  • Updating Azure Functions Tools

    Azure Functions Tools is at the heart of providing local development for Azure Function. Whenever you use Visual Studio, Rider, VS Code, or anything else, you need it to be able to run your bits. For command line folks, the installation process is outlined in the tools repository. For Visual Studio (2022) and Rider, it is less evident as it depends on the tool. So, where am I heading with this? Right, the need to update the Azure Functions Tools.

  • PowerGUI

    In my last post I have described the move from NAnt to PSake that is based on PowerShell. One missing piece for making the whole experience smooth was Visual Studio support for PowerShell syntax and some Intellisense. Gladly, I have run into PowerGUIVsx, that does just that: syntax highlighting, intellisense, and even debugging. Sweet!

  • Keeping Automated Builds DRY

    This is not the first time I came back to automated builds and re-evaluate how they are done. This time, I wanted to capture several things at the same time:

  • SP1 and Scott Guthrie

    Ok, so I was really upset and spilled a bit more than probably should have to. ScottGu has picked my desperate yell from the blog and suggested a help (2nd time I believe - 1st one occurred when .NET 2.0 SP1 has broken our production web sites, wow, he's good). Apparently there was an issue with SP1 Beta and R# 4.0. I already went through refresh on installs (including removal of addins and components). Plan vanilla .NET FW with Service Packs with no addins installed works fine (well, not crushing, working without R# is impossible).

  • SP1

    As you probably know, the all new and shiny SP1 for both .NET framework and VS.NET 2008 are out. So I waited a bit, saw that other developers are accepting it and installed it. Great, worked smooth. Till I dared to restart. After that VS.NET 2008 designer "empowered by new abilities deployed with SP1" has showed own of it's hidden jams - complete crash of the IDE with no traces to what has just happened.
