Entity Framework Async: The source IQueryable doesn't implement IDbAsyncEnumerable<>

While investigating an Entity Framework issue, I stumbled over the following exception

The source IQueryable doesn't implement IDbAsyncEnumerable<VLM.PlattelandsLoket.Domain.Views.Codes.CodeValueView>. Only sources that implement IDbAsyncEnumerable can be used for Entity Framework asynchronous operations. For more details see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=287068.

IDbAsyncEnumerable

What’s causing this error?

Entity Framework 6 introduced async support through a set of extension methods. These extension methods are defined on IQueryable and IEnumerable but actually expect an IDbAsyncEnumerable implementation behind the scenes  to work. When you try to use one of these extension methods on a LINQ query that isn’t an Entity Framework query, you end up with the error message above.

I have to say I’m not a big fan of this approach, it sounds like a ‘leaky abstraction’ to me.

What do you think? Code smell or not?

Help! I accidently enabled HSTS–on localhost

I ran into an issue after accidently enabling HSTS for a website on localhost. This was not an issue for the original website that was running in IIS and had a certificate configured. But when I tried to run an Angular app a little bit later on http://localhost:4200 the browser redirected me immediately to https://localhost . Whoops! That was not what I wanted in this case. To fix it, you need to go the network settings of your browser, there are available at: chrome://net-internals/#hsts edge://net-internals/#hsts brave://net-internals/#hsts Enter ‘localhost’ in the domain textbox under the Delete domain security policies section and hit Delete . That should do the trick…
