If you do haveContinueContinue reading “BadImageFormatException When Running 32/64 Bit Applications in Jet Brains Rider”
Azure REST API Scopes

However, throughout their documentation that although they ask for the scope they do not explain or link to an explanation of what a scope is and what the formats are. Therefore,ContinueContinue reading “Azure REST API Scopes”
