WebSocket Support for .NET Core

Full WebSocket support is coming with .NET Standard 2.0, which has now been delayed until Q3. In the meantime, there are still a few options to work with...

• Third Party
  • Client - WebSocket4Net - Beta
  • Server - Fleck - Pending PR
• Microsoft
  • Client - System.Net.WebSockets.Client - v4.3.0
  • Server - Microsoft.AspNetCore.WebSockets.Server - v0.1.0

If you want to use Microsoft.AspNetCore.WebSockets.Server, I have added a middle ware wrapper that feel a lot more like Fleck:

• Tact.AspNetCore.WebSockets.Server

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app)

{

    app.UseWebSockets();

    app.UseWebSocketHandler("test", connection =>

    {

        // Register your listeners here

        connection.OnMessage = m =>

        {

            if (m == "hi")

                connection.SendAsync("bye");

        };

    });

}

Enjoy,

Run .NET Core xUnit tests from ReSharper in VS2015

Visual Studio 2017 is literally only a few days away from release; so it might be a little late, but I finally figured out how to run .NET Core xUnit tests from ReSharper in VS2015! Good News: If you can't upgrade to VS2017 right away, then at least you can still run your unit tests!

Just make sure that the following is included in your project.json file (with the appropriate runtime):

{

  "testRunner": "xunit",

  "dependencies": {

    "dotnet-test-xunit": "2.2.0-preview2-build1029",

    "xunit": "2.2.0"

  },

  "frameworks": {

    "netcoreapp1.0": {

      "imports": "dnxcore50"

    }

  },

  "runtimes": {

    "win10-x64": {}

  }

}

Enjoy,
Tom
