# C# conventions
|
|
|
|
## Standard base
|
|
|
|
Microsoft's C# coding conventions and .NET Framework Design Guidelines, with
|
|
the analyzers that ship in the SDK. Target the language version of the
|
|
project's `LangVersion` / target framework.
|
|
|
|
## Naming
|
|
|
|
| Element | Convention | Example |
|
|
| --- | --- | --- |
|
|
| Namespace | `PascalCase`, matches folder path | `Billing.Stays` |
|
|
| Class, struct, record, enum, delegate | `PascalCase` (nouns) | `StayReader` |
|
|
| Interface | `I` + `PascalCase` | `IStayReader` |
|
|
| Method, property, event, public field | `PascalCase` | `ReadStays()`, `CheckIn` |
|
|
| Constant, `static readonly` | `PascalCase` | `MaxRetries` |
|
|
| Enum value | `PascalCase`; `[Flags]` enums are plural | `Status.NotFound` |
|
|
| Parameter, local variable | `camelCase` | `byteCount` |
|
|
| Private / internal field | `_camelCase` | `_buffer` |
|
|
| Generic type parameter | `T` or `T` + `PascalCase` | `T`, `TKey` |
|
|
| Async method | ends in `Async` | `ReadStaysAsync()` |
|
|
| Exception, attribute | end in `Exception` / `Attribute` | `InvalidDateException` |
|
|
| Boolean | `Is`, `Has`, `Can` prefix | `IsActive` |
|
|
| File | the type's name, one top-level type per file | `StayReader.cs` |
|
|
|
|
- Two-letter acronyms are upper case (`IO`); longer ones are `PascalCase`
|
|
(`Xml`, `Http`).
|
|
|
|
## Formatting
|
|
|
|
- `.editorconfig` checked in; `dotnet format` applies it. 4 spaces, Allman
|
|
braces, braces on every control-flow body.
|
|
- File-scoped namespaces (`namespace X;`); `using` directives outside the
|
|
namespace, `System` first.
|
|
- `var` when the type is obvious from the right-hand side, explicit type
|
|
otherwise.
|
|
|
|
## Language rules
|
|
|
|
- Enable nullable reference types (`<Nullable>enable</Nullable>`) and treat
|
|
nullable warnings as errors; do not suppress with `!` without a comment.
|
|
- `IDisposable` owners use `using`; implement the dispose pattern only when
|
|
needed.
|
|
- `async`/`await` all the way; no `.Result` or `.Wait()`; no `async void`
|
|
except event handlers; pass `CancellationToken` through public async APIs.
|
|
- Prefer properties over public fields, `readonly` and `init` for
|
|
immutability, `record` for value-like data, pattern matching and switch
|
|
expressions over long `if` chains.
|
|
- LINQ for queries, loops for side effects; do not enumerate a sequence twice.
|
|
- String interpolation over concatenation; `StringBuilder` in loops;
|
|
`DateTimeOffset` over `DateTime` for points in time; `decimal` for money.
|
|
- XML documentation comments (`///`) on public types and members.
|
|
|
|
## Errors
|
|
|
|
Throw specific exceptions (`ArgumentNullException`, custom types); validate
|
|
arguments at the public boundary (`ArgumentNullException.ThrowIfNull`). Catch
|
|
the narrowest type; `throw;` (not `throw ex;`) to rethrow. Never an empty
|
|
`catch`.
|
|
|
|
## Tests
|
|
|
|
xUnit, NUnit or MSTest; names like `Method_Condition_Expected`; one behaviour
|
|
per test; no dependence on order, time or the network.
|
|
|
|
## Tooling
|
|
|
|
`dotnet format`, the .NET analyzers (`AnalysisLevel`, `EnforceCodeStyleInBuild`)
|
|
and optionally StyleCop.Analyzers, configured in `.editorconfig`.
|
|
|
|
Review with `QC-CS-001`.
