Hi Les, I have followed your course about the entity framework and it was awesome. And I have a future project with mini APi. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Hello LJackson. Tks a lot for the video!
I'm a new dev VS-C# guy 🧑🏻‍💻😄. I have 2 question about VS Minimal API:
1 - How usually do you run in production mode, the minimals api? as a windows service to run in brackground?
2 - Is it possible turn a VS minimal api as a Windows Service since a Visual Studio and use a Setup Windows Project to install this minimal api in the customers as a windows service?

Is it a coincidence that his name is also Les?😂

You have a wonderful way of explaining concepts. I have watched many, many other videos and none were nearly as clear as this one. Thank you so much!

Currently stuck on the migration process and am receiving this error: (0x80131904): Login failed for user 'pa55w0rd!'. Has anyone run into this issue/resolved the error?

I feel in order to skip every single simple Controller I have to add a lot of extra codes/files in order to achieve the same thing. e.g. validating data.
What's the point of using Minimal API now? Am I missing something?

Got an error with the sql connection string. Adding "Encrypt=False;" solved it for me.

Hi Les loving your work, Which part of Scotland are you from I'm rom Fife

[EMWMIKE]

good video, however regarding repository. I know that you can swap out your db context and whatever. But frankly how often has that ever happened.

[MrStevenKPuckett]

Had a trust issue running the ef update command. Added "TrustServerCertificate=True" to the end of my connection string in the appsettings for a quick fix

Uhhhh :( una semana antes que saliera está nueva versión me registre con mi credencial de estudiante para la licencia, puedo tener acceso a esta versión o ya valió? Jaja

[europauniversalis]

Just a tip for anyone stuck getting the db to work. I had to add SA_USERNAME: "sa" to the docker-compose file before it would let me log in with the sa account.
