You’ve built a React web app and would love to bring it to iOS and Android. That means you have to learn React Native first, right? As it turns out, there’s an easier way to deploy to mobile. With Capacitor, a new native runtime for web apps, you can deploy any React-based web app as a PWA, iOS, or Android app - all from the same codebase. 

I’ve started looking at using MediatR for my domain events implementations. To that end, I created a quick sample project using ASP.NET Core 2.0. Overall things were pretty easy to get going. If you haven’t used MediatR before, or if you’re looking for a quick intro on how to set it up for ASP.NET Core, keep reading (if not, how did you get here? Was the title not clear?). 

Manage events entities is pretty easy. You define few informations like a subject, a content, and maybe the most important, dates (a start and a end date of course).
You’re ready to create calendar or timeline features. Baooom! Now you need to be able to create recurrent event ! And everything is going to break.
I’ve work on this kind of feature, and here are my small advices 

This post is for people interested in setting up an instance of SQL Server 2022 Developer Edition for personal use.  

• WebP support - People have been after this for a while! We provide comprehensive support for decoding and encoding WebP images. 

The 1.x branch isn’t going anywhere… yet
Angular 1.x is stable
Some people still support IE8 

VSCode for the C# Developer - Tim Corey - NDC London 2023

VSCode is a nimble editor that can do just about anything. In this session, we will set up and configure VSCode for use in C# development. Then we will use it to build, debug, and deploy a small .NET Core web application to Azure.
Along the way, we will go over a list of the top C#-focused plugins for VSCode. Whether you are just getting started with VSCode or you are used to VSCode but want to start building C# projects, this session will get you up to speed fast. 

You already know how role-based authorization works in ASP.NET Core.

[Authorize(Roles = "Administrator")]
public class AdministrationController : Controller
{
}

But what if you don't want hardcode roles on the Authorize attribute or create roles later and specify in which controller and action it has access without touching source code?

DynamicAuthorization helps you authorize users without hardcoding role(s) on the Authorize attribute with minimum effort. DynamicAuthorization is built at the top of ASP.NET Core Identity and use identity mechanism for managing roles and authorizing users. 

There are two MySQL providers for Entity Framework Core:
- The official one from MySQL: MySql.Data.EntityFrameworkCore. As of now, the latest version is 8.0.19, and works with Entity Framework Core 2.1 (and probably also 2.2). Since EF Core 3.0 is a major version with breaking changes, you cannot use it with this provider.
- The Pomelo provider: Pomelo.EntityFrameworkCore.MySql. There is a 3.1 version of this provider.
In other words, if you want to use EF Core 3.0/3.1 with MySQL, at this point you need to use the Pomelo provider (or wait for the official MySQL one to get released).
