Hey, I'm Steven a .NET Developer in Switzerland. I am a Microsoft MVP. Also, this blog is open source on GitHub.
As with every .NET release, Microsoft improves the performance of the runtime and guess what: This release is no exception to this. In this blog post, I want to go through some of the improvements made so far (.NET 8 preview 3).
In this short blog post, I will show you 5 useful extensions for Task
Source Generators are more and more an integral part of the .NET ecosystem. But how does that play together with everyone's favorite: Regular Expressions?
In this blog post we will dive in how we can leverage source generators in combination with regular expression to have a debuggable, but also very performant way of executing regular expressions!
In this blog post, we will explore the use of SIMD instructions to speed up LINQ queries. We will use the Vector
In this blog post we will create a ToolTip component in Blazor from scratch. We will use the Blazor WebAssembly template to create a new project. We will then add a ToolTip component to the project and use it in the Index page. We will also add some styling to the ToolTip component.
The advantage over using a library is that we can customize the component to our needs as well as keeping it simple! So let's get started!
Source generators are a powerful feature introduced to C#, allowing developers to generate additional code during the compilation process automatically. They can help reduce boilerplate, improve performance, and simplify your codebase.
This blog post will introduce source generators, discuss how they work, and walk through an example of a source generator for generating build information.
Did you know you can use the 'is not' operator with exception filtering to simplify and improve your error handling in C#?
In this short blog post, I will show you how to use it.
In this blog post, we will discuss how we can "cache" entries from the database. We will talk about why we would do this in the first place and how to achieve that.
Also, we will talk about some implications and what "cache invalidation" is.
Sometimes you have to map an object to another representation in C#. And you think: Why isn't C# duck-typing capable?
You might hear of libraries like AutoMapper that do the tedious work of mapping one object to another with the same structure. This blog post will give a super simple introduction to how those libraries are working internally.
In the end a bit of a subjective topic on whether or not I would use such libraries.
Skip and Take are used for pagination or limit the number of elements returned by a query.
Since C# 8 you can use Take with a Range. Let's see some examples.
