ASP.NET Community Standup - Visual Studio 2022 Razor Editor - YouTube 

A MSBuild-integrated library/tool to expose entrypoints in .NET assemblies to the platform invocation system or short PInvoke. It allows you to build .NET libraries that can be called from any development platform that supports PInvoke, including C++, C, Rust, Delphi, Python and so on... 

Since we shipped .NET Standard 2.0 about a year ago, we’ve shipped two updates to .NET Core 2.1 and are about to release .NET Core 2.2. It’s time to update the standard to include some of the new concepts as well as a number of small improvements

We're pleased to announce that version 2.0 of the GitHub Extension for Visual Studio is now available. You can install it directly from the Tools and Extensions gallery in Visual Studio, as well as from our releases page and our website. 

When we started the Google Code project hosting service in 2006, the world of project hosting was limited. We were worried about reliability and stagnation, so we took action by giving the open source community another option to choose from. Since then, we’ve seen a wide variety of better project hosting services such as GitHub and Bitbucket bloom. Many projects moved away from Google Code to those other systems. To meet developers where they are, we ourselves migrated nearly a thousand of our own open source projects from Google Code to GitHub. 

The referencesource repository contains sources from Microsoft .NET Reference Source that represent a subset of the .NET Framework. This subset contains similar functionality to the class libraries that are being developed in .NET Core. We intend to consult the referencesource repository as we develop .NET Core. It is also for the community to leverage to enable more scenarios for .NET developers. 

For decades, passwords have been the common backbone (headache) of authentication and are well known to lack in security while being frustrating and difficult to use. As we continue to see daily data breaches, the reality of moving away from weak static credentials and killing the password is upon us. Join this session to learn how FIDO2 and WebAuthn open authentication standards, in conjunction with YubiKeys, are solving the elimination of passwords at scale. Hear how organizations like Microsoft have implemented these standards for a true passwordless experience and find out how your organization can follow suit. You'll gain a greater understanding of how to achieve a modern and flexible security architecture through the use of FIDO open standards and hardware authenticators.

Git Security Vulnerability

We also fixed a security vulnerability in Git that was disclosed by the Git community. The vulnerability can lead to arbitrary code execution when a user clones a malicious repository. This blog post has more information.
