Best C# .NET Practices You Should Follow

Adopting best practices in C# .NET can significantly enhance the quality of your codebase. Here are five essential tips:

1) .Use Async/Await for Asynchronous Programming: Improve performance by avoiding blocking calls.

 public async Task GetDataAsync()
{
    var data = await httpClient.GetStringAsync("https://stalintest.com");
    Console.WriteLine(data);
}

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

2) Implement Dependency Injection: Promote loose coupling for better testability and maintainability.

public class MyService
{
    private readonly ILogger _logger;
    public MyService(ILogger logger)
    {
        _logger = logger;
    }
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

3) Utilize LINQ for Collections: Make your code more readable and expressive.

var evenNumbers = numbers.Where(n => n % 2 == 0).ToList();
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

4) Follow SOLID Principles: Ensure your code is scalable and maintainable.

public interface IShape { double Area(); }
public class Rectangle : IShape { public double Area() => width * height; }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

5) Leverage Pattern Matching: Write concise and error-proof code.

if (obj is Student student) { Console.WriteLine(student.Name); }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Implementing these best practices will lead to better, more efficient, and maintainable code.

Happy coding!
