I am, usually, not too shy of writing relatively long functions in the plugins. And I mean long – not 15 lines, not 30 lines. In a relatively complex plugin I would, occasionally, have 200+ lines in the Execute method. Here is an example: Notice the line numbers. Even if I removed all the comments… Read More »
In the previous post, I wrote about how we can use C# code in Power Automate connectors now. The example given there (converting a string to uppercase) was not that useful, of course, since we could simply use an expression and a “toUpper” function directly in the expression. So I thought of a more useful… Read More »

If you read UpGuard report on PowerApps Portals security which came out a few days ago, you might start panicking, and, I’d say, rightfully so: https://www.upguard.com/breaches/power-apps Danish has already covered the technical side in his blog post, so there is no need to discuss the technicalities here. But, then, on the high level, what did… Read More »

You’d think that should have been piece of cake – just go to the solution, and missing component, and that’s all you need to do. But, then, is it that simple?
