In this series I answer various .NET questions. Some of them are asked during interviews, some of them I see on the internet, some of them are completely made up. The goal is to provide short answer with links to references if needed. This is by no means a .NET tutorial or experts reference, this is just a bunch of useful answers to refresh your knowledge.
Build Better Apps with .NET Aspire - Complete Beginner's Guide & Tutorial
Let's start building better apps with .NET Aspire! Find out how adding .NET Aspire to your existing apps can help them be more observable, resilient, scalable, and manageable. All in just a few lines of code enable these features and at the same time boost developer productivity with features to help you build apps faster including orchestration and service discovery. It also gives you deep insight into your application with OpenTelemetry and a developer dashboard on your local development machine or in the cloud. We will also take a look at how to deploy your projects that use .NET Aspire and how it works under the hood. Finally, we will look at how to use some of these great features in non-.NET projects such as JavaScript and Python!
Not many are familiar with this awesome feature of dotnet core. Aspnet team is actively maintaining a project named JavascriptServices ; Along with other packages, it includes the NodeServices package. Using this package, one can easily create an instance of node and execute JavaScript code (function) in the backend. If you think of it right now, you can see that it actually opens up a wide variety of development opportunities. By opportunities, I mean; the ASP.NET core project is trying hard to make its package eco-system (NuGet) rich but while doing it, why not get advantages of other package eco-system as well, right? When I talk about other than nuget package manager, the first name that comes to my mind is Npm (node package manager). Npm is the largest package manager out there on this very day and its growing rapidly. By using NodeServices package, we can now use (not all of the npm packages but) most of the npm packages in our backend development. So, let me show you how to configure NodeServices in your aspnet core project and use it to execute JavaScript code on the backend.
If you stumble into this with no idea who I am or why I’m arrogant enough to think I’m qualified to potentially criticize the ASP.Net Core internals, I’m the primary author of both StructureMap (the IoC container) and an alternative “previous generation” OSS web development framework called FubuMVC that tackled a lot of the same problems that ASP.Net Core addresses now that were not part of older ASP.Net MVC or Web API.
This article dives into the mock questions I would ask, along with responses that are my personal best guess to the answers. Could my answers not reflect actual opinions shared by the team at Microsoft? Sure, but I'm hoping folks from the .NET team can jump in to correct me if I am way off base.
This is a rather interesting time for .NET – what's being done shapes the future of .NET for the next decade. Let's ask the honest questions and hopefully all of us will understand the new .NET ecosystem a little better.
In this post, I will describe how to port a desktop application from .NET Framework to .NET Core. I picked a WinForms application as an example. Steps for WPF application are similar and I’ll describe what needs to be done different for WPF as we go. I will also show how you can keep using the WinForms designer in Visual Studio even though it is under development and is not yet available for .NET Core projects.
Project showcasing my CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) implementation on Angular's Mat-Table. Most importantly frontend updates accordingly with operations. This is important if you're using data from backend (some DB like MySQL) but I guess It can be used for local generated data as well.
REST has brought us into a better position since the days of sharing XML contracts through SOAP. It is a good standard and brought us a long way, but what it makes easy to understand and consume can also be a problem.
The React ecosystem is so large that it's helpful to be presented with some sound, standard options when selecting libraries for a new project. This is the latest annual update of an established list Robin maintains.
