What are some examples of exceptionally well written C# code or the names of people who's code should be read?
(As an aside, any links\tips\techniques people have for finding excellent code in other languages are also appreciated but I'm primarily interested in C# examples specifically at the moment.)
I would also suggest you can learn as much if not more from poorly written code as you can from exceptional code. Knowing what and why not to do something is almost more important in my opinion.
No matter wouldn't hurt to look at http://aspnet.codeplex.com/ where Microsoft has open sourced a number of things. I won't say they are all great examples, but it can't hurt to start there.
Also, check out dapper (by stackoverflow), again I am not claiming it is exceptional code but it is super powerful within a small footprint.
If you are wanting opinions on coding standards and what makes code usable, maintainable, legible etc that is slightly different than solid code that works. I say this because I have seen code that just rocks and never fails, but I would never suggest anyone follow it as a template to writing exceptional code. Make sense?
