In some cases, when a solution is opened, Visual Studio can crash when it is opened for more than 24 hours with the following exception:

Currently, the Wizard displays any server-side errors that are added to the ModelState in the respective form fields within the Wizard steps (which is great).

The problem is that those errors are not "cleared" when the field is edited/changed. This prevent the form from being posted or the user to move to the next step if the form validation is enabled within the Wizard.

The only way to work with server-side error in the wizard form at the moment is to either disable form validation altogether or to attach an "onchange" event to each of the fields and clear any server-side errors manually once the field is changed.

Both solutions are far from ideal. It would be great if this was part of the default behaviour of the wizard form (like it already is for client-side errors).

Would you be able to implement a more visual aspect for the FileManagement so it look close to this picture.

Attach is the modified Kendo.all.min.js file that you may want to alter so it becomes a permanent in you repository. Changes made for those following :

* Changed:
  *     template:
  *     var i
  *     singleFileTemplate

The style sheet for the effects:

also here is the C# Thumbnail Class that can be modified if you intend to have you own fabrication of thumbnail as it use to be years ago :-)

using SixLabors.ImageSharp;
using SixLabors.ImageSharp.Processing;

public virtual IActionResult Thumbnail(string path)
    {
        var virtualPath = Path.Combine(_thumbnailFolderRoot);
        var physicalPath = Path.Combine(ConstantVar.webEnv.WebRootPath, virtualPath.Replace('/', '\\'));
        path = Path.Combine(physicalPath, path);
        FileInfo imageInfo = new FileInfo(path);

        int width = 75;
        int height = 75;
        bool KeepRatio = true;

        using (Image image = Image.Load(imageInfo.FullName))
        {

            // Figure out the ratio
            double ratioX = (double)width / (double)image.Width;
            double ratioY = (double)height / (double)image.Height;
            // use whichever multiplier is smaller
            double ratio = ratioX < ratioY ? ratioX : ratioY;

            int newHeight = height;
            int newWidth = width;

            if (KeepRatio)
            {
                // now we can get the new height and width
                newHeight = Convert.ToInt32(image.Height * ratio);
                newWidth = Convert.ToInt32(image.Width * ratio);
            }

            image.Mutate(s => s.Resize(width: newWidth, height: newHeight));
            using (var ms = new MemoryStream())
            {
                image.SaveAsJpeg(ms);
                return File(ms.ToArray(), "image/jpg");
            }
        }
    }

We can easily add a photo image with only face in it. 

The request is to add an option in the avatar to detect face from a full body image and auto zoom in to the face to create an avatar from the image provided. This can be controlled using an option in the avatar settings.
