Use ManagedCode.Communication when a .NET application needs explicit result objects, structured errors, and predictable service or API boundaries instead of exception-driven control flow.

ManagedCode.Communication

Trigger On

  • integrating
    ManagedCode.Communication
    into services or APIs
  • replacing exception-driven result handling with explicit results
  • reviewing service boundaries that return success or failure payloads
  • documenting result-pattern usage across ASP.NET Core or application services

Workflow

  1. Confirm the boundary where the library belongs:
    • service result contracts
    • application manager boundaries
    • API endpoints that translate results into HTTP responses
  2. Keep result creation and error mapping explicit instead of mixing exceptions, nulls, and ad-hoc tuples.
  3. Pattern-match result objects at the boundary that converts them into user-facing responses.
  4. Do not hide domain failures behind generic success wrappers.
  5. Validate positive, negative, and error-path handling after integration.

Deliver

  • guidance on where explicit result objects improve clarity
  • usage boundaries for translating results into API or caller responses
  • validation expectations for success and failure flows

Validate

  • result handling is consistent across the boundary that uses the library
  • callers do not fall back to exception-only logic for normal failure cases
  • negative and error scenarios are documented and tested
