C# 6.0–Expression Bodied Members

This blog post is part of C# 6.0 Features Series.

There are lots of great features added to C# 6.0 and Expression bodied members are one of them. It’s provide great syntax sugar which will help you make your code more beautiful and readable.  In earlier versions of C# type definitions were always been tedious and we need to provide a curly braces and return type even if that function contains one single line. Expression bodied function will help you in such scenarios.

Let’s take a example to understand it. Following is a code to understand it.

using System;

namespace ExpressionBodiedMemebers
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Person person = new Person
            {
                FirstName = "Jalpesh",
                LastName = "Vadgama"
            };
            Console.WriteLine(person.GetFullName());
        }
    }

    public class Person
    {
        public string FirstName { get; set; }
        public string LastName { get; set; }

        public string GetFullName()
        {
            return string.Format("{FirstName} {LastName}");
        }
    }
}
