This post is about running background tasks in ASP.NET Core. In .NET Core 2.1, Microsoft introduced a new feature called IHostedService to allow developers to run a background service that can have a managed lifetime to its caller, be it from an ASP.NET Core or a console.by mirceateodor.oprea@gmail.com, 2019-01-13T14:54:08.853Z

Anyone who worked on a big enterprise project knows memory leaks are like rats in a big hotel. You might not notice when there are few of them, but you always have to be on guard in case they overpopulate, break into the kitchen, and poop on everything.by bill-s, 2019-01-15T09:06:41.395Z
Hosted Services in the .NET Core world mean background tasks in everyday developer terms. If you’re living in the C# world, and even the Azure world, you actually already have a couple of options for doing background style tasks. Problems that you can solve using Hosted Services are probably similar to the problems you currently solve using Windows Services or Azure WebJobs. So first, let’s take a look at some comparisons.by julias, 2019-01-15T08:18:42.795Z
While Entity Framework support is already a quite common feature of different data provider products, support for Entity Framework Core is not yet as widely available. Especially if it concerns Entity Framework Core on .NET Core. Today I will tell you about an ADO.NET provider for Oracle that provides such features.by bill-s, 2019-01-15T07:05:23.400Z
Let’s Encrypt had a great year in 2018. We’re now serving more than 150 million websites while maintaining a stellar security and compliance track record. Most importantly though, the Web went from 67% encrypted page loads to 77% in 2018, according to statistics from Mozilla. This is an incredible rate of change!by bill-s, 2019-01-15T06:16:29.300Z
Authentication and Authorization are two terms you would often come across when reading about the security of web applications. While the former is used to validate a user’s credentials, the latter is used to grant access to one or more resources of the application to a user. There are two ways in which you can implement authorization in ASP.NET Core. These include role-based authorization and policy-based authorization. Role-based authorization has been in use from the previous versions of ASP.NET. Policy-based authorization has been newly introduced in ASP.NET Core and provides a rich, expressive and reusable authorization model to secure applications developed in ASP.NET Core. This article presents a discussion on how you can work with policy-based authorization in ASP.NET Core.by bill-s, 2019-01-15T06:47:50.051Z
Sometimes you need to perform one-off initialisation logic before your app starts up properly. For example, you might want to validate your configuration is correct, populate a cache, or run database migrations. In this post, I look at the options available and show some simple methods and extension points that I think solve the problem well. I start by describing the built-in solution to running synchronous tasks with IStartupFilter. I then walk through the various options for running asynchrnous tasks. You could (but possibly shouldn't) use IStartupFilter or IApplicationLifetime events to run asynchronous tasks. You could use the IHostedService interface to run one-off tasks without blocking app startup. However the only real solution is to run the tasks manually in program.cs. In my next post I'll show a suggested proposal that makes this process a little easier.by bill-s, 2019-01-12T07:53:42.815Z

TypeScript 2.8 introduced conditional types, a powerful and exciting addition to the type system. Conditional types let us express non-uniform type mappings, that is, type transformations that differ depending on a condition.
