Development With A Dot

It seems I’m in the mood for Managed Extensibility Framework: second post in a week about it! This time, I’m going to talk about how we can integrate it with the .NET Core’s service provider/dependency injection (DI) library (Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection).

The concept of middleware has been around since ASP.NET MVC (pre-Core) and OWIN. Essentially, a middleware component lives in a pipeline and handles requests and acts as a chain of responsibility, delegating to any subsequent middleware components registered in the pipeline after itself. The following image (taken from the Microsoft site) shows this.

This is the second in a series of posts about performance in the .NET ecosystem. On the first post, that you can find here, I talked about object instantiation. This time, it’s object cloning.

You may not have realized that some of the patterns that you’ve been using for ages in your C# programs are based on conventions, rather than on a specific API. What I mean by this is, some constructs in C# are based on some magical methods with well-defined names which are not defined in any base class or interface, but yet just work. Let’s see what they are.

This July 1st I was again renewed as MVP for Visual Studio and Development Technologies for 2018-2019! That’s 4 in a row, I hope more will come!

Here’s a list (which I’ll try to keep updated) of my publicly available open source projects.
