Blogged: Making foreach of an IEnumerable allocation-free, using reflection and dynamic methods
In this post I describe why foreach sometimes allocates, and show how you can use DynamicMethod and Reflection.Emit to go allocation-free

Looking for a proper Roslyn C# MCP server, maybe https://github.com/kooshi/SharpToolsMCP ? (unfortunate that it does not come as a MCP server NuGet package). Any users of related tooling?

Generate an Open Graph Profile Image with C# | by Joseph Guadagno

Hello, #hachyderm! I’m migrating over from mastodon.social, so I guess I should make another #introduction post.
I'm a software developer based in Columbus, OH. I work with and love #dotnet and #webdev. I also love tech, #f1, and generally all nerdy things. 👋

🚀 새 오픈소스 프로젝트: hwplibsharp를 공개합니다!
.NET에서 HWP 파일을 다루고 싶었던 적 있으신가요? 저도 그랬습니다.
지난 3주간 Java 기반 hwplib를 .NET으로 완전히 포팅했습니다.
641개 파일, 50,000줄 이상의 코드, 54번의 커밋으로 .NET Standard 2.0, .NET Framework 4.7.2, .NET 8 이상을 지원하며, 크로스 플랫폼 (Windows, macOS, Linux)까지 고려한 것이 특징입니다.
AI 코딩 어시스턴트와 Visual Studio 2026의 에이전트 기반 디버거 덕분에 혼자서는 엄두도 못 냈을 규모의 프로젝트를 3주 만에 완료할 수 있었습니다.
특히 VS 2026의 디버거가 스스로 브레이크포인트를 설정하고, 변수를 추적하며, 문제의 근본 원인을 찾아주는 경험은 시니어 개발자와 페어 디버깅하는 느낌이었습니다.
이 프로젝트는 neolord0(박성균)님의 hwplib가 없었다면 불가능했습니다. 오픈소스 생태계는 이렇게 서로의 어깨 위에 서서 성장합니다.

How to Redact PDFs in Android Apps Using .NET MAUI

Heya! I just released XenoAtom.Terminal https://github.com/XenoAtom/XenoAtom.Terminal, a modern replacement for System.Console for .NET CLI/TUI apps. 🎉
It keeps a familiar Console-like feel, but adds the terminal-native stuff System.Console doesn't cover well: ANSI/VT styling + markup, unified async input events (keys/resize/mouse/paste), restore-on-dispose scopes (raw/cbreak, alternate screen, hide cursor…), clipboard, a rich ReadLine editor, & testable backends, built on top of XenoAtom.Ansi ✨
There's not only an #Apple Steve. MS has their own stereotypical #DotNet version.
Talking of Steve-like jobs, this particular CEB Distinguished Engineer at #Microsoft sure loves to sprinkle #AI fairydust into disbelieving eyes, with 💫 dizzying enthusiast levels:
> “Our North Star is 1 engineer, 1 month, 1 million lines of code”
Rookie: What should I do?
CEB: We'll keep you out of the wind first few days. 250k LoC is fine.
(CEB = Chronically Excitable Ballmer, awarded to MS chief employees)

Hellooooo Mastodonians!
👋 I'm Gerald, a software engineer at Microsoft on the .NET MAUI team.
When I'm not editing text files, I create some content around #dotnet and #dotnetmaui on my YouTube channel and/or blog and I love to mingle in the community on social media and conferences.
Give me a follow and let's see where Mastodon can take us!
Changing Immutable Collections | by Jon Skeet
https://codeblog.jonskeet.uk/2025/12/31/changing-immutable-collections/
Heya! I just released a new .NET library: XenoAtom.Ansi https://github.com/XenoAtom/XenoAtom.Ansi 🎉
Background story: I built this in a single day with Codex + GPT-5.2 High. It cost me around $30, and it would have taken me weeks to build something comparable by hand. I’ve got other projects queued up that could benefit from the same boost. This is really exciting! 🚀
