Using Kestrel for ASP Core Apps
As I was looking about with some of the Core 2.2 notes, I came across some interesting notes on how to tweak about with Kestrel settings…. I’m not sure I like putting Kestrel options up the in the Main Program builder. I tend to prefer these to collect in the startup class, but I get point of why Kestrel needs to be handled close to the Builder (it is after all the html service handling web calls). Shall we begin… So up in program.cs we do our normal Web Host Builder: public class Program { public static void Main(string[] args) { var host = CreateWebHostBuilder(args).Build(); MigrateDatabase(host); host.Run(); //CreateWebHostBuilder(args).Build().Run(); } private…

Blazor and EF Core to Nowhere land.
In the long decent into “Experimental” frameworks- this one being Blazor, I’ve been finding some challenges with getting Blazor to work with the latest EF Core. There’s a few examples of Blazor being used with EF Core (i.e. the CRUD example that’s floating around the inter-Tubes), but nothing that seems to work with the latest Blazor Lang template in the latest VS release. One can go to a lower EF Core version, well mostly… I’ve yet to get my Blazor Hosted Core test app to compile…. let alone the DB-Context to Scaffold… it just spews errors no matter which direction I go in… Oh Bother…. I have to remember that…
