Blazor
Streamlining SSR with Blazor Components
Do you fancy fast-loading server-side Blazor pages? As of .NET 8, streaming content updates to client-side is possible with SSR (Server-Side Rendering)!

Mastering Form Posts in Blazor SSR
Exciting news! Now it will be easier to deal with form posts when it comes to SSR. Here’s how to start:

Create a model binding context with the CascadingModelBinder component in your main layout:

Named Element Routing in Blazor
Now, Blazor has released an extraordinary feature that allows client-side routing to specific HTML elements using URL fragments. No more endless scrolling or getting lost in your app — all thanks to URL fragment magic!

Just add an id attribute to your desired element
Blazor automatically scrolls to the element when the URL fragment matches its identifier
If you are wondering why use Named Element Routing in Blazor? Well, here’s a couple of compelling reasons:

Effortlessly guide users to what matters most in your app, without them manually scrolling a mile
Improve user experience with enhanced navigation capabilities
Boost the overall usability and perception of your app

Bye-Bye .dll Woes: Webcil Packaging for Blazor WebAssembly Apps
Are you tired of dealing with blocked .dll file downloads or .dll usage issues? Webcil packaging is here to save the day!

Webcil removes native Windows execution content from .NET assemblies, putting an end to these frustrations.

Minimal APIs Now Support Form Binding
If you’re a fan of minimal APIs, you’ll be thrilled to hear that form binding for specific types is now possible without the assistance of the FromForm attribute. This update applies to IFormCollection, IFormFile and IFormFileCollection.

Boost Your API Development with .http Files
New API projects now come with an included .http file.

Native AOT
Streamlined Logging and Exception Handling in Compile-time Minimal APIs
Did you know that you can now bring automatic logging and exception handling to your compile-time minimals APIs through the Request Delegate Generator? Microsoft sure knows how to cater to developers!

ASP.NET Core Metrics
The latest release brings new ASP.NET Core metrics, thanks to the awesomeness of System.Diagnostics.Metrics. Huh, isn’t that cool?

Now, you might be wondering, “sure, that sounds great, but what’s in it for me?” Hold on to your hats because these new metrics are a game-changer, especially compared to those old-timer event counters. Here’s a taste of what’s on offer with Metrics:

New Measurement Types
Get ready for a whole new level of measurement goodness! Say hello to counters, gauges, and histograms. Imagine all the possibilities with these new tools at your disposal!

Enhanced Multi-Dimensional Value Reporting
Who doesn’t love adding a little extra dimension to their life? With enhanced multi-dimensional value reporting, you’ll dive deeper into understanding your application’s performance.

It’s like having X-ray vision into your app, but you know… without any side effects.

Compatibility with Cloud-Native Ecosystems
Raise your hand if you love OpenTelemetry! This impressive addition ensures that your ASP.NET Core metrics play nicely with your favorite cloud-native ecosystem. Finally, no more awkward silos and barriers, just pure harmony!

So, fellow C# enthusiasts, are you excited yet to dive into these shiny new ASP.NET Core metrics? I know I am! These new features are not just mind-blowing, but also insanely practical for optimizing our applications.

Don’t let your app’s performance leave you guessing — embrace the Metrics revolution and optimize your way to success!
