🤖 Can GitHub Copilot really build .NET & Blazor apps?

Published 4 months ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader,

Last week, I tested GPT-5 Agent Mode on .NET and Blazor apps, and the results were surprising.

This week, I went a step further. I used GitHub Copilot inside Visual Studio and asked it to create real .NET and Blazor projects for me.

Here’s what happened:

  • Copilot generated a working calculator app in C#.
  • It built a Web API that responded with “Hello GPT-5 Agents.”
  • It even created a Blazor app with extra features like a reset button, a plus five counter, and a weather API.

Were there errors? Yes. Strange commands, failed builds, and confusing reloads all showed up. But in the end, we got working applications and some important lessons on why knowing your foundations is still crucial when using AI tools.

👉 Watch the full experiment here:

I am also working on a new .NET and AI course. In it, I’ll show you how to:

  • Use GPT in chat mode to generate code
  • Move on to agent mode to let it modify projects directly
  • And finally, use Copilot inside Visual Studio to build .NET and Blazor apps faster

You can join the waiting list here and be the first to know when it launches (and get a special launch discount).

I would love to hear from you: Would you trust Copilot or GPT-5 to build your apps, or do you think it is still too risky? Hit reply or join the comment section of the video and let me know your thoughts.

Take care,

Patrick

Hey friend, I just released a new video and I think you will enjoy this one. In the video, I ask GitHub Copilot to build a real mortgage app in Blazor. The app works. But the code is messy. All the business logic ends up in the UI. Fast results. Bad structure. Then I clean it up properly. Same behavior. Same output. Much better code using services, interfaces, and dependency injection. It shows why Copilot is powerful, but dangerous without rules. Watch the video here 👇 Enjoy the breakdown...

Hey friend, I just released a new video and I think you’ll enjoy it. In the video, I ask GitHub Copilot to build a .NET Web API using a short, vague prompt. The result works, but the structure feels random and messy. Then I run the same idea again with a stronger prompt that forces a clean structure. Feature folders. Vertical slice. Mediator. Fluent Validation. The difference is night and day. Watch the video here 👇 Enjoy the breakdown and let me know what you think. Take care, Patrick P.S....

Hey friend, I just released a new video showing a better way to use GitHub Copilot in real .NET projects. Watch it here 👇 If you ever felt like Copilot starts strong but then your code slowly turns into chaos, you’re not alone. It happens to most developers when they start using AI without giving it the right guidance. In the video, I show you one simple file you can add to your project that keeps your code clean, structured, and consistent. No guessing. No random patterns. Just a clear...
