This article discusses 6 rules for C# that help AI assistants like Cursor or Claude Code write C# code that follows .NET conventions and passes code review.

💡

Why it matters

These rules help AI-generated C# code meet enterprise-level standards and avoid common pitfalls, improving code quality and developer productivity.

Key Points

  • 1Enforce async/await usage correctly - ban async void and .Result
  • 2Enforce constructor injection with interfaces - ban new for services
  • 3Use immutable value objects instead of mutable classes
  • 4Prefer expression-bodied members over block bodies
  • 5Use string interpolation instead of string concatenation
  • 6Avoid LINQ queries that can be replaced with simple foreach loops

Details

The article outlines 6 key rules for writing enterprise-grade C# code using AI assistants like Cursor or Claude Code. The rules cover best practices around async/await usage, dependency injection, immutable value objects, expression-bodied members, string interpolation, and LINQ queries. Each rule includes before/after examples to illustrate the changes. Following these rules helps ensure the AI-generated C# code compiles correctly, adheres to .NET conventions, and passes code review the first time.
