Code solutions for Visual Studio 2022 and Visual Studio Code

If you have Visual Studio 2022 for Windows and Visual Studio Code and its C# extension installed on the same computer, the build process can sometimes conflict. This is because Visual Studio has its own non-standard build server that is different from the standard build server used by .NET SDK. Visual Studio 2022 and Visual Studio Code also use different file types to group projects. So I have duplicated and separated solution code for each product:

  • /vs4win: Visual Studio 2022 for Windows solution files and projects for each chapter
  • /vscode: Visual Studio Code workspace files and projects for each chapter

Three chapters and the appendix available to download as a PDF file: 9781801077361_Bonus_Content.pdf.

  • Chapter 18, Building and Consuming Specialized Services
  • Chapter 19, Building Mobile and Desktop Apps Using .NET MAUI (also available as an updated online document)
  • Chapter 20, Protecting Your Data and Applications
  • Appendix A, Answers to the Test Your Knowledge Questions (click the PDF file above, download, and the Appendix starts on page 137.)

Supplementary print book materials available to download:

  • Color images of the screenshots/diagrams used in this book

Microsoft Certifications

Announcing the New Foundational C# Certification with freeCodeCamp: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/announcing-foundational-csharp-certification/

Microsoft used to have professional exams and certifications for developers that covered skills like C# and ASP.NET. Sadly, they have retired them all. These days, the only developer-adjacent exams and certifications are for Azure or Power Platform, as you can see from the certification poster: https://aka.ms/traincertposter
