How to avoid short circuit evaluation in C# while doing the same functionality


Do we have any operator in C# by which I can avoid short circuit evaluation and traverse to all the conditions.

say

if(txtName.Text.xyz() || txtLastName.Text.xyz())
{

}

public static bool xyz(this TextBox txt)
{
//do some work.
return false;
}

It should evaluate all conditions irrespective of output obtained. And after evaluating last condition continues according to result obtained. ?


Solution

  • Just use a single bar, this will evaluated both arguments regardless of the outcome of the first result.

    if(txtName.Text.xyz() | txtLastName.Text.xyz()) { }
    

    You can also do the same with AND, i.e. You can replace && with a single ampersand to get the same affect as above:

    if(txtName.Text.xyz() & txtLastName.Text.xyz()) { } // Both sides will be called
