ASP.NET Core

Working with secure keys in .NET has always been a delicate balance of convenience and safety. It’s easy to add a production database connection string to your application’s configuration for quick testing, only to accidentally check it into source control. The embarrassment of such a mistake is not a fun experience to have. Luckily, with recent iterations of .NET, there is a straightforward way to store sensitive information during local development. In this post, I will introduce you to .NET User Secrets and how to use the feature to store sensitive values locally during development, sign

If you're developing ASP.NET Core applications, and are looking at building a rich client-side experience, you're in luck. We just published a new tutorial to the JetBrains .NET Guide: HTMX for ASP.NET Core Developers In this tutorial, our developer advocate Khalid Abuhakmeh introduces you to HTMX, and how to integrate it into your ASP.NET Core apps. HTMX is a JavaScript library designed to bring the fun back into building robust client-side applications. It relies on server-rendered HTML to create client-side experiences with an approachable declarative set of attributes that support

With JetBrains Rider 2021.3, you can now take advantage of Hot Reload if you are targeting .NET 6! You can make targeted changes in the IDE and apply the changes directly against a running process. Improved feedback loops are an integral part of the modern development story. Shortened times between a code change and it being reflected in our application's output can make or break our flow. Hot Reload is a simple feature to ask for, but takes a monumental effort to execute correctly. In addition to faster development loops, most implementations of Hot Reload let you maintain the state of

For many developers, the transition from ASP.​NET 4.0+ to ASP.​NET Core was a minor change. Depending on your application's complexity, you could make a couple syntax changes and be fully upgraded within a couple of days. Transitioning from one version to another is just the beginning. ASP.​NET Core brought with it a slew of new, powerful features designed to supercharge your applica

Hello everyone, The new release version of Rider is here! Let’s explore some of the most exciting features included with it. Before diving into the feature set, there is an important note. Starting with the 2021.2 release of our .NET productivity tools, including Rider, we will require .NET Framework 4.7.2 or newer installed on your machine. Learn more here. Support for ASP.​NET Core Endpoints You can also use the HTTP Client tab to create and submit requests to your application. This is useful for testing APIs.

Despite the name, endpoints are generally where ASP.NET Core development starts for many developers. Endpoints handle incoming requests and provide appropriate responses to clients. While the concept of endpoints has existed since the inception of web development, it was only recently formalized into ASP.NET Core 3.1. Developers can implement endpoints as Razor Pages, ASP.NET Core MVC controllers, or using the newly available Map methods in ASP.NET Core. However, as our application domain grows, it can become cumbersome to discover endpoints. Additionally, an application may depend on exte

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…)

ReSharper 2021.1, our first release of the year, has arrived! It doesn’t have a specific theme or goal, and we've focused instead on simply making improvements that would improve your experience. But we also can’t help adding things here and there. Code analysis has benefitted from a variety of improvements: we’re tying up the loose ends on C# 9.0 and upgrading the engine in general. We’ve added support for ASP.NET route templates and spruced up the unit testing. And there’s even a new refactoring! Let’s get into the details. ReSharper Code Analysis We’ve significantly improved support for

Hello everyone, We’ve just released Rider 2021.1. Let’s see what’s inside. Update to Docker Support Adding Docker support to a project in Rider is now easier – you can generate the Dockerfile while creating a new project. Just select Docker Support in the New project dialog. If you want to add a Dockerfile to an existing project, use Add | Docker Support in the context menu for a project in the Solution Explorer tool window. Rider can also run Dockerfiles generated by Visual Studio with no additional changes required from you. Scaffolding for ASP.NET There’s good news for developers who work
