Setup Azure AD B2C

Azure Active Directory B2C

Briefly, Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) B2C is a business-to-consumer identity management service. This service enables you to customize and control how users securely interact with your web, desktop, mobile, or single-page applications. Using Azure AD B2C, users can sign up, sign in, reset passwords, and edit profiles. Azure AD B2C implements a form of the OpenID Connect and OAuth 2.0 protocols. The important key in the implementation of these protocols is the security tokens and their claims that enable you to provide secure access to resources.

Dynamic Assembly in C#

Static Assembly Vs Dynamic Assembly Static Assemblies are those assemblies which are stored on the disk permanently as a file or set of files. Since these assemblies are stored in the disk, those are only loaded when CLR requests.  These are the assemblies we are dealing with daily. Assemblies that I'm going to talk about today bit different. It completely opposite of the Static Assemblies. Those Assemblies are not stored on the disk before execution. When an application requires any type, which references from these assemblies, DOT NET will create these Assemblies at the runtime so that it will directly load into the memory. Why is it important ? Like I mentioned, this is not something we do very often. It is not all about how important it is. Personally, I think it is better to know this kind of hidden language features. More you play with this more you learn. I found cool stuff I can do with this. Hope it will be same for you as well. This is an old feature. How ...

global.json file

  Symptoms Suddenly you get build errors in your build pipeline which perfectly builds in your local machine 🤔🤔🤔 Cause Most likely the root cause is .NET SDK versions. Your local machine builds on a different SDK and the pipeline builds on a different SDK. Resolution The ideal way of solving this is to force everyone to use one define .Net SDK. Regardless of whether it is a developer or CI pipeline. Simply to make this happen .NET  provides you a file called "global.json". The global.json file allows you to define which .NET SDK version is used when you run .NET CLI commands. Selecting the .NET SDK version is independent from specifying the runtime version a project targets. For information about specifying the runtime version instead of the SDK version, see Target frameworks . If you always want to use the latest SDK version that is installed on your machine, no global.json file is needed. Into the Depth The sample global.json file looks like the below, {    ...
