- C# 14 introduces null-conditional assignment operators, allowing assignments to be skipped if the left-hand side is null.
- The new operator works with object properties, indexers, and compound assignments like += and -=.
- Right-hand side expressions in null-conditional assignments are not executed if the left-hand side is null.
- Increment (++) and decrement (--) operators are not supported with null-conditional assignments.
- Overusing null-conditional assignments can make debugging harder due to unclear failure reasons.
- The feature requires .NET 10 preview SDK and enabling preview language features in the project file.
