C# Idioms and Patterns

C# rewards type safety, LINQ expressiveness, and async-first design. Modern C# (10+/.NET 6+) favors records, nullable reference types, and minimal APIs. Idiomatic C# = clean, async-aware, framework-integrated.

Scope: C# coding idioms. Test naming: .agents/rules/testing-strategy.md. Logging: @.agents/skills/logging-implementation/SKILL.md.

Modern C# Features (10+)

1. Nullable reference types — always enabled:

   // ✅ Explicit nullability
   public Task? FindById(string id) { ... }
   public Task GetById(string id) { ... } // never returns null — throws
   
   // In .csproj: <Nullable>enable</Nullable>
   

2. Records for immutable data:

   public record CreateTaskRequest(string Title, Priority Priority);
   public record TaskResponse(string Id, string Title, DateTime CreatedAt);
   

3. Pattern matching:

   return result switch
   {
       Success(var task) => Ok(task),
       NotFound(var id) => NotFound($"Task {id} not found"),
       ValidationError(var errors) => BadRequest(errors),
       _ => StatusCode(500)
   };
   

4. required and init for safe construction:

   public class AppConfig
   {
       public required string DatabaseUrl { get; init; }
       public required string ApiKey { get; init; }
       public int MaxRetries { get; init; } = 3;
   }
   

Error Handling

1. Result pattern over exceptions for expected failures:

   public record Result<T>
   {
       public T? Value { get; init; }
       public string? Error { get; init; }
       public bool IsSuccess => Error is null;
       public static Result<T> Ok(T value) => new() { Value = value };
       public static Result<T> Fail(string error) => new() { Error = error };
   }
   

2. Domain exceptions for unexpected failures — never raw Exception.

3. Never catch (Exception) without re-throw or specific handling.

Async/Await

1. Async all the way — never .Result or .Wait() on tasks:

   // ✅ Async pipeline
   public async Task<Task> GetTaskAsync(string id, CancellationToken ct)
   {
       return await _storage.GetByIdAsync(id, ct)
           ?? throw new NotFoundException("Task", id);
   }
   
   // ❌ Sync-over-async — deadlock risk
   var task = _storage.GetByIdAsync(id).Result;
