What happens with returning IEnumerable if used with async/await (streaming data from SQL Server with Dapper)?
I am using Dapper to stream data from a very large set in SQL Server. It works fine with returning IEnumerable and calling Query(), but when I switch to QueryAsync(), it seems that the program tries to read all of the data from SQL Server instead of streaming.
According to this question, it should w...

C# 8.0 availability in Visual Studio 2017?
I'd like to use C# 8.0 (especially ranges and non-nullable reference types). I only found some information that there is a preview of it in the new VS2019 (even that is 2 months old now).
Are there any plans that C# 8.0 is eventually also coming to VS17?

Why doesn't the new hat-operator index from the C# 8 array-slicing feature start at 0?
C# 8.0 introduces a convenient way to slice arrays - see official C# 8.0 blogpost.
The syntax to access the last element of an array is
int value[] = { 10, 11, 12, 13 };
int a = value[^1]; // 13
int b = value[^2]; // 12
I'm wondering why the indexing for accessing the elements backwards starts at...

Does C# 8 annotate nullable properties and parameters?
I'm curious about how nullable reference types work, not in your own codebase, but with an already compiled library. Will C# be able to know if a property or parameter is nullable, perhaps checking the existance of some compiler-added attribute?

Can new C# language features be used to to clean-up Task.WhenAll syntax?
With 'async everywhere', the ability to fire off multiple heterogeneous operations is becoming more frequent.

Default Interface Implementations. What is deep meaningful difference now, between abstract class and interface?
I know that an abstract class is a special kind of class that cannot be instantiated. An abstract class is only to be sub-classed (inherited from). In other words, it only allows other classes to inherit from it but cannot be instantiated. The advantage is that it enforces certain hierarchies for al...
