This is true, but number = number + 1
feels a bit awkward especially when we have support in the language for other operators.
Additionally, exposing these types as suggested will allow third party developers to contribute additional operators in the future. For example, I like working with nullable enabled, so having nullableValue ??= foo
wrapped as an activity would be extremely valuable. Currently I have to do this as an if not null then assign, which doubles the amount of work I have to do for what should be a simple operation.
The IDE should make development easier, not harder.
Also promotes my Increment/Decrement and AddAssign/SubtractAssign expressions.
My added expressions are fully documented and ready for NET7. IfDefs can be removed if this is not desired.
Code also assumes a nullable context. I invite discussion on whether to remove nullable annotations or whether to enable nullable. I personally find it is more clear to the developer but this can be removed if requested.
All of these expressions expect numeric types (with appropriate constraints in Net7). In net6, theoretically any type would be allowed, but non-numeric types will throw. This is by design. The expressions simply provide activities for common C# operations.
Increment
=number++
Decrement
=number--
AddAssign
=number += otherNumber
SubtractAssign
=number -= otherNumber
If anyone knows how to add the designer files for these activities, please do let me know. I have been unable to figure out how to do this in Net6 and newer as PresentationCore does not seem to have been ported.
Edit: Fixes #288
