This article introduces you to the in-browser document database known as IndexedDB. With IndexedDB you can create, read, update, and delete large sets of records in much the same way you are accustomed to doing with server-side databases. To experiment with a working version of the code presented in this article, please go to , and the full source code is available via the GitHub repository found at .

This is a (non-comprehensive) guide for C# and .NET developers that are completely new to the Rust programming language. Some concepts and constructs translate fairly well between C#/.NET and Rust, but which may be expressed differently, whereas others are a radical departure, like memory management. This guide provides a brief comparison and mapping of those constructs and concepts with concise examples. 

This bug-fix update resolves the following issues:

ReSharper Build couldn’t build a project if MSBuild was installed as part of Visual Studio 2019 Preview 1 (RSRP-472694).
Visual Studio froze on JavaScript debugging (RSRP-472802).
Inconsistent default state around ‘Inconsistent Naming‘ inspection (RSRP-472812).
A false positive for NUnit TestCase (RSRP-472787).
Unit test coverage highlighting is not shown for projects targeting .NET Framework 3.5 and lower (DCVR-9525).
False “Cannot convert type” error for Promise in TypeScript.
Find Usages did not process bodies of #define macros when looking for textual occurrences (RSCPP-24977).
“Remove unused parameter” quick-fix was broken in C++ (RSCPP-25094).
 

DARPA Wants All C Converted To Rust

After more than two decades of grappling with memory safety issues in C and C++, the software engineering community has reached a consensus. It’s not enough to rely on bug-finding tools. The preferred approach is to use “safe” programming languages that can reject unsafe programs at compile time, thereby preventing the emergence of memory safety issues.

These are the customer-reported issues addressed in 15.7.2:

• The SSDT 15.6.0 Installer configuration registry key could not be opened..
• Editor performance Issues when editing JavaScript.
• The Code Coverage functionality in Visual Studio 2017 ignores async methods.
• Missing atls.lib in arm/arm64 after update.
• Test Explorer no longer greys out the previously run unit tests.
• Version 15.7.1 debugs .aspx App in a new Chrome instance even if JavaScript debugging is disabled.
• 15.7 compiler fails with Folly.
• ASP project keeps running after closing the web page.
• Chrome Debugger not working and shows an error message, however, the debugger buttons stay active. .
• Rename Python from Rename on the Refactor menu no longer works.
• Visual Studio Installer doesn't work correctly in low disk space conditions.
• Debugger links to browser when previously not set.
• Problems with template argument deduction for class templates.
• C++ constexpr string_view == fails to compile.
• A regression in Type Providers which use native resources (e.g., FSharp.Data.TypeProviders) has been fixed.
• You can now add files to F# ASP.NET Core projects from the UI.
• Listening to Microsoft-Extensions-Logging causes VS diagnostic events window to disconnect with an error message has been fixed in Service Fabric Tools. 

Today we are publishing the latest stable release of Xamarin.Forms, version 5.0. This major release delivers hundreds of quality improvements and brings to stable release new features including App Themes, Brushes, CarouselView, RadioButton, Shapes and Paths, and SwipeView. 

These are the customer-reported issues addressed in 15.9.5:

• VSX1000: No enough information has been provided to MSBuild in order to establish a connection to a Remote Server.
• Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable for ARM64 is not available via visualstudio.com.
• VC Runtime Redistributable Update for VS 15.9 deletes Registry Key. This fix may have an increased chance of requiring a reboot of the machine in order to install an updated VC++ Redistributable package.
• Incorrect codegen in managed c++ with List to List assignment.
• Can't connect to mac build host after Visual Studio 15.9.4 update.
• Resource directories missed in incremental builds with AndroidAarLibrary items.
• Lots of external assembly references - JNI ERROR (app bug): local reference table overflow (max=512).
• The Unity Editor has been updated to 2018.3. For more information, please visit the Unity website.
• SSDT: We enabled SQL projects to build schemas that have non-clustered columnstore indexes on an indexed views.
• SSDT: We fixed a significant performance issue in the schema compare tool when generating a script.
• SSDT: We fixed the schema drift detection logic in the schema compare tool which forced a new comparison to reenable scripting and publishing actions.

Security Advisory Notices

• A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Visual Studio when the C++ compiler improperly handles specific combinations of C++ constructs.
