Visual Studio 2011 Beta Feature 3

Image
Introduction Last Month Microsoft has announced the latest version of Visual Studio 2011 Beta and I have installed it on my PC and exploring it. In this post I will explore Popup Color Box and Opacity feature in Visual Studio 2011. Color selection is always been bit difficult for web developers. In VS 11, this brand new feature look cool. I just typed background-color or color while styling my web page and IDE displayed color selection pop-up. One more cool feature I found in this new IDE, that is 'Opacity' option in color pop-up. I remember the days when I frequently used opacity in Expression Blend and Windows Forms. And now, Microsoft enhanced ASP.NET and added this after long wait. In above image, when I slided opacity option, I got "rgba" (Red, Green, Blue, Opacity) = (36,17,17,0.48). And look at the output in browser, on backgound image you can see a <div> tag that has opaque color, awesome.

Migrating database from ASP.NET Identity to ASP.NET Core Identity

Image
As you know ASP.NET Core Identity (table structure) is different from what we had earlier in ASP.NET Identity. Actually the identity system which we have today with .NET Core is very mature and continuously evolved be it ASP.NET Membership, ASP.NET Identity 1, ASP.NET Identity 2 and now ASP.NET Core Identity. Recently I had to migrate few application to ASP.NET Core and similar its identity database. Because the table schema is changed, i had to re-think and create migration script which I would like to share with you today. It is very simple and easy, just three step and I had everything ready: STEP 1 : Change name of existing tables STEP 2 : Create ASP.NET Core Identity tables STEP 3 : Migrate data from old tables (ASP.NET Identity) to new tables (ASP.NET Core Identity) Script:  https://gist.github.com/itorian/c699e8534b392a6c726ec66c48100072 You should also watch my video, where I demoed migration.
