As a solo remote developer with never enough time to research, I find your videos incredibly useful. Thanks Milan!

[@MilanJovanovicTech]

I'm glad you find value in my videos 😁

[@bilallilla3990]

Mentor = Milan's videos.

[@dev.gustavo]

This channel is worth a million dollars!

[@MilanJovanovicTech]

Where can I sell it for that much? 😅 Just kidding, I enjoy this too much...

[@AdamsterDomi]

Great video, if you could do more this type of videos, of how things should be in production, this would be great, cause youtube is full of tutorials how to do something, but only covering the "hello-world" part, and not the how things should be in long term perspective, and of course thank you, for this one

[@MilanJovanovicTech]

Long term, what I just showed is pretty stable. And most of the stuff I show is "production ready" if I dare say that

[@compman73]

I usually watch copule of resources for each topic from different developers and I pick the best or mix top 2 or 3 for my projects. Yours is one of the best to follow I like the way you organize your code Thank you so much Milan🌹

[@MilanJovanovicTech]

Thank you so much, Alireza, I'm glad my videos are helpful to you!

[@phw1009]

I have been thorugh quiet a lot of youtuber. but you are the best Csharp tutor.

[@MilanJovanovicTech]

Wow, thanks! I'm honestly humbled :)

[@ertackosucu]

short, clear and perfect explanation, thank you

[@MilanJovanovicTech]

Glad you liked it!

[@SvendKoustrup]

Really consice video, great stuff! Could you make a "part two" for when you have been developing in this development environment, and then needs to publish it, how to 'shred' all the environment stuff?

[@MilanJovanovicTech]

Good idea!

[@SvendKoustrup]

@@MilanJovanovicTech Looking forward to it ;-)

[@federicogauna738]

Clear and concise. Thanks for sharing Milan!

[@MilanJovanovicTech]

Glad it was helpful!

[@kodindoyannick5328]

Very clear. Thank you Milan for these best partices

[@MilanJovanovicTech]

You're most welcome!

[@ignacioinnovo5308]

Very useful video Milan! Thank you very much! Keep working like this, you are awesome!

[@MilanJovanovicTech]

Thanks, will do!

[@zimpoooooo]

Giving a like for showing the four things in the thumbnail :p

[@MilanJovanovicTech]

Gotta deliver on the promise 😁

[@justtomi-qp8qj]

Compact and nicely crafted! Thanks for sharing!

[@MilanJovanovicTech]

Thank you! Cheers!

We use 3/4 on our project, not bad :) We don't use docker at the moment, there's no need. But kudos for making the video, these are some nice practices to do to keep the code quality high.

[@MilanJovanovicTech]

As I said, I mostly use it for a stable local dev environment across the team. Although we do run containers in production.

[@EduardoSpaki]

setting up dockerfile into project, when you have projects depencies among projects in the solution, can be trick... the way I found to avoid problems is setting docker file out of project, in the solution root folder

[@MilanJovanovicTech]

Ah, nice suggestion

[@davearkley7014]

Nice Milan, Perhaps a follow up video on how to build a VS template which would automate this

[@MilanJovanovicTech]

Great idea!

[@roberteru25]

I prefer cli template, I already did for a ddd codebase

[@Abushalabi]

Amazing tips Milan. Thanks for sharing

[@MilanJovanovicTech]

My pleasure!

[@CRBarchager]

Very nice setup, Milan. I thnk I'll introduce the editorconfig section to my team. I use much of the same setup already though we're not at the Docker stage yet but it's in the works. We use over own logging package but it is using Serilog underneath to log to ElastickSearch. Sonar is also in place but as a extention in VS. I might add it to our Templates when creating new projects.

[@MilanJovanovicTech]

Pretty cool! I hope some of this can help your team write more consistent code :)

[@ilyas7610]

Amazing please make video on PDF and Excel reports generation

[@MilanJovanovicTech]

I doubt that's an exciting topic 😅

[@xBalaDeCanhaox]

Hey Milan how are you? Assuming your editorconfig file is better than the one I use ate work, is there any chance you share it with us ? Any rule you wouldn't live without? lol Thanks.

[@MilanJovanovicTech]

Here's one: gist.github.com/m-jovanovic/417b7d0a641d7dd7d1972550fba298db

[@xBalaDeCanhaox]

@@MilanJovanovicTech Thank you so much Milan!!

