show how easy it is to add real-time functionality to your web applications using ASP.NET Core SignalR. They discuss topics such as targeting with clients, SignalR transports, and options for running your SignalR application in the cloud.

Now, you can even leverage the Hub protocol spec is the available on GitHub if you're interested in creating your own SignalR client.

I'm getting lots of request from the readers of my blog about writing a post on how to use stored procedure with Entity Framework Code First. So, in this post we're going to do just that. 

Endpoint xyz contains authorization metadata, but a middleware was not found that supports authorization.
Configure your application startup by adding app.UseAuthorization() inside the call to Configure(..) in the application startup code.

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app)
{
    ...

    app.UseRouting();

    app.UseAuthentication();
    app.UseAuthorization();

    app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
    {
        endpoints.MapDefaultControllerRoute();
    });
}

public class HomeController : ControllerBase
{
    [Authorize]
    public IActionResult BuyWidgets()
    {
        ...
    }
}

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app)
{
    ...

    app.UseRouting();

    app.UseAuthentication();
    app.UseAuthorization();

    app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
    {
        endpoints.MapDefaultControllerRoute().RequireAuthorization();
    });
}

[AllowAnonymous]
public class HomeController : ControllerBase
{
    ...
}

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    ...
    
    services.AddAuthorization(options =>
    {
        options.DefaultPolicy = new AuthorizationPolicyBuilder()
          .RequireAuthenticatedUser()
          .RequireScope("MyScope")
          .Build();
    });
}

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    services.AddAuthorization(options =>
    {
        options.FallbackPolicy = new AuthorizationPolicyBuilder()
          .RequireAuthenticatedUser()
          .RequireScope("MyScope")
          .Build();
    });
}

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app)
{
    app.UseRouting();

    app.UseAuthentication();
    app.UseAuthorization();

    app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
    {
        endpoints.MapDefaultControllerRoute();
    });
}

[AllowAnonymous]
public class HomeController : ControllerBase
{
}

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app)
{
    ...

    app.UseRouting();
