EF Core adds DB Seeding back with some gotchas
Looking back down the latest with EF core (in my case 2.1.4), I notice some gotchas when it comes to Data Seeding…. So basically when you involve your migrations with using .HasData it’s understood that you must provide a initial value for all columns that are keys. **Side note: this comes from the EF Core team that they want to maintain consistency across multiple migrations.

With this requirement in mind, this brings up some problems with seeding. In particular with data classes that have…

Some interesting new editor tricks with the latest VS 2017: Improving your productivity in the Visual Studio Editor The official source of product insight from the Visual Studio Engineering Team blogs.msdn.microsoft.com Some of these, I’m not 100% sure I would need to use on a regular bases… But one of certain interest to me is editing on the ragged column. So what do I mean by that? Basically there are few editors (text, code, etc) and allow one to mark the beginning and ending columns across many rows in a body of text.

Visual Studio 2012
Where do I begin when your aging development environment starts to…. well… eat itself. To be completely transparent, I’m not a big fan of using old dev environments to try to get production ready code up and running. Normally it’s not an issue, really. But, when one has folks mucking about with the domain and changing things that affect one’s working environment, there’s where the trouble starts. My VS 2012 environment started to act up last week, and at some point I simply had to terminate VS. Ya, not the best way to go about matters, but what can one do? The trouble started not in killing the VS process,…
