Returning a Task directly vs async/await passthrough in a C# repository method: which should you use?

Eliding async/await in a repository passthrough saves about 6 ns and 72 bytes, and costs you a stack frame, try/catch semantics, and safe disposal. Keep return await unless the method is a pure passthrough on a measured hot path.

How to write a static extension member that applies to every enum type in C# 14

Declare a generic extension block with a struct, Enum constraint and you get Status.Values, Status.Count, and Status.Parse on every enum in your solution. The receiver shape, the CS0704 and CS0428 traps, and why you must cache Enum.GetValues.

Fix: The call is ambiguous between the following methods or properties after moving to C# 14 extension members

CS0121 after moving an extension method into a C# 14 extension block: the compiler still emits the old static form. Delete the duplicate or qualify the call.

How to make System.Text.Json ignore a property that has the required modifier

[JsonIgnore] on a required member throws InvalidOperationException: marked required but does not specify a setter. Here is why the two features collide and the four ways to ignore the property anyway, measured on .NET 10.

Fix: CS1998 "This async method lacks 'await' operators and will run synchronously" in C#

CS1998 means an async method has no await, so it runs synchronously. Drop the async modifier and return Task.FromResult, or add the await you forgot.

Fix: CS4014 "Because this call is not awaited, execution of the current method continues" in C#

CS4014 means you called a Task-returning method without awaiting it. Add await, or discard with _ = if fire-and-forget is truly intended, and handle exceptions.

Fix: CS8618 "Non-nullable property must contain a non-null value when exiting constructor" in C#

CS8618 means a non-nullable field or property was not initialized by the time the constructor finished. Set it in the constructor, give it a default, mark it required, or make it nullable.

Fix: CS9035 "Required member 'X' must be set in the object initializer" in C#

CS9035 means a member marked required was not assigned. Set it in the object initializer, or add a constructor annotated with [SetsRequiredMembers] that assigns every required member.

How to declare extension properties in C# 14

Extension properties land in C# 14 through the new extension block. Declare get-only, settable, static, and generic extension properties, why auto-properties are rejected, and how the compiler lowers them to get_/set_ accessors.
