ERROR: Runtime dotnet-isolated not supported for os windows, When creating a function app

I was trying to create an Azure function app for .NET 6.0 with dotnet-isolated and functions ver 4 in May 2022 when I got these errors:

Error: Command failed: az functionapp create --name myapp-functions-qa --storage-account myappsaqa --runtime dotnet-isolated --app-insights-key "myapp-functions-ai-qa" --os-type Windows --plan myapp-functions-asp-qa --functions-version 4

ERROR: Runtime dotnet-isolated not supported for os windows. Supported runtimes for os windows are: ['dotnet', 'dotnet', 'node', 'node', 'node', 'java', 'java', 'powershell', 'powershell', 'custom']. Run 'az functionapp list-runtimes' for more details on supported runtimes. 

Surprisingly, I was able to create a function app a month earlier using the dotnet-isolated runtime. Something must have changed with Azure. Lot of search didn't lead me to any solution.

After trying several things, the workaround I found was to create the function app with dotnet runtime as below:

az functionapp create --name myapp-functions-qa --storage-account myappsaqa --runtime dotnet --app-insights-key "myapp-functions-ai-qa" --os-type Windows --plan myapp-functions-asp-qa --functions-version 4

After the app is created, I simply updated the app runtime to dotnet-isolated. And this surprisingly worked.

az functionapp config appsettings set --name myapp-functions-qa --resource-group MYAPP_RG --settings "FUNCTIONS_WORKER_RUNTIME=dotnet-isolated"

Now your function app should work in dotnet-isolated mode.

Till Microsoft makes the dotnet-isolated runtime official, use this workaround.

CA1050 Declare types in namespaces 'FilterConfig'

Running code analysis on my ASP.NET MVC application gives the following warning.

CA1050 Declare types in namespaces 'FilterConfig' should be declared inside a namespace. appname.xxx FilterConfig.cs 4

The FilterConfig.cs or RouteConfig.cs or Global.asax are created by the application without any namespaces.

I would say, just update your rule (if custom ruleset) to ignore this. Else right click and suppress the message.

Upgrading Office project from Visual Studio 2008 to Visual Studio 2012 (Targetting Framework 4.0/4.5)

Upgrading Office project from Visual Studio 2008 to Visual Studio 2012 (Targetting Framework 4.0/4.5).

All hell broke loose when I opened my 2008 visual studio office project in Visual Studio 2012 hoping that VS will take care of the upgrade seamlessly.

It upgraded and gave me a report that all is well. (Well the deployment project failed to upgrade as that option was removed. About that in probably another post).

Went ahead and tried to build the solution. bam !!. 105 errors. Mainly in the ribbon's designer file.

The common error:
'New' cannot be used on an interface

What...
When did the class change to an interface...

Me.Separator1 = New Microsoft.Office.Tools.Ribbon.RibbonSeparator
fails.

Me.MyButton1= New Microsoft.Office.Tools.Ribbon.RibbonButton
fails

Finally found the link that saved me from all those errors:

Go to the UI project and add a reference to the DAL project.

Copy the connection string from app.config of the DAL project to the web.config of the UI project.

The iso was downloaded from msdn.

Tried repairing .net framework 4.0 as suggested on some sites - didn't work.

It was probably corrupted iso during download. Re-downloaded the iso from Microsoft site and was able to proceed with installation.
