Important Notes

  • The generated class is in C#, so it only works in C# projects.
  • The C# code contains C# 7.3 syntax in some categories. Make sure it is enabled in your project by going to Project Properties → Build → Advanced...
  • The C# code contains Nullable Reference Type feature available in C# 8. It will only be generated if Visual Studio 2019 is used. No way to opt-out at this point.
  • This package is tested on latest versions of Visual Studio 2019/2017.

Known Issues

  • If the nuget package is removed for any reason then immediately added back, no .tt file will be added to the project. This is a bug in Visual Studio/Nuget. The initialization script for the nuget package is not run the second time until Visual Studio is restarted.
  • If package is added to one project, then immediately to another, the second project doesn't get the .tt file. This is due to the same bug as above and VS should be restarted between adds.
There are no supported framework assets in this package.

- In version 1.0.0-beta.5, support for Visual Studio 2017 was added and tested. Roslyn syntax analyzers are used to detect and mark the nullable-ref specific syntax, so later on the T4 template can remove them if necessary.
- All C# 8.0 syntax was removed for lower version compatibility. Only Nullable Reference Types are used from C# 8.0.
- License changed from GPL to Unlicense
- IGrouping.ToDictionary now returns a dictionary of arrays rather than IEnumerables.
- Added sorted list functionality to IList using AddSorted and BinarySearch extension methods. You can treat an IList as a sorted list.
- The string extension methods now have ReadOnlySpan<char> counterparts.
- Bug fixes and improvements.
