Visual Studio Team Services provide asserts such as source code, builds, releases, etc. You may also know that it is also allowed to add/install extensions to give extra value. Microsoft marketplace  list all the extensions available for VSTS. VSTS Package Management Click this link to download the Package Management extension. You should have admin level permission to install/add an extension. Package Management is an extension that hosts NuGet, npm, and Maven packages in VSTS. This blog post helps you to Create, host, and share packages with your team. I have use NuGet option for this blog post. Create Packages Open your Solution in Visual Studio. Right-click on the desired Project and select Project Property . It will open the Project Property Window. Select Package tab. In that form, you can edit necessary fields accordingly. Most important fields or the required fields filled with default values. Underline felids in the below two screenshots ...

Satellite Assemblies Resource files in Dot Net Resource files are typically used to store any resources in your Dot Net application. Resource file allows you to store images, icons, audio, files, strings and other types of resources. Of cause it is not mandatory to keep them inside a resource file. But when it comes to localization it is recommended to work with the resource file. localization Which means based on the user's language and culture change the application and the resources. How to archive localization with resources? Seems to be an impossible task. But to make the impossible possible, Dot Net provides you a special assembly called "Satellite Assembly" Satellite assemblies are assemblies that containing resources specific to a given language and culture. Using satellite assemblies, you can place the resources for different languages in different assemblies, and the correct assembly is loaded into memory only if the user selects to view the ...

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 ...

DTO DTO stands for Data Transfer Object. DTOs are there for transfer data between the different application or different layers within a single application. You can look at them as dump bags of information. The purpose of existence is just getting that information to a recipient. So that recipient doesn't get anything other than they expect. The major problem that I had with this DTO is mapping one object to another. Every place where I need to transfer my data using DTO, either I have to use parameterized constructor or new object initialize to inject the information (data) into it. Recently I found this library called AutoMapper  which made my code awesome. AutoMapper is a simple little library built to solve a deceptively complex problem "getting rid of code that mapped one object to another" . AutoMapper It all started with Source Object and Destination Object to work with (well, that's obvious!). This works best as long as the names of the source ty...
