Copy a directory recursive

Ultima oara cand a fost nevoie sa fac asa ceva a fost in timpul facultății. In seara asta aveam de lucru la un proiect ce se ocupa cu un deploy si supriza, aveam nevoie de acest mecanism. Speram ca .NET 4.0 sa fie plin de surprize, dar din pacate nu. Asa ca am inceput sa implementez de manuta si uite ce a iesit:
public static class DirectoryHelper
{
///
/// Copy recursive a directory to a specific location.
///

/// Source directory.
/// Destination directory.
public static void Copy(string sourceDirecotry, string destionationDirectory)
{
if (!Directory.Exists(destionationDirectory))
{
Directory.CreateDirectory(destionationDirectory);
}
//Copy all files from the current directory.
foreach (string file in Directory.GetFiles(sourceDirecotry))
{
var fileName=Path.GetFileName(file);
File.Copy(Path.Combine(destionationDirectory,fileName), Path.Combine(destionationDirectory, fileName));
}
//Copy files from the subfolders.
foreach (string folder in Directory.GetDirectories(sourceDirecotry))
{
var directoryName = Path.GetFileName(folder);
Copy(Path.Combine(destionationDirectory,directoryName), Path.Combine(destionationDirectory, directoryName));
}
}
}
M-am gandit si la o varianta LINQ, sa folosesc ForEach si expresii lambda, dar nu e la fel de rapid ca un foreach scris de mana. Un For ar fi si mai rapid, dar nu cred ca e cazul, prefer sa las codul sa fie cat mai usor de inteles. Avantajul la LINQ ar fi fost ca se poate scrie fara apeluri recursive( o sa revin maine si cu varianta aceasta).
Dezamagirea mea a fost in momentul in care am vrut sa il pun ca extension method la System.IO.Directory. Nu se poate asa ceva din cauza ca System.IO.Directory este o clasa statica. Asa ca trebe sa ne multumim cu clase helpere sau sa adaugam aceasta metoda ca extensie la DirectoryInfo.

Atentie, codul nu functioneaza daca unul din path-uri este subpath pentru celalat path. In cazul meu validarea pentru acest caz se face in alt loc.

How to audit an Azure Cosmos DB

In this post, we will talk about how we can audit an Azure Cosmos DB database. Before jumping into the problem let us define the business requirement: As an Administrator I want to be able to audit all changes that were done to specific collection inside my Azure Cosmos DB. The requirement is simple, but can be a little tricky to implement fully. First of all when you are using Azure Cosmos DB or any other storage solution there are 99% odds that you’ll have more than one system that writes data to it. This means that you have or not have control on the systems that are doing any create/update/delete operations. Solution 1: Diagnostic Logs Cosmos DB allows us activate diagnostics logs and stream the output a storage account for achieving to other systems like Event Hub or Log Analytics. This would allow us to have information related to who, when, what, response code and how the access operation to our Cosmos DB was done. Beside this there is a field that specifies what was th...

Can User Technical Profile Influence AI Architecture Decisions?

In the last few days, I ran a small experiment on Devin/Windsurf/Cascade, BMAD, and LLM-based architecture decisions. The initial concern was simple: if an AI coding assistant knows something about the user, for example, that the user is a Java developer or a .NET developer, can this information influence the architecture and technology stack that the AI will propose? This question is important because many companies are starting to use AI tools not only for coding but also for product discovery, architecture, documentation, and technical decision-making. If the AI is influenced by the developer's personal profile, the result may not be fully neutral. It may look like a business or architecture decision, but in reality, it may be partially shaped by the context of the person using the tool. The test was done using BMAD with Devin/Windsurf/Cascade. The scenario was a unified field service operations platform. The task was to let BMAD refine the product, define the architecture and s...

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...
