Visual Studio 2019–Editorconfig UI

As I read more code than I write, code consistenty and readability are really important for me. That is why I like the .editorconfig and one of the reasons why I blogged about it before:

Although I really like EditorConfig files, configuring them is not that easy. If you agree then I have great news for you! Starting from Visual Studio 16.10 an EditorConfig designer was added that allows you to easily view and configure your code analysis preferences.

  • Check that you have at least version 16.10 of Visual Studio
  • Open the solution containing the editorconfig file
  • Click on the .editorconfig file. The designer is loaded:

  • The great thing is that if you are looking for a specific setting, you no longer have to open up the documentation but that you can easily search using the provided UI.

Remark: If you still want to edit the file directly in the text view, you still can by pressing F7.

Help! I accidently enabled HSTS–on localhost

I ran into an issue after accidently enabling HSTS for a website on localhost. This was not an issue for the original website that was running in IIS and had a certificate configured. But when I tried to run an Angular app a little bit later on http://localhost:4200 the browser redirected me immediately to https://localhost . Whoops! That was not what I wanted in this case. To fix it, you need to go the network settings of your browser, there are available at: chrome://net-internals/#hsts edge://net-internals/#hsts brave://net-internals/#hsts Enter ‘localhost’ in the domain textbox under the Delete domain security policies section and hit Delete . That should do the trick…
