Pulling Blobs Out of Azure Archive Storage
When storing data in Azure blob storage, the process of upload a blob is fairly straight forward, and all it takes is setting the access tier to “Archive” to move data to blob storage.

Quo Vadis, MSMQ and .NET Core?
“Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ) is currently not available for .NET Core. While other message queuing systems are generally preferred, many enterprise applications were based on MSMQ and this creates a problem for teams looking to migrate from .NET Framework to .NET Core or the upcoming .NET 5. But a recent pull request for Reference Source may change the situation.”

Performance Improvements in .NET 5
“.NET 5 has seen a wealth of performance improvements, and even though it’s not scheduled for final release until this fall and there’s very likely to be a lot more improvements that find their way in by then, I wanted to highlight a bunch of the improvements that are already available now.”

C# 9 Deep Dive: Records | Dave Brock
In the previous post of this series, Dave Brock discussed the init-only features of C# 9, which allowed us to make individual properties immutable. That works great on a case-by-case basis, but the real power in leveraging C# immutability is when we can do this for custom types. This is where records shine.
This is the second post in a five-post series on C# 9 features in-depth.

.NET 5 – One .NET to rule them all
There is No More .NET Core, it’s .NET 5
Here’s the umbrella of .NET 5 to the rescue. It’s a MAJOR change because of the following reasons:
As the first part of this unification scheme, Microsoft’s Xamarin mobile development platform will switch from using the Mono BCL to join other components leveraging the .NET Core BCL. With that move, Xamarin mobile development will be folded into .NET 5. That means that for the first time, one BCL-based framework will handle all app models:
- ASP.NET Core
- Entity Framework Core
- Blazor
- WinForms
- WPF
- Xamarin
- ML.NET
Wait, WPF and WinForms made it into .NET 5? Yes, it’s true. Hello there, old friends! Nice to see them included in this runtime. The idea of using one SDK to build apps with is pretty exciting stuff, if you ask me.
