Today, we’re releasing .NET 5.0 Preview 6. It contains a small set of new features and performance improvements. The .NET 5.0 Preview 4 post covers what we are planning to deliver with .NET 5.0. Most of the features are now in the product, but some are not yet in their final state. We expect that the release will be feature-complete with Preview 8.
Hackers are smart and users are not being able to cope with their pace of evolution. The result is malware outbreaks we get to know about frequently. Windows is the most widely used OS on Pcs. That makes it the most widely targeted OS too. What is an average user’s (by average I mean not too technical) defense in such case? The anti malware programs. Of course, you have to pay a decent price for your PC to be secured from latest malware derivatives, but what’s better than to get the security for no cost?
We’re excited to announce general availability of F# 4.7 in conjunction with the .NET Core 3.0 release! In this post, I’ll show you how to get started, explain everything in F# 4.7 and give you a sneak peek at what we’re doing for the next version of F#.
.NET 8 Preview 4 is now available and includes many great new improvements to ASP.NET Core.
Here’s a summary of what’s new in this preview release:
Blazor
Streaming rendering with Blazor components
Handling form posts with Blazor SSR
Route to named elements in Blazor
Webcil packaging for Blazor WebAssembly apps
API authoring
Expanded support for form binding in minimal APIs
API project template includes .http file
Native AOT
Logging and exception handling in compile-time generated minimal APIs
ASP.NET Core top-level APIs annotated for trim warnings
Reduced app size with configurable HTTPS support
Worker Service template updates
Additional default services configured in the slim builder
API template JSON configuration changes
Support for JSON serialization of compiler-generated IAsyncEnumerable unspeakable types
Authentication and authorization
Identity API endpoints
Improved support for custom authorization policies with IAuthorizationRequirementData
ASP.NET Core metrics

ASP.NET Core is a completely new web framework for building modern cloud-based web applications. In this presentation learn all about ASP.NET Core and including the latest features and innovations in MVC. You’ll see how you can build applications that run cross-platform on Windows, Mac and Linux via .NET Core. You’ll also see how ASP.NET Core MVC gives you a unified web programming model for building both web UI and web APIs.
ASP.NET 5 is an entirely new web stack, rebuilt from the ground up to run fast, cross-platform, and completely configurable. Join David Fowler, one of the architects of ASP.NET 5, as he goes deep into the core of ASP.NET 5. What's the hosting model? How does the HTTP stack work? How do middleware and NuGet packages get pulled in to compose your application? How do the different servers (IIS, Kestrel, WebListener, etc.) actually work? How can you take advantage of these things to build lean, fast, optimized web apps on the new ASP.NET 5 platform? Come find out!
What they neglect to say is all that testability and persistence ignorance flies right out the window when you create a new ASP.NET Web Application using the MVC template and "Individual User Accounts" authentication. What you get is a single-layered application, tightly coupled to Entity Framework, that:
Ignores the patterns that facilitate testing, including: the repository pattern, unit of work pattern, and dependency injection;
Forces you to implement their IUser interface in your application’s User entity, thereby coupling it to ASP.NET Identity;
Eliminates any clear separation between your entities, persistence concerns, and business logic. Persistence ignorance? Forget about it.
Thankfully, due to the extensibility designed into ASP.NET Identity, it is possible to ditch the reference to the Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework assembly and write a custom implementation that can address these and other architectural issues. Just be forewarned: it is not a trivial undertaking, and you’ll have to put up with some code smell that is baked into the Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.Core assembly.
In this webinar, we will show the benefits of using DevExpress Object-Relational Mapping Library - the eXpress Persistent Objects - with .NET Core 2. The presentation will quickly cover the basics for those new to DevExpress products, and will show how you can use our ORM to manage data in ASP.NET Core or Xamarin apps.
In this section, I’m going to cover how you can use SignalR outside of a Hub. In most asp.net core applications, you will likely want to communicate with the connect clients from within your application but outside of a Hub. You can accomplish this by using the HubContext.
For example, an ASP.NET Core MVC Controller or any other class that is instantiated by ASP.NET Core’s Dependency Injection.
The HubContext allows you to send messages to your connected clients. It has many of the same features to communicate with clients as when you are inside of a Hub.
Experiments with the new WASI workload in .NET 8 Preview 4
.NET 8 adds a new "wasi-experimental" workload, replacing the earlier Wasi.Sdk. This is a step towards giving .NET native, built-in support for server-side WebAssembly scenarios.
This video shows how to get started, then demonstrates how .NET+WASI creates possibilities for new kinds of apps and new ways to use .NET.
