Microsoft IT Consultant, Omnics Ltd. Tech Director at Matchnet Ltd. Programmer at heart. Bit of a thing for #AzureFunctions and #dotnet. #CSharp is my home, but dabble in #Python, #JavaScript (and management). Loving #Pulumi too.
bitbonk@nblumhardt Look, #JetBrainsRider learned a new #OpenTelemetry trick and it works pretty well with #SeriLog
I wish there would be a similar @seq plugin for Rider that would just spin up a local dev Seq instance for me and sow the logs directly in the IDE.
Jeremy D. MillerHey, I thing we need to ask for some help w/ the forthcoming CritterWatch. Right now we need to have more sample applications that do some messaging. Does anyone have any suggestions for some example repositories out that there show microservices (or any services) communicating via async messaging? Doesn't have to be .NET, certainly doesn't need to be Wolverine. Just looking for problem domains and samples so I don't have to make up anything:-)
Dad JokesI'm a couple of episodes in on #Ironheart on #DisneyPlus and loving it. Dominique Thorne is great. I'm sure there are some die hard Marvel fans finding something to complain about, but I couldn't give a hoot.
TIL: "e.g." is not "exempli gratis", which I was translating as "free example", but "exempli gratia" which I am gathering is something more like "a good-will example". Health warning: I studied Latin for 6 weeks for half an hour a week. I remember nothing of it..
Khalid K-1000 🤖Hey #dotnet folks, if you're running in a cloud environment, be careful upgrading to the latest version of .NET 8.0.17 before double-checking your forward headers configuration and proxy settings. You may have a misconfigured app, but it's been working up to now.
Boost to let others know. Cheers.
I see there are various similar proposals, including the catch lambda. They're not exactly the same (see https://github.com/dotnet/csharplang/discussions/9293 and linked issues), but the criticism seems to be to do with nested try..catch considerations. Not sure if my proposal gets around that. I'll need to dig deeper. I feel like disallowing any more `try` keywords in the same method ought to resolve any issues, but I understand this might feel a bit hacky.
In #csharp #dotnet we now have the `using` declaration:
`using var connection = new SqlConnection(...);`
This stops us having to surround large blocks of code with a `using` statement block. I'd like to see something similar for `try...catch` . Maybe simply:
`try;`
`// Code that might throw, then at the end of the method...`
`catch (Exception e)`
`{`
` // handling code`
`}`
One advantage would be less indentation, but another might be ability to access variable from the statements after the `try` declaration but before the `catch`. Currently a common pattern is declaring a variable before the `try` block. If there are issues with variable scope, the compiler could capture in the same way a lambda would. Indeed, maybe the `catch` could be a declaration too:
`catch (Exception e) => { /* handling code */ };`
and we'd get the capture for free.
