Ask a Language Designer

Have you ever wondered why the C# language doesn't have a specific feature, or why it works the way it does? Send your questions to CSharp Ask a Designer and an answer from one of the language designers will appear here.

What kind of questions are appropriate? A couple of good examples are "Why doesn't C# have exception specifiers?" and "Why doesn't C# have a 'with' statement?" If you have other questions, please post them in the C# Language Forum.
