Each year at .NET Conf, Dustin Campbell and Mads Torgersen unwrap the gift of a new C# version. If you're anything like me, you can't wait to sink your fingers into its shiny new features, promising a vastly improved coding experience. Yet, the next day, you're back working on a .NET Framework solution still stuck in C# 7.old. But there's a cure for that. A cure that doesn't involve migrating to .NET 8. In this session, I'll show you that cure and share various tips and tricks to make C# coding easier.

We'll explore how to make NuGet package version management simpler and more secure, how to quickly test code snippets or explore how a .NET feature works, and how to use analysers to boost your productivity. Join me as we look at things that although they might not all directly involve writing code, they make coding more efficient and enjoyable.
