RamyaSharma describes how the Microsoft Intune team used GitHub Copilot modernization to migrate an enrollment service to .NET 8. Engineer-owned plans, progress records, and dependency mappings preserved context across sessions, reduced repeated work, and kept changes reviewable, while internal library mappings and deployment decisions remained manual.

rustemsoft explains how deterministic compilation, fixed protection seeds, strong-name re-signing, and rename map retention help keep obfuscated .NET releases reproducible and diagnosable. The post outlines a release workflow and verification checklist for matching protected binaries to their build artifacts and decoding production stack traces.

RicardoDuncan rounds up the latest SQL developer tooling updates for VS Code, including new MSSQL extension features, GitHub Copilot schema-aware agent workflows, and Microsoft SQL “skills” for assessing and migrating SQL Server to Azure SQL, plus driver releases aligned with SQL Server 2025.

David Burg shows how to use the Azure Connectors SDK (preview) to call Azure Logic Apps/Power Platform connectors from a .NET 10 Azure Functions app, including creating a Connector Namespace, authorizing an Office 365 connection, wiring up a connector trigger, and deploying securely with managed identity.

stevenbucher announces the Azure Policy Linter as an open-source CLI and .NET library, aimed at catching common Azure Policy definition mistakes before policies are assigned. The post explains how to install and run it, how rule sets and JSON output work, and highlights several high-impact rules from the catalog.

lily-ma introduces Azure Functions managed connectors (public preview) and shows how connector triggers and typed connector clients let functions react to events and call actions across services like SharePoint and Teams without hand-rolling webhook registration or OAuth token handling.

jordanselig explains a new public preview capability in Azure Managed Connectors: sending trigger events directly to Azure App Service apps. The post covers how the App Service destination is configured, how managed-identity callbacks are authenticated with App Service built-in auth (Easy Auth), and includes an end-to-end sample with Bicep and Azure Developer CLI.

Gaurav Seth announces GA for Managed Instance on Azure App Service, aimed at lifting and modernizing legacy .NET Framework apps with minimal or no code changes. The post highlights new GA capabilities like Premium v4 support, zone redundancy, deeper observability, managed identity defaults, governance/security coverage, and IaC options.

daisami shows how to combine Microsoft Agent Framework Harness with the Agent Governance Toolkit (AGT) to enforce tool-call policy for a file-access agent. The walkthrough uses a YAML allow/deny policy, function-call middleware, and audit events so risky operations (write/delete/replace) are blocked at execution time, not just in prompts.

jordanselig explains how to implement truly durable long-running Model Context Protocol (MCP) Tasks on Azure App Service, using a .NET sample that separates “task state” from “work execution” so tasks survive restarts, scale-in events, and dropped client connections.

EldertGrootenboer explains why some .NET Framework WCF Relay listeners start failing against Azure Relay after TLS 1.0/1.1 retirement, and outlines practical fixes ranging from app config changes to code updates and machine-wide registry settings.
