Hello! We got this project that requires us to build data structures into a hierachical text structure ( like xml, or json). When i search for json and .net, the libraries i find seem to be really good for serializing. But serializing isn't what i need. I need something like the System.Xml.Linq.XElement class. Just create a node and put other nodes inside. Supersimple. I will try the most common libraries out there of course, but i would love to hear your experiences with it. Have you done something like that? Do yoo have recommendations for me?

Are you running the application in admin mode? Windows 10 blocks drag&drop for security reasons under circumstances.

I recommend - StyleCop.Analyzers - CodeCracker for C# ( Extension ) - and use the VS CodeAnalysis. Those give a good insight about how things should be done. Don't take every rule as required, but instead think how it suits your project. The help articles are great at explaining why and how and when. Write UnitTests. When you convert Methods, you may want to try them anyway. And trying them by clicking through the software and creating the situations every time you want to test something is a sisyphus work. The Addon AxoCover can show you which branches of codes are used in the test cases. A lot of devs are "yeah making tests takes time and i dont have it", and yes it takes time if you write them afterwards. Write them instead of playground console apps and wasting time by clicking though the ui. If you notice a class can not be tested, because it requires a lot of other classes, your class may be not that good. Oh and good luck, sir!
