InfoQ: dotnet news articles for March - 2026, by me.
Hi there 👋
As you know or don't know. I write for InfoQ, and I write a couple of news coverage articles per month.
I am part of the .NET Content editors' team, and each month, we write and cover new and exciting stuff in the #dotnet development world.
Last month, in March 2026, I wrote a couple of news articles. Maybe if you missed those topics or want to read more about the news from the .NET world, the URLs and short descriptions of the news items can be found in the list below:
.NET 11 Preview 2 Brings Performance Gains, Improved Mapping, and Native OpenTelemetry Support
Microsoft has released the second preview of .NET 11, featuring native OpenTelemetry tracing for ASP.NET Core, major Map control improvements and faster bindings in .NET MAUI, Blazor TempData support, a new Web Worker project template, and performance improvements across the runtime, SDK, and libraries.
Uno Platform 6.5 Released with AI Agent Support, Unicode Text, and Studio Improvements
Uno Platform 6.5 introduces Antigravity AI agent support, allowing agents to verify app behavior at runtime. Hot Design now launches by default with a redesigned toolbar and new scope selector. The release also adds Unicode TextBox support for non-Latin scripts, improves WebView2 on WebAssembly, and resolves over 450 community issues across all supported platforms.
Microsoft Launches MCP C# SDK v1.0, Bringing Full Support for Latest Protocol Specification
Microsoft has released version 1.0 of the official MCP C# SDK, bringing full support for the 2025-11-25 MCP Specification. The release introduces enhanced authorization flows, icon support for tools and resources, incremental scope consent, URL mode elicitation, tool calling in sampling, and improved handling of long-running HTTP requests.

This is a slightly different type of blog post from me. I hope you will find it useful, and I hope you will be updated with the latest .NET news (in case you missed it throughout the month).
As always, I wish you all the best and wish you lots of luck with coding!
Best regards! 👋
