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.
If you use a public Blazor Server application (like this blog is) and you want to expose an RSS Feed (I know kind of old school) you can perfectly do that with Blazor Server and a little help from a nuget package from Microsoft. Furthermore this guide is not only valid for Blazor but every ASP.NET Core endpoint.
RavenDB is a well known open-source document-oriented databse for .NET. And of course we want to test our logic and not only locally while developing, but also our continuous integration pipeline should be able to run our tests. So let's tackle exactly that.
This article will talk about the garbage collector in .NET. Why do we have and need him? And why it is essential to understand the behavior to know what impact on our application he has.
What happens when a user navigates away and still has a pending request to our server? Or what happens if we have a request which might take forever and wastes our resources?
Let's tackle these problems with a CancellationToken.
Finalizers (historically referred to as destructors) are in C# since its dawn of time and are used to cleanup resources. But they should not used in every use-case and can harm your applications performance.
What is Tail-Recursion? We will discover this "special" form of recursion on the example of the Fibonacci series. Also we will check how much faster it is and why.
In C# we can add the sealed modifier to a class to indicate that no one is allowed to derive / inherit from that class.
Let's have a look at the compiler in certain scenarios what happens if you seal a class.
When we are passing objects around we can do this either via reference or by value. Which of those two methods is faster?
To answer this question we have to dive into a bit of info about what happens exactly when you pass something around and how the other side will receive this.
In this blog post we discover how we can mutate a ReadOnlyCollection to have more or less entries than its original state. Readonly does not mean it is immutable. Also we will check out the ImmutableArray.
Is declaring a number or string as public const considered bad practice? Let's have a look what a const variable means in the first place.
Let's find out and also check what are the alternatives.
