How to use Linux in Windows 10 with the help of WSL(Windows Subsystem for Linux)

-

 Linux is one of the popular Operating Systems for developing applications, However most of us have Systems/Laptops running in Windows. Microsoft came up with a way to use Linux shell in Windows 10 with the help of Windows Subsystem for Linux. Its similar to a virtual machine but its very light weight. It can be used for some testing or development activities but not for production.

Now we are going to see a step by step approach towards Setting up Windows Subsystem for Linux in Windows 10.

Steps To Setup WSL In Windows 10

Step 1:

Press on Windows Button and Search for "Turn Windows Features On/Off" as shown in the figure below.

Turn Windows Feature On/Off


Step 2:

Launch the Dialog for Windows Features and Enable Windows Subsystem for Linux as shown in the figure below:

Windows Subsystem for Linux Enable

Step 3:

Click on Ok after selecting the option and Reboot the Machine

Step 4:

Once the machine boots up now we can install the distribution package that needs to be run in WSL, For that go to Microsoft Store and Select the Ubuntu Package as shown in the figure below.

Note: I have selected the package 20.04 you can select the previous package 18.04 also

Ubuntu Package

Step 5:

Once the distribution is installed you can see the installed distribution in the System by searching for "Ubuntu" and just as we are launching an application it will launch a command Shell for Ubuntu as shown in the below image.

Creating RESTful Minimal WebAPI in .Net 6 in an Easy Manner! | FastEndpoints

  We might have developed Web APIs using MVC Controllers where we used to give Route Path Attributes to the Controller and  to identify individual methods we used to provide Actions in the Route. With the Controller approach we need to write boiler plate code in separate files which deals with the Configuration of the Web Service. Those who have worked in Node js would be aware of how easy it is to create a Web API and expose different Endpoints without the need of so much boiler plate code. Here we are going to discuss of similar approach for creating a Web API in .Net6 using FastEndpoints. Under the hood it uses Minimal API concept which tries to reduce the dependencies required to achieve a particular task. This approach is more suitable in the case of Microservice Architecture where we want to keep the dependencies to minimum. Must Read : Fluent API and Data Annotations What are FastEndpoints? FastEndpoints is a Framework compatible with .Net 6 which allows to build a...

Introduction Heap memory corruption is a critical issue that can lead to application crashes, data loss, and even security vulnerabilities. Detecting and addressing heap memory corruption early is crucial for maintaining the stability and security of Windows applications. In this blog post, we will explore how to detect heap memory corruption using two powerful tools: DebugDiag and AppVerifier. Must Read : synchronization in C++20 . Understanding Heap Memory Corruption Heap memory is a dynamically allocated memory space used by applications to store data at runtime. Heap memory corruption occurs when an application writes data beyond the allocated memory boundaries , leading to memory leaks, crashes, and unpredictable behavior. Detecting such corruption manually can be time-consuming and complex, making automated tools invaluable for identifying and diagnosing these issues. What is PageHeap? PageHeap specifically focuses on detecting heap-related problems, like heap overflows, heap und...

How to dynamically add Properties in C# .NET?

There are certain situations where we have to create object dynamically with properties added to the object dynamically. Data related to these properties may be coming in from external sources like a file or from any other serialized format. We can achieve this with the help of reflection, but it is bit complex and should have some prior knowledge of Reflection. What is meant by Dynamic Creation of Properties in c#? Dynamic creation of properties means at the time of writing the code, programmer is not aware of the properties which can be part of the object and its value. For Example there may be some data which needs to be read from say xml file, In this case there should be some organized way by which we can represent the data, This can be in the form of a object. Content of this object and the properties cannot be deduced while writing the application, it needs to be constructed from the xml file which is read when the application runs. Expando Object Expando Object comes to the res...
