2026-05-14 errors csharp dotnet

Fix: A possible object cycle was detected

System.Text.Json refuses to serialize graphs with back-references. Set ReferenceHandler.IgnoreCycles, project to a DTO, or mark the back-pointer with [JsonIgnore]. Preserve is a last resort.

2026-05-14 errors csharp dotnet

Fix: SqlException: Timeout expired during EF Core migrations

Migrations use the design-time DbContext, not your runtime CommandTimeout. Set the timeout via UseSqlServer(o => o.CommandTimeout(...)), the connection string Command Timeout, or Database.SetCommandTimeout before Migrate().

2026-05-13 errors csharp dotnet

Fix: System.Text.Json.JsonException: The JSON value could not be converted

System.Text.Json throws this when the incoming JSON token doesn't match the CLR target type. Match the JSON to the type, or register a JsonConverter or JsonSerializerOption that bridges them.

Fix: System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException: Keyset does not exist

The certificate's private key lives in a separate Windows key file the current process identity cannot read. Grant ACL on the key, load the PFX with MachineKeySet, or use EphemeralKeySet.

2026-05-12 errors csharp dotnet

Fix: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly in a published app

Runs fine with dotnet run, throws after dotnet publish. The DLL is usually missing from the publish folder, not the runtime. Check deps.json, ProjectReference Private, and trimming.

2026-05-12 errors csharp dotnet

Fix: InvalidOperationException: Synchronous operations are disallowed

Replace the Stream.Read or Write call with ReadAsync/WriteAsync. As a last resort, set AllowSynchronousIO on Kestrel, IIS, or per-request via IHttpBodyControlFeature.

2026-05-12 errors csharp dotnet

Fix: RZ10012: Found markup element with unexpected name in Blazor

Blazor's Razor compiler emits RZ10012 when a PascalCase tag has no matching component type in scope. Add @using for the component's namespace in _Imports.razor, or @namespace in the component, then rebuild.

2026-05-11 errors csharp dotnet

Fix: dotnet ef migrations add fails with 'Unable to create an object of type DbContext'

EF Core's design-time tools could not instantiate your DbContext. Either expose a host via WebApplication.CreateBuilder, point to the right startup project, or implement IDesignTimeDbContextFactory.

2026-05-11 errors csharp dotnet

Fix: MSB3027 Could not copy X to Y. Exceeded retry count of 10. Failed

MSB3027 means MSBuild retried a file copy 10 times and a process still held the destination. Kill the locking process, exclude bin/obj from antivirus, or raise CopyRetryCount.

2026-05-11 errors csharp dotnet

Fix: The type or namespace name 'X' could not be found (after adding a project reference)

CS0246 right after a fresh ProjectReference is almost always a TargetFramework mismatch, a stale obj folder, or a missing using directive. Five fixes in order of likelihood.
