Program Challenge using CSV and NetMQ Part 1.
I did a recent program challenge. The requirements were not too complicated. Basically I was given a simple csv formatted file (csv, of course, being a comma delimited text file). The challenge was to take this csv and parse it into a POCO- POCO being Plain Old Class Object. I’m not sure why we need a acronym for that. POCO is just a data structure in the form of a Class Object. But I digress. Once the csv is parsed into a Class Object, I was then to make it available in a Request/Response using NetMQ. Now on the surface this might seem a lot to do. But not really.…

SSIS (SSDT) and Visual Studio 2019 Oh my
On my way to moving pass… yes! Visual Studio 2012 (VS 2010 Shell!) to VS 2019, I’ve discovered one really annoying thing. SSIS, or as we call now- SSDT projects, really is not mostly ready for Visual Studio 2019? But there is a preview extension that seems to “mostly” work. Go to the marketplace or in VS Manage Extensions and look for SQL Server Integration Services Projects – not the Reporting Server or Analysis server- those are there too, but the Integration Services. You add this extension and restart VS…. and you are almost there. 😉 Make sure you actually read the “Known Issues” section on the Overview page page for…

ASP .Net Core Razor SPA vs. MVC Taghelpers Navigation
As I mess about with deciding- do I want to do Razor SPA pages or do a full on ASP.Core MVC pages for my latest Web App? I noticed something when- Yes I put both in a solution- it comes to the ASP tag helper for navigation links… So here’s the thing. For a regular ASP.Core MVC we see tag helper navigations look like this: <a class="nav-link" asp-controller="Home" asp-action="Index">Home</span></a> Simple enough… “asp-controller” has the simple controller name, and “asp-action” the action within the controller… no problem Now consider Razor SPA or just simple razor pages: <a class="nav-link text-dark btn btn-outline-info" asp-page="/Index" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top" title="Always Takes you back Home">Home</a> Here…

The Getting started with Xamarin and matters Virtual

It’s Always the Little stuff
How many times over the years of using Visual Studio have I’ve added the two lines of code to my console apps (mostly quick simple or testing console apps): Console.WriteLine("**Press"); Console.ReadLine(); I know it’s been there since sometime in Visual Studio 2017 … Yes the setting that removes the need for those two lines of code… Tools => Options => Debugging => General… The magic check box labelled: ‘Automatically close the console when debugging stops’ The simple sweetness of that single setting! A Millionth of a Penny for every time I had to go back in put those two lines of code in my console apps… I humbly submit this as…

.Net Core ASP Tag Helpers
I has to be one of the most useful things added… You got Tag Helps… Consider the simplest example… <img src="/images/somePng.png" /> Not hard and very common. But consider the task of versioning your images for a web page… Enter Tag Helpers <img src="/images/somePng.png" asp-append-version = "true"/> This gives us a Hash version appended, so if an image changes? Indeed yes the hash value changes and this will trigger a cached page to update the image. Wow, Tag Helpers… very handy. ScottGeek
