Hi .NET Folks

If you use SonarCloud you may have noticed new issues on the following 2 rules:

1. [Conditionally executed code should be reachable](https://rules.sonarsource.com/csharp/RSPEC-2583/)
2. [Boolean expressions should not be gratuitous](https://rules.sonarsource.com/csharp/RSPEC-2589/)

As with many of our other rule improvements these now detect more issues, more accurately, particularly when the newest C# versions are used.

Whats more these rules are now also available on `VB.NET`.

These changes are on SonarCloud now and will be available in the upcoming SonarQube 10.2 and the next releases of SonarLint for Visual Studio and Rider.

Happy Coding!

Tom
