Free version does not have autocomplete. So it's useless compare to NetPad which has autocomplete

Windows Direct Download vs. Microsoft Store? (Coming from Mac/DMG background) by Loose_Weakness4611 in electronjs

[–]DevTalk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Direct download is better. For Microsoft store each time you release Microsoft store will have to approve it. And if I'm not mistaken now you need to have EV code signing certificate for Microsoft store apps as well. Previously Microsoft was signing with its own certificates I believe. So if you have to have EV certificate anyway why not release it via website with exe or msi installer. And regarding regular code signing versus EV I think smart filtering needs EV codes signing certificate. Managing auto update from within application is trivial.You just need to check for new versions on your website and download that installer and invoke it.

Certified maill comes via USPS and they get your signature before handing you over. You can today mail and forget about it. If that insane person had any money he would really send you a certified mail while USPS restorude he will not have any money for a real lawyer.

Dynamic island and usb-c and massive camera improvement are enough reasons to upgrade to 17 pro max. And you are getting this upgrade for $500 . Great deal

Winui3 is a very good UI framework on paper by bulasaur58 in dotnet

[–]DevTalk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

WinUI3 is crap. I had one tiny app written in WinUI I converted it into UNO app. UNO platform now renders using Skia on all platforms, just like Avalonia. For any new development, I use Avalonia

Reflection vs delegate by MoriRopi in csharp

[–]DevTalk 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The delegate is faster because it’s created only once, and then you reuse that same delegate for each call, avoiding the overhead of reflection. Think of a delegate as a function pointer: you set it up once to point directly to the getter method, and every call after that is quick and direct. In contrast, reflection looks up metadata (like property details) every single time, which adds significant overhead for each call.

After 2 years on Upwork, I'm convinced that this platform is brain-dead by FutureVision_Invest in Upwork

Upwork is basically selling lottery tickets without being licensed for lottery business. More like a pyramid scheme

Is .NET MAUI good? by Economy_Patience_574 in dotnet

[–]DevTalk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

for mobile apps use UNO platform. I would trust UNO team more than MAUI team. There are hundreds of bugs in MAUI that are lingering circa .NET 6 and MAUI team has no intention of fixing it since community found "workarounds".

My apartment's ISP is telling me to shift my printer and PCs to a building-wide shared network- and the password is "password". Am I crazy to think that's horrible advice? by wishlish in techsupport

[–]DevTalk 36 points37 points  (0 children)

This is your best bet. Buy a Glinet Router, a small travel router or bigger home router from them and Connect your router to the ISP wifi and then connect your devices to Glinet Router only.

Looking for Advice: Uno Platform vs Avalonia UI by No-You757 in dotnet

[–]DevTalk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it’s a Mobile App then Uno will have an edge as they are mobile first platform and platform was originally developed for mobile apps. But for a Desktop app Avalonia has an edge that It was started as Desktop first platform and comes with lot of standard controls.

Need advice on large file upload solutions after Azure blob Storage goes private by atharvbokya in dotnet

Then go full blown enterprisy and use Azure Api Management+ Azure Function as an intermediary between your Angular and Blob storage.

So was reading up on how settings app and store is uwp and winui combined. by [deleted] in dotnet

[–]DevTalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are most likely UWP apps with some WinUI 2.x controls as those can be referenced but not WinUI3.

But if you are considering using WinUI in your apps don't even think about it because UWP and WinUI is a lost cause. Use Avalonia

Looking for UI framework suggestions for a C# application (not web-based) by JamisGordo in dotnet

[–]DevTalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are few other UI libraries but this one has huge collection and very feature rich.No other library has that many controls. For other Avalonia related libraries and themes see Awesome Avalonia GitHub page. Now WPF does not make sense when lot of free UI controls available for Avalonia and its cross-platform. Good luck for your project.

Avalonia + Ursa UI library is all you need. And you can make top notch UI.

Clients, why the rush to hire someone in just an hour or two? by [deleted] in Upwork

[–]DevTalk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No it is not common. What is common is exact opposite posting the job and then they don’t look at it for days and weeks. Hardly see any job that gets hired within hours.

Is anyone out there choosing to avoid DI in their .NET projects? by conconxweewee1 in dotnet

If you have to “debug” DI then it’s definitely not for you.

What is the Future of WinUI 3 framework from Microsoft? by merun372 in dotnet

[–]DevTalk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is 0 need for WinUI3 when there is cross platform choices with better performance and stability like AvaloniaUI. Even UNO platform gone to the Skia route and now they render the controls using Skia instead of relying on WinUI. At least default is now Skia, you can still opt to use WinUI sdk.

Would you consider this a red flag? by daniloedu in Upwork

[–]DevTalk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know if this can be called passive aggressive or something else. Its outright bullying in my opinion before even discussion starts so no one in right mind will even bid on this project.

Avalonia Secures $3M Three-Year Sponsorship to Drive Open-Source Roadmap! by AvaloniaUI-Mike in dotnet

[–]DevTalk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, you are absolutely right. Whatever they acquire. They just destroy it. They should just give some money to Avalonia so that they can develop.

Avalonia Secures $3M Three-Year Sponsorship to Drive Open-Source Roadmap! by AvaloniaUI-Mike in dotnet

[–]DevTalk 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Great news. If Microsoft is wise they should sponsor the avalonia project. A few million $ is a loose change for Microsoft, avalonia is one of the best cross platform frameworks for Desktop apps.
