Reactive Extensions for .NET - Rx.NET v7 and Futures
Ian Griffiths, Technical Fellow at endjin, .NET MVP, and author of Programming C# (O'Reilly), returns to On .NET Live to demo Rx.NET with live ship-tracking data from Norway's AIS network and walk through the major changes coming to the Reactive Extensions ecosystem in v7.
In this episode:
- 🚢 Live demo — streaming real-time vessel data with Rx.NET and AIS.NET, using LINQ queries over observable sequences to join, group, and display ship positions on a WPF map
- 📦 System.Linq.Async → System.Linq.AsyncEnumerable in .NET 10 — how LINQ for IAsyncEnumerable moved from the Rx repo into the .NET runtime, and what that means for your projects
- ⚠️ Rx 7 Preview — unbundling WPF and Windows Forms support from System.Reactive to eliminate the 90MB binary bloat in self-contained deployments
- 🔮 Rx 8 and beyond — plans for browser WASM and Unity support, improved trimability, and the path to production-ready Async Rx
