public class X {
  private readonly string _name = string.Empty;

  public X(string? name)
  {
    _name = name ?? string.Empty;
  }
  public bool IsValid()
  {
    return !string.IsNullOrEmpty(_name);
  }
}


ListMethodsInCurrentFile show me "X, X.IsValid, X.X(string? name)"

When I use C# with TargetFrameWork net9.0, I got IDE0290 'Use primary constructor'.

If I follow the suggestion then the code looks like this.


public class X(string? name) {

 private readonly string _name = name ?? string.Empty;

 public bool IsValid()
 {
   return !string.IsNullOrEmpty(_name);
 }
}

ListMethodsInCurrentFile then only show me "X(string? name)"

Thank you for the clear description. Unfortunately VA doesn't currently support C# primary constructors, but this is something that is on our list of things to fix:

case=165542

One user who ran into this reported adding the following to suppress the prompt for now:

[System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.SuppressMessage("Style", "IDE0290:Use primary constructor", Justification = "Otherwise Visual Assist will not recognize the members.")]


If you have a moment you might want to report this via email to [email protected] since the new reports that get run to track interest in, and problems with open cases only pick up things reported via email, not posted here to the forum. So that would give this case a bit more weight.
