Starting with .NET 8, both Memory<byte[]> and ReadOnlyMemory<byte[]> are serialized as Base64 strings. Let’s look at a quick example: In contrast, Memory<int> and the likes will continue to be serialized as JSON arrays.
Starting with .NET 8 you can include non public properties in the serialization when using System.Text.Json. To do so, simply decorate the non-public property with the JsonIncludeAttribute attribute. The attribute works with any non-public modifier, such as private, protected or internal. Let’s look at an example: As expected, this will output the following:
Note: this command is only available starting with .NET 8. This command cleans up workload packs that might be left over after an .NET SDK or Visual Studio update. It can be useful when encountering issues while managing workloads. dotnet workload clean will clean up orphaned packs resulted from uninstalling .NET SDKs. The command will…
Starting with .NET 8 you can deserialize into properties which do not have a set accessor. You can opt-in for this behavior using JsonSerializerOptions, or on a per-type basis using the JsonObjectCreationHandling attribute. Using JsonObjectCreationHandling attribute You can annotate your type with the System.Text.Json.Serialization.JsonObjectCreationHandling attribute, passing your option as a parameter. Using JsonSerializerOptions You can…
By default, if you have additional properties in a JSON payload you are trying to deserialize, they are simply ignored. But what if you wanted the deserialization to fail and throw an exception when there are extra properties in the JSON? That is possible starting with .NET 8. There are several in which you can…
You are likely trying to retrieve a single column from a table in your database by passing something similar with SELECT <column_name> FROM <table_name> to an ExecuteQuery<string> or ExecuteQuery<int>. The problem with that is that ExecuteQuery<string> expects a type having a parameterless constructor – for which string does not qualify. There are two possible solutions:…
Inline arrays enable you to create an array of fixed size in a struct type. Such a struct, with an inline buffer, should provide performance comparable to an unsafe fixed size buffer. Inline arrays are mosly to be used by the runtime team and some library authors to improve performance in certain scenarios. You likely…
C# 12 introduces a new simplified syntax for creating arrays. It looks like this: It’s important to note that the array type needs to be specified explicitly, so you cannot use var for declaring the variable. Similarly, if you wanted to create a Span<int>, you can do: Multi-dimensional arrays The advantages of this terse syntax…
dotnet script enables you to run C# scripts (.CSX) from the .NET CLI. The only requirement is to have .NET 6 or newer installed on your machine. You can use the following command to install dotnet-script globally: Then to execute a script file you simply call dotnet script <file_path> like in the example below: How…
This can be fixed in two simple steps:
The most likely cause of this error is an update to Flutter (flutter upgrade) which led to some imcompatibility with your existing code or your project’s dependencies. The Theme.of(context).accentColor property has been deprecated since Flutter 1.17 and is entirely removed from the current version, thus the error your are seeing. What to use instead Or, if…
You can use the WaitForExit method to wait for the process to complete. Your code will wait synchronously for the process to finish, then it will resume execution. Let’s look at an example: The code above will start a new cmd.exe process, and execute the timeout 5 command. The process.WaitForExit() call will force your program…
