Caching is essential for optimizing application performance by lowering data retrieval latency and reducing the number of database or API calls. In .NET 9.0, Microsoft has introduced improved caching strategies, including Hybrid Caching, which merges the advantages of in-memory and distributed caching. This blog delves into Hybrid Caching in .NET 9.0, covering its benefits, implementation, […]

IExceptionHandler is an interface introduced in .NET 8 for handling exceptions globally. ASP.NET Core applications use this interface internally for their built-in exception handling. This method is better than other approaches we’ve seen. The IExceptionHandler interface requires you to implement one method, TryHandleAsync, which works with the HTTP context and the error. A benefit is […]

You can check if string lengths fall within set limits, ensure numbers are within a certain range, specify which values are allowed or not, and validate Base64 strings. This article explains how to use these new features. To demonstrate each dataannotations, I have used […]

In modern .NET applications, effective configuration management is essential for ensuring flexibility and a clear separation of concerns. The IOptions<T> pattern is the preferred approach for injecting configuration settings into services. With .NET 9.0, records provide a concise and immutable way to represent configuration models. In this blog, we’ll explore how to utilize the IOptions<T> […]
