My previous post regarding Migrating a .NET Core 1.1 application to 2.0 was a good primer for some of the direction in which .NET Core 2.0 would be going. However, that post was based on the 2.0 Preview, and there are breaking changes from Preview to RTM.

Rendering (and Emailing) Embedded Razor Views with .NET Core
posted on August 15, 2017 by long2know in Core
In continuing my efforts to process emails in .NET Core, I needed a way to send styled emails with images and such. Previously, I would have manually handled this by replacing text here and there, but using Razor Views seemed like a much better alternative. Considering that the processing would be handled in my domain layer, all of the views would be generated from embedded resources in a class library.
Entity Framework Core “AsQueryable” Issue
posted on August 11, 2017 by long2know in Core, Entity Framework
Earlier, I was dinking around with some base code I wrote for EF 6.x and recently ported over to EF Core. It’s a nice bit of code that can build LINQ expressions for nearly any search/query scenario regardless of the domain models behind the scenes. It utilizes the LINQ Expression libraries and some reflection. The code works fine in EF 6.x, but I ran into a weird issue when building expressions for many-to-many relationships.
