Is it possible to use XML data / files as a source for SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) reports? Are there any limitations to using an XML source?

PostSharp 6.0 is the biggest refactoring since the 2.0 version released in July 2010. For a good cause: PostSharp 6.0 now runs natively in .NET Core 2.0. Previous versions of PostSharp executed only under .NET Framework at build time and the support for .NET Core was achieved by using a load of hacks that ended up being unmaintainable, warranting this big refactoring.

Let’s have a look at the new features of PostSharp 6.0 :

• Support for .NET Core 2.0-2.1 and .NET Standard 2.0.
• Support for Portable PDB.
• Support for C# 7.2.
• Ending the PostSharp versioning hell side-by-side: backward compatibility within the same major version.
• Logging: robustness to faults in the logging subsystem.
• Logging: no need to initialize before the first logged method is hit.
• Caching: preventing concurrent execution (locking).
• Visual Studio tooling: support for the new CPS-based project systems.
• GDPR compliance: we no longer collect your name and email for trial, nor use unsecure HTTP, nor use non-resettable user id hashes. 

A few highlights for this release include:

• Support for 64-bit identity seed values
• Support for new BCL DateOnly and TimeOnly structs for SQLite
• Uniquify and validate check constraint names
• Pre-convention model configuration
