what do you find most frustrating about dotnet?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/dotnet

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • ASP.NET Core

    ASP.NET Core is a cross-platform .NET framework for building modern cloud-based web applications on Windows, Mac, or Linux.

  • But aren't we talking about using an off the shelf solution (i.e. provided by asp.net core)? It's just not easy to use compared to other frameworks.

  • Nuget Package Manager

    Repo for NuGet Client issues (by NuGet)

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • vscode-csharp

    Official C# support for Visual Studio Code

  • UnitGenerator

    C# Source Generator to create value-object, inspired by units of measure.

  • You either have to do it manually or use a code generator (there are nugets for that, for example: https://github.com/Cysharp/UnitGenerator), but you absolutely can.

  • UploadStream

    high performance file upload streaming for dotnet

  • [Route("projects/{projectId:int}/files", Name = "UploadFile")] [Consumes("multipart/form-data")] [DisableFormValueModelBinding] [RequestSizeLimit(--num - bytes--)] [RequestFormLimits(MultipartBodyLengthLimit = --num - bytes--)] public async Task < IActionResult > PostAsync([FromRoute] int projectid) { // see nuget for https://github.com/ma1f/uploadstream var model = await this.StreamFiles < MyFileItem > (async file => { // never trust the client var fileName = file.FileName.GetSafeUniqueUri();

  • FileTypeChecker

    Cross platform file type validator for .NET (by AJMitev)

  • // wrapper around something like this: https://github.com/AJMitev/FileTypeChecker var fileType = await ExtractActualFileTypeFromFileHeadersOrTrustTheMimeType(file); // stream to blob storage var blobClient = blobContainerClient.GetBlobClient(fileName); var blob = new CloudBlockBlob(blobClient.Uri); await blob.UploadFromStreamAsync(file); await blobClient.SetHttpHeadersAsync(new BlobHttpHeaders { ContentType = fileType });

  • swagger-ui

    Swagger UI is a collection of HTML, JavaScript, and CSS assets that dynamically generate beautiful documentation from a Swagger-compliant API.

  • The code below is now roughly from memory and my controller would usually look something like this (Swashbuckle or NSwag attribute hints removed). There are some gotchas with Swagger and SwaggerUI for supporting multipart/form-data which I haven't included here since they now be fixed, since it's been a while since I checked.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
