So no one else is going to sniff haughtily at the observation that only one of the revision notes ('removed fds "system") is even vaguely useful? The rest are either stupid, cute, or stupidly cute.
I farking hate that sort of crap.

That is what happens when the source control system requires comments but no one actually reviews code.

File this one under Weird.
I just built a new project in .NET Core 6 using the command:
c:\> dotnet new console -o SuperConsole
This produced a basic console app that outputs "Hello, World!"
Then I took a look at Program.cs and noticed that the entirety of the code is:
Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!");
No Main Function!?!
Yep, that's right. There is no main function!!
Here's the link that explains it.
C# template changes in .NET 6 - .NET | Microsoft Docs[^]
Here's a bit of explanation from the site:
Explanation at link: You can look at the code for the new application and imagine that it contains the statements inside the Main method generated by earlier templates. You can add more statements to the program, just like you can add more statements to your Main method in the traditional style. You can even add functions. They're created as local functions nested inside the generated Main method.
I'ma no on that. Functions nested in Main? 
And it tells you that you can still add in the Main method the old way yourself and use it that way.
Is C# trying to be JavaScript?

This actually comes in handy for something I have planned for a new version of a tool I wrote for work. C# scripting support built into another DSL script.
|
|
|
|
|
Something that generates a separate EXE? So you don't have to generate the boiler-plate Main() method etc? Is that how it helps?
|
|
|
|
|
Kind of. The C# script would be compiled and executed without generating an .EXE on disk. It would all be in-memory. At least, that's the plan.
The "script" support for previous C# versions sucks as I recall. It's been a few years since I've dabbled with it.
|
|
|
|
|
I use dotnet-script. No real complaints from me.
Easy to install dotnet tool install -g dotnet-script
Easy scaffolding in VS Code (for debug support) dotnet script init
Easy to execute dotnet script <filename>
You can skip the second step if you just want to execute stuff with no debug support.
|
|
|
|
|
Not usable in my situation. I have to include any libraries in the resulting .EXE and distribute a single executable. Using any "dotnot" commands will not work for me.
|
|

I did that a few years ago. It makes a nice scripting utility. I had to figure out what shortcuts in the IDE were not in the compiler, but that did not take long. Mine worked out well, and I used it in a production app. I added in some safeguards, like making sure the C# script had not been tampered with (lots of opportunity for a disgruntled employee to alter an existing script to wreck havoc on production systems).

Hmm...
I'm pretty sure that AV solutions will go berserk on that....

now I'm curious... don't tell me you provide documentation for exceptions / custom rules

I wish I could, but I've said as much as I can.
You know how it goes.

*NOW* I am curious..... that sounds a bit dirty and a bit black arts.....

Seriously, I'm going to have to do a bit of research as my present job involves *preventing* that kind of thing....

Pretty sure you could have done that since C# 1.0. And you can certainly do it now.
You create the code.
You compile the code into a 'file' which is actually just a hunk of memory. That is the "dll"
You then run the code in the "dll"

Yep, and it was ugly and included certain restrictions on how the code had to be written.

I would need more details. How the code and not for example process failures would lead to problems.
I have worked on two products in C# that did dynamic code compiling. Certainly no restrictions that ever stopped what I wanted to do or in one case many customers that were using the product to write code, for the actual code.
I didn't try to keep it in memory but the dlls were loaded dynamically in both cases. So converting to memory for that part would have been easy.
Now the entire process is "ugly" but in both cases there was much of what was done that could not have been done, in a product feature way, that would have removed that requirement.
In both cases people tended to get excited and then over use it. I have done the same with java (at least 3 times) and that problem happens with that as well. However that is a process problem not a code problem.
So in C# does it have to do with actually saving it to memory?
|
|
|
|

You're thinking in technical terms.
My issues with the previous ways of doing it are more "customer" issues than anything technical.

Noticed that too during my escapades with VS Code and .NET Core 6.0 on Zorin OS last thursday.
But at the end of the day I was glad I got the example working ...
|
|
|
|
|
You were able to install VS Code & dotnet core SDK etc on Zorin and create & compile a C# program on that OS?
Very interesting.
|
|
|
|

Yes, but Zorin OS Lite was apparently not a good choice for bleeding edge things like .Net Core 6.0.
Things probably would have been easier on the newer Zorin OS full version using the "Snap package manager".
Btw. in this video the new and strange ways of .NET Core 6.0 are explained:

Thanks for the link directly to that section of that longer video.
that was great addt'l info on this.
