What you break now, @DrunkVS, @VisualStudio? Just updated to 17.13.1 and message boxes can no longer be canceled by pressing ESC. Extremely annoying and counter productive.

For my Dutch followers: Paul, a dear friend of mine, started a Youtube channel (in Dutch) about .NET and recently posted his first video on using Aspire icw an Angular front-end. Very "aspiring": youtu.be/LfxN6Ni0c_k

This sucks, and I'm unsure how to fix this. Simple Injector depends on .NET Standard 1.3, which has an implicit dependency on (a vulnerable) System_Net_Http package (that SI doesn't use btw). But now I can't compile my solution.

Microsoft rolled out Visual Studio 17.12.3 today, which rolled back the behavior. I seem to be not the only one getting into trouble because of this breaking change.

I wished that Visual Studio's "move type to <typename>.cs" feature would automatically open the newly created file as a tab, such that when pressing CTRL TAB (once), that new file would become the active tab. I almost always need this new file after moving. /cc @mkristensen

Somehow missed that the new @Outlook app doesn't even work when you're offline. Like AT ALL. How is this acceptable?

Since the introduction of Roslyn, undo is unreliable in the VS IDE, even with the latest version. From time to time, when holding CTRL Z for a longer time, VS completely mangles the code in my C# file beyond repair. I have to do git undo changes and start over.

Chaos in MS DI land with the introduction of a breaking change in ActivatorUtilities in .NET 8: github.com/dotnet/docs/issue…. Although the old implementation was really buggy, users now report all kinds of incompatibility issues when upgrading.
