Unlock Tool .net

[Tancredo Dori]

Thetool binaries are installed in a default directory that's added to the PATH environment variable. You can invoke the tool from any directory on the machine without specifying its location. One version of a tool is used for all directories on the machine.

The tool binaries are installed in a location that you specify. You can invoke the tool from the installation directory, by providing the directory with the command name, or by adding the directory to the PATH environment variable. One version of a tool is used for all directories on the machine.

The tool binaries are installed in a default directory. You can invoke the tool from the installation directory or any of its subdirectories. Different directories can use different versions of the same tool.

The .NET CLI uses manifest files to keep track of tools that are installed as local to a directory. When the manifest file is saved in the root directory of a source code repository, a contributor can clone the repository and invoke a single .NET CLI command to install all of the tools listed in the manifest files.

If you want to install a tool for local access only (for the current directory and subdirectories), you must add the tool to a tool manifest file. To create a tool manifest file, run the dotnet new tool-manifest command:

This command creates a manifest file named dotnet-tools.json under the .config directory. To add a local tool to the manifest file, use the dotnet tool install command and omit the --global and --tool-path options, as shown in the following example:

You typically add a local tool to the root directory of the repository. After you check in the manifest file to the repository, developers who check out code from the repository get the latest manifest file. To install all of the tools listed in the manifest file, they run the dotnet tool restore command:

The command that you use to invoke a tool might be different from the name of the package that you install. To display all of the tools currently installed on the machine for the current user, use the dotnet tool list command:

If the command begins with the prefix dotnet-, an alternative way to invoke the tool is to use the dotnet command and omit the tool command prefix. For example, if the command is dotnet-doc, the following command invokes the tool:

To invoke a local tool, you must use the dotnet command from within the installation directory. You can use the long form (dotnet tool run ) or the short form (dotnet ), as shown in the following examples:

For a local tool, the SDK looks in the current directory and parent directories to find the first manifest file containing the package ID. If there's no such package ID in any manifest file, the SDK adds a new entry to the closest manifest file.

We actually use a combination of NAnt and MSBuild with CruiseControl. NAnt is used for script flow control and calls MSBuild to compile projects. After the physical build is triggered, NAnt is used to publish the individual project build outputs to a shared location.

I am not sure this is the best process. I think many of us are still looking for a great build tool. One promising thing I heard recently on .NET Rocks, episode 362, is James Kovac's PSake, a build system he based entirely on PowerShell. It sounds really promising since what you can do with PowerShell is fairly limitless in theory.

It's pretty simple though once you understand the concepts and all the dependencies are handled automatically. I should note that we use Visual Studio project files, which have a lot of logic built into them, but this system allows people to build almost identically both within the Visual Studio IDE or at the command line and still gives you the flexibility of adding things to the canonical build like the xUnit testing you see in the script above.

Then there are the targets, which most people familiar with make, nAnt or MSBuild should be able to follow. If you call the Build target, it calls __Compile, __Deploy and __Test. The Clean target calls MSBuild on all the project files for them to clean up their directories and then the global deployment directory is deleted. Rebuild calls Clean and then Build.

There is another new build tool (a very intelligent wrapper) called NUBuild. It's lightweight, open source and extremely easy to setup and provides almost no-touch maintenance. I really like this new tool, and we have made it a standard tool for our continuous build and integration of our projects (we have about 400 projects across 75 developers). Try it out.

We use MSBuild, because we started with Visual Studio 2005 (now Visual Studio 2008), and MSBuild was already "built in" to the SDK - there is less maintenance on the build server. It's a NAnt clone, really - both tools are infinitely flexible in that they let you create custom build tasks in code, and both have a decent set of community build tasks already created.

I have used both MSBuild and NAnt, and I much prefer MSBuild, mainly because it requires a lot less configuration by default. Although you can over-complicate things and load MSBuild down with a lot of configuration junk too, at its simplest, you can just point it at a solution/project file and have it go which, most of the time, for most cases, is enough.

Using a dynamic scripting language like Python, BOO, Ruby, etc. to create and maintain build scripts might be a good alternative to an XML based one like NAnt. (They tend to be cleaner to read than XML.)

There are over 300 tasks included in this library including tasks for: creating websites, creating application pools, creating ActiveDirectory users, running FxCop, configuring virtual servers, creating zip files, configuring COM+, creating folder shares, installing into the GAC, configuring SQL Server, configuring BizTalk 2004 and BizTalk 2006, etc.

I created a .net core 7 project using the entity framework core. Well, at that time I installed .net core 6 so my global ef tool was still version 6, then I updated to version 7. Here I had a problem, it said that I had not installed the framework. I decide to uninstall dotnet. Then I reinstalled sdk 7 and global ef tools. And new error appear. I try reinstall many times. But still like this, now I can't use the ef tool.

Upgrade your app to the latest .NET versions with Upgrade Assistant right from Visual Studio. Right click on your project file and let the tool guide you through the process. The tool will choose the best upgrade type for your application and upgrade your project file and your code to accommodate some breaking changes and to use newer features.

AWS Deploy Tool for .NET is an interactive tool for the .NET CLI and the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio that helps deploy .NET applications with minimum AWS knowledge, and with the fewest clicks or commands.

The AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio exposes the same deployment functionality via the Publish to AWS feature. For information about toolkit versions and using the feature, see Publish to AWS in the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio User Guide.

Azure Migrate application and code assessment tool for .NET allows you to assess .NET source code, configurations, and binaries of your application to identify potential issues and opportunities when migrating an app to Azure. It helps to discover any issues your application might have when it is ported to Azure and improve the performance, scalability, and security by suggesting modern, cloud-native solutions.

Once you run the analysis, the tool will show you a report of all possible things that you need to check or change to ensure your application works properly once it is moved from on-premises to Azure.

It discovers application technology usage through static code analysis of your code and its dependencies. It will also allow you to jump to a line that requires your attention, address issues and mark them as fixed, save the current state of the issues and the report so you or your coworkers can start exactly where you left off and effectively collaborate. The tool will give you an estimate of how much effort each issue will take to fix as well as giving estimates for the components of your apps and whole projects. And it will provide detailed guidance on how to fix the issues and connect you to the Microsoft documentation.

Once you have installed the Visual Studio extension, you are ready to analyze your application in Visual Studio. You can do so by right clicking on any of the projects or a solution in the Solution Explorer window and selecting Re-platform to Azure.

If you are selecting to create a new report, on the next screen you can choose which projects in your solution you would like to analyze. Web projects will be pre-selected for you and you can change the selection by checking or unchecking the boxes next to the projects. When the tool runs, it also analyzes the dependencies your selected projects have.

The report will show you information about the number of projects analyzed, issues and incidents and an evaluation of how much effort each incident, issue and project take to be fixed. Incidents are grouped by categories and severity. There are different views that allow you to see the incidents, get help on how to fix them, jump to your code where those incidents occur and so on.

Currently application identifies potential issues for migration to Azure App Service, AKS, and Azure Container Apps. In the future the tool might have an ability to set the target explicitly and filter the exact issues and recommendations for each target separately.

Another big feature that we are currently working on is to get you a more curated assessment based on the Azure target you choose. We plan to add the ability to set the target before the report and build the report based on that target.

"I just received my Vakra and let me just say WOW! I had high expectations when ordering this blade but you completely blew them out of the water. I initially decided on buying a Zombie Tools blade for the sheer durability I have seen in reviews of your products. After handling it and seeing it up close I can see this is just as much a work of art as it is a useful tool. The craftsmanship and attention to detail is very much appreciated and I cant wait to order my next blade from you!"
