.NET 11 Runtime Async Replaces State Machines with Cleaner Stack Traces

Runtime Async in .NET 11 moves async/await handling from compiler-generated state machines into the runtime itself, producing readable stack traces, correct breakpoints, and fewer heap allocations.

Fix: MAUIR0001 MissingMethodException in .NET MAUI Resizetizer on an SVG with <filter> or <text>

MAUI 10.0.101 and 10.0.110 Resizetizer ship mismatched System.Memory references, so SVGs with filters or text fail. Pin Resizetizer 10.0.100 or strip the filter and text.

Fix: .NET MAUI Entry with Keyboard.Numeric shows a small numpad, then the full keyboard, on iPadOS 26

On iPadOS 26, MAUI maps Keyboard.Numeric to UIKeyboardType.DecimalPad, which now opens as a floating mini numpad. Append a mapper that switches iPad to NumbersAndPunctuation and filter input yourself.

How to Measure an Agent's Fixed Token Overhead Before the First User Token

Every agent request pays for its system prompt, the provider's hidden tool-use preamble, and every tool schema before the user says anything. How to measure that fixed cost with differential count_tokens calls on the Anthropic API, the input_tokens endpoint on OpenAI, an MCP listTools probe, and /context in Claude Code, anchored to claude-opus-5-5, claude-sonnet-5, and @modelcontextprotocol/client 2.1.0.

Quartz.NET 4.2 Turns Bad Cron Expressions into Build Errors

Quartz.NET 4.2.0 ships a Roslyn analyzer that rejects unparseable cron literals as QZ0001 at compile time, plus a source generator that turns [QuartzJob] and [CronTrigger] attributes into an AddDeclaredJobs() registration. Here is what it checks, what the generated code looks like, and how to opt out.

AG-UI .NET SDK 1.0: AGUI.Server and AGUI.Client Move the Protocol Out of Agent Framework

The AG-UI protocol now has a standalone .NET SDK: AGUI.Server 1.0.0 streams any IChatClient as AG-UI events over SSE, and AGUIChatClient consumes an AG-UI endpoint as an IChatClient, down to .NET Framework 4.7.2. Agent Framework users get renamed APIs.

Fix: MediaPicker.CapturePhotoAsync returns a PNG instead of a JPEG in .NET MAUI 10

On iOS, MAUI 10 re-encodes camera photos as PNG whenever CompressionQuality is 90 or higher and no MaximumWidth/Height is set, which includes the default. Set CompressionQuality to 89 or lower, or add a MaximumWidth on iOS only.

How to add a unique index on a JSON-mapped property in EF Core 11 (SQL Server and SQLite)

HasIndex(...).IsUnique() on a ToJson() member does not enforce uniqueness in EF Core 11 RC 1: SQL Server drops IsUnique and SQLite indexes the whole document. Expose the JSON value as a computed column and put the unique index on that instead.

How to speed up a slow Dart analysis server in VS Code for a large Flutter monorepo

A monorepo with dozens of pubspec.yaml files makes the Dart analysis server build one analysis context per package, which is where the memory and the minute-long startup go. Convert to a pub workspace, exclude generated code in analysis_options.yaml, drop legacy analyzer plugins, and use the Insights page to prove it. Measured on Dart 3.12.2: 2.3x less peak memory and half the cold analysis time.

How to Run a Coding Agent in a Disposable VM or Container Instead of on Your Laptop

Dev containers, Docker Sandboxes microVMs, Lima VMs, and hosted cloud sandboxes all move Claude Code, Codex, or Copilot CLI off your host. What each one actually isolates, the exact commands to make it throwaway, and the two things none of them protect: your writable workspace and your git hooks.

Fix: Flutter debugger jumps into binding.dart on hot reload with no error shown

A dwds bug in Flutter 3.35 web sent a fake pause on every hot reload. Upgrade to Flutter 3.38+, or switch VS Code back to 'Debug my code' so package frames are skipped.
