How to customize the OpenAPI document with AddOperationTransformer and AddSchemaTransformer in ASP.NET Core 11

A deep dive into the built-in OpenAPI transformer pipeline in .NET 11: operation vs schema transformers, the context objects, execution order, DI-activated transformers, and recipes for headers, responses, examples, and per-property tweaks.

.NET 11 Runtime Async Drops the EnablePreviewFeatures Flag

As the .NET 11 previews progress toward the November release, Runtime Async has graduated: net11.0 projects opt in with a single MSBuild property, and the runtime libraries themselves now ship compiled on it.

What is PGO in .NET and do I need to opt in?

PGO (profile-guided optimization) lets the .NET JIT specialize hot code for the types and branches your workload actually hits. Dynamic PGO has been on by default since .NET 8, so on .NET 8 and later you do not need to opt in. Here is what it does, how to see its effect, and the rare cases where you touch the knob.

What is tiered compilation and how do I reason about it?

Tiered compilation lets the .NET JIT compile every method twice: once fast and unoptimized to get your app running, then again with full optimizations once the runtime knows a method is hot. Here is how tier 0, tier 1, on-stack replacement, and Dynamic PGO fit together, and how to observe and tune them.

What is the IHostedService contract and when do I use it?

IHostedService is the two-method interface (StartAsync/StopAsync) the .NET generic host calls on startup and graceful shutdown. Here is exactly what the contract promises, when to implement it directly, and the .NET 10 and 11 behavior changes that catch people out.

What is trim-safe code and how do I write it?

Trim-safe code is code the .NET trimmer can statically prove is reachable, so it survives when unused code is removed from a self-contained app. This is the practical guide: turn on the analyzer, drive every IL2xxx warning to zero, annotate reflection with DynamicallyAccessedMembers, propagate RequiresUnreferencedCode to public APIs, and replace unanalyzable patterns with source generators.

Migrate a Semantic Kernel App to Microsoft Agent Framework 1.0

A step-by-step checklist for moving an existing Semantic Kernel 1.77 .NET app to Microsoft Agent Framework 1.13. Covers the Kernel-to-AIAgent rewrite, plugins-to-tools, thread-to-session, the KernelFunction compatibility bridge, DI changes, and the gotchas that bite mid-cutover.

Fix: CS9035 "Required member 'X' must be set in the object initializer" in C#

CS9035 means a member marked required was not assigned. Set it in the object initializer, or add a constructor annotated with [SetsRequiredMembers] that assigns every required member.

How to customize minimal API validation error responses with IProblemDetailsService in ASP.NET Core 11

Call AddProblemDetails with a CustomizeProblemDetails callback to reshape the 400 that built-in minimal API validation returns in ASP.NET Core 11: add a traceId, rewrite the title, switch 400 to 422, or take full control with a custom IProblemDetailsWriter.
