Using declaration
|
|
using (var file = new StreamWriter("MyFile.txt"))
{
// some code
} // file is disposed here
void MyMethod()
{
using var file = new StreamWriter("MyFile.txt");
// some code
// file is disposed here, at the end of the enclosing scope
}
|
Static local function
|
|
int x = 5;
int y = 7;
return Add(x, y);
// Can be static because it doesn't access any variables in the enclosing scope
static int Add(int left, int right) => left + right;
|

public static async IAsyncEnumerable<int> GenerateSequence()
{
for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++)
{
await Task.Delay(100);
yield return i;
}
}
await foreach (var number in GenerateSequence())
{
Console.WriteLine(number);
}

Indices and ranges
|
|
var latest = myList[^1];
var secondToFour = myList[2..5];
var lastTwo = myList[^2..^0];
var firstThree = myList[..4];
var allExceptFirst = myList[2..];
|
Null-coalescing assignment / ?? =
|
|
int? i = null;
i = i == null ? 20 : i;
i = i ?? 20;
i ??= 20; // assign 20 to i if i is null

Now by default everything is non nullable. If you want to declare a type as accepting null values, you need to add ? after the type.
|
|
string s1 = null; // Warning: Converting null literal or possible null value to non-nullable type.
string? s2 = null; // ok
// null-forgiving operator
Console.WriteLine(s2!.Length); // in this case we know that s2 is not null, so we can use "!" to instruct the compiler "s2" is not null here
// allow null even if the type is not nullable
public void MyMethod([AllowNull]ref string value)
{ }
// disallow null even if the type is nullable
public void MyMethod([DisallowNull]ref string? value)
{ }
private string s1 = "";
// allow null for setter even if the type is not nullable
[AllowNull]
public string S1
{
get => s1;
set => s1 = value ?? "";
}

The C# 8 / .NET Framework combination is not officially supported by Microsoft.
It can be forced by editing the csproj file.

- default interface members won't work
- asynchronous streams and indices and ranges will need polyfill nuget package
