These are the standards our team has come to agreement with this project.
- Usage of
var
- Can I, in general, using common sense, use them?
- Expected: Yes, they are used in the Core code when type is inferred and/or obvious.
- When is it OK to do it?
- For built-in types? (Example:
var i = 5;)- YES
- When a variable type is apparent? (Example:
var c = new C();)- YES
- Elsewhere? (I expect not.)
- Not recommended tbh.
- For built-in types? (Example:
-
Line endings
- CR/LF (Windows Style)
-
Tabs or spaces?
- Spaces. (forced by VisualStudio anyway)
-
Usage of
this.?- Nope. Only when necessary for certain functionalities of C#.
- Use composition instead of inheritance
- Classes should achieve polymorphic behavior and code reuse by their composition (by containing instances of other classes that implement the desired functionality) rather than inheritance from a base or parent class.
- Classes should be smaller than 150 lines.
- Methods with functionality should be smaller than 10 lines.
