A C# Source Generators, as Microsoft defines it, is “a new C# compiler feature that lets C# developers inspect user code and generate new C# source files that can be added to a compilation. This is done via a new kind of component that we’re calling a Source Generator.” Think of C# Source generator as […]
C# is awesome programming language. The C# team at Microsoft is adding new features with every new version of the language. And forthcoming version C# 9 is no exception. Among other nice features, there will also be a feature called Top-level statements. You can read more about proposal on this link https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/proposals/csharp-9.0/top-level-statements. Furthermore, you can […]
In this blog post I will show how to remotely debug simple .NET Core console application running on Raspberry Pi and Ubuntu Linux. The purpose of this blog post is not to debug complex application, but to show step by step procedure how to perform remote debugging of .NET Core application. In other words, I […]
Entity Framework (EF) Core is a lightweight, extensible, open source and cross-platform version of Entity Framework data access technology. It’s rewritten version of Entity Framework Object-Relation-Mapper for .NET Core. It’s under .NET Foundation , hosted on GitHub, mainly developed by Microsoft, but totally open source. On short, you can use it everywhere: commercial apps, open […]
Raspberry Pi 4 Model B with 4GB of RAM is really one very nice small device. In this blog post I will present how easy it is to use GPIO (general-purpose input/output) from .NET Core 3 and C# running on Ubuntu and Raspberry Pi4. I will show how to use Raspberry Pi4 GPIOs from .NET […]
.NET Core introduced one very useful deployment option: self-contained application deployment. This means that deployment package contains all the required artifacts to run the application. I can simply copy deploy output to target machine and run it. No runtime prerequisites needed as it is the case with .NET Framework. Furthermore, .NET Core 3.0 introduced self-contained […]
.NET Core is here to stay. It’s open source, super fast and super awesome. With .NET Core and cross platform mantra, a .NET renaissance has begun! Microsoft again found just the right way how to regain DEVELOPERS back with hot, interesting and modern development platform. Together with cross-platform development tools, it opens so many interesting voyages for us – .NET developers.
I never really liked writing JavaScript and doing web browser DOM interaction. For me, dealing with JavaScript has always been a pain, a-must when developing web applications . In contrast, I always enjoyed to write C# code. Back in Silverlight times, C# was – for a relative short period – one possibility to write web […]
Task-based Asynchronous Pattern (TAP) was introduced in .NET Framework 4 and since then, it is the recommended approach to asynchronous programming in .NET.
Event-based Asynchronous Pattern (EAP) is still in use, especially at legacy systems, but for new development is not recommended anymore.
In this post I will show how to wrap EAP into TAP and use more modern approach.
As of this writing, C# 8 is still in Preview 5, so It’s not 100% clear if all listed features will end up in final release. C# 8 will be probably released at .NET Conf , September 23 — 25, 2019. Nevertheless, let’s take a look at new features of C# 8. List of reported […]
