Structure your .NET application using Clean Architecture by separating it into Domain, Application, Infrastructure, and API layers. This guidance enforces layer isolation, clarifies boundaries, and reduces coupling to keep business logic independent from infrastructure concerns.

Implement CQRS and domain events in .NET by defining deterministic commands and queries within the Application layer. This enforces business rules through validators and domain events, ensuring clear separation between read and write operations for typical software projects.

Organize files and naming conventions for a .NET Clean Architecture project by following documented templates aligning domains, use cases, and infrastructure. This provides typical folder structures and clear naming rules to maintain consistency during new feature development or refactors.

Clean Architecture supports Domain-Driven Design patterns in .NET by applying specifications and the unit of work pattern within the domain and persistence layers. This isolates domain logic and manages transactional consistency across typical software project boundaries.

Layered .NET architecture has high coupling when boundaries and responsibilities are unclear. Applying Clean Architecture guidance enforces strict layer isolation between the domain, application, and infrastructure, reducing dependencies and ensuring infrastructure details do not leak into business logic.

You can use Clean Architecture to refactor an existing .NET application by realigning domains, use cases, and infrastructure into the four layers. The guidance provides code organization templates and naming conventions to clarify boundaries and reduce coupling during the transition.
