Today, developers are paying more attention to mapping libraries than ever before, because modern architecture forces them to map object to object across layers. For example, in the past I prepared a repository for clean architecture in github. So it’s a template for visual studio, you can see it and...

Sometimes it’s the little things that count. When .NET 6 dropped this November, a few top-line items grabbed all the attention. I’m talking about C# 10, hot reload, Blazor’s AOT compilation, and some serious inner loop performance improvements. All of them are worthy enhancements. But if you look beyond the...

No code development is the future of software development. With no coding, you can build custom applications with little to no code. No code platforms are secure and easy to use, making them an excellent option for employee-only applications. These tools are ideal for tasks, time tracking, and internal communications....

Why do we need lifecycle hooks? Modern front-end frameworks move the application from state to state. Data fuels these updates. These technologies interact with the data which in turn transitions the state. With every state change, there are many specific moments where certain assets become available. At one instance the...

Probably, one of the most dreaded software development methodologies might make sense again for small companies in a operational perspective. Ken Schwaber — the cofounder of Scrum and founder of Scrum.org — says Waterfall “literally ruined our profession.” “It made it so people were viewed as resources rather than valuable...

What if programming languages were stocks? And you had to make a portfolio to fetch good returns in 2022? You probably have seen various surveys and analyses listing the most popular programming languages. Those cover the universe of programming languages, like the S&P 500 does for the stock market. What...

Many programmers wonder whether they will still be hired as they enter their golden years. If you are a programmer and have been working for more than a few years, I won’t be surprised if thoughts have gone through your head about whether you will still be hireable as you...

Today, we are going to cover uploading and downloading multiple files using ASP.Net Core 5.0 Web API by a simple process. Note: This same technique works in .Net Core 3.1 and .Net Core 2.1 as well. Begin with creating an empty web API project in visual studio and for target,...

Dispose and Finalize are two methods you often use to release resources occupied by your .NET and .NET Core applications running in the context of the CLR. Most importantly, if you have unmanaged resources in your application, you should release the resources occupied by such resources explicitly. Due to the...

What is .Net 5 .Net 5 is one of the major and latest releases of Microsoft’s .NET family. It comes with many exciting features compared to the previous released .Net core. The primary goal with the release of .Net 5 is to merge all future .Net development onto one unified...

The following are a set of best practices for using the HttpClient object in .NET Core when communicating with web APIs. Note that probably not all practices would be recommended in all situations. There can always be good reasons to break from a certain practice. This list is not supposed...

.NET has a large number of built in exceptions. However, there maybe times when none of the built exceptions seem adequate for your particular scenario and you will need to create your own custom (AKA “user defined”) exception. This post focuses on a discussion of how to create custom exceptions...

Code Generation Code generation is a great way to apply patterns consistently across a solution or to create multiple similar classes based on some outside input file, or even other classes in the same solution. The tooling has changed over the years, but the result is the same… a lot...

If you’re anything like me, you’ve looked for ways of making your applications faster. In this article, I’ll show you a somewhat unknown class in the .NET framework that makes lazy creation of objects easy to do and thread safe. The Old Way Before we get to the fun stuff,...

As we aware that framework .net core 2.1 is now under LTS (Long Term Support) releases. So, this framework is more stable and may use to create a large application. When we talk about web application, security is a major concern. In this article, I have explained about 10 points...

SQL Server performance tuning can seem overwhelming when you don’t know where to start. In this article Robert Sheldon explains 9 best practices for performance tuning. SQL Server is a powerful and feature-rich database management platform that can support a wide range of applications, but if queries are not performing...

Monitoring SQL Server for performance is a critical part of a DBA’s job. In this article, Edward Pollack explains some of the SQL Server performance monitor data and how to collect it. Windows collects a wide array of useful metrics that can be used to measure the performance of the...

In C#, reference types can be assigned null values. This is something that developers will have to live with until they use classes to create software. Unfortunately, the folks at Microsoft cannot simply disallow null assignment to reference variables at compile time, because that would break the codebase of almost...

I've recently gotten into using Docker in my development cycle and I'm really enjoying how much of a wonderful tool it is. One thing that always used to be a pain was setting up a development server to run SQL Server. Now with Docker, I can just spin up a...

In the context of helping the teams at Criteo to clean up our code base, I gathered and documented a few C# anti-patterns similar to Kevin’s publication about performance code smell. Here is an extract related to good/bad memory patterns. Even though the garbage collector is doing its works out...
