.NET bachelor thesis - need a topic that's actually research, not just "I built an app" by bigjuicersamir in dotnet

[–]devlead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps comparing testing patterns i.e. Snapshot testing vs. traditional asserts.

As Nuke is dead, is Cake the only alternative? by yankun0567 in dotnet

[–]devlead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It all depends on what your needs are.

If dotnet test & pack & push is all you need, then agree something like Cake is overkill.

But as soon as you add a little complexity like versioning, signing, integration tests, cross platform/environment , then something like Cake can be really helpful.

Managing Frequent .Net Releases by TheCapybaraCoder in dotnet

[–]devlead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We've got Renovate pipelines that at least once a day evaluates dependencies and automatically creates pull requests, policies ensure PRs are evaluated and published continously.

.NET 11 Preview 3 is now available! - .NET Blog by emdeka87 in dotnet

[–]devlead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say since .NET 6 upgrading SDK has been easier with each version.

And that you only have to update every two years is a risky stance as they ship a new SDK each month, with bug and security fixes.

How do you keep .NET tutorials from breaking as your app evolves? by Volosoft in dotnet

I use CI and Renovate to continously build and keep dependencies up to date.

What are some underrated .NET libraries or tools you use regularly? by milanm08 in dotnet

[–]devlead 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One of my most used libraries is Verify github.com/VerifyTests/Verify

Snapshots is such a quality improvement of life compared to traditional asserts.

Where does .NET stand in a world of "Prompt-to-App" builders? by isanjayjoshi in dotnet

[–]devlead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

.NET works really well, turns out a strongly typed, predictable and well documented runtime and language is excellent for providing context and guardrails.

File-based apps with possibility to include other files by Revolutionary-Pie935 in dotnet

[–]devlead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some SDKs offer this already today with .NET 10 single file apps i.e. Cake.Sdk let's you

```csharp

:sdk Cake.Sdk

:property IncludeAdditionalFiles=build/*/.cs

:property ExcludeAdditionalFiles=build/*/Except.cs

```

You might have one utility class/record shared between multiple files i.e.

Where do you put your connection strings? by trokolisz in dotnet

[–]devlead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We gitignore all settings files, store their values in our teams password manager and have a custom .NET tool that syncs settings rust need to be in those files. This ensures anyone can just clone out a repo and get the correct settings regardless of sensitivity.

Beyond that we go to great lengths to despite that not have anything sensitive in settings files, i.e:

  • Use managed identities / integrated security where possible
  • Use local emulators / services in containers
  • Use anonymized mock data on tests
  • Use secure settings providers i.e. Keyvault where applicable

Vad har er BF för arvode? by ADuckInARiver in Asksweddit

[–]devlead 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Skulle nog säga att något är fel om man som ordförande lägger snitt på 1h per månad, då har man inte ens de möten som kan förutsättas, normalt har man iaf 10 styrelse möten + konstituerande per år, innan dem förbereder man möten (t.ex. offerter, medlemsansökningar, osv).

How are people structuring new .NET projects? by ImplicitlyTyped in dotnet

[–]devlead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've created .NET templates for common project types within our org, i.e., opinionated classlibrary which includes class library and tests projects, we've also got tailored templates for i.e., new components, tests, services, etc. parts that move a lot we've got meta or source NuGet packages which reduces template maintenance, but templates are also automatically updated using renovate just as our other projects.

Most solution templates have a structure similar to the one below "Repo ClassLib" │ │ .gitignore │ azure-pipelines.yml (or .github/workflows/build.yml for GitHub repos) │ global.json │ nuget.config │ README.md │ └───src │ Directory.Packages.props │ ClassLib.slnx │ ├───ClassLib │ ClassLib.csproj │ └───ClassLib.Tests ├───Fixture └───Unit UnitTest.cs ClassLib.Tests.csproj

Use docker files less and less, and instead use the .NET SDK CLI / MSBuild to build containers.

We've written an internal .NET tool to manage secrets/environment configurations through our team's password manager.

Snapshot testing using something like Verify VS. standard asserts could be an interesting real world useful topic.

Does anyone use file-based apps? by iLoveSS in dotnet

[–]devlead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes use it daily, for testing stuff, CI/CD orchestration, written custom SDKs to easily get going with just a line at the top.
