This is super useful to get into the compiler. I bet probably 80% of the exceptions I encounter are Null Reference Exceptions. Also I shoutout to a quick Yield video.

Very clear thanks. Using Nullable Ref Types with EF POCO classes feels awkward, I've been suppressing it with the null forgivable operator, but maybe 'init' from C#9 will improve this? And yes for Yield
Thanks for watching! 'init' will just ensure that the property won't be changed after it's constructed, so probably wouldn't help in your case I'm afraid. Have you seen this: docs.microsoft.com/en-us/ef/core/miscellaneous/nullable-reference-types ? An interesting read on nullable reference types with EF.
Thanks for a great video. One question; is it overkill to use both null-conditional operator in conjuction with the negation pattern? Eg; if (person is not null) //Negation pattern. Does it do the same as null-conditional check below? { var firstName = person?.FirstName; //Is this what we in Sweden call "hängslen and livrem" and unnecessary? }
Hi Filip, great content and an outstanding presentation. I work as a trainer myself and use OBS for a lot of video training nowadays. What do you use for this awesome green screen effect in the video? Keep this great stuff coming also really like your Pluralsight courses! Thanks
Thank you very much Sebastian! For the green screen and keying it, I use DaVinci Resolve. If you want GPU acceleration you can pay a one-time license fee, otherwise it's a free tool. I can't praise it enough, such a great software that "just works" :) I've used OBS as well, but it's two completely different tools in my opinion. I stitch everything together manually and do my edits in Resolve. What's even better is that if I badly light my green screen, which does happen, I can select multiple shades and tweak the keying until it's good enough. It's not the fastest process, but I quite enjoy the post processing part! Hope this helps
@@FilipEkberg I agree that OBS and DaVinci Resolve are two completely different tools that serve two distinct purposes. I use OBS for my live video productions via Teams. Actually I use Resolve for my post production stuff as well. Great to see what results you achieve using it. I have also used Final Cut Pro as well as Premiere Pro for video processing. But currently Resolve is my favourite tool for this purpose as well. Thanks for letting me know what you use in your toolchain! It's those tools which make the process enjoyable ;-) Thanks again
Good Video Filip. Can you explain about the #nullable restore and where to add the #nullable enable directive either before namespace or class when applying to the class? The indention was to understand the best practices.
Thank you! If you are slowly refactoring a project I would add the #nullable enable directive in the file before the namespace. When you have completely refactored the project, I'd recommend enabling the setting in the project file instead, and remove "#nullable enable" from the files, to make it a bit more clean. Hope this helps!
It's name is "null coalescing operator". Simply put, it's a way to check if everything on the left of ?? is null, for example: var name = person.Name ?? "Filip"; If the property "Name" is null, the variable "name" will now contain the value "Filip". What ?? did was to check if person.Name was null, if it was it uses "Filip". The "old" way of writing this would be: string name; if(person.Name == null) { name = "Filip"; } else { name = person.Name; } You can read more about it on the Microsoft docs: docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/operators/null-coalescing-operator Really handy language feature!
Microsoft solves probles that created by his own. Not nullable references should exist since C# 1. And there is a lack of keyword which should enforce programmer to check whether method result is null or not null.

Thanks soooo much I needed to hear the first part where you have to use new to allocate an instance. Thanks for the info, your a life saver.
Wow, your way of presenting information is just phenomenal.
You make me recheck all my projects and rethink about nullable types. Thanks for the info shared.
Thanks for watching the video, glad you found it useful!
If you can find even just one potential null reference exception it's a win!
Right there with you, Nick
Watched your async course on Pluralsight, best C# tutorial author and tutor!
Thank you so much for those kind words!
thank you for a great presentation, it simplified and understanding the work with issue nullable and very handy with key features in C#9
very informative, what a great Teacher
Like your content! Please add a video on Events and Delegates.

Omg! Perfect. Not indian english. Thank you for the content!
You are providing very good explanations!!! Please publish more videos in the future.
Thank you so much! I will, soon :)
Hi, thank you for this great video. It's easy to understand 👍
I also agree that your next vid should be the yield keyword :)
Thank you for the kind words!
Very good video. Hope you make many more.
Thanks for delivering deep diving leacture 👍
My pleasure!
Thanks for the great content. That would be more great if you get to "yield" later in another video. Cheers!
Very good and clear explanation. Thank you.
Amazing explanation!
At 12:28 something strange. Default value for string is string.empty. So I do not understand null reference warning.

Thank you for the clear explanation .What is the use of #nullable restore and when to use it?
Thanks for the amazing video, kindly how can I convert the nullable from warning to error?
Thanks! You can enable "Treat Warnings as Errors" in the project properties!
Thanks always forgot to enable this but should be using if(person is null) instead of ==
Thanks for explaining!
Nice video!

What does the “two question marks” mean? What is it named?
It's name is "null coalescing operator".
Simply put, it's a way to check if everything on the left of ?? is null, for example:
var name = person.Name ?? "Filip";
If the property "Name" is null, the variable "name" will now contain the value "Filip". What ?? did was to check if person.Name was null, if it was it uses "Filip".
The "old" way of writing this would be:
string name;
if(person.Name == null)
{
name = "Filip";
}
else
{
name = person.Name;
}

Null object pattern fixes all the nullable issues!
