Hey, I'm Steven a .NET Developer and Freelancer in Zurich, Switzerland. I am a Microsoft MVP. Also, this blog is open source on GitHub.
The .NET provided DI container has some means to check if the container can be created. This is useful to ensure that all dependencies can be resolved and that the container is correctly configured. Let's have a quick look.
Did you ever ask yourself: When will the good ol' .NET Framework retire? The short answer: I don't know, but we can make a good guess!
Almost all applications are using CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) to allow the client to access the resources from the server. When the client sends a request to the server, the server will respond with the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header to allow the client to access the resources.
Fabian Gosebrink and I finally launch our new website: developer-academy.ch. A website meant for developers that want to level up their skills!
Debugging is important, and it's often useful to be able to inspect the state of objects in the debugger. However sometimes you're working with 3rd party types that don't have any debugging capabilities, so you can't see their internal state easily. In this blog post we will have a look on how to equip 3rd party types with debugging capabilities.
As I am an open source maintainer myself, I want to highlight my personal thoughts on why open source is important. I will put a bit more focus on the .NET side of things, but most of the thoughts are "valid" in the broader open source world.
Sometimes you are faced with the need to authenticate videos and images in Angular. And yes I know, normally I write about .NET, but this one took my some time - so I thought it might be worth sharing.
Recently, there were two new features merged in .NET 10 I think are small little quality of life improvements: Avoid Blocking on startup with BackgroundServices and a new string comparer.
LINQ has a Join operator, that basically translates to something like a SQL INNER JOIN. There is no built in operator for a LEFT JOIN in LINQ, but you can achieve the same result by using a combination of GroupJoin, SelectMany and DefaultIfEmpty. But there is a chance that this might change in the future, as there is a proposal to add a LeftJoin operator in .net 10.
Just as a heads up: This blog post will probably bring you 0 value in your daily life - well, maybe a short smile. Let's put ValueTuple to its extreme!
