Visual Studio is doing a good job here: once you have declared your class members, they will show up in

The Windows 11 "taskbar" is disgusting. It should be at the left of the screen, with real icons, with text, progress, etc. They downgraded my developer PC to a bloody iPhone.

x1 and y1 can make a lot of sense sometimes, if you're doing 2d coordinates for example.

Yes. Let me rename it to managersux.
One does not change working code for variable names. I'd have any manager fired for that

I once rejected an open source library that had received very good critics. We knew that we had to make significant extensions / modifications of the code. All names of variables and internal functions, as well as all code comments, were in French. None of us knew any French.
This is almost as bad as ALGOL68: The formal language specification defined tokens at abstract level; it didn't mandate IF and WHILE and FOR; you could define a language implementation that was Greek even to Greek programmers ... I don't know if that was ever done, but I did once see an ALGOL68 program using German language keywords. I know that it would be trivial to make a converter for replacing the German keywords with English ones, but if the programmer uses German keywords, I take for granted that all names and comments are in German, too. That French library at least had English keywords - but that was not sufficient for our use of it.

A long time ago I did a consulting job that was essentially a code review. Part of the code base had been out-sourced to a Ukrainian company. Merriment ensued...

Depends on the size of the module and the name and scope of the variable. In other words, does renaming the variable add to the maintainability of the code?

Sometimes VS and .NET is a PITA. But you know that.
I needed to have an Azure web app (Framework 4.7.2) log to app insights, so I installed the various AI packages and MS extensions dependency injection abstractions package. I ensure the abstractions DLL shows up in my references, I have a 'using' reference to it, and all that looks good. But VS is telling me the type and namespace can't be found for the ServiceCollection object, although it sees the bloody IServiceCollection interface. The same packages and the same code works in a console app on the same framework version.
So the big question is, if I retire now, can I live off a reduced SS check and my current 401K and savings for the next 20+ years?

Did you include the assembly as a reference?

No 401k in Europe. Ask an American.

It shows up in my references, so I assume it's there. I tried to find it in the Reference Manager to add it manually, just in case, but it isn't there. Not sure that's a problem since it isn't in the Manager in the console app, either, and it works fine.
I could retire now if I could talk my wife into moving to Arequipa, Peru. And if we could speak Spanish.

Then why are we talking references my man?
You don't need Spanish in Peru (though it helps).

It was an assumption, sorry.

You need a reference to that DLL, as far as I can guess now.

Yep, or the right DLL, which is another rabbit hole I can't find the bottom of.

Even though I can't, I would given the option. Go live near the coast and be happy?

I enjoy the ocean, but I prefer mountains, or at least very tall hills and ridges, buried in trees, flowing with rivers to kayak and caves to explore. That's my retirement plans.

Thanks, that got me closer. I removed what I had and installed the Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection package, which also installed the Abstractions package, using the same version as the console app. It now recognizes some version of the ServiceCollection, but not the version with an IServiceCollection that contains the definition for AddLogging and AddApplicationInsightsTelemetryWorkerService. And yet both the web app and console apps are using the same version of those packages, as far as I can tell, and those methods are defined in the console's version.

It will be the right ServiceCollection; it just looks like you're missing some other references.
AddLogging is an extension method defined in the Microsoft.Extensions.Logging NuGet package.AddApplicationInsightsTelemetryWorkerService is an extension method defined in the Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.WorkerService NuGet package.

Thank you. I owe you a beer. Or three.
The question I (and probably you) have now is, why couldn't I find that answer myself? My google-fu is normally black belt level.
But you have to admit the situation is complicated, even bizarre. IServiceCollection is in the Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection namespace, but the methods attached to an object instantiated from that interface are in two other namespaces. I mean, what the actual elephant?

That part actually makes sense: the extension methods are defined in the assemblies they're used for. Otherwise, all of the classes to configure eg: logging would need to be included in the DI assembly, which would be an absolute mess.
For the Microsoft extensions I've seen, the class where the extension methods are defined is usually deliberately added to the Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection namespace, even though that's not the correct namespace for the assembly. That way, you don't have to add extra using statements to your code to configure the services; you just need a reference to the assembly.

My rig bombed out, and until I could get a cheap WinTel spare (while I look for my dream gamer rig), I was stuck surfing the 'net with my Android phone. Oh my, what a horrific experience, between all the junk ads and not being to use Firefox's Bypass Paywalls add-on. I am considering getting an Android pad, which would be for me just for use when I'm in public transport or eating at a restaurant, etc., but if with Android I will be stuck with this rotten experience, I'll just stay with my dinosaur era phone using Opera Mini (which is so old that ads are too sophisticated, and which isn't a problem since I am only interested in the text).
Any ideas that do not involve paying through the nose for an Apple?
