Advanced Value Object Patterns in .NET

While basic value objects solve primitive obsession, complex domain requirements need sophisticated modeling techniques. This article explores advanced patterns using Thinktecture.Runtime.Extensions to tackle real-world scenarios: open-ended dates for employment contracts, composite file identifiers across storage systems, recurring anniversaries without year components, and geographical jurisdictions using discriminated unions.

Value Objects in .NET: Enhancing Business Semantics

Value objects are fundamental building blocks in Domain-Driven Design, serving far more than simple data wrappers. This article explores their strategic importance in bridging technical code and business concepts, enforcing domain rules, and fostering clearer communication with domain experts. Learn how to build robust aggregates, cultivate ubiquitous language, and encapsulate domain-specific behavior using Thinktecture.Runtime.Extensions in .NET applications.

Value Objects in .NET: Integration with Frameworks and Libraries

Value Objects in .NET provide a structured way to improve consistency and maintainability in domain modeling. This article examines their integration with popular frameworks and libraries, highlighting best practices for seamless implementation. From working with Entity Framework to leveraging their advantages in ASP.NET, we explore how Value Objects can be effectively incorporated into various architectures. By understanding their role in framework integration, developers can optimize data handling and enhance code clarity without unnecessary complexity.

Handling Complexity: Introducing Complex Value Objects in .NET

While simple value objects wrap single primitives, many domain concepts involve multiple related properties (e.g., a date range’s start and end). This article introduces Complex Value Objects in .NET, which group these properties into a cohesive unit. This ensures internal consistency, centralizes validation, and encapsulates behavior. Discover how to implement these for clearer, safer code using the library Thinktecture.Runtime.Extensions, which minimizes boilerplate when handling such related data.

Value Objects: Solving Primitive Obsession in .NET

Overusing primitive types like string or int for domain concepts (“primitive obsession”) causes bugs from missed validation, like invalid emails or negative monetary values. This article explores Value Objects as a .NET solution. Learn how these self-validating, immutable types prevent entire classes of errors, make code more expressive, and reduce developer overhead. We’ll demonstrate creating robust domain models with minimal boilerplate, improving code quality without necessarily adopting full Domain-Driven Design, and see how Roslyn Source Generators make this practical.
