You may remember Dark Screen of Death, the Chrome extension to bring dark mode to ASP.NET Core exception pages that we launched back in February. I probably should have followed the commits on the aspnetcore repository more closely, since it turns out that ASP.NET Core 7 comes with its own dark mode version of error pages. In this post, I'll share how to enable it and look at the differences between the built-in version and the Chrome extension.
While doing some new.NET exception landing pages to link to from the elmah.io app, I had some fun challenges integrating with various services. One of them is YouTube to show relevant YouTube search results on the page. In this post, I'll share with you how to do YouTube searches from C#.
In 2020 we released distributed tracing for AWS Lambda functions written in Python, Node.js, and Ruby, providing you with health and performance insights across your serverless applications. Since then, we’ve expanded our support to additional Lambda runtimes such as Java and Go, and are pleased to announce that real-time distributed tracing is now also available for.NET Lambda functions.
I have been playing around with the Trello REST API recently. To my surprise, there doesn't seem to be any actively developed client package for.NET and Trello doesn't show examples in C# on their website. Here's a quick overview of what I have learned.

Many.NET applications and frameworks support a plugin based model. Also known as “add-in” or “extension” model. A plugin model allows extension or customization of functionality by adding assemblies and config files to a directory that is scanned at application startup. For example.
Automating the deployment of a new web application and the release of feature updates goes a long way towards improving the productivity and efficiency of your development team. Another benefit of automation is that it minimizes or even eliminates repeated manual deployments. Manual deployments introduce the risk of human error during this critical part of the development process.
