The answer to this question has been edited to say that in C# 6.0, INotifyPropertyChanged can be implemented with the following OnPropertyChanged procedure:
protected void OnPropertyChanged([CallerMemberName] string propertyName = null)
{
PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
}
However, it isn't clear from that answer what the corresponding property definition should be. What does a complete implementation of INotifyPropertyChanged look like in C# 6.0 when this construction is used?
After incorporating the various changes, the code will look like this. I've highlighted with comments the parts that changed and how each one helps
public class Data : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
protected void OnPropertyChanged([CallerMemberName] string propertyName = null)
{
//C# 6 null-safe operator. No need to check for event listeners
//If there are no listeners, this will be a noop
PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
}
// C# 5 - CallMemberName means we don't need to pass the property's name
protected bool SetField<T>(ref T field, T value,
[CallerMemberName] string propertyName = null)
{
if (EqualityComparer<T>.Default.Equals(field, value))
return false;
field = value;
OnPropertyChanged(propertyName);
return true;
}
private string name;
public string Name
{
get { return name; }
//C# 5 no need to pass the property name anymore
set { SetField(ref name, value); }
}
}
