System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient is not recommended anymore; what is the alternative?
For years, I have been using System.Net.Mail namespace to send email from my ASP.Net applications. Recently one of my friend asked my assistance in troubleshooting the email delivery issues from a newly deployed application. It was interesting that the same deployed code was sending email with the same configuration settings. However, I noticed, the test environment is Windows and the Production is Ubuntu. I wanted to understand is there any difference, do we need to add any extra parameters when using Linux, So I went into the SmtpClient documentation, that was used by the developer to send the Email.

Taking Your ASP.NET Core 7 Localization to the Next Level: Localizing Layout
This post is a continuation of my previous post, Globalization & Localization in ASP.Net Core 7, (https://weblogs.asp.net/sreejukg/globalization-localization-in-asp-net-core-7), where I explained the importance of Globalization and Localization and how to apply them to your Razor Pages. However, the previous post only covered localizing Razor Pages and did not discuss localizing the layout files of an ASP.Net Core Razor Pages application. In this post, we will be exploring how to localize the text in the layout files, so I encourage you to read the previous post to gain a better understanding of the localization topics covered in this post.

Distributed Cache with SQL Server in ASP.Net Core application
Performance is a key factor for any application, especially for web & mobile applications. Based on various research studies, it has been identified that high performing sites retain users than low performing sites. This means a poor performing site will have impact on the company’s business goals. So, Developers, be aware to make sure your applications are designed for faster response times.
One of the aspects that affect the performance of an application is Caching. With caching, you store the frequently accessed data and store in some temporary storage, As a developer, you should carefully consider the various caching mechanisms and implement them in your applications.
Caching in ASP.Net Application
ASP.Net supports both In-Memory Cache and Distributed Cache. Let me illustrate the basic differences.
In-Memory Cache
In-Memory Cache, your application uses Server memory to store the cached data. This works perfectly if you have only one server. In today’s world, where you use cloud services and automatically scale your applications, all your servers need to access the cached data from a single source, and In-Memory cache will not help you here,
Distributed Cache
In distributed cache, the cached data is stored and shared across all servers. ASP.Net supports several types of distributed cache implementations such as SQL Server, Redis, NCache etc.
In this article, I am going to demonstrate how to implement distributed cache with SQL Server. For the purpose of this demo, I created a .Net application using the template “ASP.Net Core Web App”. The screenshot of the app in solution explorer is given below.
