I published to Github sample temperature measuring solution that runs on Windows 10 IoT Core and that is built on Visual Studio. Source code with basic documentation is available too. This demo project is there to give some starting point to those who are visiting my Brewing Eisbock with Raspberry PI and Windows 10 IoT sessions in different conferences.

Preparing for CodeCamp Cluj 2016 I needed to host one ASP.NET Core application on IIS web server. I had one simple box with clean IIS available in my network and I installed my ASP.NET Core application on it. This blog post is simple step by step guide showing how to prepare and configure IIS for ASP.NET Core applications.

Besides all other dependency injection forms, ASP.NET Core supports also view injection. Yes, it is possible to inject instances directly to views and there’s no need to update view models to carry information that is already available through dependency injection. This blog post demonstrates how to use view injection.

By its nature ASP.NET Core application is .NET Core command-line application with some web sites stuff that is set up when application starts. Although Visual Studio has ASP.NET Core web site template that comes with simple default web site and start-up class it’s possible to be even more minimal. This blog post introduces the minimal ASP.NET Core web application.

Writing tests for ASP.NET Core applications can be done using xUnit. xUnit works on both.NET Framework and .NET Core. This post shows how to set up and use xUnit with ASP.NET Core applications in Visual Studio and on command-line. Targeting multiple frameworks is also covered.

This blog post is about how to really precompile ASP.NET MVC views. It destroys the myth about MvcBuildViews as precompilation tool and shows you how to configure precompiling. It also stops on some internals of precompiling and explains what are the options and limitations with it. There is also real-life example for Azure where precompiling of views may avoid some serious headaches that one may face otherwise.

On ASP.NET Core view components support dependency injection. We can use some DI/IoC container but we can also go with framework level dependency injection. This blog post explains how dependency injection works with view components and as an example I show you some code I’m using to build top menu for my demo site.

Whenever we deal with data we need some mechanism for paging it. It makes it easier for users to navigate through data and same time we don’t put too much load to our systems. This blog post shows you how to build pager for your MVC site using ViewComponent and PagedResult class.

Search is important feature of many apps and web sites because it is the main way for users to find quickly the information they are looking for. Typing search keywords to search box is not the end point of search we can provide to users. Sites that have huge amount of data can also help users to find out what keywords to use. In this post I will show how to use Azure Search suggesters to help users to find out these keywords.

In my last blog post about REST-clients Why Azure REST API-s and how to prepare for using them? I introduced how to write simple base class for Azure REST API-s. In this post we will implement simple REST-client for Azure Search. This is the same code that I’m using in my beer store sample application. I also make some notes about how to use search clients in domain models.
