Using System.Text.Json annotated objects in Newtonsoft.Json

Make System.Text.Json.Serialization attributes work no matter how your end-users want to deserialize your .NET objects. — Over the weekend I ran into an issue where I was running unit tests and suddenly tests that worked before started failing. When I dug into it, the tests failed because the objects weren’t deserializing from JSON properly. Turns out I had upgraded some code to split support for both…

Async token requests in $.ajax calls

Making Auth0’s new SPA SDK and Kendo UI’s DataSource play nice together — This past Labor Day weekend, I’d been working on integrating some Kendo UI Grids into BurnRate. As I tweeted at the time, I had forgotten how quickly Kendo lets you get productive with complex interfaces. I was up and running in very short order. The majority of our front-end architecture…

I was wrapping up the last-minute details for the launch of Azure DevOps Buddy a few days ago, and I came across a situation where I wanted to take a string that had formatted HTML in it and write the formatted result to the view. I’m sure you’ve been in…

Upgrade Visual Studio 2019’s LocalDB to SQL 2019

If you’re like me and you always want to be on the latest and greatest, you’d be surprised that the latest and greatest version of SQL Server installed with VS2019 is two major versions behind the currently-shipping version. It’s not very difficult to upgrade manually, but there are a couple…

Switching to System.Text.Json in .NET Core 3.0? Not so fast.

One key scenario is still not covered by the new APIs. — When I heard about the new System.Text.Json APIs, I was intrigued. I’m a huge fan of Newtonsoft.Json, but the improvements in Pipes in .NET Core 2.2 meant there could be opportunity for some nice performance gains. I was really glad that Microsoft decided to do a usability study on their…

Bringing your Blazor apps to the Desktop with ElectronNET.Blazor

Harness the power of ASP.NET MVC to build Desktop apps that run on any OS. — One of the things that excites me most about the possibilities of Blazor is the potential for building apps with the speed and power of .NET and the ease of HTML, but running on any OS.

Redirects in Blazor Apps

While working on my latest Blazor creation, I needed a way to be able to mimic a Response.Redirect and navigate the user away from the page. Web searches were of very little help, so I did what any resourceful developer would do: I dug into the source code. …

Building Per-Environment Configuration in Your Webpack + TypeScript Apps

It’s no secret that Webpack has a rather extreme learning curve. Having spent nearly 20 years in the world of ASP and ASP.NET, getting my head around a compiler powered by the anything-can-be-anything world of JavaScript has been quite a challenge. In building out BurnRate, yesterday’s challenge was to complete…
