Tidy up - Unused Project and Nuget package reference using Visual Studio 2019

If you are a Developer/Architect using Visual Studio as IDE for your development activities, this blog post will be of your interest. During the Ignite 2021 conference, Microsoft released Visual Studio 2019 v16.9 and v16.10 Preview 1. As part of version 16.10 Preview 1, one of the cool features they introduced is to "Remove Unused References..." for any Projects and Nuget packages that are not in use. At the time of writing this blog post, we have Visual Studio Version 16.10.0 (official release) which includes this new feature.  As part of development, we generally get carried away and introduce new Nuget package references to your project and add new references to your Projects. By the end of development, you will not be 100% sure which are not being referenced and unused which means you will leave those unused project references in your application. Now you might be wondering what's the big deal in it since it doesn't harm. The advantage of removing unused project r

Getting started with Docker and Containers

Image
This is the first part of a series of posts on using Docker and containerization with .Net Core Background Docker , the technology which is nothing but a tool designed to make it easier to create, deploy, and run applications by using containers. A suite of command-line tools for creating, running, and sharing containers. Containers in simple words are nothing but fast light weight virtual machines (conceptually). Containers allow a developer to package up an application with all of the parts it needs, such as libraries and other dependencies, and ship it all out as one package. Containers offer a logical packaging mechanism in which applications can be abstracted from the environment in which they actually run. Available for both  Linux-  and Windows-based applications. Containers and Virtual Machine We often get asked how Containers are different from Virtual Machine? Are they same or is it VM++? Virtual Machine vs Containers     Containers and vir
