What Is a Compiled Model in EF Core 11, and When Is It Worth Enabling?

A compiled model is generated C# that recreates your EF Core model without running OnModelCreating. Measured on EF Core 11 RC1: model load drops from 714 ms to 215 ms at 500 entities, but the MSBuild route (which replaced EFOptimizeContext) is slower, stale models fail silently, and query filters block generation.

How to add a strong-named assembly's full public key to InternalsVisibleTo in an SDK-style project

A signed assembly must name its friend by the full 320-character public key, not the token, or the build fails with CS1726 or CS0281. Get the key with sn -p and sn -tp, or with a cross-platform .NET script, then put it in the Key metadata of an InternalsVisibleTo item in the .csproj. Covers the PublicKey property fallback, Moq's DynamicProxyGenAssembly2 key, and the line-break trap.

Fix: Conflicting assets with the same target path after upgrading to the .NET 10 SDK

On the .NET 10 SDK every Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web project gets StaticWebAssetBasePath=/, so a web app referencing another web app collides. Set the base path on the referenced project. Disabling compression does not help.

Fix: PublishAot plus EFOptimizeContext exhausts memory during an EF Core build

EF Core's build-time model generation re-entered MSBuild until RAM ran out. Upgrade Tasks and Design to 10.0.10+, and on EF Core 11 delete EFOptimizeContext.

MSBuild Server Is On by Default in .NET 11 Preview 7

Preview 7 flips MSBuild server from opt-in to on by default, so back-to-back dotnet build and dotnet test calls reuse a warm worker process. Here is what changed, how to opt out, and how to prove the server actually engaged.

Fix: MSB4057 The target "ResolvePackageAssets" does not exist in the project in .NET MAUI

Fix: Visual Studio Test Explorer hangs on an xUnit v3 project while dotnet test passes

Test Explorer drives xUnit v3 through Microsoft.Testing.Platform server mode over a JSON-RPC socket, dotnet test does not. Set UseMicrosoftTestingPlatformRunner so both paths are the same code, or set DisableTestingPlatformServerCapability to fall back to VSTest.
