Covalent is a reusable UI platform from Teradata for building web applications with common standards and tooling. It is based on Angular and Material Design.

Vision: To build an atomic, reusable component platform for Teradata to consume, while collaborating in an open source model. 

What's new in C#? - Exciting new features in C# 9, 10 and 11! - Filip Ekberg - NDC Oslo 2023

We will cover the following features:
- Nullable reference types
- Pattern Matching in C# 8 = C# 11
- Record types
- Top level programs/statements
- Init only & new()
 

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. 

• Entity Framework 7 RC1 (which we used here), is slow, but later builds are faster. It’s still not going to top any chart, but it’s currently faster than EF6, according to tests with a local build. We’ll update the benchmark with results from RC2 when it’s released.  

A .NET guideline specifies that an application should never throw a NullReferenceException. However, many applications and libraries do. The NullReferenceException is the most common exception happening. That’s why C# 8 tries to get rid of it. With C# 8, reference types are not null be default. This is a big change, and a great feature. However, what about all the legacy code? Can old libraries be used with C# 8 applications, and can C# 7 applications make use of C# 8 libraries?

This article demonstrates how C# 8 allows mixing old and new assemblies. 

In an attempt to correct many perceived deficiencies in Entity Framework Core, Microsoft is introducing 40 breaking changes to EF Core 3. You can see the entire breaking changes list on Microsoft Docs, but here are some of the highlights.
