referencesource VS NancyFx

But to go deeper to .NET/CLR architecture is important too. Try to understand how it works inside. Use the source, Luke! https://source.dot.net/ https://referencesource.microsoft.com/ This source code vaults is not completed then try JetBrains dotPeek tool to look at any assembly source code.

(https://github.com/Microsoft/referencesource/blob/master/System.ServiceModel/System/ServiceModel/MessageSecurityVersion.cs; scroll down to inner classes)

List is an IList/IReadOnlyList; these interfaces do nothing that couldn't be done right inside the file itself.

Instead we have to go diving through the IList, which implements ICollection, which implements IEnumerable, which implements IEnumerable (again). Just because each interface is composed of another interface, doesn't mean you aren't using inheritance. You are effectively creating a custom inheritance tree through willy-nilly composition.

It is gratuitous to make this chain so deep, when the underlying code is just a handful of lines.

The doc-strings are unnecessary. It's self-evident what most of the code does if you read it.

        // Returns an enumerator for this list with the given

The whole .net framework source code is online.

https://github.com/microsoft/referencesource/blob/master/System.Numerics/System/Numerics/Vector2.cs https://github.com/microsoft/referencesource/blob/master/System.Numerics/System/Numerics/Vector2_Intrinsics.cs

.net itself has arbitrary interfaces, ex https://github.com/microsoft/referencesource/blob/master/mscorlib/system/action.cs

Assuming if you are new to C# - start coding! And start reading https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/tour-of-csha...

If you are not new to C#, start building an application end-to-end/a classic n-tier application, right from using a database, Entity Framework, WebAPI, DTO, AutoMapper, and a front-end (your choice - Angular/React/Vue with TypeScript or better yet - Blazor).

You will not only understand & use dependency injection, reflection, LINQ, multi-threaded programming, generic programming, source-code generation, unit-testing - and much much more in a practical/real-world usage.

Peruse https://referencesource.microsoft.com/ once in a while.

Follow various team members of .NET Framework, C# team and the like on various social-media. https://mobile.twitter.com/i/lists/120961876

I am sure there will be who agree / disagree with the above approach and will provide more viewpoints for you to consider.

Enjoy - and strap yourself for an amazing journey or roller-coaster ride, however you want to call it!

Maybe from the source of FtpWebRequest it is possible to track what the default behaviour is.

The class is just a very limited dictionary, a library will be the same or better.

Nancyfx - sadly dead in the water now but well worth a read of both the code and docs https://github.com/NancyFx/Nancy/tree/master/

2-3 years ago Nancy added a large banner at the top of https://github.com/NancyFx/Nancy -

Being open source doesn't change the support model. It allows willing contributors to step up and fork in the event of total abandonment. As a comparison, nobody forked NancyFx to extend support or keep it alive.

It sounds like you are talking about asp.net? If you don't want to bother with controllers and attributes and all that you can just use the Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http and Microsoft.AspNetCore.Routing namespaces. As someone that really liked Nancy I felt that this was close enough.
