How to fix ERR_CONNECTION_RESET & ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID with IISExpress and SSL

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. In that order.” Wes Dyer Why should I bother? Readable code is: easier to debug fast to fix ...

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”. With this solution here it should be pretty easy to get “Global Faults”: Define the Fault on the Server Side: Let’s say we want to throw the following fault in all our ...

dnSpy - a OSS IL decompiler and debugger

My colleague was fighting against a nasty bug, that only occures on one machine.

How to convert .crt & .key files to a .pfx

If you are using Windows without the awesome Linux Subsystem, take the latest pre-compiled version for Windows from this or this site. Otherwise with Bash on Windows you can just use OpenSSL via its “native” environment. Thanks for the hint @kapsiR After the download ...

Non-cryptographic hash functions for .NET

Creating hashs is quite common to check if content X has changed without looking at the whole content of X. Git for example uses SHA1-hashs for each commit. SHA1 itself is a pretty old cryptographic hash function, but in the case of Git there might have been better alternatives available, because the “to-be-hashed” content is not crypto relevant - it’s just content marker. Well… in ...

Using Visual Studio Code & Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC)

HowTo: Get User Information & Group Memberships from Active Directory via C#

I had to find a way to access all group memberships from a given Active Directory user. The problem here is, that groups may contain other groups and I needed a list of “all” applied group memberships - directly or indirectly. The “fastest” solution (without querying each group) is to use the Token-Groups attribute, which already does this magic for us. This list should contain all ...
