An extremely simple and responsive jQuery plugin that allows you to create multi-level drop down menu with subtle effects (sliding, fading, scale up, or scale down).  Each sub-menu in this menu will be shown in its own context, making the “parent” level disappear, good for saving space for menus which have a lot of content

WHAT IS BLAZOR?

Blazor is a single-page app framework for building interactive client-side Web apps with .NET. Blazor uses open web standards without plugins or code transpilation. Blazor works in all modern web browsers, including mobile browsers. 

The Blazor component model to be included in ASP.NET Core and shipped with .NET Core 3.0 was given the new name "Razor Components" to differentiate it from the ability to run .NET in the browser, Roth said.  

Sometimes, we want users to log in to our application using their existing credentials from third-party applications, such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, etc. In this article, we are going to look into the authentication of ASP.NET Core app using a Google account. 

 This type of CollectionView does not support changes to its SourceCollection
from a thread different from the Dispatcher thread

 System.InvalidOperationException: This exception was thrown because the generator for control
'System.Windows.Controls.ListView Items.Count:62' with name '(unnamed)' has received sequence of
CollectionChanged events that do not agree with the current state of the Items collection.
The following differences were detected:  Accumulated count 61 is different from actual count 62.

In this beginner level course, you will learn the foundational elements of a microservices architecture by incrementally building a real microservices based application with the .NET platform, step by step. 

In the actual post we present a list of 10 Javascript  libraries that could be used to create a diagramming tool. Some of these libraries have high level support for advanced features (e.g., ready to use shapes, palette, drag/drop,…)
