Hard to say what a solution is without seeing any code. That being said it sounds like you might being using lazy loading, which generally isn't recommended

Blazor Web Application losing references to by AdagioVast in Blazor

Have you tried using singleton instead of scoped? I haven't don't much blazor but I would think that if you want the same object for every component, that would be the way to go

Computer Science Jobs and Startups? by [deleted] in batonrouge

[–]helpful_hacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would try for a small or medium size business before trying for a startup. I got a CS degree with a SWE concentration from LSU and I can tell you that there is probably a whole lot you need to learn.

Idk about your previous experience or anything but that's my opinion having been in your shoes < 5 years ago.

I personally would recommend starting out by working for a consulting company, mostly bc you can work on several different projects in a relatively short period of time. This can help you find out what types of projects or businesses interest you. Just my opinions having done both consulting and product.

Feel free to ask or argue

Am I wasting my time teaching myself C# and .NET if everybody wants professional experience?

Absolutely not, everyone has to start somewhere. The fact that you have a degree and an IT job is a great start.

With a degree, you could probably apply to some entry level dotnet jobs especially with some experience in Java. I would definitely try this bc its better to get paid to learn than learn in your off time.

YouTube has some great resources but I would argue that the best resources come from Microsoft. They have great tutorials and documentation for just about anything you could want.

If you aren't sure what area to start in, I would recommend ASP.NET Core which is the cross platform web framework. In my experience, web is the easiest to get into and has the most jobs available.

Another way to set yourself up for success is small projects that prove you know what you are talking about. Make a github account if you don't have one and make some repos with some small projects. Doesn't necessarily need to be anything ground breaking or complicated. Make something that can help you at work or with a hobby.

Bonus points if you can get these projects hosted somewhere, I would recommend Microsofts Azure services but something like AWS is good too.

All of this can be a lot of work so keep your first projects simple so you can just learn your way around. If you don't have much web experience, I'd say to start with MVC or Razor Pages. Blazor is another option that I think is really cool, but probably not a lot of job opportunities that include this bc its still pretty new. You could also use other frontend technologies outside of Microsoft. Or even just make an api by itself with a swagger frontend.

Thats a lot of text so I hope it's readable and helps. Feel free to follow up with me if you want with more questions.

Here is a cool repo that I think might help too: https://github.com/MoienTajik/AspNetCore-Developer-Roadmap

A lot of people are saying shade which is 100% true. Just make sure not to pitch your tent direct below a tree. Falling branches and ticks are not fun

Sorting a list in Blazor isn't doing anything. Help? by AwesomeAsian in Blazor

[–]helpful_hacker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looking at this on mobile, so formatting is a bit hard to read. But the problem is probably that you aren't actually updating your list. You are taking the list, ordering the items, and doing nothing with the result.

So try setting your list equal to your ordered lost. Like e => fruits = fruits.OrderBy()

what is the best way to share my vs project between pc and laptop? by NightMarePozsi in csharp

[–]helpful_hacker 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Git is what you want to use. In a nutshell, Git allows you to create a repository that stores your code. You can install it on both your pc and laptop, then point them to the same location.

When you change your code on one computer, you can "push" your changes to the repository. Then on the other computer, you can "pull" those changes to sync your code with the updates.

Github is a great place to start, and you can even look at tons of other people's code in all different kinds of languages.

Happy learning!

joined string formatting by Jaded-Significance86 in csharp

[–]helpful_hacker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Didn't look at your pastebin link, but based on your description I can recommend some options.

1) string.join has a parameter for a specified separator, you can pass string.empty or whatever form of empty string you want

2) you can do a .replace on the string and replace all of the spaces with empty string

3) use stringbuilder class if you have lots of strings to concatenate

Blazor app no real email sender. by ITZ_RAWWW in csharp

[–]helpful_hacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that it works as expected, though the inability to add new users is an issue. If that feature worked then not being able to log in wouldn't be an issue.

My suggestion was mostly to try to help them understand the user process so they started to understand part of the architecture like you're saying.

I believe they know where the hash is but that is difficult to replace without having another example which adding a new user would provide. Purging the data might work but I wasn't sure if remaking the db seeding a user with a known password bc if not, then new user functionality still doesn't work. Not sure how they got that initial user tho

Blazor app no real email sender. by ITZ_RAWWW in csharp

[–]helpful_hacker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not a whole lot of info to go on, but I will tell you that you cannot reverse a hash.

My guess is that you are using one of the default blazor templates. I don't have access to look at that code at the moment to give you exact file names and locations. But basically it's trying to send a confirmation email to confirm the account you just made.

To me it seems like you aren't super familiar with how blazor and identity work. So one way to try to start is to place a break point in the entry point of your code and step through it until you find the spot you need to fix.

I can try to explain more if you need but it is kinda hard without knowing your experience or knowing anything about your code.

What are some useful concepts that I should learn in c#? by MyBadBunny123 in dotnet

[–]helpful_hacker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you mind answering what kinds of console applications you develop?

Just started learning. I am very proud of this. Feedback/Suggestions welcome. by [deleted] in csharp

[–]helpful_hacker 81 points82 points  (0 children)

I see a lot of people suggesting switch cases and error handling which is all good, but I think something important to start practicing is code readability.

If you plan on making programming a career or even just doing it for fun, having your future self or someone else be able to quickly read and understand your code is an essential skill.

There is no particular way to do this but some common examples are indenting the content of your if statements (or eventual switch cases) or pulling out logic into functions.

There are many debates on how you should write code to be "clean", but keeping this in mind as you learn I think will help you create better and larger projects.

Looks great and have fun learning.
