C# and .NET Errors

C# and .NET errors usually surface at runtime even when the project compiles cleanly. Enabling nullable reference types (Nullable=enable in your .csproj) catches half of them at compile time — start there if you are not already on board.

Recommended starting points:

• C# NullReferenceException — the most common .NET runtime error.
• ASP.NET 500 Internal Server Error — production crashes with no detail.
• C# Task was canceled — async cancellation edge cases.
