User kokos answered the wonderful Hidden Features of C# question by mentioning the using keyword. Can you elaborate on that? What are the uses of using?
The Using scope modifier is supported in the following contexts: Remotely executed commands, started with Invoke-Command using the ComputerName, HostName, SSHConnection or Session parameters (remote session) Background jobs, started with Start-Job (out-of-process session) Thread jobs, started via Start-ThreadJob or ForEach-Object -Parallel ...
Not using by means that the technology used is incidental, and the focus is on the approach being shown to be feasible. Without more context it's impossible to say what the intended import of the sentence is and whether by would actually be better or not. And that means that this question is Not A Real Question.
By using a joystick or a pointing device, an on-screen keyboard allows people with mobility impairments to type data. The second sentence states that the on-screen keyboard is the one that uses the joystick or pointing device to allow impaired people to type data.
Yes Yes. Either way, when the using block is exited (either by successful completion or by error) it is closed. Although I think it would be better to organize like this because it's a lot easier to see what is going to happen, even for the new maintenance programmer who will support it later:
c# - in a "using" block is a SqlConnection closed on return or ...
Using the using keyword can be useful. Using using helps prevent problems using exceptions. Using using can help you use disposable objects more usefully. Using a different using helps you use namespaces or type names. Quite useful.
Updating the using keyword was specifically for templates, and (as was pointed out in the accepted answer) when you are working with non-templates using and typedef are mechanically identical, so the choice is totally up to the programmer on the grounds of readability and communication of intent.
I have seen numerous sentences in which placement of the word "using" immediately following a noun causes just such ambiguity as in the first sentence. In some cases, introduction of extra verbiage such as "through the use of" or "by using" helps. In other cases, it is best to rewrite to avoid confusion and obtain a clearer, more concise sentence.

I had been using cocaine. Meaning, with a reference point in the past, starting a time before then up to the reference point, I was habitually using cocaine up to and including that point. Why not put in some other wonky tenses? I will have used cocaine. I will have been using cocaine. Here is a link conjugating it in all its tenseful glory.

Are there rules of usage when using the ampersand "&" instead of "and"? Are they completely interchangeable? The ampersand seems more casual, but I'm not sure.
