Keep it secret, keep it safe with .NET

#479 – November 06, 2023

A handy pocketguide that covers everything a .NET developer needs to know about configuration and secret management.

Do you plan to start your first cross-platform app? Or do you plan to migrate your Xamarin or desktop app to .NET MAUI? You're in the right place. Learn when and how to transition to cross-platform app development.

This blog post is a small collection of questions I asked as a technical interviewer when we had candidates for software developer positions. This might be helpful for you if you are preparing for a job interview.

We recently noticed that one of the dlls that we produce had suddenly jumped up in file size. The WinUI Controls library, Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls.dll that ships as part of Windows App SDK had ballooned in size in our internal builds. It had suddenly grown from 7 MB to 10.5 MB – approximately a 50% increase in size.

In this post I look at the new TimeProvider and ITimer types added in .NET 8, describe how to use them, and show common problems they solve.

Removing fields from an object should reduce that object's size. Why am I not seeing any difference?
