warning SYSLIB1037: The type '' defines init-only properties, deserialization of which is currently not supported in source generation mode.

2 days ago I introduced the System.Text.Json source generator and showed you how to use it in ASP.NET Core. What I didn’t told you that it didn’t go so smoothly.

If you had a good look at the generated code I shared, you maybe noticed the following lines:

The generated setter on the property will not work and instead throw an InvalidOperationException.

This also appears as a warning during the build process:

CSC : warning SYSLIB1037: The type 'OrderDto' defines init-only properties, deserialization of which is currently not supported in source generation mode.

More information about this warning: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/fundamentals/syslib-diagnostics/syslib1037

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 .
