Using RegEx in VSCode For Powerful Searching

This post demonstrates some of my favorite search techniques that work well in VSCode, including some basic RegEx (Regular Expressions) expressions that will help you find exactly what you’re looking for in an unfamiliar code base. We will cover VSCode file type inclusions and exclusions, single-line multi-term searching, conditional searching, and more. RegEx can be intimidating to people who aren’t used to using it, but luckily the RegEx expressions described in this post are very easy to remember and incredibly powerful.

The Visual Studio Experience for C# in VS Code

The Visual Studio Experience with C# in VS Code

There is no doubt that VS Code is one of the most popular development IDEs around these days. With clean layouts and a broad library of extensions that cater to an amazing list of development languages, it’s easy to imagine why it’s so popular. However, when it came to C# development, there were comforts that could be found in Visual Studio but not in VS Code. That is until recently…

This year, Microsoft released an extension for VS Code that helps bring those missing comforts of developing C# in Visual Studio to VS Code: the C# Dev Kit extension, which is approaching 1 million downloads with active updates. If you are an API and UI developer looking to stay in a single IDE, or maybe a Linux developer who is not able to install Visual Studio, this should excite you.

In this post, we’ll walk through some of the features that this extension brings to VS Code.

Does your personal laptop struggle to keep up with your development needs? Maybe your company is looking for alternatives to continually needing to upgrade their developers’ laptops. Maybe a team of developers would benefit from a powerful remote server versus personal computers?

Today, remote development is even more streamlined than ever with the help of products like Visual Studio’s Remote – SSH extension or with Jetbrains Remote Development. In this blog post, I will give a brief overview of Visual Studio’s Remote – SSH extension and share a mini how-to on using it.

In Part 2 of the Keyhole Blazor Server in .NET 6 series, we learned how to utilize Blazor Protected Browser Storage. We also covered how to build a base component and implement ProtectedStorage on the Characters Page.

Hopefully, you also found that using ProtectedSessionStorage to scope to the current tab allows you to avoid bugs and confusing behavior across multiple tabs. In the next blog, we will cover the installation of Radzen Blazor – a free component library for Blazor. See you in part 3!

Blazor Server in .NET 6 – Part One

In Part 1 of the Keyhole Blazor Server in .NET 6 series, we learned how to create a new Blazor server application with both the CLI and Visual Studio methods. We covered the default template files that are provided when creating a new application and talked through some of the functionality and syntax inside the default components.

This gave us a brief primer for creating our own Character Builder application, so we created a Blazor page, navigated to our new page, and created a component to display data on a Character Page. We were able to see how component lifestyles function when attempting to display our characters as well.

Hopefully, Part 1 provided a helpful outline for navigating the CharactersPage component in further installments of the .NET 6 series. See you in Part 2, where we build on this application to utilize Blazor Protected Browser Storage.
