So here I am now, programming a multiple-application web site, hosted on an Azure Web App Service, writing in C# using ASP.Net MVC with Entity Framework\/Code First.\u00a0 And most days, I actually make real progress!<\/p>\n
This morning was not so good, though, as I tried to implement SendGrid to ship out Confirmation Emails from my user registration process.\u00a0 I used SendGrid before earlier this month while I was searching out resources to use in my new development project… but that was VB-based.\u00a0 Today, I had all sorts of issues getting it to work in my C# project.\u00a0 I finally went back and forth between the two projects and checked out the NuGet package versions, and turned out my VB SendGrid was 6.3.4, and the C# SendGrid I loaded this morning was 7.0.2.\u00a0 Was this major version difference the real problem?<\/p>\n
When I went to the SendGrid site, I was immediately flushed with emotions — good and bad.\u00a0 There it was, in big block letters:<\/p>\n
