C# 13 extends the params modifier beyond arrays to support Span, ReadOnlySpan, IEnumerable, and other collection types, reducing boilerplate and improving flexibility.

How to fix 'Feature is not available in C# 12.0' and switch your project to C# 13 by changing the target framework or setting LangVersion in your .csproj file.

A summary of all new features in C# 14.0, including the field keyword, extension members, null-conditional assignment, implicit span conversions, and more.

The evolution of C# has transformed it into a modern, high-performance language. This guide tracks every major milestone. The Early Years (C# 1.0 – 1.2) C# launched in 2002 as a primary language for the .NET Framework. It felt like Java but with a focus on Windows development. Version 1.2 arrived shortly after with small…
