    SharePoint Search Console - Now available inside Chrome SP Editor!

    This post is about two of my favorite tools: Chrome SP Editor, and SharePoint Search Query tool. Or maybe better yet, an amalgamation of the two! Description I've mentioned the Chrome SP Editor before, and for a good reason. It's a great tool for any IT Pro or Dev working with SharePoint on a daily basis. It's maintained by a very talented developer, one of the people behind Valo Intranet, Tomi Tavela . If you're using the tool, [let him know on Twitter!]( https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?

    Resolving the Version conflicts for a downgraded .NET Core 2.1/2.2 web app project

    I ran into compatibility issues with .NET Core 2.2 on my Azure Functions projects, so I downgraded my whole solution (an Azure Functions project, a helpers library, and a web application project) to 2.1, and got rid of that particular nuisance. This introduced a few new issues, though - namely, I started getting this error whenever trying to restore nuget packages or build the project: NU1107 Version conflict detected for Microsoft.AspNetCore.Razor.Language. Install/reference Microsoft.

    Easily querying all the database and log file sizes on SQL Server

    Quite often you get the need to simply quickly query all the database sizes on MS SQL Server. Most typically, for me, this need arises when a development machine gets low on disk space, and I need to check if some database's log size has been growing, or if something else is wrong. In my daily work, I rarely encounter this requirement anymore. Azure has almost entirely obliterated the need for such diagnostics, since it's so easy to spin up or scale up new development resources when need be.

    Fixing "An assembly specified in the application dependencies manifest [projectname].deps.json was not found"

    This post describes one no-brainer fix to the error "An assembly specified in the application dependencies manifest [projectname].deps.json was not found." I ran into this while running Update-Database for my ASP.NET Core web project , that's using EntityFrameworkCore 2.1.1 . I hadn't seen this one before, but the error was quite interesting: Error: An assembly specified in the application dependencies manifest (Koskila.[projectname].AzureFunctions.deps.

    What is "fp.js" - and why is it snooping on your SharePoint usage?

    Microsoft is gathering all kinds of telemetric data out of the usage of SharePoint. I ran into an interesting JavaScript file, fp.js , on SharePoint Online doing just that and gathering data. It loads on pretty much every single page request, so it's something you'll bump into any time you open your developer tools! Your customer's IT might even inquire about it - perhaps wanting to disable it for performance or information security gains. But what is fp.js and what does it do?

    Google Plus is shutting down - fix your .NET OAuth flow!

    Google is shutting down their Facebook killer, Google+. While I'm sure there are at least 10 end-users that are sad to see the ill-fated not-that-social-medium go, the implications for Software Developers actually could be far more far-reaching. A lot of implementations of Google's OAuth seem to rely on Google Plus's APIs to get gather information about the user. When Google Plus goes down, so will the APIs .
