Talking Dotnet 3 Comments

Razor files (.cshtml) are compiled at both build and publish time and this gives better performance as your views are compiled. We can also enable runtime compilation, which will help developers to see any modified view change in real-time, without starting the application again. The recent version of ASP.NET Core (ASP.NET Core 5.0) Preview 2 came out and you can start building an app on ASP.NET Core 5.0 framework. ASP.NET Core 5.0 changes this experience for enabling razor runtime compilation. This is now available as an option while creating the ASP.NET Core 5.0 project. It’s a tiny enhancement, but good to know. Read More

A self-contained app is a great way to share your application as all components, runtime, and framework are included with the application. All you have to provide is the application .exe file without worrying about the presence of framework or runtime installation status on other machines. .NET Core 3.0 Preview 6 is out and there are a lot more new features. One of the useful feature is the introduction of PublishTrimmed flag. This flag reduces the size of the executable to a great extent and create a trimmed self-contained single executable in .NET Core 3.0.
