Use Roslyn to Write a Live Code Analyzer for Your API 

can’t be the only person who hates waiting for the code to compile and run… Especially when I want to test only a small part of it! That’s a total waste of time! But good news everyone, I found a way to run a part of my C# code without building the whole project! 

Ctrl + E, E – the magical shortcut! 

What’s new?

Here’s a sampling of the great new features and improvements in ASP.NET Core for .NET 7:

• Servers and runtime
  • Rating limiting: Limit the rate of handled requests using flexible endpoint configuration and policies.
  • Output caching: Configure output caching to reduce to more efficiently handle request.
  • Request decompression: Accept requests with compressed content.
  • HTTP/3: Built-in support for HTTP/3, the latest HTTP version based on the new QUIC multiplexed transport protocol.
  • WebSockets over HTTP/2: Use WebSockets over HTTP/2 connections.
  • WebTransport (experimental): Create streams and data grams over HTTP/3 with experimental support for WebTransport.
• Minimal APIs
  • Endpoint filters: Use endpoint filters to run cross-cutting code before or after a route handler.
  • Typed results: Return strongly typed results from minimal APIs.
  • Route groups: Organize groups of endpoints with a common prefix
• gRPC
  • JSON transcoding: Expand the reach of your gRPC services by also exposing them as JSON-based APIs
  • OpenAPI with JSON transcoding (experimenal): Use experimental support for generating OpenAPI specs for your gRPC JSON transcoded services.
  • gRPC health checks: Report and check the health of gRPC server apps.
  • gRPC client AddCallCredentials : Create clients that send authorized requests using bearer tokens.
• SignalR
  • Client results: Return client results to the server in response to requests from the server.
• MVC
  • Nullable view and page models: Nullable page and view models are now supported to improve the experience when using null state checking.
• Blazor
  • Custom elements: Build standard HTML custom elements with Blazor to integrate Blazor components with any JavaScript-based app.
  • Handle location changing events: Intercept location changing events to create custom user experiences when navigating.
  • Bind after/get/set modifiers: Run async logic after data binding and independently control how data binding gets and sets the data.
  • Dynamic authentication requests: Create dynamic authentication requests at runtime with custom parameters to handle advanced authentication scenarios in Blazor WebAssembly apps.
  • Improved JavaScript interop on WebAssembly: Optimize JavaScript interop call when running on WebAssembly using the new [JSImport]/[JSExport] support.
  • WebAssembly SIMD & exception handling: Improve performance with .NET WebAssembly ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation using WebAssembly SIMD and exception handling support. 

We’re excited to share all the new features and improvements in .NET 8 Preview 4! This release is a follow-up to the Preview 3 release. You’ll continue to see many more features show up with these monthly releases. .NET 6 and 7 users will want to follow this release closely since we have focused on making it a straightforward upgrade path. 

The preview release of PowerShell 7.1 includes .NET 5 preview 1. Starting with PowerShell 7.0, devs have shifted to align with .NET’s release and support life-cycle more closely. PowerShell 7.1 is expected to become available within a week or two of .NET 5’s release date of winter 2020 and align with their annual release cadence going forward. 

So stay tuned for those details. A follow-on .NET Core 3.1 release -- which will include late bug fixes and more, and, who knows, maybe a stable Blazor WebAssembly -- is scheduled for November.  

Bug fixing

• Adding space in PRE was moving the cursor at the beginning.
• Comments from Word were not cleared all the time.
• Extra new line was added in FF when deleting an empty line.
