What is the proper way to suggest features to be added to the C# language?

For example, I would like to have an operator similar to ?? but for selecting the min or max values.

I'd like a <? b to expand to a < b ? a : b likewise for >?

Contact the team responsible for the language at Microsoft. – Bernard Jan 27 '12 at 20:52

Is there something wrong with using the Min or Max functions? – Zach L Jan 27 '12 at 20:53

Good luck getting this feature added... – ChaosPandion Jan 27 '12 at 20:54

While I didn't intend this question to be about the relevance of this specific feature request. I like it because it could support any class that overloads < instead of the limited selection of overloads for the Math.Min and Math.Max functions. Also it is cleaner for 3 or more. Math.Min(a, Math.Min(b, c)) vs a <? b <? c. – Josh Jan 27 '12 at 21:05

By the way F# can easily supports this feature: let inline (<?) (a:^t) (b:^t) = if a < b then a else b – ChaosPandion Jan 27 '12 at 21:19

Microsoft Connect is the central Hub regarding all suggestions about Microsoft products.

Concerning C#, you will have to go through the "Visual Studio and .Net Framework" product and you will end up on the Visual Studio User Voice website where ideas can be submitted.
