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.

Class organization

The way to organize an actual class will differ between organizations, but the key is consistency. The way you will be shown to organize a class in this section is just one possible way. It is the way that I have most commonly encountered in the workplace.

The way to organize a class file is as follows:

  • Class file comments
  • Using statements
  • The namespace
  • The class
  • Fields
  • The constructor
  • Properties
  • Private methods
  • Public methods

As you can see, this ordering makes it easy to know where in the code to look for class components. To make organization even easier, you can use regions. Regions are collapsible code used to group items together. When you have a long class file, regions can help to make your code much easier to work on – even more so when constructors, properties, and methods are collapsed with them.

The following code shows how you could organize your class files as we’ve spoken about:
