I’ve been spoiled by Asp.Net and expect app settings to just work, but there is no easily configured app settings story for client-side Blazor yet. What I’m looking for is the ability to set some settings on a per-environment (dev/test/beta/prod) through Azure App Service Application Settings. The goal is one build artifact that moves from environment to environment with zero changes.

If you host the Blazor app as static files you’d need to change the app settings file for each different environment. So, I’ve gone with Asp.Net Core Web Hosted. I’ve named the app AppSettingsExample, so in the solution we have AppSettingsExample.Client (the WASM app), AppSettingsExample.Server (the host app), and AppSettingExample.Shared (code that is shared between the Client and Server)

Often when we’re coding, we need to take a look at the definition or sometimes the implementation of a method we’re calling. Visual Studio has a few great ways to speed these tasks.

One of the most tedious things we do as developers is making repetitive changes. Maybe we need to set a handful of properties on a single object, or perhaps we want to add a property to the instantiation of a bunch of test objects. Here are a few shortcuts to help you with that.

The Test Explorer has a great ability to filter tests in a number of different ways so you don’t have to run your whole test suite when you’re just working on something that only affects a handful of tests.

Everyone has their own favorite layout for the various tool windows in Visual Studio. But sometimes you want different Window layouts based on what you’re working on, or whether you have external screens attached to your laptop.
