Building a Stack Overflow browser as a VS extension

I have been writing a couple of integration with the Stack Overflow API for both the elmah.io app and some public exceptions pages that we launched recently (like System.DivideByZeroException). For this post, I want to show you how to pull data from Stack Overflow with C#. For demo purposes (and TBH because I wanted to play more with Visual Studio extensions), the sample code for this post will end out in a small Visual Studio extension (VSIX).

ASP.NET Core 7 has built-in dark mode for error pages

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.
