.Net Core Dependency Injection - Quick Use Guide

Hi all, we all know now, .Net Core supports Dependency Injection (DI) out of the box. Ok, so let's see how to use it in this quick use guide. For test this out let's create 2 projects (give names as you like); Worker service project - I called it MailSender Class library - and I named this as MailManager Let's use the DI: 1. Create a class in MailManager  I created a class called MailConfigurator.cs Create a method called GetData inside that class. 2. Open the Program.cs of your Worker Service project. Then lets define the scope and register our dependency in the dependency container: public static IHostBuilder CreateHostBuilder(string[] args) =>             Host.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)                 .ConfigureServices((hostContext, services) =>                 {                     services.AddSingleton<MailCo...

Today when I completed my work, I just curious how many lines of code that I have wrote so far. So I search how to calculate the lines of code and I found Visual Studio Code Metrics: A very valuable information source about your code and your solution. So I went little more deeper to understand what all these counts mean. And I was so interested with my findings and I thought I have to share these with you. I think this is a very cool and important feature of Visual Studio. So how to view these numbers? Simple, just navigate to Analyze  →  Calculate Code Metrics  And it will give you some numbers according the number of project that you have in your solution. In my case there are 8 project and here are my results: Ok, let's see what are these calculations and what are these numbers are and most importantly what are those mean to you. Maintainability Index This index shows how easy or hard to maintain or modify your code. This will give a number between 0-10...
