C# Value Objects to Solve Primitive Obsession

Value objects bundle related data together to represent real-world concepts. This makes your code more readable and easier to understand. By defining validation logic within value objects, you can prevent nonsensical data from entering your system in the first place. This helps to write more robust applications. Primitive obsession happens when you rely on basic data types like strings or numbers to represent complex ideas. Value objects act as a wrapper, giving them more structure and meaning. Primitive obsession is a code smell in C# that arises when developers rely too heavily on primitive data types to represent concepts in their program's domain. If you want to build better value objects In this tutorial, we'll learn what is primitive obsession, how to eliminate it, and how to create signature honest and DRY following Value Objects for your DDD(Domain driven design) projects in C#.
