Even with the Stay at Home order due to the COVID-19 virus pandemic, we’re still hard at work here at Everleap.
I haven’t had much time to personally explore development in .NET Core until recently now that I’m staying put. I started about a week ago, ran through a couple of Microsoft tutorials, and delved right into it. Immediately, I ran into a roadblock with the connection string because .NET Core doesn’t really make use of the web.config file which I’m used to in .NET Framework. So, something as simple as assigning a connection string to a string using System.Configuration proved difficult.

string connectionString = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ConnectionString"];
That’s because .NET Core allows you to pull configuration information from a variety of sources. After researching the matter further on the web and looking at various solutions involving dependency injection and Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration, I couldn’t really find a working solution for what I wanted to do – which was to simply reference it in a class library project apart from the main project (in other words, I couldn’t get the code to work properly in a manner that I am used to), so I developed one of my own solution and am sharing it with you in this post.

I’m sure you have been keeping informed about COVID-19 and all the precautions being taken across the world. We are no different, and as such we had to make adjustments like many of you.
Last week on March 12th, the day after COVID-19 was declared a pandemic, we asked our staff to start working from home to keep everyone here at Everleap safe and healthy. We always had the flexibility and the systems set up to work remotely, but this will be the first time all of our staff will be doing so.
Yesterday, California has instituted a “stay at home” order which means for the foreseeable future our staff will be working from their homes.
Even though our staff could be working in their pajamas, the level of service you expect from us will not change.
If you have concerns, please feel free to contact us.
Stay safe and stay healthy.
On Thursday (2/6/20) Joe DeBlasio from the Chrome Security Team at Google published a blog post outlining the next steps in their campaign to have webmasters move to securing sites and files using HTTPS.
In current times, I’m sure everyone is maxed out with things to do and it is easy to overlook things. Here at Everleap we use Yammer for internal communication.
A little past 12pm (Pacific Standard) our staff encountered the following:
It appears that the Yammer SSL cert expired. We checked the Office Service Status page on saw this:
After about 10 minutes, the Microsoft team reacted and updated the status page.
Checking back with Yammer – the service was back up for our staff!
We witnessed quick reaction from the Microsoft staff.
This type of thing can happen to the best of us. So use this as an example to make sure to keep track of when your SSL certs expire. It’s best to use a contact email address that you check regularly and put reminders early enough in your calendars so you have plenty of time to take care of any renewals.

As the holidays approach, online stores will get more active. For online ecommerce success, customer communication is a vital part of the customer experience. If your customers have a question about any product, they should be able to communicate with you and if any customers places an order on your site, your store site should send an email notification to the customer right away with order details. In this post I’ll show you where and how to configure your email settings.
