DataContract and XMLIgnore attribute

Intr-un post anterior am discutat despre cum putem sa serializam un IDictionary in format XML. In mod normal o clasa care nu este decorata cu atributul DataContract o sa poata fi serializata folosind DataContractSerializer fara nici o problema. In acest caz, toate proprietatiile si field-urile publice o sa fie serializate.
In specificatiile la DataContractSerializer, ne este specificat ca orice atribut folosit pentru serializare in format XML (XmlIgnore, XmlArray, Serializable etc.) sunt ignorate. Totusi cand obiectul de mai jos era serializat, atributul XmlIgnore este luat in considerare.
public Foo
{
    public string Name
    {
        get;
        set;
    }
    [XmlIgnore]
    public string Value
    {
        get;
        private set;
    }
}
In prima faza cea ce se intampla este destul de ciudat. In mod normal acesta nu ar trebui sa fie ignorat, dar practic proprietatea este ignorata in totalitate.
In realitate DataContractSerializer functioneaza asa cum ne-am astepta. Dar daca ne uitam mai atenti la modul in care este definita proprietatea Value, putem sa observam ca set-ul este private. DataContractSerializer serializeaza toate proprietatiile publice, iar Value nu este public. Aceasta are doar get-erul public, iar set-erul este private. Cu sau fara atributul XmlIgnore, aceasta proprietate nu este serializata.
Enjoy!

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
