🎥 .NET 10 Finally Fixes Prerendering in Blazor with [PersistentState]


Hey Reader,

If you’re a Blazor developer, you know that annoying flash when your app loads data during pre-rendering. It’s been around forever.

Sure, you could disable pre-rendering, but then you'd hurt performance and SEO.

Well… with .NET 10, we finally have a real fix: the new Persistent State Attribute. 🎉

🎥 Watch my full tutorial about it here:

In this video, I walk you through:

✅ What causes the flashing issue

✅ Why disabling pre-rendering isn’t ideal

✅ How the new Persistent State Attribute works

✅ And why this update is a big deal for Blazor Server apps

By the end, you’ll see how Blazor now keeps your data persistent between pre-render and hydration, meaning no more ugly flashes and smoother user experiences.

Hey friend, I just released a new video and wanted to share it with you. Watch the video here 👇 I used GitHub Copilot to build a small Blazor weather app. It worked almost instantly and even used real API calls. At first glance, everything looked great. Then I opened the Razor file. All the logic was sitting in one place. UI, API calls, and business logic mixed together. It worked, but it was not something I would ship. In the video, I show how I fix this using a single refactoring prompt. I...
