Notes on Adding .NET Core 2.2 Identity to Existing Project

by admin

Even though all my projects are in .NET Core now, I rarely get the opportunity to use Identity because of my work with our backend Legacy system. Recently, though, I built a very lightweight SEO Management system for one of our sites (that allows a 3rd party to tweak our page titles, meta tags, etc)...

The Problem As noted, I work with Legacy and often have to bring in variables from the API that must be sustained across session.. (and I’m sure there might be a better way, comment and advise!). Where I am at now, is I query the API and bring in the variables, but how do I...

First Heroku App: Small API in PHP to Talk to .Net Core

by admin

I’ve recently been curious about switching to a time API for my time stamps and removing any dependency the app might have on the server for a timestamp. Upon Googling I found some paid services, some free and of the free ones, I noticed one was hosted on Heroku. I’ve heard of Heroku, but never...

Share Azure Blobs with Search and Tree View

by admin

The idea behind this was to create a nice, easy UI that users can download media files they request often. We moved it to Azure to prevent killing our on-prem bandwidth, but then I had to deal with the flat file structure, etc. The end result was simply: a fast search of all the blobs...

PayTrace: 400 Bad Request For Declined Payment

by admin

TLDR: post IS successful. PayTrace, by design, returns a 400 error, which sets off exceptions in httpresponse. Solution: catch the exception and then continue deserializing your response. I coded a few weeks ago a .NET post to the PayTrace API which helps me demo and test payment by credit card using client side encryption. The…

.NET Core with PayTrace (Mime Type Fix)

This year I am re-writing my previous payment solution (from PHP to .NET) and first on the project list is credit cards. We are using PayTrace and their client-side encryption as to not have to worry about PCI Compliance. I’m to the point where I have a Pre-Payment model with all the fields needed to…
