One question about C# records I hear every day.
People say they can use a with expression to set properties to whatever they wish, even to insane values.
Will this not attract bugs like a candle? - they keep asking.
The problem is they fail to notice that this assignment is no different from what they would do in a class with private setters.
Oh, sure, you may think, that's why we validate stuff before assigning it to encapsulated state in a class.
Shure you do. But don't you validate stuff before using it in a with expression, too?
That is the root cause of confusion.
With expressions must always be a part of a larger whole, where the data are sanitized and validated the same way as you do in any class method.

👨 About Me 👨
Hi, I’m Zoran, I have more than 20 years of experience as a software developer, architect, team lead, and more. I have been programming in C# since its inception in the early 2000s. Since 2017 I have started publishing professional video courses at Pluralsight and Udemy and by this point, there are over 100 hours of the highest-quality videos you can watch on those platforms. On my YouTube channel, you can find shorter video forms focused on clarifying practical issues in coding, design, and architecture of .NET applications.❤️
