Call for Content – Submit Now

The call for content for .NET Conf 2024 is now open on Sessionize!

We are seeking 30-minute talks (including a 5-minute audience Q&A) covering .NET, Visual Studio, GitHub, and the Azure Developer Experience. This is your chance to share your expertise and insights on the latest .NET 9 features with the global .NET community. To maximize your chances, please submit sessions focus on things you’re doing with .NET rather than duplicating product team announcements.

    how can i use efcore in aot mode? there are many posts, issue, pull request say efcore 9 preview partially support aot, but no any document say how to use.
    what is the meaning of “Check back here for examples of how to use pre-compiled queries as the experience comes together.” in the document of efcore “What’s New in EF Core 9” ?

    No GPU access yet in the .NET framework?

    No wonder latest blogpost about preview 7 has disabled comments. This has to be poorest year when it comes to new features.
    Progress related to “field keyword” is really a bad joke. What it is? Like 3 years since it should have been released? Instead, maintainers just started discussion about possibilities to implement feature in LDM. Not even single commit has been made in like 2+ years.
    Anyway, can’t wait to see recycled introduction of “brand new feature” on future of dotnet conference…for like next 3 years.
