Google announced the Android App Bundle AAB  in 2018 and it looked like a good idea - better than the APK we have all been used to. Now it has been announced that in August 2021 the APK will be phased out in favour of the AAB. andro

The GitHub Issues integration allows you to search and reference your issues from the commit message box in VS, in response to this suggestion ticket. You can reference an issue or a pull request by typing # or clicking on the # button in the lower right side of the commit message text box. If you weren't already authenticated to access related issues, you will now be prompted to sign in to take advantage of this feature.

Line Unstaging

To continue improving our line-staging (aka interactive staging) feature, we've added unstage. You can now use the tool tip option to unstage changes, line by line, as requested here Unstage individual lines and hunks in a file - 4 votes

Arm64

We continue to build native support for Arm64 on Windows 11 for the most popular developer scenarios. We now support the .NET Multi-platform App UI (MAUI) workload on Arm64 Visual Studio.

• Available as a preview feature, you can now view Unreal Engine logs without leaving VS. To see the logs from the Unreal Engine Editor, click View > Other Windows > UE Log. To filter your logs, click on the "Categories" or "Verbosity" dropdowns. Since this is an experimental feature, feedback is greatly appreciated.
• You can now import STM32CubeIDE projects for embedded development within Visual Studio with File > Open > Import STM32CubeIDE project. This generates a CMake project with device flashing and debugging settings for STLink. You must have the STM32CubeIDE installed with the board support package for your device. More details available here.
• You can use the new CMake Debugger to debug your CMake scripts at build time. You can set breakpoints based on filenames, line numbers, and when CMake errors are triggered. Additionally, you can view call stacks of filenames and watch defined variables. Currently, this only works with bundled CMake, and projects targeting WSL or remote machines are not supported yet. We are actively working to add more support to the CMake debugger, and feedback is greatly appreciated. 

Meet the new version of the leading eCommerce solution. Today we are ending one more six month cycle with the release of nopCommerce 3.70. We made a big step to the ideal eCommerce platform with the latest version of nopCommerce. This time we pursued general scalability by close integration with world-famous Azure and implemented some changes desired by store-owners and required by the newest SEO trends.  

• Use BindAttribute on the action method 
• Use [Editable] or [BindNever] on the model 
  
• Use two different models 
• Use a base class 
  
• Use ModelMetadataTypeAttribute 
  
• Explicit binding via TryUpdateModelAsync<> 
  

This was a very quick run down of some of the options available to you to prevent mass assignment. Which approach you take is up to you, though I would definitely suggest using one of the latter 2-model approaches. There are other options too, such as doing explicit binding via TryUpdateModelAsync<> but the options I've shown represent some of the most common approaches. Whatever you do, don't just blindly bind your view models if you have properties that should not be edited by a user, or you could be in for a nasty surprise.

And whatever you do, don't bind directly to your EntityFramework models. Pretty please. 

System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputFile' does not contain a definition for 'PostedFiles' and no extension method 'PostedFiles' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputFile' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

VDoc.Web.Controllers.TopicController.ViewsClass' does not contain a definition for '_Edit' and no extension method '_Edit' accepting a first argument of type 'VDoc.Web.Controllers.TopicController.ViewsClass' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Developers who are new to coding or still learning can take a tip from those who know: if they aren’t using Stack Overflow, 84% of developers are using technical documentation to learn. Of those using technical documentation, 90% use the documentation found in API and SDK packages.

This tip is for those who just started working on Mongo DB and have some experience of LINQ
