In my blog series, Nullable reference types in C# - Migrating to nullable reference types, we discussed the benefits of enabling nullable reference types in your C# code, and annotating your code so the compiler and IDE can give you more reliable hints about whether a particular variable or property may need to be c...

How do you test that your ASP.NET Core Minimal API behaves as expected? Do you need to deploy your application? Can you write tests with frameworks like xUnit, NUnit, or MSTest? Read more »
Previously, we saw how you can help the compiler’s flow analysis understand your code, by annotating your code for nullability. Read more »
In the previous post, we looked at some internals of C# nullable reference types, and the nullable annotation context. Read more »
In the previous post, we saw that with nullable reference types enabled, you get better static flow analysis when working on your code. While nullable reference types don’t give you runtime safety, the design-time and compile-time help is priceless! Read more »
The C# nullability features introduced in C#8 help you minimize the likelihood of encountering that dreaded System.NullReferenceException. Nullability syntax and annotations give hints on whether a type can be nullable or not. Better static analysis is available to catch unhandled nulls while developing your code. W... Read more »
