Features of .Net core 7

Hello guys and welcome to Code2Night, your go-to destination for all things coding! Today, we are excited to talk about the latest released Features In .Net Core 7. For those who are not familiar, .NET Core is an open-source, cross-platform framework that allows developers to build high-performance, scalable, and reliable applications for Windows, Linux, and macOS. With each new release, the team adds new features and enhancements that make it easier and more enjoyable to work with the platform.

In this article, we will be discussing some of the expected features that could be included in Framework.

As of my knowledge cutoff of September 2021, .NET 7 was not yet released. However, I can provide some potential features that were expected to be included in .NET 7 based on announcements and previews.

1. Improvements to Async Streams:

Async streams allow for more efficient asynchronous data processing by enabling data to be streamed as it becomes available. With .NET 7, improvements to Async Streams were expected to make them even more powerful and easier to use.

Code Example:

await foreach (var item in myAsyncStream)
{
   // Process the data asynchronously
}

2. Improved Source Generators:

Source generators allow for automatic code generation at compile-time, enabling faster and more efficient code execution. With .NET 7, improved source generators were expected to make it easier to generate code and reduce the amount of boilerplate code required.

Code Example:

[GenerateMyCode]
public class MyClass
{
   // Generated code will be added here
}

3. Records:

Records are a new reference type introduced in C# 9 that provides a more concise way to define immutable objects. With .NET 7, records were expected to receive some performance improvements.

Code example:

public record Person(string Name, int Age);
var person = new Person("John", 30);

4. HTTP/3 Support:

With .NET 7, support for HTTP/3 was expected to be added, enabling more efficient and secure data transfer over the web.

Code example:

var httpClient = new HttpClient(new SocketsHttpHandler()
{
   EnableHttp3 = true
});

5. Native-sized integers:

Native-sized integers are a new feature in .NET 7 that allows for more efficient processing of integer values by using hardware-specific integer types.

Code Example:

nint myValue = 42;
nuint myUnsignedValue = 42u;

Please note that these features of .Net Core 7 were expected to be included in .NET 7, but the final release may differ from the preview features.
