Need advice on how to update my WPF app from .net6 to .net8 with minimal disruption to users
So for the initial install, I am using Advanced Installer which will install the .net6 desktp runtime. Then, each time the app wakes up, it checks a url to see if there's a new update available. If so it will download it and theres a companion executable that will handle the updating. However, this wasn't meant for any .net updates (or anything requiring admin perms).

It does, you're right. Typically we work with the customer's IT folks to do the initial installation. My hope was to avoid needing their assistance for this update though.

✅ How can I use ReactJS with Asp.net core with server side HTTP calls?
Thanks - yeah I know how to implement the flow, I was just hoping that there was some way to directly combine React + asp.net (with ssr, not the template one which doesn't allow ssr)

✅ How can I use ReactJS with Asp.net core with server side HTTP calls?
There is no authentication for users. There is a unique identifier they can enter and then the application needs to display some information from the back end api. The response isn't information terribly sensitive so it's fine to display it based on that identifier. But there are ways it could be abused so I need the api call protected. I realize it sounds odd, but those are the instructions I have to work with.

✅ How can I use ReactJS with Asp.net core with server side HTTP calls?
The back end is what I'm trying to protect. It has API controllers with Authorize attribute that requires a token that generated from Azure AD. To get that token from Azure AD, I have a secret. I obviously can't put that secret for getting access tokens in the client side code, so my thought was I will need to make this app have some server-side component to it that can keep the secret... secret, along with making all my HTTP requests to the back end.

✅ WPF Build size triples after changing target framework to net6.0-windows10.0.17763.0
I think this is a good alternative to including the whole Windows SDK just for toast notifications. I lose some functionality - like arguments / responses and setting my own custom image/icons. But shaving 2/3 off the build size seems like a good compromise.
