Walkthrough

Refactoring of the TryGetValue method in PropertiesDictionary.cs to simplify control flow. The change replaces an IsEmpty guard with a null check on _eventProperties, consolidating lookup logic into two distinct paths: one delegating to TryLookupMessagePropertyValue when null, and another performing direct dictionary lookup when available.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Change Summary
PropertiesDictionary Refactoring
src/NLog/Internal/PropertiesDictionary.cs
Simplified TryGetValue method logic by replacing IsEmpty guard with null check on _eventProperties; consolidated redundant condition checks into two clear lookup paths.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 2 (Simple) | ⏱️ ~12 minutes

  • Verify that the null check on _eventProperties is semantically equivalent to the prior IsEmpty check
  • Confirm TryLookupMessagePropertyValue delegation behaves correctly when _eventProperties is null
  • Ensure no edge cases or state transitions are missed by the consolidated logic

Poem

🐰 A rabbit hops through tangled code,
Finds redundant guards upon the road.
One null check clears the foggy way,
Two paths of logic, clean and gay! ✨

315-330: TryGetValue refactor looks correct and aligns with dictionary invariants

The new branching on _eventProperties being null cleanly separates the “message-properties-only” path from the dictionary-backed path and keeps semantics consistent with how GetEventProperties, Remove, and the enumerator treat the dictionary as canonical once it exists. I don’t see any functional regressions; this should also avoid redundant checks and prevent ever falling back to message-property scanning after a key has been removed from the dictionary.

If you want a tiny micro-optimization, you could cache _eventProperties into a local (var eventProperties = _eventProperties;) and use that for the null-check and TryGetValue to avoid a double field read, but that’s purely optional.
