Pull Request Overview

This PR adds clarification about the behavior of the empty property pattern (is { }) in C#, which was previously undocumented in the patterns documentation.

Key Changes:

• Added a note explaining that the empty property pattern is { } matches all non-null values and can be used as an alternative to is not null for creating variables.

Hi @AdmiralSnyder

I like this change. I think it would be more clear to readers if you added an example of is { } as a null check. Can you make that addition?

[AdmiralSnyder]

hi @BillWagner i didn't know how the
:::code language="csharp" source="snippets/patterns/PropertyPattern.cs" id="WithTypeCheck":::
worked, or rather, how i add a second file into the commit/PR from the github UI (using the convenient "edit" function) - you mean, that, right?

or do you mean just expanding the inline code ?

[BillWagner]

@AdmiralSnyder

Adding a second file in the same PR isn't easy in the GitHub UI. If you add an inline example, I'll move it to the included snippets.

[AdmiralSnyder]

is that sample something like what you were thinking of @BillWagner
(also, as an aside, i pinged you from another issue, dotnet/sdk#51268 (comment)
pointing you to it in case you don't get notifications about pings in issues that have already marked as completed or not planned... - could you have a look into that, by any chance?)

[BillWagner]

Thanks @AdmiralSnyder

I did pull your branch down, and put the sample in the correct snippet folder. I'll approve and merge once the build finishes.

[BillWagner]

closing and reopening to try a new build.

Thanks again @AdmiralSnyder

This LGTM, and I'll now.
