EF Core 11 Preview 5 ships the EF1004 analyzer. It flags ToAsyncEnumerable() on an IQueryable so you do not accidentally enumerate a database query synchronously inside an await foreach.

.NET 11 Preview 5 adds a first-class X25519DiffieHellman type to System.Security.Cryptography, so you can do Curve25519 key exchange without BouncyCastle or NSec.

EF Core can't find a key for your type. Either name a property Id or {Type}Id, add [Key], call HasKey, or - if it is a view or raw SQL result - call HasNoKey.

.NET 11 Preview 5 adds a brand-new FullJoin operator to LINQ plus tuple-returning overloads for Join, LeftJoin, RightJoin, and GroupJoin that drop the result selector entirely.

Static server-rendered Blazor forms could only validate after a full POST round-trip. .NET 11 Preview 5 renders validation metadata so the Blazor JS enforces DataAnnotations rules in the browser, no circuit required.

EnableRetryOnFailure conflicts with BeginTransaction. Wrap the whole transaction in db.Database.CreateExecutionStrategy().ExecuteAsync(...) so it retries as one unit.

.NET 11 Preview 5 adds JsonSerializer.SerializeAsyncEnumerable with topLevelValues: true, so System.Text.Json can now stream JSONL out, not just read it.

A prerendered Blazor component runs its initialization twice and loses state at the interactive handoff. Fix it with the [PersistentState] attribute or the PersistentComponentState service in .NET 11.

Two ways to call Claude from C#: the official Anthropic .NET SDK directly, or the provider-neutral Microsoft.Extensions.AI IChatClient that wraps it. When each wins, what you lose at the abstraction boundary, and why it is not actually either/or. With claude-opus-4-8 and claude-sonnet-4-6 examples.

Swashbuckle is gone from the ASP.NET Core templates. Here is how to generate and serve an OpenAPI document in .NET 11 with the built-in Microsoft.AspNetCore.OpenApi package: AddOpenApi, MapOpenApi, transformers, multiple documents, build-time generation, and a UI on top.
