If you’ve built applications using ASP.NET Core then you’ve most likely used the built-in dependency injection container from Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection. This package provides an implementation of the corresponding abstractions found in Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.Abstractions. In the previous post, we learned about the IServiceCollection, including how service registrations are converted to ServiceDescriptors and added to the collection. We’ll continue learning about […]

ASP.NET Core Dependency Injection: What is the IServiceCollection?
If you’ve built applications using ASP.NET Core then you’ve most likely used the built-in dependency injection container from Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection. This package provides an implementation of the corresponding abstractions found in Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.Abstractions. In this post, I wanted to take a deeper look at the first concept from the Microsoft Dependency Injection (DI) container, the IServiceCollection hopefully […]
Integration Testing ASP.NET Core Applications: Best Practices
I’m excited to announce the release of my fourth course at Pluralsight – “Integration Testing ASP.NET Core Applications: Best Practices“. This latest course focuses on using the ASP.NET Core integration testing framework. Many developers will be familiar with the concepts of unit testing their applications. ASP.NET Core supports more in-depth end-to-end integration testing, with the […]

After spending an hour or so with the tooling over the weekend, my early impression is that this CLI feature might be quite useful. […]
Deep Dive: How is the ASP.NET Core Middleware Pipeline Built?
If you’ve ever used ASP.NET Core, then you’ll likely be familiar with the Startup class. This class, by convention, includes at least one method named Configure. Often, a ConfigureServices method is also included and used to register services with the Microsoft dependency injection container, but this isn’t an absolute requirement. The configure method is where […]
