Cum sa obtinem numele unei proprietati folosind lambda expression

Nu odată ne-am lovit de acesta problema. Cum sa transmit numele unei proprietăți ca si string, fara sa fiu obligat in cazul unei redenumiri sa nu trebuiasca sa caut prin tot codul.
O solutie este crearea unei clase de mapare, dar aceasta trebuie sa fie tot timpul adusa la zi. O alta solutie este sa folosim reflection. Putem sa ne cream un helper care sa rezolve problema, dar lucrurile se complica cand vrem rezultatul sa fie sub forma: "proprietateParinte.proprietateCopil".
Cei care folosesc MVC stiu ca acesta vine in ajutorul programatorilor cu ExpressionHelper.GetExpressionText(exprisieLambda). Acesta metoda este des folosita cand se lucreaza cu ViewModel. Dar ce ne facem daca nu suntem intr-o aplicatie ASP.NET MVC?
O solutie este sa luam expresia lambda si sa o descompunem. Prin acest mecanism putem sa iteram prin fiecare parte din expresie. Prin intermediul propietatii Body putem sa obtinem body-ul expresiei, iar in functie de tipul expresiei putem sa stim pe ce pozitie ne aflam.
    public class PropertyNameHelper
{
private const string Delimiter = ".";

public static string For<T>(Expression<Func<T, object>> expression)
where T:class
{
var body = expression.Body;
return GetPropertyName(body);
}

pprivate static string GetPropertyName(Expression expression)
{
if (expression is MemberExpression)
{
var memberExp = (MemberExpression)expression;
return memberExp.Expression.NodeType == ExpressionType.MemberAccess
? string.Format("{0}{1}{2}",GetPropertyName(memberExp.Expression),Delimiter,memberExp.Member.Name)
: memberExp.Member.Name;
}
if (expression is UnaryExpression)
{
var unaryExp = (UnaryExpression)expression;
if (unaryExp.NodeType == ExpressionType.Convert)
{
return GetPropertyName(unaryExp.Operand);
}

throw new Exception(string.Format("The member {0} cannot be found.", expression));
}

throw new Exception(string.Format("The member {0} could not been determined.", expression));
}
}
Putem sa obținem numele la proprietate astfel:
PropertyNameHelper.For<Page>(s => s.Cache.Count);

Windows Docker Containers can make WIN32 API calls, use COM and ASP.NET WebForms

After the last post , I received two interesting questions related to Docker and Windows. People were interested if we do Win32 API calls from a Docker container and if there is support for COM. WIN32 Support To test calls to WIN32 API, let’s try to populate SYSTEM_INFO class. [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)] public struct SYSTEM_INFO { public uint dwOemId; public uint dwPageSize; public uint lpMinimumApplicationAddress; public uint lpMaximumApplicationAddress; public uint dwActiveProcessorMask; public uint dwNumberOfProcessors; public uint dwProcessorType; public uint dwAllocationGranularity; public uint dwProcessorLevel; public uint dwProcessorRevision; } ... [DllImport("kernel32")] static extern void GetSystemInfo(ref SYSTEM_INFO pSI); ... SYSTEM_INFO pSI = new SYSTEM_INFO(

Azure AD and AWS Cognito side-by-side

In the last few weeks, I was involved in multiple opportunities on Microsoft Azure and Amazon, where we had to analyse AWS Cognito, Azure AD and other solutions that are available on the market. I decided to consolidate in one post all features and differences that I identified for both of them that we should need to take into account. Take into account that Azure AD is an identity and access management services well integrated with Microsoft stack. In comparison, AWS Cognito is just a user sign-up, sign-in and access control and nothing more. The focus is not on the main features, is more on small things that can make a difference when you want to decide where we want to store and manage our users.  This information might be useful in the future when we need to decide where we want to keep and manage our users.  Feature Azure AD (B2C, B2C) AWS Cognito Access token lifetime Default 1h – the value is configurable 1h – cannot be modified

ADO.NET provider with invariant name 'System.Data.SqlClient' could not be loaded

Today blog post will be started with the following error when running DB tests on the CI machine: threw exception: System.InvalidOperationException: The Entity Framework provider type 'System.Data.Entity.SqlServer.SqlProviderServices, EntityFramework.SqlServer' registered in the application config file for the ADO.NET provider with invariant name 'System.Data.SqlClient' could not be loaded. Make sure that the assembly-qualified name is used and that the assembly is available to the running application. See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=260882 for more information. at System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.DependencyResolution.ProviderServicesFactory.GetInstance(String providerTypeName, String providerInvariantName) This error happened only on the Continuous Integration machine. On the devs machines, everything has fine. The classic problem – on my machine it’s working. The CI has the following configuration: TeamCity .NET 4.51 EF 6.0.2 VS2013 It see
