After my first introduction to Windows Sandbox I took one of my ASP.NET Core applications and tried to find a way how to get it quickly to Windows Sandbox and open in browser. This scenario is already possible and it wasn’t hard all to make things work. This blog post shows how to do it.

After making ASP.NET Core code coverage reports work on local box I made step further and made code coverage reports available also on Azure DevOps. This blog post shows how to generate code coverage reports for .NET and ASP.NET Core applications on Azure DevOps.

My first draft of hierarchy traversing component got some serious feedback and it’s time to make some changes before moving on to next challenges. Hierarchy traverser is not optimal yet as it uses tail-call recursion and it’s easy to run to stack overflow with it. This blog post solves this problem and prepares for next challenges like node cache and continue-from-given-node.

Next major update for Windows will introduce Windows Sandbox. It is temporary lightweight virtual machine that allow users and developers to run programs in isolation. This blog post is overview of Windows Sandbox from developers perspective.

Recently I blogged about how to generate nice code coverage reports for ASP.NET Core and .NET Core applications. This blog post focuses on how to leave out from code coverage all code that will not be covered with unit tests and get numbers shown on code coverage reports correct.

I started playing with small idea about how to go through document repository on SharePoint using more universal approach than just piling code to using-blocks and methods that depend on these. My goal was to separate in code hierarchy traversing logic from document exporting logic so I can use traversing part also in other projects on different types of hirarchies. Here is my nice and clean solution.

ASP.NET Core supports response compression. From popular algorithms gzip and Brotli are supported. Those who like can also implement their own response compression providers. This blog post shows how to response compression works in ASP.NET Core.

Plex Media Server is ideal free replacement for out-dated Microsoft home media stack. To be honest it’s even more powerful and has some nice features we only dreamed about back in days. One example: remote access to home media. Plex in home network can be available also from public internet and this blog post covers some scenarios where Plex is running behing IIS reverse-proxy.

Static dependency can be nightmare for developers who write tests for their code. There is not much to do to get rid of static dependencies if they come with third-party libraries or NuGet packages. This blog post introduces two tricks to make code with static dependencies testable.

ASP.NET Core uses built-in dependency injection mechanism provided by Microsoft. This blog post intorduces how to use same mechanism in .NET Core console applications. For those who like other DI/IoC frameworks this writing provides demo about how to use Autofac with .NET Core framework-level dependency injection.
