ASP.NET Core–Route arguments are case sensitive

I’m currently rewriting an existing ASP.NET Web API application to ASP.NET Core. Along the way I encountered some issues, here is one specific lesson I learned…

After porting an ASP.NET Web API controller to .NET Core, a specific action method looked like this:

Looked OK to me. But when I tried to invoke this action method, I got a 400 error back:

{
  "type": "https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-6.5.1",
  "title": "One or more validation errors occurred.",
  "status": 400,
  "traceId": "00-3c02d7d0541cbb49a1790b11a71d871a-885c9350d2c4864c-00",
  "errors": {
    "ID": [
      "The value '{id}' is not valid."
    ]
  }
}
It wasn’t immediatelly obvious to me what I did wrong. Maybe you spot my mistake?
Let’s have a look at the route attribute: [HttpGet(“{id}”)]
and at the method argument: GetAuthTypeById(int ID)
As you can see the ‘id’ argument in the route is lowercase where the method argument is uppercase. Turns out that this is the cause of the error above.
To make it work, I have to make sure that both the route attribute and method argument are using the exact same casing:

.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...
