Simple C# Noop Statement

Question

What is a simple Noop statement in C#, that doesn\'t require implementing a method? (Inline/Lambda methods are OK, though.)

My current use case: I want to occupy the c

Answer 1

You can just write:

catch {
    ;
}

The empty statement with a single semicolon is the C# NOOP.

Answer 2

You can write a function that does nothing.

public static void Noop()
{
}

Answer 3

This is an addition to @AHM 's answer since I wanted an easy way to do NOOP for debugging purposes (communicating with AB PLC CompactLogix and ran into errors only really visible in Disassembly because of C++ library DLL import in C#).

I took the one-liner

((Action)(() => { }))();

and put it into a snippet named noop.snippet then placed it in the folder named My Code Snippets.
(Tools -> Code Snippets Manager -> Location) OR Chord (Ctrl+K,Ctrl+B)

            </Code>

This helps to make it a quick use shortcut in case low level communication becomes muddled and requires this to be a common debugging tactic. The actual assembly generated is as follows, but there're some posts about how to use actual assembly inline in C#.
