ReadHere be dragons: string concatenation
String concatenation can be done in several ways, each with their own advantages and usecases. In this blogpost I will take a closer look at 4 different ways of concatenating strings and how these are implemented internally. At the end of this post I hope I will have made clear when they are useful, when they are not and how they compare to eachother implementation-wise.

ReadA few important Roslyn API helpers
The Roslyn API as implemented in RC2 has been out for a few months now and is likely to remain largely unchanged while they’re working on getting it released officially. I think it might be time to do a little write-up and identify the key-components of that API that you likely want to use when building your own diagnostics, syntax writers or anything else possible with the platform.
ReadIntroducing: VSDiagnostics
I am happy to announce the first release of VSDiagnostics! This project is a group of diagnostics meant for Visual Studio 2015 and up which will help the developer adhere to best practices and avoid common pitfalls.
ReadGetting started with your first diagnostic
With the release of Visual Studio 2015 RC, we also received the pretty much final implementation of the Diagnostics implementation. This SDK allows us to create our own diagnostics to help us write proper code that’s being verified against those rules in real-time: you don’t have to perform the verification at a separate build-step. What’s more is that we can combine that with a code fix: a shortcut integrated in Visual Studio that provides us a solution to what we determine to be a problem.
ReadHello Linux!
Like many other .NET developers I have been following the Build conference that’s going on right now. One of its biggest announcements (so far) was the release of Visual Studio Code and the accompanying CoreCLR for Linux and Mac. It sounds nice and all but I wanted to try this out myself. I have decided to get a Console Application working in Ubuntu 14.04 since we’ve all seen by now how to deploy an ASP.NET web application.
ReadHow to configure a custom IdentityUser for Entity-Framework
I am getting accustomed to the ASP.NET Identity framework and let me just say that I love it. No more boring hassle with user accounts: all the traditional stuff is already there. However often you’ll find yourself wanting to expand on the default IdentityUser class and add your own fields to it. This was my use case as well here and since I couldn’t find any clear instructions on how this is done exactly, I decided to dive into it especially for you! Well, maybe a little bit for me as well.
ReadUnit testing Web API routes and parameter validation
Let’s talk about routing. If you’ve ever developed a web application then you know the hassle you have with the constant “Resource not found” or “Multiple actions match the request” errors. What if I told you you could fix all this without ever having to open a browser? That’s right: we’ll unit test our routes! As an added bonus I’ll also show how you can unit test parameter validation since that’s probably one of the most important things to do when creating a (public) API.
