Azure AspNetCore AzureADB2C

This article will discuss about implementing Authentication of ASP.NET Core MVC applications with Azure Active Directory B2C. Azure Active Directory B2C (Azure AD B2C) is a cloud identity management solution for web and mobile apps. The service provides authentication for apps hosted in the cloud and on-premises. I couldn’t find any documentation on how to use Azure AD B2C in ASP.NET Core MVC applications.

Playwright AzureDevOps

This article will discuss about testing web applications with the help of Playwright.NET. And run the tests in Azure DevOps as part of CI/CD pipeline. Few months back I wrote an article on Testing Web Applications with PlayWright and C#, this was using a non Microsoft package - PlaywrightSharp. Right now Microsoft is offering an official package - Microsoft.Playwright. In this article you will learn about how to write test case using Microsoft.Playwright nuget package and how to deploy the test app and execute it as part of the CI / CD pipeline in Azure DevOps.

Open API support for ASP.NET Core Minimal API

AspNetCore OpenApi Swagger WebApi

This article will discuss about implementing Open API (Swagger) for ASP.NET Core 6.0 minimal API. Today I saw one video from Maria Naggaga about Minimal APIs. She was showing a demo of Web API with swagger support. So thought I will implement the same. But it was not working for me. I was getting a lot of errors - both compile time and runtime. Then I looked into the ASP.NET Core source code and found one extension method which was not available in the runtime I was using. So I upgraded the version and installed the - 6.0.100-preview.6.21357.52 version and it started working. If you’re not using this version the code in this blog post will not work. You can download the latest version of .NET SDK from here - https://github.com/dotnet/installer#installers-and-binaries
