This post is about enabling Anti-forgery validation in single page applications using ASP.NET Core and Angular. The anti-forgery token can be used to help protect your application against cross-site request forgery. In earlier versions of ASP.NET, you had to explicitly decorate a controller or an action method to enable Anti-forgery, in ASP.NET Core Web API all the unsafe methods(PUT, POST) anti-forgery validation is enabled by default.

This post about developing ASP.NET Core apps with Xamarin Forms and Ooui. Xamarin.Forms exposes a complete cross-platform UI toolkit for .NET developers. Build fully native Android, iOS, and Universal Windows Platform apps using C# in Visual Studio. And Ooui is a small cross-platform UI library that brings the simplicity of native UI development to the web. In the background, it is also using WebAssembly, like Blazor. Here is a simple console app, which is running a Xamarin Forms code in self hosted mode.

Hangfire is framework which helps to perform background operations in .NET and .NET Core. By default, Hangfire will be configured along with the application, but you need to configure the Web App to run Always running. For better scalability and separation of concerns, it is recommended to move the job processing from web application to a different process. Hangfire supports two modes, one as a Console application and as Windows Service. In this blog post I am using Console app approach.

While implementing CI for one of the project, I implemented code quality check using Resharper Code Quality Analysis task. This task can fail the build, but this task will not generate a report. Since this task is internally using Inspectcode.exe, it will be able to generate the output XML file. In this post, I am writing a simple PowerShell script, which can be used as task, which will generate html report.
