In order to cleanse the data as we parse it, we thought using a try/catch would be ok. If we don’t catch the exceptions, we’re good, right?
Turns out it kills our performance when we throw a lot of exceptions, even if we don’t catch them. Each exception has some costs . We needed to find a way to handle this data without involving exceptions.
TryParse turns out to be a method designed to solve our problem. We ran some benchmarks to prove it.
The .NET Core and the Core Libraries are open source and run on Windows, Mac, and Linux. In fact, you can run them with support, today, in production on Windows and Linux (Mac is for development, not production).
In .NET 8 we plan to add a new project template, Blazor
Web Application, that covers all combinations of server-hosted projects
(traditional Blazor Server apps, Blazor WebAssembly hosted, and the new
unified architecture that allows use of Server, WebAssembly, and SSR in a
single project). It will work by multitargeting over net8.0 and net8.0-browser.
In a Visual Studio Live! conference keynote Tuesday a couple of Microsoft program managers were on hand to discuss what's going on with .NET today and tomorrow, clearly signaling that .NET Core is the future of the ecosystem and that programmers should use it for all new development projects.
We are excited to announce the open-sourcing of Microsoft GW-BASIC on GitHub!
Yes, seriously 😀

We’re delighted to announce the availability of RTVS 0.5. Key updates in this release include:
The fourth preview of .NET 7 includes enhancements to observability in
the .NET implementation of OpenTelemetry, the addition of properties to
track microseconds and nanoseconds in date and time structures, new
metrics for caching extensions, performance-boosting “on stack
replacement,” APIs to work with .tar
archives, and additional features as part of an ongoing effort to
improve the performance of and add features to regular expressions in
.NET 7.
In this post, we’ll look at how we can use one of the most popular libraries, React, to build a foldable web experience.
The main theme for this ASP.NET Core release was to improve developer productivity and platform functionality with regard to building Web/HTTP APIs. As usual, we made some performance improvements as well.
