Continuing my series on porting to .NET Core, I have mostly converted a production .NET 4.5.x application to .NET Core 2.2. As I mentioned, there are lots of conversion points that are worth mentioning for anyone else endeavoring to modernize a .NET application.

Porting to .NET Core (Part 4)
posted on August 12, 2019 by long2know in ASP.NET, Core
Continuing my (old) series on porting to .NET Core, I am sharing some of my experiences of moving a production, legacy .NET 4.5.x application to .NET Core 2.2. This was a interesting endeavor since the application itself had some really deep hooks into the older WebAPI/MVC pipeline.
Ripping out those hooks is like opening the proverbial can of worms ..
More Link.NET Core Angular 7 Template

It’s been a while since my last blog post. But, I found some time over the past week to upgrade the previous .NET Core Angular template to Angular 7.
More Link.NET Core Angular 6 Template
posted on August 7, 2018 by long2know in angular, Core
Over time, code bases drift away from the latest tooling. If you recall my previous posts about Angular templates for Visual Studio, you may recall I upgraded that template to Angular 5.x. I spent a little time yesterday getting this template upgrade to the latest Angular 6.1.1.
Disabling Automatic Authentication Challenge in .NET Core 2.x
posted on June 14, 2018 by long2know in ASP.NET, Core
Earlier today, I was struggling a bit to get a .NET Core application’s authentication mechanism to behave appropriately for both MVC (view) and API (ajax/json) requests. In .NET Core 2.x, handling this is not as straight-forward as it could be, but it’s doable. Effectively, we want a user requesting a view through a normal browser request to get an authentication challenge / login page, but we want API requests to receive a 401 response and end it there. Under normal circumstances, though, both types of requests would receive the login page.
Handling Custom Exceptions with .NET Core Middleware

A while back, I blogged about integrating client/server validation. I wanted to take this same concept a bit further with custom exception handling and .NET Core Middleware to make a more reusable delivery mechanism.
.NET Core Open Generics with Factory Pattern
posted on February 28, 2018 by long2know in Core
A while back, I blogged about using open generics with .NET Core Dependency Injection. It really does work great for an out of the box experience. However, one drawback is that you can’t use a factory pattern like you can when injecting in a type-specific way.
.NET Core Console App Dependency Injection and User Secrets
posted on February 19, 2018 by long2know in ASP.NET, Core
The other day, I wanted to create a really simple console application using .NET Core 2.x. Out of the box, however, it appeared that there were a lot of compromises to a console application as compared to a Web/Kestrel hosted app. The main things that were missing were dependency injection and user secrets.
Entity Framework and the Magic of Nothing
posted on January 26, 2018 by long2know in Core, Entity Framework
Last night I was working on a project that had some many to many database relationships. On one side of the relationship, someone decided to use zero as the default “nothing selected” sort of key. This simply doesn’t work with Entity Framework, or probably most other .NET ORMs.
.NET Core Generic Repository Dependency Injection
posted on October 26, 2017 by long2know in Core
This morning I was updating some Data Models in a project, and noticed, based on my project scheme, that I would have to add a derived BaseRepository class. This is a side-effect of the way I’ve used Ninject for a long time and every IRepository<T> is specified to be a BaseRepository<T>. That pattern is a little annoying, and in some ways, is counter-intuitive when dealing with DI and generics.
