*+/=?^_`{|}~-]{1,50}(?:\.[\w0-9!#$%&’*+/=?^_`{|}~-]{1,50}){0,8}” + @”@(?:[-\w0-9]{1,50}?\.){1,10}[-\w0-9]{2,50}?$”, RegexOptions.Compiled);

When running the code ignore the first 1000-result from each test (used for warmup).… Read More »
I recently discovered how slow Console.MoveBufferArea actually is. I used it for writing NLog output to a console and discovered that at times of high output it became dead slow. I could at times see it flicker and update line for line while the whole machine temporarily came to a crawl. As I searched the… Read More »

To do this you’ll have to parse the string yourself. So is a simple method that will do so, it supports both “argb” and “rgb” with or without “#” in front of it.… Read More »
The Async-Await feature in .Net is really super. At least until it comes to debugging, exception handling and race conditions. In short it cuts down on code, bugs, complexity and allows for linear programming. Traditional async programming uses callbacks (events) that adds to code complexity, it also forces an unnatural break in your code. Luckily… Read More »
