Clearing the nuget cache for a package
Have you tried consuming a newer version of an internal nuget package before pushing the version to the package repository?
I happen to do that sometimes. I'd expect the pipeline to have pushed the package, but it would have failed.
Now, since nuget caches the response, it's not possible to
Build-time configuration for Blazor WebAssembly Apps using MS Build properties

}
Since it returns a task, we could generate an infinite number of tasks by yield-returning it from a loop:
private static IEnumerable ProduceForever(CancellationToken cancel)

Quite often, all I want to do is check if a single line of code does what I think it does.
Creating an Azure EventGrid Webhook in ASP.NET Core
Azure EventGrid has first class support for Azure Functions, Azure Logic Apps, and Azure Automation. However, writing your own webhook in ASP.NET Core is a piece of cake and I'm going to show you how to do it (because I just wrote one yesterday 😬).
Install the EventGrid Azure SDK
