Started a discussion for a new #csharp language feature: primary enum definition.

Basically being able to write similar to classes, structs and records:
public enum Fruit(Banana, Apple);

Yay or nay?

While looking at the spec of enums for a language proposal I want to make I encountered a very strange thing that I never encountered in 13 years of professional development with C#.

At least I haven't seen the need before to assign one enum value to another.

So let's assume the following enum:

Pro .NET Memory Management

New day, so on to the next step in finishing my .NET Aspire setup!

So that I can show the distributed capabilities of FusionCache I also need a Redis instance up and running.

From a quick glance at the docs this seems again fairly easy:
learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet...

It has been a long time since I tried to continue my journey to my fusion cache presentation. Maybe I'll get to finish the Aspire setup until my son awakes from his lunch break 😴

What's still left is running 2 replicas of my API and adding Redis to the mix. So lets get going!

Azure Data Studio is dead so I'm trying to use VS Code now as my main since I use that anyway already for coding SPs and Table definitions.

Does anyone know of a extension that lets me color highlight the active connection per tab? Or is that supported by the SQL Server extension even?

Any seasoned Roslyn Source Generator writers out there that I can ask the question: are you writing them as plain strings, via StringBuilder, StringBuilder with IndentedTextWriter or do you use the SyntaxFactory?

Being a software dev in 2025 is wild.

For a .NET lib I'm working on I have a lot of boiler plate code to write. So I figured a Roslyn Source Generator would be a nice way around that. But the caveat: apart from reading a little about them I've never had to write one.

So ChatGPT, can you help me?

I'm starting an adventure.

Actually I want to make a FusionCache presentation at my company. And for that I want to build a small CRUD API with a DataBase behind it.

I guess there'll not be a better chance for an intro to .NET Aspire than this so let's do it!

Late to the party but so awesome that System.Text.Json supports polymorphic de-/serialization since .NET 7 via the JsonDerivedType attribute.

Creating code like this that just works is so simple, yet elegant.

Currently toying around with an idea for a small .NET library that makes working with the TryGet pattern easier/more comfy.

So far I'm pretty happy with the usage and early benchmarks seem to suggest it even has a potential perf perk 🚀

Hey @moke.me!
Is it somewhere documented how one could get on your All things .NET feed? It seems like that's currently the most used/liked .NET feed so it would be great if the rules are transparent.
