C# 11 - Required Keyword
Introducing the required keyword for fields and properties.
In C# 11, when a member is declared as required, the compiler will issue an error when the member is not set at creation:
var person = new Person { FirstName = "Tom", LastName = "Kazansky" };
// error: FirstName and LastName are not set
// var p = new Person();
class Person
{
public required string FirstName;
public required string LastName { get; init; }
}
ReSharper and Rider fully support the required keyword: it is recognized in your code and listed in code completion.
They also provide code analysis and quick-fixes to initialize the required fields and properties.
