Visual Studio 17.7–Copy and trim indentation

A feature that I’m really happy about it got introduced in Visual Studio 17.7 is copy and trim identation. One of the things that I do a lot as writer of blog posts, is copy/pasting code snippets from Visual Studio.

Before Visual Studio 17.7 when I paste a code snippet in for example Github gists the indentation levels are inconsistent So far I always started to correct the indentation levels manually but of course that is a lot of work.

Last year a Copy Nice extension was created to help solve this problem. But starting from Visual Studio 17.7 the built-in copy/paste got a lot smarter and this extension is now no longer necessary.

This is what originally happened when you do a copy. Here is the selection:


And here is the pasted result:

You see that the indentation is wrong and should be fixed.

If you try to do the same thing in Visual Studio 17.7, this is how the pasted code looks like:

I love it!

.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...
