Bits of .NET

Full method/property syntax is verbose for simple operations. Expression-bodied members reduce boilerplate.

Properties:

// Old way
public string FullName
{
    get { return FirstName + " " + LastName; }
}

// Expression-bodied (C# 6+)
public string FullName => FirstName + " " + LastName;

Methods:

// Old way
public int Add(int a, int b)
{
    return a + b;
}

// Expression-bodied
public int Add(int a, int b) => a + b;

Constructors (C# 7+):

// Old way
public Person(string name)
{
    Name = name;
}

// Expression-bodied
public Person(string name) => Name = name;

Get/Set (C# 7+):

private string _name;

public string Name
{
    get => _name;
    set => _name = value?.Trim() ?? string.Empty;
}

Clean, readable, less boilerplate!
