This is super useful to get into the compiler. I bet probably 80% of the exceptions I encounter are Null Reference Exceptions. Also I shoutout to a quick Yield video.
I’m starting out with c# kinda and am going through a c# book and doing the activities when I seen an null warning and wanted to see what it meant and ways to fix it. Great vid
Hi Filip, great content and an outstanding presentation. I work as a trainer myself and use OBS for a lot of video training nowadays. What do you use for this awesome green screen effect in the video? Keep this great stuff coming also really like your Pluralsight courses! Thanks
Thank you very much Sebastian! For the green screen and keying it, I use DaVinci Resolve. If you want GPU acceleration you can pay a one-time license fee, otherwise it's a free tool. I can't praise it enough, such a great software that "just works" :) I've used OBS as well, but it's two completely different tools in my opinion. I stitch everything together manually and do my edits in Resolve. What's even better is that if I badly light my green screen, which does happen, I can select multiple shades and tweak the keying until it's good enough. It's not the fastest process, but I quite enjoy the post processing part! Hope this helps
@@FilipEkberg I agree that OBS and DaVinci Resolve are two completely different tools that serve two distinct purposes. I use OBS for my live video productions via Teams. Actually I use Resolve for my post production stuff as well. Great to see what results you achieve using it. I have also used Final Cut Pro as well as Premiere Pro for video processing. But currently Resolve is my favourite tool for this purpose as well. Thanks for letting me know what you use in your toolchain! It's those tools which make the process enjoyable ;-) Thanks again
Very clear thanks. Using Nullable Ref Types with EF POCO classes feels awkward, I've been suppressing it with the null forgivable operator, but maybe 'init' from C#9 will improve this? And yes for Yield
Thanks for watching! 'init' will just ensure that the property won't be changed after it's constructed, so probably wouldn't help in your case I'm afraid. Have you seen this: docs.microsoft.com/en-us/ef/core/miscellaneous/nullable-reference-types ? An interesting read on nullable reference types with EF.
Microsoft solves probles that created by his own. Not nullable references should exist since C# 1. And there is a lack of keyword which should enforce programmer to check whether method result is null or not null.
Good Video Filip. Can you explain about the #nullable restore and where to add the #nullable enable directive either before namespace or class when applying to the class? The indention was to understand the best practices.
Thank you! If you are slowly refactoring a project I would add the #nullable enable directive in the file before the namespace. When you have completely refactored the project, I'd recommend enabling the setting in the project file instead, and remove "#nullable enable" from the files, to make it a bit more clean. Hope this helps!

You make me recheck all my projects and rethink about nullable types. Thanks for the info shared.
Thanks for watching the video, glad you found it useful!
If you can find even just one potential null reference exception it's a win!
Right there with you, Nick
Thanks soooo much I needed to hear the first part where you have to use new to allocate an instance. Thanks for the info, your a life saver.
Thanks for the great content. That would be more great if you get to "yield" later in another video. Cheers!
Hi, thank you for this great video. It's easy to understand 👍
I also agree that your next vid should be the yield keyword :)
Thank you for the kind words!
Watched your async course on Pluralsight, best C# tutorial author and tutor!
Thank you so much for those kind words!
Wow, your way of presenting information is just phenomenal.
Omg! Perfect. Not indian english. Thank you for the content!
very informative, what a great Teacher
thank you for a great presentation, it simplified and understanding the work with issue nullable and very handy with key features in C#9
Like your content! Please add a video on Events and Delegates.
You are providing very good explanations!!! Please publish more videos in the future.
Thank you so much! I will, soon :)

This was really great, thanks, man!
Thanks for delivering deep diving leacture 👍
My pleasure!
Very good and clear explanation. Thank you.
Great video.
Thanks a lot! very helpful!
Amazing explanation!
Great video super useful. It would be great to have a video on yield!!!
Nice video!
Such a great video! Tack så mycket!
Thanks for explaining!
Thanks always forgot to enable this but should be using if(person is null) instead of ==
we want a video on "yield" !!!
Will do! Keep an eye out :)
thank you :)
Null object pattern fixes all the nullable issues!
Greate video
OMG, You make such a good content, I like you!
Thank you so much 🙏
More is on the way!!

Thanks for the amazing video, kindly how can I convert the nullable from warning to error?
Thanks! You can enable "Treat Warnings as Errors" in the project properties!

At 12:28 something strange. Default value for string is string.empty. So I do not understand null reference warning.

What does the “two question marks” mean? What is it named?
It's name is "null coalescing operator".
Simply put, it's a way to check if everything on the left of ?? is null, for example:
var name = person.Name ?? "Filip";
If the property "Name" is null, the variable "name" will now contain the value "Filip". What ?? did was to check if person.Name was null, if it was it uses "Filip".
The "old" way of writing this would be:
string name;
if(person.Name == null)
{
name = "Filip";
}
else
{
name = person.Name;
}
You can read more about it on the Microsoft docs: docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/operators/null-coalescing-operator
Really handy language feature!
