• does anyone have a working csharp-language-server setup they can share?

  There's also this project https://github.com/JosefPihrt/Roslynator that can add even more analyzers.

• What do you think about formatting contents in parenthesis like contents in braces?

  It does. Nearly every style guide I've seen for any language that allows this prefers this style. I personally prefer it when such structures are needed, but would suggest following it just for consistency and the practical benefits.

• How to write clear and robust unit tests: the dos and don'ts

  The reason I say 'similar' above is that though you may treat it as production code, there are some things in the nature of writing tests that may require different coding standard to be enforced. A good example of this is the RCS1046 analyzer, enforcing names of asynchronous methods to be suffixed with 'Async'; in this case it would be acceptable to override this rule (with an .editorconfig for example) so that you're method name continues to describe the behaviour of the application, and we don't have tests named like public async Task My_descriptive_method_name_async().

• Linting async method declarations

  You can write Roslyn analyzer but you can also simply use this set of analyzers: https://github.com/JosefPihrt/Roslynator. It has analyzers for both async method not ending with Async and non-async methods ending with Async.

• Is my code hard to read?

  My suggestion is to look into installing Roslynator or Sonarlint. Both are free and work with either Visual Studio or VS Code. With them you can right click on your solution and Run Analysis and it will give you a list of "code smells" and automatic fixes for many of them. They are great tools for any dev.

• Visual Studio vs. Jetbrains Rider Performance
  1 project | /r/dotnet | 28 Jun 2022

  Roslynator while not exactly as good as full R# does a pretty good job for the analysis and refactoring hints imo. Paired with Intellicode + NCrunch (paid) so far has been a good enough experience for us.

• Which code convention would you choose between these two as best practice?
  1 project | /r/csharp | 27 Jun 2022

  I prefer the second and roslynator would give RCS1124: Inline local variable1 for the first one.
