When building a web application, it can be helpful to deploy your application with the latest features and code changes to a server, so that users can actually test it. Especially at the beginning of a new project, setting up such an environment where test users can immediately see and test new features is super important.
(more…)In the previous blog posts you learned about different C# 10.0 features:
In this blog post, let's look at another interesting feature of C# 10.0 which is called extended property patterns.
(more…)In the previous blog post you learned about C# 10.0 file-scoped namespaces. In this blog post you learn about another C# 10.0 feature that is called global using directives.
(more…)C# 10.0 and .NET 6.0 will be released in November 2021. Time to look at the new language features with a little series of blog posts. Let's start in this blog post with a very simple feature that is called File Scoped Namespaces.
(more…)When it comes to naming fields in classes, there are three types of .NET developers (The truth is there are even more, but let's focus on the three that I see most often). :-)
(more…)If you have looked already at the Changes page of Team Explorer in Visual Studio 2019, you might have seen that it has a new Stashes section. It is shown in the screenshot below. But for what is that Stashes section?
(more…)When you write simple properties in C#, like auto properties or readonly properties that have an expression body, always put them on a single line if the code is short enough for a good one-line statement.
(more…)Visual Studio 2019 has many fantastic new features. Some of these features like the new start window make the use of Git in Visual Studio 2019 way easier than in the previous versions. Do you want to learn how to use Git in Visual Studio 2019?
In my new Pluralsight course Using Git for Source Control in Visual Studio 2019, you will learn how to use Git in Visual Studio 2019 while working on a .NET application in the context of a small team.
(more…)Note: There's a MS Dev Show Episode where @ytechie, @carlschweitzer and I are talking about UWP and the Visual Studio Shell built as part of this post. You find it here on www.msdevshow.comUWP is the technology to build native applications for the Windows Platform. But there's still some stuff missing that is required by a typical line-of-business application for the classic desktop: TreeView, DataGrid, Validation, SqlClient and more. Some parts like a DataGrid are available as 3rd-party controls. Other parts like the TreeView are already in development, as you can see in the Windows Dev Platform Backlog. That backlog shows that Microsoft is working on a TreeView, which is awesome! And I'm pretty sure, at some point in the future we'll also get a DataGrid. This was the case for WPF and also for Silverlight. But let's see, the future will tell us and for today we've great 3rd-party DataGrids. But what else is required to build a classic desktop application? (more…)
To develop mobile applications today you have many options:
