𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗙𝗶𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗗𝗧𝗢𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗖# 🚀 If you’ve been building applications in C#, you’ve worked with Data Transfer Objects (DTOs). They’re the glue between APIs, services, and databases moving data without unnecessary behavior. For years, we used classes. It worked… but often came with extra boilerplate and mutable state we didn’t need. Then came C# 9 with record types and DTOs got a serious upgrade. 💡 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜𝘀 𝗮 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱? A record is a special kind of reference type designed for data models. ✅ Immutable by default – safer, predictable data ✅ Value-based equality – two records with the same values are equal ✅ Concise syntax – define your DTO in one short declaration In short → Cleaner. Safer. Easier. 🔥 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗦𝗼 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗗𝗧𝗢𝘀 1️⃣ Encourages immutability DTOs shouldn’t change after creation. Records make that the default. 2️⃣ Equality that makes sense No need to write custom equality checks — it’s built-in. 3️⃣ Less noise Fewer lines of code = more focus on the actual data. ⚠ 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗺 You need to modify DTOs after creation You’re on C# 8 or earlier Your team prefers explicit, verbose models ✅ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆  • DTOs are about moving data cleanly and safely.  • Records are tailor-made for that mission. 📖 𝐅𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dUG25u4r If you’re still using verbose classes for DTOs… try records in your next project.

HttpClient is a powerful tool in .NET, but there's more to it than just making a request. The real value comes from using it the right way. That’s where IHttpClientFactory comes in. It gives you a clean way to create and configure clients. You can: • Register named clients with custom settings • Use typed clients that encapsulate logic and improve testability • Add resilience policies like retries and timeouts with ease I usually go with typed clients. They help keep things organized and are easy to test. I put together a guide that explains when and how to use each option: https://lnkd.in/eYBc4NMW How are you using HttpClient in your projects?

Are we confusing complexity with sophistication in our .NET projects? 🤔 Too often, developers adopt patterns or libraries like MediatR just because they look "professional" or trendy. Here's what actually happens: → Your debugging sessions become treasure hunts through abstraction layers → New team members spend hours just understanding the request flow → Simple CRUD operations now require 5 files instead of 1 Before adding ANY library, ask: "What specific problem does this solve that I actually have?" MediatR shines in complex domains with intricate business rules. But for most CRUD applications? You're trading simplicity for imaginary sophistication. Do you really need it for every application? Not always.

Learned something cool today: Direct PDF printing from web apps! During a demo, a customer asked: “Can it silently print from the APEX application?” That’s usually tricky since browsers require user interaction for security reasons. The Challenge: POS and kiosk systems need silent printing Web apps usually rely on extensions or companion apps The Solution: Chrome Kiosk Mode + a simple JavaScript approach that: - Generates PDFs server-side (using ReportFactory here) - Prints directly without user interaction - No extensions or extra software required - Runs seamlessly in kiosk environments Sometimes the simplest solutions are right in front of us! The Chrome --kiosk-printing flag + smart JavaScript can solve what feels like a complex problem. Perfect for retail, manufacturing, or any environment where automated printing is critical. Check out the docs and try it yourself using our hosted demo! https://lnkd.in/g3ZMQfeY Maathra Technology and Consultancy Pvt Ltd Johnson Joseph #OracleAPEX #orclAPEX #maathra #reportfactory #printing

Party Objects are here on Sui mainnet! Think of them as a new type of object that blends: 🔒 Control of owned objects 📑 Consensus versioning of shared objects That means objects you can move between fastpath & consensus, with built-in versioning - and soon, multi-owner + granular permissions.
