Meaning of curly braces after the “is” operator

by

This is a new pattern matching feature which was introduced in C# 8.0 and is called property pattern. In this particular case it is used to check that object is not null, example from the linked article:

static string Display(object o) => o switch
{
    Point { X: 0, Y: 0 }         p => "origin",
    Point { X: var x, Y: var y } p => $"({x}, {y})",
    {}                           => o.ToString(),
    null                         => "null"
};
