In Part 2 of my series on creating Angular templates for Visual Studio 2017, I made a relatively serviceable template for my latest Angular test. But, I knew it could improved.

A while back, I started looking at ways to port EF6 code, that uses a lot of the API hooks and such, to Entity Framework Core. Over the past week, I managed to port a large scale application that was using EF6 to utilize EF Core. Here are some observations/tips in continuing with my Dotnet Core porting.

I spent the better part of my development time this weekend porting various code from the .NET “full” framework to .NET Core. This included porting EntityFramework 6.1.3 code to EntityFramework Core 1.1.1. It was about as big of a pain as you would expect.

The latest tooling in Visual Studio 2017 for .NET Core is pretty good. However, it seemed like built-in templates are a bit lacking. Fortunately, the dotnet sdk, and subsequently the CLI, have libraries available for various Single Page Application framework quick starts.

Using Web.Config (or App.Config) XML files to store and retrieve settings for an application, imho, has always been a bit of a pain. Unless we write quite a bit of custom code, all we really get is a property bag of stings for our custom (user) configurations.

In most of my projects over the past two years, I’ve used Log4Net for my logging needs. Log4Net does not work, currently, with .NET Core. However, it’s pretty easy to take advantage of the new built-in logging features to wrap the Log4Net database schema using Entity Framework.

Using the .NET Core Middleware for request processing is, imho, not very well documented. There are a couple of things that are not obvious: retrieving query parameters and binding a request body to an object. To top things off, accessing the request Body has a few issues. Here’s how to deal with these scenarios.

Over the past year and a few months, we, my coworkers and I that is, have been using an Actor Model framework to implement a sort-of state-engine-based distributing computing engine. Using a generalized framework for this seemed to introduce many complexities that, in my mind, could potentially be simplified. My weekend project is centered around exploring what can be done out-of-the-box with .NET Core.
