February WOWF column sample code 1.0.0

The February WOWF column on MSDN features code samples for improving performance in C# applications.

The article discusses techniques such as using StringBuilder rather than concatenating strings with the + operator, minimizing boxing and unboxing, and using the correct collection type for the task at hand.

• One code sample demonstrates the performance difference between using List<int> and LinkedList<int> for inserting and removing items from a collection.
• Another sample shows how using a switch statement rather than a series of if statements can lead to faster code execution.
