New in .NET 9.0 (8)

The first version of C# has since so -called variadic parameters (CF. Wikipedia entry for varied works)), With which a method can get a long list of a type of parameters if it can be obtained with keywords params Has been started.

The following codes show the previous version of a wadic parameter with arrays:

public void MethodeMitBeliebigVielenParametern_Alt(string text, 
                                                 params int() args)
{
 CUI.H2(nameof(MethodeMitBeliebigVielenParametern_Alt));
 CUI.Print(text + ": " + args.Length);
 foreach (var item in args)
 {
  CUI.LI(item);
 }
}

For example, the method can be called as follows:

Asus announces Zenfone 12 Ultra smartphone

MethodeMitbeliebigVielenParametern_Alt("Anzahl Zahlen", 1, 2, 3);
MethodeMitbeliebigVielenParametern_Alt("Number of numbers",
                                       1, 2, 3, 4);

The new in C# 13.0 is that instead of an array in variedic parameters, generic types can also be used (hence parameter collection) params Span,

public void MethodeMitBeliebigVielenParametern_Neu(string text,
                                                   params Span args)
{
 CUI.H2(nameof(MethodeMitBeliebigVielenParametern_Neu));
 CUI.Print(text + ": " + args.Length);  // statt args.Length
 foreach (var item in args)
 {
  CUI.LI(item);
 }
}

Similarly, the call is then flexible with the parameter array:

MethodeMitBeliebigVielenParametern_Neu("Anzahl Zahlen", 1, 2, 3);
MethodeMitBeliebigVielenParametern_Neu("Number of numbers", 
                                       1, 2, 3, 4);

Then these are normal types of types params C# 13.0 allowed:

• Collections.Generic.IEnumerable
• System.Collections.Generic.IReadOnlyCollection
• Collections.Generic.IReadOnlyList
• System.Collections.Generic.ICollection
• Collections.Generic.IList
• All classes Collections.Generic.IEnumerableimplement
• Span
• ReadOnlySpan

If possible, you should have a parameter list Span Or ReadOnlySpan Give so much that the parameter handover is completely through the stack and no storage allocation is done on the pile.

The way you can hand over a prepared array in a parameter array, which is then distributed in parameters

MethodeMitBeliebigVielenParametern_Alt(
  "Anzahl Zahlen - übergeben als Int-Array", 
  (1, 2, 3));

Can you also hand over one of the above new types if the method is expected to be a parameter collection:

MethodeMitBeliebigVielenParametern_Neu(
  "Anzahl Zahlen - übergeben als List", 
  new List { 1, 2, 3 });

Or

MethodeMitBeliebigVielenParametern_Neu(
  "Anzahl Zahlen - übergeben als List", 
  (1, 2, 3));

Note: The following syntax does not work:

MethodeMitBeliebigVielenParametern_Neu(
  "Anzahl Zahlen - übergeben als List", 
  new List (1, 2, 3 ));

It’s not possible there new List (1, 2, 3 ) A three -related array of List created.
