Motivation Migrating something to .NET Core (while stuck with .NET Framework for a while due to surrounding platform dependency constraints) sounds intriguing and challenging at the same time. Our main motivator for the migration has been performance improvements, performance improvements and upcoming performance improvements seen throughout .NET Core. This blog post will walk you through steps we did for migration for one our web jobs over to .NET Core. As seen from pull request statistics - it's actually more removal that adding new code. Throwaway always feels good. Path wasn't…

It's been a while since last Episerver DbLocalizationProvider package update. Fortunately this release includes couple bug fixes delivered by amazing developer community and also few new features. What's included in this release: "Transient" referenced projects are now properly respected and scanned (#github/28) Resource import in Episerver was not polite and threw up when importing not active/disabled languages (#github/30) Duplicate keys are ignored and first one is taken during MigrationTool process (#pull/25) There are also some other smaller bug fixes, but who really reads release…

Later realized that there is actually not so much to do to add support for Asp.Net Mvc (.NET Framework) applications and later also for .NET Core applications. This results into: packages for EPiServer applications packages for Asp.Net Mvc applications packages for Asp.Net Core applications abstract/core packages containing only general purpose…

There are sometimes moments when you just need to take deep inhale and add backward support for apps that most probably you will hardly see selected in "File > New Project". We do have some projects still based on "pure" Asp.Net Mvc that need client-side localization. Therefore adding support for this type of apps sounds like feature with "must have" label. At least for now. This applies to v5.5.1 and forward. However, if you are targeting .NET Core - support is…

Starting with v5.4.1 version of the LocalizationProvider package for .NET Core, it's now possible to work with translations also on client-side.…
