If you want to use your RPI as a 24x7 on file sharing server, you need to follow the instructions given below to install SAMBA server in you RPI.

Install the samba server using following command

Add new user and add this user to samba user group
sudo useradd -G sambausers testuser

Set password for this user using following command
sudo passwd testuser

Create directory to setup samba share (create directory in usb drive in my example)
sudo mkdir /media/usb0/share
sudo chown :sambausers /media/usb0/share/

Open samba configuration file and update as shown below

sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf

security = user

[share]
comment = RPI Share
path = /media/usb0/share
valid users = @users
force group = sambausers
read only = No
create mask = 0660
directory mask = 0771

Restart samba service using following command

sudo service samba restart

Then you will be able to access the samba share from other devices in the network

Background 
Integration of PowerBI into ASP.Net is straightforward as far as you follow the Microsoft documentation. When it comes to ASP.NET Core 2, it is not, at the time of writing this article. Let me guide you through the steps I followed to successfully embed PowerBI reports to our ASP.NET Core2 / Angular5 enterprise website.

Two Scenarios

 1. User Owns Data - where users will be directly registered in PowerBi portal

        }

        #region Handle App Exit

        static Boolean Handler(CtrlTypes CtrlType)

                case CtrlTypes.CTRL_C_EVENT:
                case CtrlTypes.CTRL_BREAK_EVENT:
                case CtrlTypes.CTRL_CLOSE_EVENT:
                case CtrlTypes.CTRL_LOGOFF_EVENT:
