If you missed it, last week Layla Porter launched a new video really clearly explaining the options pattern in .NET.

This covers:

  • A breakdown of the Options Pattern as introduced into the .NET Framework.
  • A demonstration of the benefits of using IOptions containers to inject configuration values into dynamic applications as opposed to using hard-coded values from configuration files or from the command line.
  • Mechanisms for enforcing compile-time validation of configuration values.
