Automating creating NuGet packages with MSBuild

Code, the Universe and everything...

NuGet is a great way of shipping projects. You work on a project, you publish a package and it is immediately available to, literally, millions of developers. Creating a package consists of a few steps like authoring a .nuspec file, creating a folder structure, copying the right files to the right folders/subfolders and calling the nuget pack command. While the steps are not complicated they are error prone. I learnt this lesson when I shipped the first alpha versions of some of my NuGet packages. What happened was that I would create a package and then I would start feeling some doubts – did I really build the project before copying the files? did I copy the Release and not the Debug version? did I sign the file? And then people started using my packages and started asking (among other things) for a version that would work on other versions…

Retrieving state in a FirstChanceException in .NET — Network Programming in .NET

If you’re using a application-wide FirstChanceException handler, this is great for covering lots of bases at once, it helps make sure that you can catch (and record) an exception even if it happens with a bit of code you didn’t expect. However, the scope of the handler is what it is, so accessing state, and […]

Blazor WebAssembly Rest Client

ChristianFindlay.com

Blazor is Microsoft’s latest Single Page Application (SPA) framework, which is C# based and renders to the browser HTML DOM. Blazor comes in two flavors: server-side and client-side rendering. This article focuses on client-side rendering and explains how to use RestClient.Net to make calls to a RESTful API. Blazor WebAssembly uses C# compiled for WebAssembly (Wasm).

Blazor lets you build interactive web UIs using C# instead of JavaScript. Blazor apps are composed of reusable web UI components implemented using C#, HTML, and CSS. Both client and server code is written in C#, allowing you to share code and libraries.

If you haven’t heard of Blazor yet, now would be a good time to start doing some research. Front-end development has been primarily dominated by JavaScript and related technologies like TypeScript for a long time. C# developers often need to switch between JavaScript and C#, even though working in a…

The Most Easy to Use ViewModeBase

This is something I wrote for an application I’m developing. This is an implementation of INotifyPropertyChanged that requires no backing fields, just call Set(value) or Get(). Internally it uses a dictionary to store the state and even reuses ChangedEventArgs

The source code can be found at:

Here is the extract from the ViewModel class that does all the heavy lifting:

It’s here! Trackable Entities for EF Core!

Tony Sneed's Blog

The idea behind my open source Trackable Entities project is quite simple: track changes to an object graph as you update, add and remove items, then send those changes to a back end service where they can be saved in a single transaction.  It’s an important thing to be able to do, because it’s difficult to wrap multiple round trips in a single transaction without holding locks for a long time.  On the other hand, you could break up related operations into multiple transactions, but then you lose the benefit of atomicity, which enables you to roll back all the changes in a transaction should one of them fail.

To get started with Trackable Entities for Entity Framework Core, download the NuGet package and check out the project repository.  You can also clone the sample applications and follow the instructions.
