C# 11 required property support

See original GitHub issue

Now that C# 11 has required properties, are there plans for SimpleInjector to support auto-injecting those?

SimpleInjector has always been about writing clean code. I always feel like a journey back in time, when I have to use the “new” Microsoft Dependency Injection.

There are sometimes reasons to use property injection. I used basically the same code I posted before with my own DependencyAttribute (the required keyword did not exist at that time) in project with a lot of legacy code heavily using inheritance.

Perhaps a compromise would be to have a fitting PropertySelectionBehavior included and a nice extension method or boolean property in the options to activate it?

composition over inheritance

Generally speaking yes of course, but not always possible or desirable when working with view models in MVVM desktop scenarios.
