Is workflow foundation supported in core CLR? We are planning to use Docker container and deploy in Linux and plan to use workflow foundation features. I could not find the information in https://www.microsoft.com/net/core#windows.
As far as I know, Microsoft has no active plan for porting Workflow Foundation to .NET Core. However, there is a ticket discussing the details.

I am stuck on an issue building my solution containing .NET 6 project and .NET Framework (4.0 and 4.6.1) projects on Azure DevOps build pipeline (with dotnet build and msbuild task).
I cannot use windows-2019 as build agent coz of .NET 6 and unable to make work windows-2022 coz of .NET framework < 4.8
anyone come across this and know how you/they tackled this situation please?
Upgrading .NET Framework option is an expensive approach time-wise.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Azure DevOps : Building Visual Studio Solution containing mixture of .Net 6 and .Net Framework projects
Just as you know, the .NET Core SDK and .NET Framework supported by Windows 2019 are:
And the .NET Core SDK and .NET Framework supported by Windows 2022 areļ¼
So, you could not use the hosted agent Windows 2019 or Windows 2022 to build your mixture projects.
As workaround, you could create your private agent to install the .NET 6 and .NET Framework (4.0 and 4.6.1) SDK on your local machine, if you do not want to upgrade .NET Framework:
Self-hosted Windows agents
Since some of our applications are written in .Net framework 2.0 & 4.5, We've plan to migrate our applications to .Net framework 4.8 and we have used MS enterprise library v3.0 & v5.0 and would like to uplift to enterprise library v6.0 Before going to migrate, need to know will the latest .Net framework 4.8 support enterprise library v6.0.
There is a port of Enterprise Library 6.0 that is supports .Net Core and .Net Standard 2.0.
I have not used that yet, so I cannot tell anything about its quality but based on the Nuget stats it seems tell that people are using these packages.
Also the original Microsoft Enterprise Library source code was published on GitHub so you could recompile the whole project using updated references, not sure how much effort would that cost.
I'm setting up my first pipeline job in azure devops. My C++ application uses the QT framework with qmake to create the make files. It also makes heavy use of the QT framework.
I'd like to use the Microsoft managed ubuntu server. How do I get the QT open source framework and tools installed on the build server? Or, do I have to use a self-managed server?
You can find all the supported Software packages in Ubuntu 1604 image at here. So as per the official docs QT is not supported by the Ubuntu hosted agent,which means you have to use your own custom agent for the build.
I am trying to read some information from TFS 2012 REST API's so are there any REST API's to get the info from TFS
Unfortunately no, the first release of 1.0 API's (that too undocumented started with TFS 2013). This is the official documented release for API versions.
Major API version releases align with Team Foundation Server RTM releases. For example, the 3.0 API set was introduced with Team Foundation Server 2017.
A small number of undocumented version 1.0 APIs existed in Team Foundation Server 2013, but are not supported.
Official Visual Studio documentation for API's here.
I have been looking for solutions to providing source control for my SQL Server 2012 instance. I have looked at Red-Gate's solution but it is outside my price range. Since I already make use of Visual Studio Online (VSO) source control for my .NET projects I was wondering if it was able to provide source control for SQL Server?
I have seen articles (listed below) that discuss using Team Foundation Server (TFS) for source control however I do not have a dedicated TFS server, just VSO.
Use Team Foundation Server (TFS) as your Source Control in SSMS
Using the TFS as a source control repository for SSMS projects
Has anyone made use of VSO to handle source control for their SQL Server database?
I would definitely recommend using Visual Studio Online or Team Foundation Server to hold your database scheme in version control. There is a fairly recent article in Visual Studio Magazine that discusses using the SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) to be able to make that easier for you: Simplifying Development with Visual Studio Database Projects. SSDT is available for any version of Visual Studio including the Community and Express editions.
Redgate was out of my price range too unfortunately...
The SSDT tools for VS are amazing, and i recently started using it for comparing DB versions - and then generating change scripts.
Here's a start point if you want to get into that...
Other Free Alternatives?
Liquibase
gitSQL
Liquibase - i couldn't get my head around but if you can get it working, it may be better for other databases, if you have the requirement to use other databases.
I use gitSQL - it's free up to 20 tables...
If you have more than 20 tables then it costs $40 - which is still so much cheaper than the redgate solution.
gitSQL are also setting up command line options in a future release, so potentially you could run it via a batch file, and set up continuous integration.
gitSQL are also talking about postgres, mysql editions in the future.
