💡 C# Tips

✔️ The ToString function, which was inherited from the System.Object. value is converted into its string representation using the Object class.

✔️Introduced in C# 6.0, the 𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗳() keyword is used to retrieve a variable, type, or member's name as a string at compile time. It's beneficial to keep your code refactor-friendly.

✔️The ideal method for converting an enum to a string is nameof(). This is because nameof() is assessed at compile time and will inject a constant string literal, whereas ToString() is evaluated at runtime. This means that nameof() is more efficient and can help your code run faster.

• Here is a simple example, I have used.

✔️Benchmarking results of ToString() vs NameOf() methods:

As we can see, the nameof method requires no memory allocation and is 100 times faster than the ToString function.
