I aimed to protect all traffic staying… Continue reading Streamline Azure Lifecycle Management with AI Solutions
Add Private Link to an existing Azure storage account
Recently I needed to help somebody to use private link for an existing Azure Storage account. I came up with a Bicep template that helped them achieve the goal. I thought, let's just the share the code, in case somebody (or maybe even my future self) would need that for inspiration. Bicep templates I have… Continue reading Add Private Link to an existing Azure storage account
Short Update on: Elastic self-hosted pool for Azure DevOps (on Kubernetes)

Key Vault as backing store of Azure Functions

Figure: Storage Account containers… Continue reading Key Vault as backing store of Azure Functions
Continuously deploy Blazor SPA to Azure Storage static web site
Lately I am learning ASP.net Blazor – the relatively new UI framework from Microsoft. Blazor is just awesome – the ability to write c# code both in server and client side is extremely productive for .net developers. From Blazor documentations: Blazor lets you build interactive web UIs using C# instead of JavaScript. Blazor apps are composed… Continue reading Continuously deploy Blazor SPA to Azure Storage static web site
It’s harder to read code than to write it
When I started writing code for commercial projects ten years back (around 2003), I've learned an important lesson. I was assigned to write a function that serializes a data structure into XML string and send that in a SOAP body. I was very fast writing the module that mostly uses concatenation of BSTR objects in… Continue reading It’s harder to read code than to write it
Custom SPGridView
Recently I had to create a custom Grid control that allows user to do grouping, sorting, paging and filtering data displaying in it. I spent few days to figure out if there are third party controls (like Xceed, Infragistics etc) that can meet my requirements. Sadly I found that these controls can't fulfill what I… Continue reading Custom SPGridView
