Fields vs properties

De unde a pornit totul:
De la o discutie in care se spunea ca la inceput este mai bine sa folosim field-uri si nu proprietatiile, iar in cazul in care ajungem sa avem nevoie de ele, le putem înlocuii in orice moment cu propietati.

Aici apare o problema. Din punct de vedere a framework-ului field-urile si proprietatiile sunt total diferite (sunt binar incompatibile). Din aceasta cauza o sa fim nevoiti sa recompilam toate assembly-urile care folosesc obiectul nostru.
In cazul in care folosim reflection la accesarea field-urilor trebuie modificat, deoarece modul in care proprietatiilese acceseaza este diferit.
Singurul avantaj care apare la field-uri este performanta, care poate sa fie îmbunătățita foarte mult. Totodata field-urile pot sa fie folosite ca si parametri ref sau out.
Cand se folosesc propietati se poate controla modul in care valoarea se seteaza (validare) sau se obtine (get,set). In cazul in care modifiarea unei proprietati produce modificarea altor valori, acest lucru poate sa fie foarte usor de facut cu o proprietate.
Problema s-ar pune intre proprietăți automate si field-uri publice. Din punct de vedere a implementarii, este mult mai usor sa schimbam implementarea la o proprietate daca vrem sa facem ceva mai special, fara sa fim nevoiti sa recompilam toata solutia. De exemplu sa avem private setter.
Cea ce nu putem face cu proprietati, este sa le setam o valurea de default in mod automat. Acest lucru trebuie facut in constructor sau intr-o metoda de initializare.
  • Ca si concluzie o sa enumar avantajele pe care le avem daca folosim proprietati publice si nu field-uri publice:
  • lazy loading;
  • propietatiile pot sa arunce erori;
  • daca lucram cu data binding trebuie sa folosim propietati;
  • se poate adauga validare cand o valoare se seteaza;
  • fine-grained control (logging intr-un fisier de exemplu, validare);
  • pot sa fie virtual si se poate face overwritten;
  • pot sa apara in interfata;
Ce parere aveti? Exista un motiv pentru care am putea sa avem field-uri publice?

  1. Sunt putine cazuri in care e suficient un field public: de ex. clase care sigur vor fi folosite doar ca DTO-uri "dummy"..
    Altfel, overheadul unui property autoimplemented e neglijabil..

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

What to do when you hit the throughput limits of Azure Storage (Blobs)

In this post we will talk about how we can detect when we hit a throughput limit of Azure Storage and what we can do in that moment. Context If we take a look on Scalability Targets of Azure Storage ( https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/storage-scalability-targets/ ) we will observe that the limits are prety high. But, based on our business logic we can end up at this limits. If you create a system that is hitted by a high number of device, you can hit easily the total number of requests rate that can be done on a Storage Account. This limits on Azure is 20.000 IOPS (entities or messages per second) where (and this is very important) the size of the request is 1KB. Normally, if you make a load tests where 20.000 clients will hit different blobs storages from the same Azure Storage Account, this limits can be reached. How we can detect this problem? From client, we can detect that this limits was reached based on the HTTP error code that is returned by HTTP
