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.
In the third part of our small mini series: "Building an todo app with the Uno Platform" we will dive deeper into creating a modal dialog where we can enter the details of our todo item. We will see how we can import additional Nuget packages and how we can leverage validation.
This is the second part of our small mini series, where we build a todo app Kanban style with the UNO Platform. In this episode we are laying some ground work as well as defining all of our requirements we want to achieve.
We will slowly start creating our first components and make everything work smoothly together.
This is the beginning of a mini series shedding some lights on the UNO Platform. The UNO Platform enables us to write code once and run it on a wide range of platforms (Windows, MacOS, Android, Linux, ...). So let's have a look at this. To do so we will create a small Todo App Kanban-style so we can organize our thoughts and work 😉
SSE stands for Streaming SIMD Extensions. What does that exactly mean and how can we leverage that in our C# code?
This blog post will shed some light on this topic. Also we make a small comparison to PLINQ.
The decorator pattern is a common pattern in object oriented languages. It allows us to add behavior to an individual object without changing the object itself.
We will exactly that with a repository. We introduce a caching layer via the decorator pattern.
Just imagine you have your beautiful model in a form. And Blazor is very kind and does validation for you. It is really straight forward because you can annotate your model with some attributes like RequiredAttribute to tell Blazor: "Hey this property has to be set, otherwise the form will not be submitted."
But what if you want to have that easy setup with attributes but also want to say to Blazor: "Hey this property has to be set, if the other property is true.* Well, that does not work out of the box. So let's make it together!
MSBuild has several extensibility hooks to customize your build and today we discover one which let you centralized repeating aspects of your C# projects. Directory.Build.props
With the DebuggerTypeProxy we have the possibility to show more complex states. This can be helpful in certain cases where an object for example has a lot of properties.
Blazor is a beautiful framework for building SPA's. One advantage is that those SPA's feel like native applications. We do not feel that stuff is necessarily loading. But for that we have to keep our code performant.
This guide will highlight some of the techniques to keep your Blazor app running smoothly. We will also cover some more advanced use cases.
In this article I will shade some lights on some of the most used terms which seems very confusing especially for beginners: heap, stack and boxing and unboxing.
Furthermore we will also encounter internet wisdom like:
Value types get stored on the stack. Reference types on the heap
We discuss why this is wrong and what the hell performance has to do with it?
