How to use TensorFlow with AMD GPU's

How to use TensorFlow with AMD GPU’s Most machine learning frameworks that run with a GPU support Nvidia GPUs, but if you own a AMD GPU you are out of luck.

Make your WCF Service async

Oh my: WCF??? This might be the elephant in the room: I wouldn’t use WCF for new stuff anymore, but to keep some “legacy” stuff working it might be a good idea to modernize those services as well. WCF Service/Client compatibility WCF services had always close relationships with their clients and so it is no suprise, that most guides show how to implement async operations on the server ...

Be afraid of varchar(max) with async EF or ADO.NET

Last month we had changed our WCF APIs to async implementations, because we wanted all those glorious scalability improvements in our codebase. The implementation was quite easy, because our service layer did most of the time just some simple EntityFramework 6 queries. The field test went horribly wrong After we moved most of the code to async we did a small test and it worked quite ...

Migrate a .NET library to .NET Core / .NET Standard 2.0

I have a small spare time project called Sloader and I recently moved the code base to .NET Standard 2.0. This blogpost covers how I moved this library to .NET Standard. Uhmmm… wait… what is .NET Standard? If you have been living under a rock in the past year: .NET Standard is a kind of “contract” that allows the library to run under all .NET implementations like the full .NET Framework ...

Improving Code

Improving code TL;DR; Things I learned: long one-liners are hard to read and understand split up your code into small, easy to understand functions less “plumping” (read infrastructure code) is the better get indentation right “Make it correct, make it clear, make it concise, make it fast.

DbProviderFactories & ODP.NET: When even Oracle can be tamed

Oracle and .NET: Tales from the dark ages Each time when I tried to load data from an Oracle database it was a pretty terrible experience. I remember that I struggle to find the right Oracle driver and even when everything was installed the strange TNS ora config file popped up and nothing worked. It can be simple… 2 weeks ago I had the pleasure to load some data from a Oracle database and ...

CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo() vs. new CultureInfo() - what's the difference?

The problem The problem started with a simple code: double.TryParse("1'000", NumberStyles.Any, culture, out _) Be aware that the given culture was “DE-CH” and the Swiss use the ‘ for the separator for numbers. Unfortunately the Swiss authorities have abandoned the ‘ for currencies, but it is widly used in the industrie and such a number should be parsed or displayed. Now ...

.editorconfig: Sharing a common coding style in a team

Sharing Coding Styles & Conventions In a team it is really important to set coding conventions and to use a specific coding style, because it helps to maintain the code - a lot. Of course has each developer his own “style”, but some rules should be set, otherwise it will end in a mess. Typical examples for such rules are “Should I use var or not?” or “Are _ still OK for private fields?”. ...

Did you know that you can run ASP.NET Core 2 under the full framework?

Windows Fall Creators Update 1709 and Docker Windows Containers

Who shrunk my Windows Docker image? We started to package our ASP.NET/WCF/Full-.NET Framework based web app into Windows Containers, which we then publish to the Docker Hub. Someday we discovered that one of our new build machines produced Windows Containers only half the size: Instead of a 8GB Docker image we only got a 4GB Docker image. Yeah, right? The problem with Windows ...

WCF Global Fault Contracts

If you are still using WCF you might have stumbled upon this problem: WCF allows you to throw certain Faults in your operation, but unfortunatly it is a bit awkward to configure if you want “Global Fault Contracts”.

First steps to enable login with Microsoft or Azure AD account for your application

Introducing Electron.NET - building Electron Desktop Apps with ASP.NET Core

If you don’t know what Electron is: It helps to build desktop apps written in HTML/CSS/Javascript The idea Gregor asked me a while ago if it is possible to build desktop apps with ASP.NET ...

IdentityServer3 with WindowsAuthentication with ASP.NET WebApi & ASP.NET & WPF App

Please note: In my sample and in this blogpost I cover IdentityServer 3, because last year when I was working on the sample and our real implementation IdentityServer4 (a rewrite of IdentityServer 3) was in beta. My guess is, that most stuff should still apply even if you are using IdentityServer4, but I didn’t test it. Also: I’m not a security expert - this might be all wrong, but ...