With editorconfig there might be issues on a team, since Visual Studio, dotnet cli, VS + ReSharper, and Rider, might read the rules very different. At least it used to be like that. The fix is then to do this analysis in the build pipelines, and use that as a truth for the rules.

[@Lammot]

Main issue is that code styling rules can have severity set up in 2 places: by IDEXXXX code and by the option itself. I believe rider tends to prefer the options while build is supposed to reference IDEXXXX. Maybe VS also prefers IDE codes as well. Other than that, it seems to work good enough in any editor thanks to the fact that analyzers are part of the compiler.

[@MilanJovanovicTech]

It would definitely be strange if they read the same rules differently

[@andrewstevens7764]

I would happily drop stylecop as ours is conflicting with the editor config and the editor config seems to be able to do most of the stuff needed

[@MilanJovanovicTech]

There are some code quality checks that the editorconfig doesn't cover

[@mohamed-hassan-]

Thanks for this fruitful video

[@MilanJovanovicTech]

It's my pleasure

[@Tymonello]

Does this SonarAnalyzer nuget package do the same thing as SonarLint extension to Visual Studio?

[@MilanJovanovicTech]

Kind of, but it's not a linter

[@ghkpr]

Thanks for the awesome tutorials. Do I have to add the same editorconfig to each project, or can I define it somehow in the solution level?

[@MilanJovanovicTech]

Solution level will cover all the projects inside And if you have one on project level, it overrides the solution level one

[@ghkpr]

@@MilanJovanovicTech Great, thanks! :)

[@stoic2454]

Also what are you view on using regions, i really like it coz segregates my code but ppl comsider them antipattern i just dont get it

[@MilanJovanovicTech]

I have a disdain for regions - they obscure code and makes it less readable

[@zagoskintoto]

A totally random question. How do you configure the colors for the text in files like your .editorconfig? mine is all white whereas yours has green comments, recognizes the blue config name and the text to the right as white.

[@MilanJovanovicTech]

I probably just used a different editor in VS

[@alexmadnix]

Tnanks for Milan^^

[@MilanJovanovicTech]

You're welcome!

[@hirenvadher2610]

Thanks for creating this. Just a request If you could provide us the.editorconfig file, it would be helpful.

[@MilanJovanovicTech]

gist.github.com/m-jovanovic/417b7d0a641d7dd7d1972550fba298db

[@Eddyi0202]

Is there some advantage for using Sonar nuget vs IDE extension?

[@MilanJovanovicTech]

Also works in build pipelines, where you don't have an IDE

[@GreenLedger]

Hi Milan, how can we add custom rules in editorconfig. Such as “should have one line space between methods”, “should not have unwanted spaces”

[@MilanJovanovicTech]

I'd start by exploring the MSFT docs for that, I don't know it by heart

[@abdulnaserramadan37]

Great video, thank you.

[@MilanJovanovicTech]

Glad you liked it!

[@alexandrelima2495]

Great video! Which VS theme are you using?

[@MilanJovanovicTech]

VS dark theme + R# syntax highlighting

[@mohammedahmedbadee9846]

Thanks Milan, appreciate it, but I think this boilerplate should be automated with project creation

[@MilanJovanovicTech]

Agreed, that'd be great

[@mrohailiqbal]

really useful info. Thanks

what do i do for code-styles like blank lines new lines indentation, i’m sick of my team mates bombarding my pr with with these styles

[@PanzerFaustFurious]

Csharpier is great for this imo

[@MilanJovanovicTech]

Here's the extension for what the above comment references: marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=csharpier.CSharpier

Perfect 👍

[@MilanJovanovicTech]

[@nanvlad]

What about Roslynator instead of SonarAnalyzer?

[@MilanJovanovicTech]

I haven't tried it, but seems to be the same thing more or less. What's your experience?

[@nanvlad]

@@MilanJovanovicTech I didn't use SonarAnalyzer, just tried Roslynator recently. Comparing to the empty list of project warnings in VS code, I got 1k+ immediatly. Most of them were syntactic and annoying, but some were useful. It suggested to use latest c# features, one of them rewrote my entire function to a small switch expression... another one suggested to use Span for performance.

[@Harryizback]

Why do you use Visual studio and not Rider IDE?? Why????

[@MilanJovanovicTech]

I can

[@tonym5857]

Nice ...
