We are excited to release .NET 6 Release Candidate 2. It is the second of two “go live” release candidate releases that are supported in production. For the last couple months, the team has been focused exclusively on quality improvements. There are a lot of new features in the release, which only fully come together near the end. The team is currently validating end-to-end workflows to find the places where design intentions and technical reality don’t yet fully match. That’s led to teams tightening leaky pipes and paving paths all the way to their destination. 

    public class ProductService
    {
        public IEnumerable<Product> GetOrderedProducts()
        {
            using (var ctx = new Entites())
            {
                return ctx.Products.OrderBy(x => x.Name).ToList();
            }
        }
    }

By default RavenDB allow anonymous access only for read requests (HTTP GET), 
and since we creating data, we need to specify a username and password. 
You can control this by changing the AnonymousAccess setting in the server configuration file.
Enter your username and password of your Windows account and a sample data will be generated for you.
