Fix: PlatformNotSupportedException: Operation is not supported on this platform in Native AOT

Native AOT strips the JIT and the interpreter, so reflection emit, expression-tree compilation, and unseen MakeGenericType throw at runtime. Find the call via IL3050 and replace it with a source generator or a pre-baked path.

Fix: Unable to resolve service for type 'X' while attempting to activate 'Y'

ASP.NET Core throws this when a constructor asks for a type that was never registered, was registered on the wrong container, or was added after the host was built. Three concrete fixes cover almost every case.

How to Pipe Cursor's Context to an Aider Session for Multi-Agent Refactors

Cursor is the best place to plan a refactor. Aider is the best place to execute it from a terminal with cheap models and atomic git commits. This guide shows the exact pipe: dump the Cursor chat to markdown, hand it to Aider as a read-only context file, and run an architect/editor split that finishes the work.

Fix: TaskCanceledException: A task was canceled in HttpClient

HttpClient throws TaskCanceledException for three different reasons: timeout, caller cancellation, or a connection-level abort. Tell them apart with InnerException and CancellationToken.IsCancellationRequested, then fix the right one.

Copilot Studio's .NET 10 WebAssembly upgrade: 20% cold path, 5% warm

Fix: The JSON value could not be converted to System.DateTime

System.Text.Json only accepts ISO 8601 strings for DateTime. Send 2026-05-08T14:00:00Z or register a JsonConverter that parses your format. Empty strings and Unix timestamps both throw.

How to Write a Claude Code Subagent That Runs Browser Tests

Build a project-scoped Claude Code subagent that drives Playwright in a real browser, scoped to its own MCP server so the main session never sees the 25 browser_* tools. Covers the .claude/agents/browser-tester.md frontmatter, mcpServers inline definition, allowed tool list, isolation: worktree, the Playwright Test Agents init flow, and the Sonnet-vs-Haiku model choice.

Microsoft Agent Framework workflows now survive process restarts via the Durable Task stack

Wrap an Agent Framework Workflow in Microsoft.Agents.AI.DurableTask and each executor step is checkpointed. Crash, redeploy, restart - the run continues where it stopped.

Fix: The instance of entity type cannot be tracked because another instance with the same key value is already being tracked

EF Core 11 throws when two objects share a primary key inside one DbContext. Detach the old one or update it in place. AsNoTracking on the read prevents the collision.

2026-05-07 errors csharp dotnet

Fix: A second operation was started on this context instance before a previous operation completed

EF Core throws when two awaits run in parallel on the same DbContext. Await each call sequentially, or get a new DbContext per concurrent unit of work via IDbContextFactory.
