Caz in care IValidatableObject.Validate nu este apelat

Daca in aplicatia voastra MVC in loc de Enterprise library pentru validare o sa fiti surprinsi ca exista cazuri cand metoda pentru validare nu este apelata asa cum v-ati astepta.
Folosind atributele HasSelfValidate si SelfValidate, putem sa validam un obiect. Atributul HasSelfValidate ne spune daca obiectul curent are un mecanism propiu de validare. Metoda care face validarea in interiorul obiectului nostru trebuie sa aibe atributul SelfValidation si urmatorul antet:
void numeMetoda( ValidationResults validationResults )
In cazul in care obiectul nu este valid putem sa adaugam pe validationResults mesajul dorit impreuna cu alte informatii precum: nume propietate si referinta la obiectul care nu este valid.
[HasSelfValidate]
public class Person
{
public int Age { get; set; }

public int Name { get; set; }

[SelfValidation]
public void Validate(ValidationResults validationResults)
{
if( Age < 0 )
{
validationResults.AddResult(new ValidationResult("Varsta este negativa", this, "Age", null,null);
}
if( string.IsNullOrEmpty( Name ) )
{
validationResults.AddResult(new ValidationResult("Numele nu este valid", this, "Name", null,null);
}
}
}
In cazul unei aplicatii MVC clasa noastra o sa aibe forma urmatoare:
public class Person : IValidatableObject
{
[Required]
public int Age { get; set; }

[Required]
public int Name { get; set; }

public IEnumerable[ValidationResult] Validate(ValidationContext validationContext)
{
if( Age < 0 )
{
yield return new ValidationResult("Varsta este negativa", new [] { "Age" });
}
if( string.IsNullOrEmpty( Name ) )
{
yield return new ValidationResult("Numele nu este valid", new[] { "Name"});
}
}
}
Mecanismul este exact la fel ca si cel cu atribute, doar ca implementam o interfata. Am putea spune ca cele doua implementări au același comportament pentru orice caz. Dar din pacate nu este adevarat. Pentru a doua implementare o sa apara cazuri cand metoda noastra de validare nu se apelează.
Daca Age sau Name nu este completat o observam ca metoda Validate nu este apelata. Totul apare din cauza atributului Required, care verifica daca s-a introdus o valoarea pentru propietatea marcata, iar daca valoarea nu a fost introdusa nu o sa apeleze metoda Validate. Acest comportament apare din cauza ca prima data se face validarea propietatiilor in functie de atirbutele cu care sunt decorate, iar doar apoi daca validarea a fost cu succes se apeleaza metoda noastra
Acest caz nu ar trebuii sa ne deranjeze in general. Dar trebe sa il avem in vedere pentru anumite cazuri. De exemplu faca avem o pagina unde un user se inregistreaza si acesta nu introduce numele, dar introduce parola, poate am dorii sa apara un mesaj in care sa ii se spuna ca parola nu este destul de sigura sau ceva asemanator.

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.

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
