In this post, I want to focus on the implementation of server streaming and client consumption of the stream when using gRPC with .NET Core. The samples in this post are based on versions you can find in my complete demo application up on my gRPC Demos GitHub repository. As a bonus, we’ll make use […]

Using Configuration and Options in .NET Core and ASP.NET Core Apps
This week, my second Pluralsight course, “Using Configuration and Options in .NET Core and ASP.NET Core Apps” was released. This new course dives deeply into the configuration and options extension libraries provided by Microsoft. These are a foundation of modern ASP.NET Core applications and support loading of configuration from many providers and sources. They can […]

This week, .NET Core 3.0 and ASP.NET Core 3.0 launched and one of the headline features is the fact that we can now easily create gRPC server applications and clients to consume them. I’ve been playing with gRPC locally for a little while now and really enjoy the experience. I’ve created a new talk called […]
An Introduction to SequenceReader
In this post, I want to explore a new feature of .NET Core 3.0, which simplifies working with a ReadOnlySequence. You may find yourself using a ReadOnlySequence if you work with a PipeReader from System.IO.Pipelines. Before .NET Core 3.0, one would need to manually slice through the ReadOnlySequence from the Buffer property on the ReadResult. […]
