Wire AIFunctionFactory.Create, ChatOptions.Tools, and ChatClientBuilder.UseFunctionInvocation in Microsoft.Extensions.AI 10.5 so an IChatClient can call your .NET methods automatically. Covers OpenAI and Azure OpenAI providers, the FunctionInvokingChatClient knobs that actually matter (iteration limits, concurrent calls, approval prompts, error handling), and streaming responses with tools.

End-to-end drag-and-drop in .NET MAUI 11: DragGestureRecognizer, DropGestureRecognizer, custom DataPackage payloads, AcceptedOperation, gesture position, and the per-platform PlatformArgs traps on Android, iOS, Mac Catalyst, and Windows.

End-to-end dark mode in .NET MAUI 11: AppThemeBinding, SetAppThemeColor, RequestedTheme, UserAppTheme override with persistence, the RequestedThemeChanged event, and the per-platform Info.plist and MainActivity bits that the docs gloss over.

A complete .NET 11 setup for Tailwind CSS v4 in a Blazor WebAssembly app: standalone CLI (no Node), MSBuild target, @source directives for Razor and CSS isolation files, and a publish pipeline that survives Native AOT.

A practical guide to spotting N+1 queries in EF Core 11: what the pattern looks like in real code, how to surface it via logging, diagnostic interceptors, OpenTelemetry, and a test that fails the build when a hot path regresses.

A practical guide to EF Core 11 compiled queries: when EF.CompileAsyncQuery actually wins, the static-field pattern, the Include and tracking gotchas, and how to benchmark before and after so you can prove it was worth the extra ceremony.

Strip Android and iOS from a .NET MAUI 11 project so it ships Windows and Mac Catalyst only: the csproj edits, the workload commands, and the multi-targeting that keeps your code clean.

Take an existing Semantic Kernel plugin with [KernelFunction] methods and turn it into a Model Context Protocol server other agents can call. Covers the drop-in WithTools(kernel) bridge, the native [McpServerTool] rewrite, parameter binding, dependency injection, and the gotchas that bite during the cutover.

A complete guide to wiring Serilog 4.x and Seq 2025.2 into a .NET 11 ASP.NET Core app: AddSerilog vs UseSerilog, two-stage bootstrap logging, JSON configuration, enrichers, request logging, OpenTelemetry trace correlation, API keys, and the production gotchas around buffering, retention, and signal level.

Wire OpenTelemetry traces, metrics, and logs into a .NET 11 ASP.NET Core app with the OTLP exporter, then ship them to a free, self-hosted backend: the standalone Aspire Dashboard for local dev, Jaeger and SigNoz for self-hosted production, and the OpenTelemetry Collector when you need both.
