ASP.NET

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. This blog post shows how to set up and use file logging using framework-level dependency injection.

Paging query results is timeless topic and some days ago I got question about how to do it with Entity Framework Core. Using my previous work on paging I wrote some simple extension methods that work with IEnumerable and IQueryable interfaces. There’s also method that maps entities to models.

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.

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.

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.
