Overview of this book

Traditionally associated with Windows desktop applications and game development, C# has expanded into web, cloud, and mobile development. However, despite its extensive coding features, professionals often encounter issues with efficiency, scalability, and maintainability due to poor code. Clean Code in C# guides you in identifying and resolving these problems using coding best practices. This book starts by comparing good and bad code to emphasize the importance of coding standards, principles, and methodologies. It then covers code reviews, unit testing, and test-driven development, and addresses cross-cutting concerns. As you advance through the chapters, you’ll discover programming best practices for objects, data structures, exception handling, and other aspects of writing C# computer programs. You’ll also explore API design and code quality enhancement tools, while studying examples of poor coding practices to understand what to avoid. By the end of this clean code book, you’ll have the developed the skills needed to apply industry-approved coding practices to write clean, readable, extendable, and maintainable C# code.

PostSharp and build pipeline considerations

When it comes to integrating PostSharp into a build pipeline, there are a few key considerations:

  1. Installation on build server: PostSharp is typically installed on the build server as part of the build process. This ensures that the necessary PostSharp tasks and tools are available during the compilation of your code. The build server needs to have PostSharp installed globally, or at least in a location accessible during the build process. This may involve using tools such as NuGet to manage PostSharp as a package or manually installing it on the build server.
  2. Build process integration: In your project file (for example, .csproj for a C# project), you would typically include references to PostSharp targets or tasks. These references inform the build system to execute PostSharp tasks during the build process. PostSharp tasks will analyze your code and apply the specified aspects. This step usually occurs after the compilation of...
