·       Switch expression
Here is a list of C# 8.0 features, from recent preview releases:
  • Nullable reference types: design with intent, decide that some variables must always have a value, while others may be missing a value, using nullable reference types.
  • Asynchronous streams: create and consume async streams, e.g. large streams of data
  • Indices and ranges: Specify subranges of data with Span<T>, indicate indices in the subsets of data
  • Pattern matching enhancements:
    • Switch expressions: replace repetitive switch-case blocks with simpler switch expressions
    • Property patterns: enhance switch statements by matching an object’s properties
    • Tuple patterns: use tuples for cases when matching sets of values
    • Positional patterns: used to simplify the way we apply recursive patterns without having to name an object’s properties
  • Using declarations: used to simplify using blocks (within which an object is disposed when done) by disposing of the object at the end of the enclosing scope, i.e. its parent block.
  • Static local functions: useful for local methods that are intended to be static.
  • Disposable ref structs: allows the use of Dispose() methods to allow implementation of IDisposable in structs declared with a ref modifier.
