The C# questions were only shown to the developers who chose C# as one of their three primary programming languages.

C#

What versions of C# do you regularly use?

“In my experience, developers target newer versions of C# but don’t use all of the language features immediately. ReSharper and Rider’s language usage opportunity inspections and quick fixes are a great way to learn about the latest additions to C#.”

Which programming languages are you using in your .NET project?

“It seems that nowadays .NET developers mostly do C# combined with a web language (43% overall).”

What runtimes do you regularly use?

“There really only seem to be 2 types of .NET nowadays: the “old”, and the “new”. I hope .NET 6 will start bringing these two ecosystems together again.”

Which technologies / frameworks do you use?

Options with small shares were added to this question this year.

Which IDE / editor do you mostly use for C# development?

What plugins do you use with Visual Studio?

“It is great to see that productivity tools like ReSharper / CodeMaid / CodeRush / Roslynator are used a lot by the community.”

What plugins do you use with Visual Studio Code?

What operating system is your C# development environment using?

Which unit-testing frameworks do you regularly use, if any?

What performance or diagnostic tools do you regularly use?
