(30+) Visual Studio Code (@vscode.dev) — Bluesky
OpenAPI is the framework of choice for documenting APIs
OpenAPI support in ASP.NET Core API apps
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/openapi/overview?view=aspnetcore-9.0
Generate OpenAPI documents at build-time
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/openapi/aspnetcore-openapi?view=aspnetcore-9.0&tabs=visual-studio%2Cvisual-studio-code#generate-openapi-documents-at-build-time
The project file property to set the directory where the OpenAPI should be saved is “OpenApiDocumentsDirectory” and it is documented here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/openapi/aspnetcore-openapi?view=aspnetcore-9.0&tabs=visual-studio%2Cvisual-studio-code#modifying-the-output-directory-of-the-generated-open-api-file
This section contains a summary of how C# types and attributes map to OpenAPI schemas.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/openapi/include-metadata?view=aspnetcore-9.0&tabs=minimal-apis#include-openapi-metadata-for-data-types
We talked about the OpenAPI specification — the latest version is here:
https://spec.openapis.org/oas/v3.1.1.html
I also briefly touched on the Overlay specification — that is here:
https://spec.openapis.org/overlay/v1.0.0.html
and the Arazzo Specification — that is here:
https://spec.openapis.org/arazzo/v1.0.1.html
The Roadmap for ASP.NET Core features in .NET 10 is here:

Bill Wagner creates C# learning and reference materials for https://learn.microsoft.com. He works with colleagues on the C# team, related content teams, and customers to provide resources for everyone that wants to learn more about C#. He’s also a member of the ECMA C# Standardization committee, working to update the C# standard.
I asked Bill, to come talk about C# 11 and to do so from the perspective of a programmer who stopped following the newest additions to C# as of C# 7 or 8 or so. That is, how do we catch up if we’ve fallen behind on the latest features?
This is part one, in which we discuss, among other things, Pattern Matching.
Here is a link to the tutorial Bill describes.
And here is a link to the top of the C# documentation.
Mark Price joined me to discuss C# 11 and his books, C# 11 and .NET 7 and Apps and Services with .NET 7. Both books are available in my tiny book store, listed under Favorite books for programmers.
Note: A gremlin got into the original audio; fixed now. I apologize for the inconvenience.
Part 2 of my discussion with Mads and Dustin on what’s new in C# 11 with a focus on when application developers will use the new features.
