BenchmarkDotNet v0.10.13 has been released! This release includes:

• Mono Support for DisassemblyDiagnoser: Now you can easily get an assembly listing not only on .NET Framework/.NET Core, but also on Mono. It works on Linux, macOS, and Windows (Windows requires installed cygwin with obj and as). (See #541)
• Support ANY CoreFX and CoreCLR builds: BenchmarkDotNet allows the users to run their benchmarks against ANY CoreCLR and CoreFX builds. You can compare your local build vs MyGet feed or Debug vs Release or one version vs another. (See #651)
• C# 7.2 support (See #643)
• .NET 4.7.1 support (See 28aa94)
• Support Visual Basic project files (.vbroj) targeting .NET Core (See #626)
• DisassemblyDiagnoser now supports generic types (See #640)
• Now it's possible to benchmark both Mono and .NET Core from the same app (See #653)
• Many bug fixes (See details below)

public class Cat : IAnimal

}

Cat cat = null;
Dog dog = new();
IAnimal animal = cat ?? dog;

(int a, int b) t = new(1, 2); // "new" is redundant

(int a, int b) t = new(); // OK; same as (0, 0)

bool totalSuccess = First() & Second();
If you want both operations to happen regardless of whether the first succeeded then using && would be wrong. (And similarly if you want to know if either succeeded, you’d use | instead of ||.)

An Introduction to .NET MAUI For Mobile Development

.NET Multi-platform App UI (.NET MAUI) is a cross-platform framework for creating native mobile and desktop apps with C# and XAML.
.NET MAUI is open-source and is the evolution of Xamarin.Forms, extended from mobile to desktop scenarios, with UI controls rebuilt from the ground up for performance and extensibility. If you've previously used Xamarin.Forms to build cross-platform user interfaces, you'll notice many similarities with .NET MAUI. However, there are also some differences. Using .NET MAUI, you can create multi-platform apps using a single project, but you can add platform-specific source code and resources if necessary. One of the key aims of .NET MAUI is to enable you to implement as much of your app logic and UI layout as possible in a single code-base.
