Vingy, a search plug-in for Visual Studio

The first thing that most developer do when they have a problem, is google it. But then you are overwhelmed with the amount of results. So if you want less quantity and more quantity, you start searching on sites like StackOverflow, CodeProject, MSDN etc.

With Vingy – a simple, but effective add in for Visual Studio 2010 – you can search on all these site without leaving your Visual Studio environment.

Installing Vingy

Vingy is free and you can install it from this direct link  or via the Extensions Manager in Visual Studio 2010 (Search Vingy in the Online Gallery). Enjoy, happy coding!!

Let me know your feedback. This version is minimal, but I’ll add more meat based on your feedback. Also, planning to make it open source after a bit of code cleanup.

Using Vingy

You can bring up Vingy either by clicking View->Other Windows –> Vingy Search Window from the Visual Studio IDE, or just by highlighting some text in the document and then clicking Tools –> Search Selected Text (Ctrl + 1).

.NET 8–Keyed/Named Services

A feature that a lot of IoC container libraries support but that was missing in the default DI container provided by Microsoft is the support for Keyed or Named Services. This feature allows you to register the same type multiple times using different names, allowing you to resolve a specific instance based on the circumstances. Although there is some controversy if supporting this feature is a good idea or not, it certainly can be handy. To support this feature a new interface IKeyedServiceProvider got introduced in .NET 8 providing 2 new methods on our ServiceProvider instance: object? GetKeyedService(Type serviceType, object? serviceKey); object GetRequiredKeyedService(Type serviceType, object? serviceKey); To use it, we need to register our service using one of the new extension methods: Resolving the service can be done either through the FromKeyedServices attribute: or by injecting the IKeyedServiceProvider interface and calling the GetRequiredKeyedServic...

Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t...
