.NET

In my previous .NET Aspire blog post, we talked about using .NET Aspire to orchestrate the different parts of our web application. However, the .NET Aspire dashboard did not show any telemetry (traces, metrics, or structured logging) because we did not instrument the API or front-end code. We are going to change that in this article, and see how we can easily integrate OpenTelemetry into our application.

You might have already seen blog posts and videos showing how .NET Aspire can enhance our local development environment, using an example with a Blazor SPA and an ASP.NET Core API. However, not everyone uses Blazor; many prefer a JavaScript framework for front-end development.

In my last article, we explored how to integrate an ASP.NET Core API with a Nuxt.js front end. However, we were using HTTP to debug both the API and the front end locally.

In this article, I will walk you through the process of integrating an ASP.NET Core API with a Nuxt.js front end to have a stack that provides a nice developer experience to build web applications.

With a new .NET version released each year, an LTS version every three years, and regular patches, you likely have multiple .NET SDK versions installed on your computer. Some may need updating, while others should be removed because they are no longer supported. In this article, we will explore 5 effective ways to manage your .NET SDK versions.

In this post, we will discuss how to write a small .NET program that retrieves events from an IT event calendar and submits them to another one using AngleSharp.

I love how the Azure SDKs have evolved over the years. In the past, there was no consistency between the various Azure SDKs. However, that's not longer the case (at least for most Azure libraries), as they now adhere to the same principles and follow a set of well-defined guidelines.

In this article, we will explore the latest C# 12 and .NET 8 features by applying them to the basic dotnet Web API template.

If you are deploying your application to Azure from Azure Pipelines, you might want to leverage the ability to do so without using secrets thanks to Workload identity federation. In this article, I will demonstrate how to automate the configuration of your Azure DevOps project, with everything pre-configured to securely deploy applications to Azure.

Today is a great time to be a developer:

Some tips about .NET, pnpm, and Azure DevOps.

In this article, we will talk about how to provision an Azure SQL Database with authentication restricted to Active Directory users/groups/applications. We will use Pulumi to do that.

This week we talk about code analysis in .NET, cron expressions with crontab guru, diagrams in Azure DevOps wikis, and sending HTTP requests in VS Code.

.NET configuration providers, Vite vscode extension, Azure DevOps pull request templates, and degit.

This is my first article of the series Tips I learned this week for 2022 🚀! And today we are going to see some tips about .NET, Azure, GitHub, and VS Code.

Today I talk to you about the recent changes I made to my blog when I migrated it to Statiq and open-sourced it.

In our daily job, we often have to query secure REST APIs that require our HTTP requests to have a valid access token in their Authorization header. Of course, many APIs come with an SDK that makes the job easier for us as it directly takes care of retrieving a token and sending the authenticated HTTP requests. However, it is not always the case and knowing how to implement that using HttpClient, IMemoryCache, and DelegatingHandler can become pretty useful.
