Example of Enhanced Documentation

Before:

// Basic example without error handling
ItemResponse item = await container.CreateItemAsync<ToDoActivity>(test, new PartitionKey(test.status));

After:

// Comprehensive example with best practices
try
{
    ToDoActivity newTask = new ToDoActivity()
    {
        id = Guid.NewGuid().ToString(),
        status = "InProgress"
    };

    ItemResponse<ToDoActivity> response = await container.CreateItemAsync<ToDoActivity>(
        newTask, 
        new PartitionKey(newTask.status));
    
    Console.WriteLine($"Created item with id: {response.Resource.id}");
}
catch (CosmosException ex) when (ex.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.Conflict)
{
    // Item with this id already exists
    Console.WriteLine("Item already exists");
}

Quality Assurance

  • ✅ All changes build successfully without errors or warnings
  • ✅ StyleCop compliance maintained throughout
  • ✅ No breaking changes to public API
  • ✅ Comprehensive testing of documentation examples
