Use FromSql on a DbSet when the procedure returns full entity rows, Database.SqlQuery<T> when it returns a projection, and ExecuteSql when it returns nothing. Never chain a LINQ operator onto an EXEC, and never read an output parameter before the reader is disposed.

Attach a JsonTypeInfo modifier to a source-generated JsonSerializerContext in .NET 11: why new MyContext(options) silently drops it, the WithAddedModifier setup that works, the fast path you give up (measured), and the naming-policy trap that makes modifiers no-op.

EF Core scaffolds RenameTable when you change the table name, but DropTable plus CreateTable when you rename the entity class. Here is how to tell the two apart, the ToTable trick that makes a class rename free, and the column-rename bug that silently swaps your data.

A complete guide to file-based C# apps: running a single .cs file with dotnet run, the #:package, #:sdk, #:property, #:project and #:include directives, multi-file scripts with #:ref, argument and stdin handling, the build cache, native AOT publishing, packaging as a dotnet tool, and dotnet project convert when the script outgrows itself.

Replace UseSwaggerUI with MapScalarApiReference in ASP.NET Core 11: routing, multiple documents, pre-filled auth, production gating, offline assets, and the Scalar-only OpenAPI extensions that mark endpoints stable or hidden.

The reconnect modal means the SignalR circuit dropped, not that your app crashed. Decide whether the retry ended in failed or rejected, then fix sticky sessions, the 3-minute retention window, the 32 KB message limit, or persist circuit state with [PersistentState].

For internal service-to-service calls in .NET 11, default to gRPC when you own both ends of the contract and the call is point-to-point. Use REST with JSON when anything you do not control has to call the service. SignalR is not an RPC transport between services: reach for it only when one producer has to fan a message out to many long-lived consumers.

await Task.WhenAll rethrows only one of the failures. Keep the WhenAll task in a variable and read its Exception.InnerExceptions to see every error instead of one.

500.30 means your app threw during startup inside w3wp.exe. The real exception is already in the Windows Application event log under IIS AspNetCore Module V2. Read that first, then rank the fix: missing shared framework, x86/x64 app pool mismatch, missing config, or app pool permissions.

Add a rowversion concurrency token in EF Core 11: the [Timestamp] and IsRowVersion setup, the SQL EF actually emits, catching DbUpdateConcurrencyException, store-wins vs client-wins vs merge, disconnected APIs with ETags, and the five traps that silently disable the whole thing.
