Pragmas are a true hidden gem, and when used well, can help make applications simpler and easier to develop and maintain. We use past Hidden Gems examples and show how you can add new data series to applications by adding a single new method:
Tagging, Part 1 – Demonstrates how you could use no-op methods as messages to tag methods. ( • Hidden Gems: Tagging Series, Part 1 )
Tagging, Part 2 – Demonstrates how you can tag methods in another manner by using pragmas. ( • Hidden Gems: Tagging Series, Part 2 - Pragmas )
(NEW!) Tagging, Part 3 – Showing more capable options with Pragmas.
