.Net 5 Freakin Annoying
-
Yeah, and in my original message, I stated that I did that. The code I was trying to convert has been around for 10 years, and has been working flawlessly the entire time. I've already done the defensive coding that's needed. I've been coding for over 40 years. I think I know pretty much how to do this stuff. And making an object nullable doesn't mean you don't still have to check it before using it, so you gain nothing at all by making it nullable in terms of how much code you have to write.

Suppose, I have a function Decode(List Buffer), not Decode(List? Buffer). Well, the moment a null gets passed to this function, the runtime throws an exception. I don't have to check anything in the function, the runtime does for me. More importantly, it throws at the exact point where a null gets converted to a can't-be-null, when taking a List? (or List with nullable disabled), any point in my function using this object can throw and depending on how the code is written, the crash stack trace may or may not end up a gordian knot to debug. With nullable, the stack trace is clear.

I'd have thought it was more annoying that .NET 5 is only supported until May: Microsoft .NET and .NET Core - Microsoft Lifecycle | Microsoft Docs[^] The current "long-term support" version is .NET 6, which is supported until ... November 2024[^]. Turns out not having to rewrite everything every three years is yet another bonus to sticking with .NET Framework 4.8.

What is truly annoying about .NET 5 only supported until May is that projects targeting .NET 6 are not supported in VS2019, so not only do you have to upgrade projects to .NET 6 you have to upgrade environments to VS2022 to work with those projects.

It's screaming about a bunch of warnings that didn't crop up in .Net Framework. CS8600, 8601, 8602, and 8618. I see no benefit when the objects it's screaming about can in fact be null without hurting anything. In fact, my code is written to handle it gracefully. Nanny state bullsh|t...

Nullables _kinda_ make sense because people get silly around the value `null`, so you can use this feature to get the compiler to do null checks instead of doing them yourself - but I turn this off because otherwise it warns in a lot of places where I'm already considering that. Implicit usings, imo, may make the code seem to be a little more convenient, but then hide the dependencies of the code - and will add in dependencies that you're not using, which is really annoying if you use something like ReSharper to import an unknown type with alt-enter and there happens to be a same-named type in the implicit imports :confused: You _may_ also check out dotnet 6, since you're upgrading, and 6 is already RTM.

I have been sticking with .NET 4.6 since that is the framework I have been developing my current project in. When I started the project, WPF wasn't fully supported in the new .NET frameworks. No problems at all and I still have access to all that "legacy" technology that disappeared with the new .NET Core Frameworks...

Dude, go back and re-read my original message. I've already done that. It was freakin annoying to have to, which is the entire point of my rant.

I do that too. I already handle the null checks, and just because something is nullable doesn't mean you can just willy-nilly use objects without null checking before hand.

I typically use .Net 4.7, but in this instance, I was curious about Avalonia and writing a cross-platform app, so I am trying to convert a 10-year-old WPF app to it, and in the process, I chose to use .net 5.0. Avalonia is even more infuriating than .Net5. I went in thinking it was a "better wpf than wpf", but there are a seemingly infinite number of things that it does differently (for instance, instead of having the
Visibilityattribute, it'sIsVisible, which broke a moderate amount of XAML and viewmodels). Many of the same WPF principles apply, but there are enough differences that an experienced WPF dev will be tearing their hair out trying to get it to work.".45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly" - JSOP, 2010

The only thing I am interested with the new .NET Core Frameworks is Blazor Server-Side. It appears to be a return to WebForms with a twist, which I have been predicting for years... :)
