How to control the 'Propagate Default Route' setting of a Azure VHub Network Connection from code

 Using Azure Virtual WAN for your hub/spoke network and want to know how to control the 'Propagate Default Route' setting on a Azure VHub Network Connection via code? Modifying this setting via the UI is easy. Go to the specific virtual network connection in the Virtual network connections setting of the Virtual WAN and change the value from Enable into Disable or vice versa. How to do this via code was a mystery for me until I consulted Microsoft support.

If you consult the documentation for maintaining the virtual hub network connection you don't find a setting named 'Propogate Default Route' or a mention in the description about it.

Microsoft Support explained that the attribute enableInternetSecurity, with description 'Enable internet security.', is actually controlling the behavior off the option 'Propagate Default Route'. The value true will enable it and the value false will disable this setting. I tested it and this attribute is controlling the 'Propagate Default Route' behavior on the VHub network connection.

CS8357: The specified version string contains wildcards, which are not compatible with determinism.

Today I was busy with creating a WCF service solution in Visual Studio Enterprise 2017 (15.9.2). In this solution I use a few C# class libraries based on .NET 4.7.2. When I compiled the solution I got this error message: Error CS8357: The specified version string contains wildcards, which are not compatible with determinism. Either remove wildcards from the version string, or disable determinism for this compilation The error message is linking to my AssemblyInfo.cs file of the Class library projects. In all the projects of this solution I use the wildcard notation for generating build and revision numbers. // Version information for an assembly consists of the following four values: // // Major Version // Minor Version // Build Number // Revision // // You can specify all the values or you can default the Build and Revision Numbers // by using the '*' as shown below: // [assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.*")] [assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0....

Fixing HTTP Error 401.2 unauthorized on local IIS

Assign an existing certificate to your IIS website with WiX

Recently I had to change the bindings of existing IIS hosted websites and APIs from HTTP to HTTPS. They are installed with a MSI file created with the WiX Toolset . Because I have to use an already on the server installed certificate I cannot use the Certificate element from the IIS Extension because this element only supports installing and uninstalling certificates based on PFX files. After doing some research I found the blog article Assign Certificate (Set HTTPS Binding certificate) to IIS website from Wix Installer which described the usage of Custom Actions for this purpose. I adopted this approach and rewrote the code for my scenario. With WiX I still create the website. <iis:WebSite Id="WebSite" ConfigureIfExists="yes" AutoStart="yes" Description="MyWebsite" Directory="IISROOT" StartOnInstall="yes"> <iis:WebAddress Id="WebSite...
