How to instantiate your DbContext outside your Data project?

When you’re in your .NET Core project, it’s always easy: you just register your DbContext in ConfigureServices, and then inject it into whichever Page, View or Controller you might need it in. However, when you have another project or solution you’re working on and you’d still like to use the same DbContext and your entity classes in it, you have to find another way to do it! What should we do, then? Description Let’s first take a look at the use cases and tech stack.…Continue reading How to instantiate your DbContext outside your Data project?

How to fix “The type or namespace name ‘Services’ does not exist in the namespace ‘Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components’ (are you missing an assembly reference?)”

Just resolved a random issue that’s difficult enough to google, that I think it’s worth documenting! These seem to be popping up whenever you work with anything that’s fairly fresh out of oven… This particular case revolves around Visual Studio being incredibly obnoxious, and starting to throw a ton of errors on code that worked five minutes prior. In my case, the error happened after updates to Visual Studio. Always fun. Symptoms The errors started popping up in Visual Studio. Basically, I just started getting…Continue reading How to fix “The type or namespace name ‘Services’ does not exist in the namespace ‘Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components’ (are you missing an assembly reference?)”

How to use UriHelper or NavigationManager in .NET Core 3.0 & Blazor?

Just a quick piece of documentation, as this piece of code has changed in different versions of .NET Core 3.0 so far a few times. Need to have things like this written down somewhere! UriHelper / NavigationManager with .NET Core 3.0 Both of these helper libraries do essentially the same thing: navigate/browse/redirect the user to a different address, component, page or view in or by your web app. What you normally use this library for is exactly the same in all versions I’ve worked with,…Continue reading How to use UriHelper or NavigationManager in .NET Core 3.0 & Blazor?

A simple graphical explanation of Blazor's effect on the web development landscape.

HttpClient in Blazor

Blazor is a new (ish) framework for building web UIs with C#. It either uses SignalR to manage connections between your client-side and server-side code, or even compiles directly to WebAssembly, in both cases cutting out the need to write any pesky JavaScript yourself – pretty neat, if you ask me! However, developing your web apps with Blazor is a bit different from using ASP.NET MVC, for example. Other people have written great introductions to the tech, so I’ll stick to the problem at hand:…Continue reading HttpClient in Blazor

‘__generated__Index.OnInitAsync()’: no suitable method found to override

Welp – just ran into this one, and as I expect others to encounter the same issue, better document in right away! So in Blazor, I was crafting a simple component that’d display some data in a nice way. Being lazy and crafty, I thought I’d copy-paste some similar code from an earlier POC I had built, since I knew it worked. The component was overriding a method called “OnInitAsync”, and it just nicely fetched data after initialized. But alas, it didn’t. Not anymore. I…Continue reading ‘__generated__Index.OnInitAsync()’: no suitable method found to override

How to resolve build failing with .NET Core 3 and Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Versioning

Building a proof-of-concept on .NET Core 3.0 preview 7 I ran into issues when developing web APIs.

Go LiveNET Core 3.0 Preview 7 is supported by Microsoft and can be used in production. We strongly recommend that you test your app running on Preview 7 before deploying Preview 7 into production. If you find an issue with .NET Core 3.0, please file…Continue reading How to resolve build failing with .NET Core 3 and Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Versioning
