Is there a simple attribute or data contract that I can assign to a function parameter that prevents null
from being passed in C#/.NET? Ideally this would also
not the prettiest but:
public static bool ContainsNullParameters(object[] methodParams)
{
return (from o in methodParams where o == null).Count() > 0;
}
you could get more creative in the ContainsNullParameters method too:
public static bool ContainsNullParameters(Dictionary methodParams, out ArgumentNullException containsNullParameters)
{
var nullParams = from o in methodParams
where o.Value == null
select o;
bool paramsNull = nullParams.Count() > 0;
if (paramsNull)
{
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
foreach (var param in nullParams)
sb.Append(param.Key + " is null. ");
containsNullParameters = new ArgumentNullException(sb.ToString());
}
else
containsNullParameters = null;
return paramsNull;
}
of course you could use an interceptor or reflection but these are easy to follow/use with little overhead
