Hey, I'll be completely rewriting an existing WinForms app for my company, and I'm just gathering some dev opinions on this matter. Our existing business model consists of having one "core" app that is then customized through some reflections magic (i.e. adding new menu items, new entities, etc.) according to the business needs of the client. Functionality wise - the core app has pretty much every use case handled in a general way, and the customizations themselves usually handle very specific customer processes and business logic - along with ease of use and QoL features. This way of doing t ..read more

Long story short, we inherited a codebase from a consultancy which was written in dotnet 6 where they basically used .Contains() very generously even when comparing strings (instead of .Equals(). This led to some previously unknown bugs which we have now fixed. We just searched for Contains() and changed it to Equals() where ever they were using it on strings and not lists. This led me to ask this question. How do we find a particular method with a specific signature in an entire code base? Remember we can't search for string.Contains() because it's an extension method on string variable with ..read more

Hello everyone. Which ai tools do you use when writing your code? I use CodiumAI because it is free but I have never experienced copilot.

So I have multiple .NET applications that live in VS solutions (across multiple repositories) that I run simultaneously. Some of these solutions have multiple projects that need to run simultaneously on startup (fine) I'm looking for a tool that allows me to, for each solution/repository, select the relevant git branch and build/run the apps without having to open all the solutions in visual studio every time. I've messed around with batch files but it's fiddly and I want a nice tool ?? I'm struggling to believe this isn't a problem someone has already tried to solve? I figured I should ask t ..read more

Hi, I'm working on an existing project and I had to upgrade it to use .NET 8, and since .NET 8 and EF Core 8 now support TimeOnly and DateOnly I had remove these lines from the ConfigureConventions Method ``` configurationBuilder.Properties<DateOnly>() .HaveConversion<DateOnlyConverter>() .HaveColumnType("date"); configurationBuilder.Properties<TimeOnly>() .HaveConversion<TimeOnlyConverter>() .HaveColumnType("time"); ``` public sealed class DateOnlyConverter : ValueConverter<DateOnly, DateTime> { public DateOnlyConverter() : base(dateOnly => dateOnly.ToDat ..read more

I am designing an application that would send notifications of upcoming lessons for students, based on a given schedule. First there will be a service that runs every day and extracts all the subjects from a pdf and saves them into database as subjects. Example: Title: Math Day: Monday (will be saved as 1 in db to allow working with DayOfWeek enum) Time: 13:00 Faculty Group: AA-1 So my database would have a list of such subjects. Then I would have another background service that every day, say at 6 am makes a query: Give me all subjects with the current DayOfWeek. For each of them I want to s ..read more
