Channel, ChannelReader and ChannelWriter to manage data streams in multi-threading environment

I came across Channel class while working with SignalR which looks really interesting. By looking into NuGet packages ( https://www.nuget.org/packages/System.Threading.Channels ), it seems just 4 months old. The Channel class provides infrastructure to have multiple reads and write simuletensely through it's Reader and Writer properties. This is where it is handy in case of SignalR where data streaming needs to be done but is not just limited to that but wherever something needs to be read/write/combination of both in a multi-threading environment. In my case with SignalR, I had to stream stock data at a regular interval of time. public ChannelReader<StockData> StreamStock() { var channel = Channel.CreateUnbounded<StockData>(); _stockManager.OnStockData = stockData => { channel.Writer.TryWrite(stockData); }; return channel.Reader; } The SignalR keeps return type of ChannelReader<StockData> open so that whatev...

Custom authorization based on dotnet core policy with Attribute filter

Around 2.5 years back I had written about custom authorization on MVC  Custom authorization on class, action/function, code, area level under Asp.Net MVC application , there are few approaches which are changed in Core version for authorization.

I believe this is right step but also global or basic authentication could still be driven by Attribute due to enhancing simplicity on codes by focusing on the primary objective rather than writing authorization check everywhere. The whole approach and usage remain same from the original Post, in this, we would be just looking into making it compatible with dotnet Core MVC.

Also, can go through official post: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/security/authorization/policies to understand new approach. More of all we need to create...
