This post shows you how to develop with efficiency to let the hosting webapp auto recompile upon saving changes to your Razor Class Library in .NET Core 3.0.

Today is the first day of .NET Conf 2019, a slew of videos are coming out to introduce new and exciting technologies in the world of .NET. I watched some of them and I'm really excited about the improvements in Asp.net Core and C#. Here are a couple of interesting things I learned today.

HTTPS has become a basic requirement for a website, I want to show I added a free SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt to my website running on Azure App Service.

Preview3 brings an architecture that allows you to extend Fanray by creating Plugins, Widgets and Themes in a clean and maintainable way. This new extensibility will keep the system core from being bloated and let others build their own features and applications easily.

I’m releasing preview 2 today. For details please refer to preview2 milestone. Here I list some notable changes.

This preview incorporates what I worked on for the past few months, fixes, improvements but mostly a brand new widget system. Widgets provide a way for theme designers to optionally define regions (widget areas) on their theme for end users to drag and drop pieces of UI (widgets) onto these areas to customize their site.

If you develop with ASP.NET Core 2.0 or later and you are using TempData, you may run into a 400 error saying your request headers is too long. I've recently encountered this while writing a blog post, it happens when I try to preview the post.

ASP.NET Core 2.2 recently came out and the one thing that caught my attention was the new IIS InProcess Hosting Model. I saw the demo during this week's Community Standup and couldn't help but agree that this could be a big help to development efficiency. As web developers we all do build solution and refresh browsers a lot and any improvement to shorten the time between making a change and seeing that change is welcoming.

I released Fanray v2.0-a4, building on v2.0-a3 released from two weeks ago. Now you can drag and drop images directly in Composer and they will be uploaded and inserted in the editor.

I released Fanray v2.0-a3, building on v2.0-a2 released from two weeks ago. Thanks to CKEditor5's latest release, now we can embed in our posts YouTube and Vimeo videos.
