Today at .NET Conf 2019, we shared some exciting announcements for Xamarin and Visual Studio developers, including:

• XAML Hot Reload for Xamarin.Forms: Make changes to your XAML UI. See them reflected live on your emulator, simulator, or physical device.
• Xamarin Hot Restart: Test changes made to your app, including multi-file code edits, resources, and references, while using a much faster build and deploy cycle.
• iOS 13 and Android 10: Take advantage of the full power and performance of native platforms and APIs. Including iPadOS, dark mode, and foldable support. 

This post shows how to import and export .xls or .xlsx (Excel files) in ASP.NET Core. And when thinking about dealing with excel with .NET, we always look for third-party libraries or component. And one of the most popular .net library that reads and writes Excel 2007/2010 files using the Open Office Xml format (xlsx) is EPPlus. However, at the time of writing this post, this library is not updated to support .NET Core. But there exists an unofficial version of this library EPPlus.Core which can do the job of import and export xlsx in ASP.NET Core. This works on Windows, Linux and Mac. 

There are two supported choices of runtime for building server-side applications with .NET: .NET Framework and .NET Core. Both share a lot of the same .NET platform components and you can share code across the two. However, there are fundamental differences between the two and your choice will depend on what you want to accomplish. This article provides guidance on when to use each. 

IKVM is an implementation of Java for the Microsoft .NET platform. It can be used to quickly and easily:

• Execute compiled Java code (bytecode) on .NET Framework or .NET Core
• Convert bytecode to a .NET assembly to directly access its API in a .NET project 

ASP.NET 5 beta7 is now available both on NuGet and as a tooling update to Visual Studio 2015! This release also includes the first public preview of the .NET Execution Environment (DNX) for Mac and Linux based on .NET Core – no Mono required.

C# 7.1 is a small release with just a few (but well-chosen) new language features; useful we think, but definitely in the minor range. It’s supported by Visual Studio 2017, starting with Update 15.3. 

In this article I will explain some general purpose queries. I think each developer should have knowledge of these queries. These queries are not related to any specific topic of SQL. But knowledge of such queries can solve some complex tasks and may be used in many scenarios, so I decided to write an article on these queries. 

With the release of Uno Platform 3.0, developers can now create multi-platform applications for desktop, mobile and web apps using Rider.
