C# 7.2 introduces new access modifier – protected private. It targets developers who are responsible for class libraries and API-s design and who need also consistent design for internals of class libraries. This blog post shows how protected private access modifier works.

I had presentation for local community about Blazor and as a side-product I built something useful. Blazor supports components that are a little bit similar to ones we have in React.js. I took my previous work from my blog posts Paging with Entity Framework Core and Building Pager view component and built pager component for Blazor.

C# 7.1 introduces a little update to default literal expressions that makes them a little bit shorter and on some cases helps us write cleaner and more readable code. This blog post introduces this litlle feature update in C# 7.1.

Although there are many examples available demonstrating Blazor views it is also possible to separate code and presentation by using Razor pages with backing model. This blog post is based on my Blazor presentation and focuses on separating code and presentations of Blazor pages.

My previous post about Raspberry Pi traffic lights introduced simple traffic lights simulator. I developed the solution further and came out with more advanced version that has better architecture, more flexible design and support for traffic lights schedules that are automatically downloaded from remote server.

Creating PDF-files on ASP.NET Core has been issue for awhile. I needed some proof-of-concept solution to prove it’s possible to generate PDF-files on ASP.NET Core easily without writing a lot of code or going through complex configuration. I solved the problem and here is my solution.

Most of beginner examples for Raspberry Pi introduce how to turn on and off LED lamp. I wrote a little bit more complex starting example but it has some touch from real life – my example simulates traffic lights. I’m IoT noobie but using Microsoft tools it was actually easy to build this little example. This blog post is short introduction about what I did.

Although C# 7.1 hasn’t many new features there are still some convenience hacks I like. One of these is inferred tuple names meaning that we can name tuple members using variable names. It’s not a big change in language but it still makes code a little bit cleaner where tuples are used.

Next version of ASP.NET Core is getting better and better and with it we can use new tooling for Blazor applications announced yesterday at official ASP.NET blog. Blazor is Microsoft tooling to build WebAssembly applications using .NET languages. This blog post is short introduction to Blazor tooling and WebAssembly.

Sharing code and working together on it in real time from different locations has been issue for years. We have video chat and screen sharing for long time but working on same files together in IDE has been a dream. Visual Studio Live Share is here to solve the problem. Although the service is not generally available yet it is possible to try out early versions of it using Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code.This blog post gives straightforward overview of Visual Studio Live Share specially for developers.
