Switching between DevOps Azure Artifacts and local Project references during development and debugging

Stumbled on a nice extension today for VS in the marketplace which allows simplified switching of references between NuGet package feeds and local references.

If like me, you have multiple feeds for your packages via DevOps Artifacts, the Nuget Gallery, MyGet Feeds and personal feeds, it can sometimes be a challenge to switch between references to debug or extend some functionality.

Windows Azure Storage Emulator failed to install

CodeProject Windows Azure Storage Emulator failed to install When attempting to install a new version of the Azure Storage Emulator either as a separate installation package or automatically as part of an Azure SDK update, you may run into an error message which states the storage emulator has failed to install. This can occur using the Web Platform Installer (WebPI), NuGet Package Manager or when performing the install manually. Below is the message received using the WebPI.

Debugging Python and Iron Python using Visual Studio

Now Python is a first class citizen since the release of Visual Studio 2017 and can be configured directly from the Installation IDE, below are a few settings worth bookmarking for your next python integration project. Debugging Python One of the first things you are going to want to do is step through your code when using Visual Studio, particularly as the language is dynamic and inspection of local and global scope soon becomes necessary. One thing to note is that if you start from a native python project, this is all wired up for you but if you are using .Net to call python modules or want to support an older python version, such as 2.7, you will soon see that breakpoints are not being hit due to symbols not being loaded. Enable Just My Code To distinguish user code from non-user code in .net, Just My Code looks at two things: PDB (Program Database) files, and Optimization Program Database A .pdb file, otherwise known as a symbol file, maps the identifiers

Azure DevOps Authorisation

Managing whether an identity has access to a given service, feature, function, object, or method in Azure DevOps comes down to authorisation. Fortunately, by default, the DevOps permissions are set in such a way to enable you to focus on the job at hand, DevOps. Loosely translated this means 'don't get in my way'. My experience is that the Azure DevOps team have done a good job at this, enabling you to crack on developing, building, testing and releasing without much hindrance. Working with relaxed permissions is great when you are the owner and possibly either a one man band or small team but as soon as we need to consider larger teams, varying roles with approvals and degrees of access, authorisation becomes a real concern. I was recently involved in a project utilising offshore developers where trust was a concern and a number of specific teams handling specific roles needed to come together to approve a set of pipelines.
