COM interop improvements with C#4.0

I already did a blog post about this some time ago: Better Office COM interop thanks to named and optional parameters

Here I talked mainly on how named and optional parameters make life easier for Office developers. This focus was more on that. But actually there are a some other points that didn’t get enough attention. Here are some other great improvements specifically for COM interop.

  • No more meaningless ref parameters.
  • Better indexer support, property accessing. No specific get/set needed anymore.
  • No more need for casting, we can use dynamic binding thanks to the Dynamic class.

I have found a screencast by Sam Ng who explains all this in about 10min.
