In June 2016, the open-source library Light.GuardClauses was released for the first time. In this talk, the author shares insights and behind-the-scenes experiences from working in the open-source ecosystem of Microsoft’s .NET platform.

After a brief introduction to what Light.GuardClauses actually does, we’ll dive into several current and practical topics:

  • How to use the new csproj format introduced with MSBuild 15 to target multiple frameworks from a single project
  • How to leverage the open-source C# compiler Roslyn to automatically generate and validate code
  • How the library’s performance was optimized using BenchmarkDotNet
