Charles is a tool that enables to view all HTTP(S) traffic between the current system and the Internet. Here I will show how to setup Charles to catch the localhost traffic with the example of ASP.NET Core and the EPiServer Foundation project.

Debugging multi-threaded applications might be challenging. Setting a breakpoint in a multi-threaded context might be run multiple times, making the debugging process difficult. However, JetBrains Rider allows you to make one simple trick to debug only a single thread for a certain breakpoint.

When it comes to debugging, there might be a case when the load of calls to the breakpoint is significant. Or, we want to log some data while debugging. In this case, it is useful to do not suspend the execution and evaluate the breakpoint condition and log the result (In JetBrains Rider).

In some cases, there are classes with constructors that are impossible to mock with proxy-based mocking frameworks (such as Moq, FakeItEasy, NSubstitute, etc). In this article, I will present how to create a test for class that is impossible to mock.

Is catch the same as catch(Exception)? Not exactly. There is a small subtle nuance that causes catch(Exception) to be not hit.
