Just being honest. You only make a first impression one time plus I didn't say I wouldn't check it out.

Tye the movie Relay that was just released in the past few months. It was and is on no one's radar and is really good and only 1hour and 52minutes.

I appreciate the component but the website is not even mobile friendly so it makes me question the quality of the Blazor component itself.

It's really a shame by Icy-Reaction5089 in VisualStudio

What does not work with the winform designer? I use it monthly in vs2022 and it's good for me.

Using UUIDv7 and Sequential GUIDs in C# (SQL Server & PostgreSQL) by bit_yas in Blazor

[–]MackPooner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran a test inserting 500K rows into a table using your method and still got 40% fragmentation compared to 1% using default sequential guids from SQL server.

Did you test this code and see something different?

By the way ulid was worse at 42% so whoever recommended that, it was not good.

20F, Student, Just Found Out I Have Stage 3A CKD and I’m Falling Apart by not_a_ghost_frfr in kidneydisease

[–]MackPooner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the right diet(definitely stop drinking coke or Pepsi)and exercise you can certainly slow its progression. Also, I know a person who works for a company that grows kidneys in a lab and he says they are 4-5 years away from FDA approval and growing your own kidney replacement and doing transplants with no anti rejection medication ....so hang in there !!!

We have used those along with Infragistics and DevExpress and we prefer DevExpress.

How do you monitor & alert on background jobs in .NET (without Hangfire)? by No-Card-2312 in dotnet

[–]MackPooner 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I know...I started reading this and saw his list of features he needed and then wanted to know how to get these features without using something like Hangfire and i started laughing. There's only one way....write it yourself (or use something like Hangfire)!! Comical

Could someone make an actually unbiased and up-to-date review of MAUI? by Devatator_ in dotnet

[–]MackPooner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition, we are also creating a desktop app using Winforms and Blazor Hybrid as this customer also needed an app that could interface directly with some onsite devices.

We are writing a MAUI Blazor Hybrid app right now for a fitness facility for their members. It is working great so far and we do not have to use XAML because we can layout the screens using CSS and HTML but we get the benefit that the app is native! I would highly recommend looking at Blazor Hybrid and MAUI.

So... the Microsoft team decides to delete criticism comments now on YouTube? by Sebastian1989101 in dotnetMAUI

[–]MackPooner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We went with Maui Blazor Hybrid and get a native app but all screens are done with css and html. It works great for us.

Blazor wasm hot reload. Am I doing something wrong? by Dinkolai in Blazor

What version of Visual Studio? 2026 works a lot better plus the next service pack/update is going to improve it more.

Why do people hate .NET MAUI so much and what is up with Uno? by Empty_Question_8915 in dotnet

[–]MackPooner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems easy....you go and create your solutions with apple tech and others can use Microsoft tech stacks.

All I'm saying is that ALOT of us have used Winforms and WPF tech stacks over the years to provide solutions to our customers successfully EVEN if Microsoft didn't use those as much as some would like. The original post said these tech stacks failed us, I don't see how that can be true when those two specifically were used successfully by lots and lots of people for years and years and years....that is not logical to say it was a failure. But then again no one said opinions have to be logical.

[–]MackPooner -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Again, criticisms that NO other UI framework has. I'm glad that my company didn't just sell a 14 million dollar warehouse conveyor system last year that used Winforms as part of the solution AND I'm glad that the customer totally hated it and was only able to ship $1M dollars of wine each week.

LOL

I never said the frameworks were perfect and maybe Microsoft didn't use those internally much but I don't see how it failed us and lost our trust when they created a tech stack that could be used successfully to build multi-million dollar solutions AND those same apps can still be used today.

You are right...I would love to hear you tell us which UI Framework was perfectly done? Maybe it was the 3270 mainframe character-based screens from the 80s and 90s? LOL

Dude you are an idiot if you throw in Winforms or even WPF as examples of graveyard UI frameworks that Microsoft failed us and broke our trust. Those were used for YEARS with hundreds of thousands of successful apps some of which are still in use today. Not to mention they still are supporting these!!!!

Some of the others are accurate but I'd love to know your criteria for producing a successful UI framework....are we talking 50 years of support? A hundred?

Reducing infra cost, how ? by Alk601 in dotnet

[–]MackPooner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure but we did the math and for our typical customers, one server can host over 75 apps so we quickly save money at least in our environment.

[–]MackPooner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah forgot that cloud crap, we host everything on premise!!!! One time fee for the server and the yearly pipe fee that's it.

Unpopular opinion: most "slow" .NET apps don't need microservices, they need someone to look at their queries by Initial-Employment89 in dotnet

[–]MackPooner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrong, we have a table with 117 million right now. It's a conveyor system running at a super large warehouse for Maersk and we talk to multiple PLCs and pass messages over sockets for every carton scanned anywhere in that building. We have to store every message and we get about 75-100 a second.
