 How to install Visual Studio Code and configure it as a replacement for the PowerShell ISE

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to setup and install ASP.NET Core 2.1 on Linux. I did it for the first time in 15 minutes with no previous experience with .NET Core on Linux. I did it the second time, in production, in 5 minutes by following these instructions.

In this article, I show you how to install the .NET Core runtime on CentOS, how to get a sample ASP.NET Core project running on Kestrel as a service for reliability, and how to configure both the code and the firewall to enable remote access. Finally, I discuss what I would do differently for actual production usage. 

This library helps write code in more functional way. To get to know more about the principles behind it, check out the Applying Functional Principles in C# Pluralsight course.

In this article, we are going to see how we can create a custom ModelValidatorProvider that validates models based upon the rules specified in the xml files and works side-by-side with the other built-in validator providers. 

public override Task OnDisconnected(bool stopCalled)
{
    if (stopCalled)
    {
        // We know that Stop() was called on the client,
        // and the connection shut down gracefully.
    }
    else
    {
        // This server hasn't heard from the client in the last ~35 seconds.
        // If SignalR is behind a load balancer with scaleout configured, 
        // the client may still be connected to another SignalR server.
    }

    return base.OnDisconnected(stopCalled);
}
