You are allowed to create and throw exceptions in your own code. Instantiating an exception is done the same way that any other C# object. Exception ex = new Exception(); // constructor with an overload that takes a message string Exception ex = new Exception("Error message"); Yo...

Similarly to the ?. operator, the null-conditional index operator checks for null values when indexing into a collection that may be null. string item = collection?[index]; is syntactic sugar for string item = null; if(collection != null) { item = collection[index]; }

Given following nullable int int? i = 10; In case default value is needed, you can assign one using null coalescing operator, GetValueOrDefault method or check if nullable int HasValue before assignment. int j = i ?? 0; int j = i.GetValueOrDefault(0); int j = i.HasValue ? i.Value : 0; The ...

The following is a bad idea because it would dispose the db variable before returning it. public IDBContext GetDBContext() { using (var db = new DBContext()) { return db; } } This can also create more subtle mistakes: public IEnumerable<Person> GetPeople(int age)...

There are several places where you can use String.Format indirectly: The secret is to look for the overload with the signature string format, params object[] args, e.g.: Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0} - {1}", name, value)); Can be replaced with shorter version: Console.WriteLine...
