FileStream

The System.IO.FileStream type has been rewritten for .NET 6 to provide better performance and reliability on Windows. Now, FileStream never blocks when created for asynchronous I/O on Windows.

Profile-guided optimization

Profile-guided optimization (PGO) is where the JIT compiler generates optimized code in terms of the types and code paths that are most frequently used. .NET 6 introduces dynamic PGO. Dynamic PGO works hand-in-hand with tiered compilation to further optimize code based on additional instrumentation that's put in place during tier 0. Dynamic PGO is disabled by default, but you can enable it with the DOTNET_TieredPGO environment variable.

Crossgen2

.NET 6 introduces Crossgen2, the successor to Crossgen, which has been removed. Crossgen and Crossgen2 are tools that provide ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation to improve the startup time of an app. Crossgen2 is written in C# instead of C++, and can perform analysis and optimization that weren't possible with the previous version.

Arm64 support

The .NET 6 release includes support for macOS Arm64 (or "Apple Silicon") and Windows Arm64 operating systems, for both native Arm64 execution and x64 emulation.

Hot reload

Hot reload is a feature that lets you modify your app's source code and instantly apply those changes to your running app.

C# 10 and templates

C# 10 includes innovations such as global using directives, file-scoped namespace declarations, and record structs.

System.Text.Json APIs

Many improvements have been made in System.Text.Json in .NET 6, such that it is now an "industrial strength" serialization solution.

Writeable DOM

A new, writeable document object model (DOM) has been added, which supplements the pre-existing read-only DOM.

ASP.NET 5 and MIDDLEWARE

ASP.NET 5 has been largely rewritten from the ground up, and incorporates some radical changes when compared with previous versions of ASP.NET. One of the biggest changes is in the HTTP Pipeline. This article looks at how those changes impact the design and registration of plug and play components that used to be represented by HttpModules. full blog 

How to retry jquery ajax failure request

MAUI to replace Xamarin

NET Multi-platform App UI (MAUI) NET Multi-platform App UI (MAUI) is a multi-platform technology for developing mobile (iOS and Android) and desktop (Windows and Mac) applications. NET MAUI is an evolution of Xamarin. Forms, they have most of their features in common. You can get almost all things in . NET MAUI that Xamarin has, like controls, layouts, Shell, gestures, templates, and cross-platform APIs for device features. Disadvantages It is a new product that has just been released and, although the released version is stable, some essential controls such as maps are still missing. Does Maui replace WPF? Building a WPF app is not supported in MAUI - as noted, they are two different UI implementations which both run on . Net 6. WPF is Windows specific, while MAUI is cross-platform. Compared to Flutter Flutter apps tend to be smaller and faster than those built with . NET MAUI. This is partly due to the small size of the compiled code. Overall, Flutter provides a more efficient and fl...
