With the release of dotMemory 2021.2 around the corner, we thought we'd give you, our loyal JetBrains customers, a sneak peek at some new and exciting features. These newest improvements will make you become a memory maestro in no time! We re-worked the allocation analysis views. Allocations grouped by methods and by call tree add more powerful filter options, and show top allocated types and b

A custom development environment can be critical to our success when developing software. As developers, we've likely spent hours, if not days, customizing our tools to behave the way we want them to. We've chosen a color scheme, have a list of recent projects, and committed time-saving shortcuts to muscle memory. At JetBrains, we understand the small details in our tools make the most significant

According to our most recent developer survey, ASP.NET Core is the most used technology the .NET ecosystem offers, with ASP.NET MVC following up in the third spot. It's not a surprise because the web is a wild and weird place, where we can all explore the limits of what's possible. (more…)

Did you know? There are over 220 billion (yes, billion!) lines of COBOL still in use today! It sounds crazy, but it's true. A substantial part of the US government on both the federal and state level use COBOL as well as finance and private industry have COBOL systems. Many .NET developers hope that .NET will someday have this legacy, but this happened in part because of the extreme expense of mai

Did you know? C# has a goto statement. It's true. But before you run out there to try this in your code, this is a great time to paraphrase the words of the honorable scientist Ian Malcolm in Jurassic Park: "Your developers were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should". Definitely stop and think if you "should" before using goto. .NET news

Perhaps you're getting bored with the same old .NET language. Why not try something like Cobra or X#? .NET news Introducing the .NET Upgrade Assistant Preview Announcing Entity Framework Core 6.0 Preview 2 Announcing .NET 6 Preview 2 Public p

Did you know? Windows used to be called Interface Manager. Interface Manager was supposed to be the name of the product, but was changed to Windows to solidify Microsoft's branding. In 1983 at Comdex, Windows was announced to the world. Naming is hard! .NET news There's not a lot of .NET news happening at the moment. But there have been a few previews released in the previous month, and an upda
