Recently I built plug-ins support to my TemperatureStation IoT solution web site. The code for .NET Core is different from what we have seen on full .NET Framework (application domains etc) but there’s still nothing complex. This blog post describes how to build simple plug-ins support to ASP.NET Core web application.

ASP.NET Core logging framework is intelligent one and it supports also so called defensive logging that helps us to have intelligent logs but still avoid putting additonal load to system when it’s not needed. This blog post is short overview of defensive logging on ASP.NET Core.

ASP.NET Core introduces new framework level logging system. Although it is feature-rich it is not complex to use and it provides decent abstractions that fit well with the architecture of most web applications.

Although command-line is not so popular thing in Windows world it has more love by developers in Linux world. In the light of .NET Core and ASP.NET Core that run also on Linux, developers from Linux world want to know if they can also develop ASP.NET Core applications using simple command-line tools. Here is my overview about how to develop, build and run ASP.NET Core applications on Linux command-line.

For my up-coming presentation “ASP.NET Core on Linux” I need Linux VM I can access with Remote Desktop to run Visual Studio Code. After hours of different problems that grew fast over my head I was able to make things work and now I have functioning VM I can use for demos. This post is short overview about what I did and it is for those readers who also want to have Linux VM with Visual Studio Code.

Here is how to make custom event source for ETW (Event Tracing for Windows) work on Windows 10 IoT Core. It’s not so simple as developers of business solutions are used with Microsoft tooling on other areas but it’s not also something too complex or time consuming to do. This blog post introduces simple logging class and steps to make it work on Windows 10 IoT Core.

Although ASP.NET Core has built-in dependency injection and inversion of control support it is still possible to use DI components by other vendors. ASP.NET Core supports other containers through simple IServiceProvider interface. This blog post explains how to use other containers with ASP.NET Core and shows how to use Structuremap and Autofac with framework level dependency injection.
