In this post, we will see what Mapperly is and why we should consider it instead of AutoMapper, now that AutoMapper is no longer completely free.But first of all, what is Mapperly?“Mapperly is a .NET source generator for generating object mapping code. It generates the mapping code at compile time, without using reflection, resulting in… Read More: C# – Mapperly »
In a previous post, we saw how to create and manage a SQLite database using C# with System.Data.SQLite, writing the SQL statements by hand.In this post, we will build the same application, but using Entity Framework Core with a Code First approach and LINQ.The idea is simple: instead of writing SQL, we describe our model… Read More: C# – Management of a SQLite database with EF »
In this post, we will see what the Saga Pattern is, when we should use it, and how we can implement it in .NET using MassTransit. For this post, we will reuse the same setup we have used in my previuos post: C# – MassTransit.When building distributed systems, sooner or later we face this problem:… Read More: C# – MassTransit: Saga Pattern »
In this post, we will see what MassTransit is and when and how we can use it in our projects. When building modern distributed systems, one of the most critical challenges we face is reliable communication between services. While we could implement ‘message based’ communication manually, managing message serialization, retry logic, error handling, and distributed… Read More: C# – MassTransit »
In this post, we will see what Webhooks are and how we can use them in our .NET projects.Based on the post I created for SignalR, it is important to distinguish between different types of real-time communication. While SignalR handles complex, persistent connections, Webhooks solve a different problem entirely.A Webhook is not a library or… Read More: C# – Webhooks »
In this post, we will see what SignalR is and how we can use it in our .net projects.SignalR is a library for .NET developers that simplifies adding real-time web functionality to our applications.In short, it enables server-push. Instead of the client always having to initiate a request, SignalR opens a persistent, two-way connection. This… Read More: C# – SignalR »
In this post, we will see what Refit is and how we can use it in our .net projects.But first of all, what is Refit?“Refit is a REST library for .NET that turns our REST API into a live interface. Created by Paul Betts, Refit uses C# interfaces decorated with attributes to define HTTP API… Read More: C# – Refit client »
In this post, we’ll see the three main service lifetimes in .NET: Transient, Scoped, and Singleton. We’ll also touch on the concept of Dependency Injection (DI) and provide C# code examples to illustrate how each lifetime works. WHAT IS DEPENDENCY INJECTION?Dependency Injection is a design pattern that allows us to remove hard-coded dependencies and make… Read More: C# – Transient vs. Scoped vs. Singleton »
In this post, we will see what Reflection is and how use it in our programs.But first of all, what is Reflection?“Reflection is part of the System.Reflection namespace in C# that enables us to analyse assemblies and types, create instances dynamically, access properties and fields, invoke methods, and even discover custom attributes. Through reflection, we… Read More: C# – Reflection »
