dotnet does not appear to require a trailing backslash when you define a custom NuGet package cache path via env var NUGET_PACKAGES but Visual Studio does.
🌐 Ever wished you could share your localhost web app with the world? With #VisualStudio Dev Tunnels, now you can! Check out my latest video to see how:
Why is it that almost 100% of the time when I go to create or use a #dotnet#dotnetmaui project in #visualstudio that it just fails to build for random reasons - like being unable to find the right #nuget packages or some other obscure b.s. that requires lengthy searching and trial-and-error to maybe fix?
Basically, my experience with #dotnetmaui almost always sucks.
When will Visual Studio branding let go of that year at the end? For instance latest community version is branded "Visual Studio Community 2022", when you go to the settings dialog it shows that, and it's also shown on their web page. They could just use the version number, which right now is 17.9.5
Having that year at the end makes me wonder if I have the latest version or not, but yes I do, they just don't bother to change the year.
I was trying out JetBrains Rider again...
→ is an IDE, so primarily for looking at text
→ no support for BGR subpixel rendering, RGB only
→ no support for bitmap fonts
→ no way to adjust the font or the size of inlay hints
How can an IDE have such shitty text rendering? I don't want my code to look blurry.
Note: Visual Studio isn't any better, but VS Code is.
This release of #visualstudio brings additional tools to help you improve your code reviews with #copilot, diagnostics improvements, as well as additional Extensibility and WinForms enhancements.
OMG. Great. You get to save the file once before #VSCode shits itself and you have restart VSCode for it to reconnect to the remote connection. This editor blows, man. Sorry for all the VSCode lovers out there.
VSCode seems to be the answer if the question was "What if we took a GUI, removed everything that makes a GUI useful, and replaced it with half working CLI?"
More ads in #VisualStudio that are both wrong and irrelevant. This was hidden behind a diamond icon with the tool tip "new benefits". Uhhhh, this isn't a new benefit. I already knew about it.
Who is steering this ship, and can someone please maybe perform a very tiny mutiny?
TIL VS2019 doesn't support .NET 6 and if you mix .NET SDK 8 or so with VS2019 it will horribly fail, as it expects that directory structure to be different...
