Use single-line comments (//) for short comments within code.

Language Features

Use var keyword for local variables when the type is obvious.
Use explicit types for method parameters and return types.
Use async/await for asynchronous programming.

Error Handling

Use try-catch blocks for handling exceptions.
Use specific exception types when possible.
Use finally blocks for cleanup code.

Code Organization

Use regions to group related code sections.
Use partial classes for splitting large classes into multiple files.
