Create a large number of C# applications at once

I'm waiting for Visual Studio 2022!

One of the most important features of Visual Studio 2022 is that it will be 64-bit.

This means that Visual Studio will not run out of memory even when developing large applications.

The above blog also shows the launch of the solution, which includes 1600 projects.

I want to experience the same thing when Visual Studio 2022 is released so that I can create huge solutions at once.

NET Core provides a command line interface (CLI), so you can create solution files and project files all with commands.

Let's just keep on creating them with for statements!

SOLUTION_NAME=HugeDotnetSolution
dotnet new sln -o $SOLUTION_NAME
cd $SOLUTION_NAME

for i in `seq 1000`
do
  APP_NAME=ConsoleApp$i
  dotnet new console -n $APP_NAME --no-restore
  dotnet sln $SOLUTION_NAME.sln add $APP_NAME
done

Enviewer is an extension that lists the configuration values of ASP.NET Core

The middleware in ASP.NET Core is useful because it allows new features to be added without affecting the original behavior.

When developing an application using ASP.NET Core, you may want to know the configuration values registered in Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.IConfiguration .

For example, if you are developing microservices using YAML files.

I have published a NuGet package called Enviewer to help myself. This will make it easier to see the configuration values of IConfiguration.

https://www.nuget.org/packages/Enviewer/

Getting Started

Install the standard Nuget package into your ASP.NET Core application.

Package Manager : Install-Package Enviewer -Version 1.0.0
CLI : dotnet add package Enviewer --version 1.0.0

In the Configure method of Startup.cs, insert middleware.
```
app.UseEnviewer();
```
By accessing /enviewer in your browser, you can view all the environment variables registered in Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.IConfiguration.

I used these documents when I developed my package.
