Migrated to Hugo
I have successfully migrated my blog from Jekyll to Hugo. The ability to generate the entire site from
a single executable is very appealing. What pushed me to finally make the move was a security notification from GitHub: apparently
one of the ruby gems Jekyll relies on had a vulnerability. I’m not a ruby developer, and I blog so infrequently that it’s a pain to try
to remember how to update my local ruby environment and keep everything working, so… Hugo it is!
How to use .NET Standard 2.0 NuGet packages with F# Interactive
I have been learning F# recently, and one of the great things about it is the REPL, called F# Interactive.
I ran into a problem when I tried to reference the Newtonsoft.Json NuGet package in an .fsx file, like so:

After many months of doing other things, one of our devs tried to open our solution in the latest version of Visual Studio 2017 (15.7.3), only to be greeted with the following error message:
Project file is incomplete. Expected imports are missing.
Huh?

Disclaimer: This worked for me, but as with all undocumented hacks, proceed at your own risk. There may be a better way to do this, but I couldn’t find it. I trust that your
.rdlcfiles are in source control, and that you can rollback to a previously working version if this causes problems.
For various reasons, I needed to upgrade my RDLC report’s schema version from the default 2008 version to the 2010 version.
Azure WebJob with status "Never Finished"
I was a little confused as to why one of my Azure WebJobs had a status of “Never Finished”:
Ensuring a SQL Server column copies as text to an Excel column
The problem arises when you have a column with character strings that look like numbers. Looking like a number isn’t a problem in and of itself, unless the value starts with the character “0”. Excel will try to treat the column’s values as a number, and therefore eliminate any leading 0s.
Authentication fails with access_denied error while using Microsoft.Owin.Security.Google 3.0.0
Just a quick tip:

Enumerating HttpModules: MVC Edition
About 6 years ago, I wrote a post about Enumerating HttpModules in ASP.NET. On my current project, I once again needed to view the loaded HttpModules, but this time in ASP.NET MVC. The code is very similar; it just has some MVC-isms and has been LINQ-ified now.
Here is the relevant code:
CSC : warning CS1685: The predefined type ‘System.Runtime.CompilerServices.ExtensionAttribute’ is defined in multiple assemblies in the global alias
