Dotnet 6 API with a HttpDelete and that 405 Method not allowed error
As we can tell from the title of the Post, we are going to talk about figuring out why in a client app one gets a Http Status code of 405 (Method Not Allowed). When does this happen? Usually when a http request does a http PUT or DELETE. Yet, when one uses Swagger (openAPI) or Postman to directly call the same API Delete or Put, it works! This is starting to feel like a CORS issue, right? Read On ==> So 405! Indeed looking at the surface of what is going on, one thinks Ah! CORS is at it again! Absolutely, this is what it feels like. After all,…

Blazor with dotnet watch run in the Pre-Dotnet 6 and VS 2022 days
Oh, how we do wait for the release of dotnet 6 and most important VS 2022. Why? Well the promise of hot-reload without hoops to jump through. For the most part in VS 2019 16.10.4, “hot-reload” of a Blazor app is not too bad <= Circle that “not too bad”- it does actually work… mostly! Yes, I do refer to the “dotnet watch run”. It does detect changes in your Blazor files and reload the browser page… yeah, BUT it does have issues. Here comes the list…. It doesn’t detect new files added… go ahead add a new razor page while your project is in “dotnet watch run” – nope…

BCP and Clustered SQL Oh the Errors
I got a curious message concerning problems that someone from work was having issues getting a relatively simple BCP (Bulk Copy for SQL) to work. So here we go: bcp "select top 5 [Data] from [ADataBase].[dbo].[ATable] where [ProcessedTime] <= GetDate()-1 and MessageType=''SomeProduct'' order by [ProcessedTime] desc for xml raw, root(''MyexportRoot'')"' + ' QUERYOUT ""B:\BCPBatch\Data\sample.xml"" -T -c -S TheSQL\Instance'; It’s a little complicated… Basically pull data from a table in DB on a SQL Instance… and output as xml to an xml file. After spending, a few hours, getting all kinds of errors about drive not found, path not found, can’t open the file… bah bah bah. It’s like what the…

A slight issue when one wants to install SQL 2019 Dev, etc The ODBC 17 SQL Driver
On my way to getting the latest SQL Server installed on one of my Dev PC’s- I ran across the issue of getting prompt for: msoledbsql.msi What the hell… ODBC Driver 17 is what that is about. Apparently, the SQL installed is not smart enough to know that one already has ODBC 17 SQL Driver installed and runs into a major “cannot resolve” the problem. The end result is that one does not get the SQL instance installed… But after reading lots of “not really helping” blurbs from the Internet, the Solution is simple… well mostly. You have to uninstall the “Microsoft ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server” – one…

The world of Dotnet Templates
I have long been using templates for dotnet new and of course Visual Studio. So I’ve started down the road of creating my own templates… or a least trying to understand how to create these, Now creating templates for dotnet new and especially for Visual Studio has never been a simple task. But let us try. The first matter is understanding where templates live. For the most part these are based on your user for your PC. This found by using a PS command: join-path -Path $env:USERPROFILE -ChildPath .templateengine This will return C:\Users\<your user name>\.templateengine And as you guess it, there is a .templateengine directory in your users directory. What…

Backing up your WSL Distro and Copying it to another PC
In our last article we talked about Moving an install WSL Distro from it awful install folder to another drive and path. So let’s make a back up of that distro, and then install it on a different PC. Using our new favorite tool LxRunOffline let’s make back up of a distro on our PC. However, as one starts down the path of using LxRunOffline, there is a slight issue when it comes to WSL2 Distros: lxrunoffline export -n openSUSE-Leap-15-1 -f suse.tar.gz [ERROR] The action/argument “export” doesn’t support WSL2. Ok, not a huge problem… this article just got longer…. LxRunOffline export will work for WSL 1 type Distros… So let’s…

Moving your installed WSL Linux Distro
Why start this series with moving Distro’s around and not just about installing? Simple, The distro’s tend to default their install on the C: drive in the login user App Data space (don’t even get me started on over loading c:\users\<YourUserName>). So what’s the problem with c:\users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Local? where do I begin… protected? hidden? Filling up your c: drive… pick one. But the most annoying one when it comes to Windows WSL distros… the install places these in the package folder. So c:\users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Local\Packages, and it does it in a way that usually involves a GUID like naming… Get the picture? Ok, enough harping on it… Let’s get to moving things about.…

WSL Linux on Windows 10 Series of Articles
Ok it’s time to start a series on WSL. I make no apologies when I say I’m not huge Linux fan, but I’m also not lacking when it comes to understanding how to utilize this OS in my Microsoft world. First off, I’m not a newbie when it comes to matters of Linux or Unix- I spent a number of years working on HP UX with Window-X/Motif apps I had to support (so to all the Linux Trolls… yeah whatever). So why is a “Microsoft Heavy” a.k.a. Me, ScottGeek bothering with the Linux side? Simple, over the past few years with MS moving to an inclusive approach with it’s Development…
