Cum se face paginare pe tabelele din Windows Azure

Daca lucram cu tabelele din Windows Azure o sa avem nevoie sa facem paginare. Default nu avem nici un mecanism de paginare, dar acesta este usor de implementat.
In postul anterior am descris modul prin care se pot obtine mai mult de 1000 de entitati dintr-un tabel. Pe baza mecanismului prezentat anterior putem sa parcurgem datele din tabel in format paginat.
Trebuie sa ne folosim de metoda Take din LINQ, care din fericire este suportata si de LINQ folosit pentru tabelele din Windows Azure( nu trebuie sa uitam ca doar o parte din LINQ este implementat pentru Windows Azure in acest moment). Apeland metoda Take putem sa obtinem doar o parte din entitati care ne sunt returnate de catre query.
Folosindu-ne de token-urile nextPartitionToken si nextRowToken putem sa luam urmatoarele x elemente incepand de pe o anumita pozitie.
Mai jos gasiti o implementare minimala a unui mecanism de paginare.
    public class Pagination<TItem>
where TItem : class
{
private const string NoValue = "novalue";

private string _nextPartitionToken;
private string _nextRowToken;
private DataServiceQuery<TItem> _dataServiceQuery;
private List<TItem> _items;
private int _pageSize;

/// <summary>
/// TRUE when another page exist.
/// </summary>
public bool HasNextPage { get { return _nextPartitionToken != NoValue && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(_nextPartitionToken); } }

/// <summary>
/// Gets all the items of the current page.
/// </summary>
public List<TItem> Items { get { return _items; } }

/// <summary>
/// The base contructor.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="dataServiceQuery">The query that is executed on Azure tables.</param>
/// <param name="pageSize">The size of the page.</param>
public Pagination(DataServiceQuery<TItem> dataServiceQuery, int pageSize)
{
_nextPartitionToken = NoValue;
_pageSize = pageSize;
_dataServiceQuery = dataServiceQuery.Take(_pageSize);
}

/// <summary>
/// Load the next page.
/// </summary>
public void NextPage()
{
if(string.IsNullOrEmpty(_nextPartitionToken))
{
return;
}

if (_nextPartitionToken!=NoValue)
{
_dataServiceQuery.AddQueryOption("NextPartitionKey", _nextPartitionToken);
_dataServiceQuery.AddQueryOption("NextRowKey", _nextRowToken);
}

//Get the result.
var result = _dataServiceQuery.Execute();
_items = result.ToList();

//Get tokens for the next page.
QueryOperationResponse queryOperationResponse = (QueryOperationResponse)result;
queryOperationResponse.Headers.TryGetValue("x-ms-continuation-NextPartitionKey", out _nextPartitionToken);
queryOperationResponse.Headers.TryGetValue("x-ms-continuation-NextRowKey", out _nextRowToken);
}
}
Ceea ce lipseste este calcularea numarului total de pagini. Pentru a putea face acest lucru este nevoie sa executam un query care sa returneze numarul total de entitati de pe un anumit tabel.
Pentru ca utilizatorul sa aiba optiunea de a putea accesa orice pagina este nevoie ca in constructor sa executam cate un query pentru fiecare pagina in parte si sa salvam token-urile.

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(...

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...

Cloud Myths: Cloud is Cheaper (Pill 1 of 5 / Cloud Pills)

Cloud Myths: Cloud is Cheaper (Pill 1 of 5 / Cloud Pills) The idea that moving to the cloud reduces the costs is a common misconception. The cloud infrastructure provides flexibility, scalability, and better CAPEX, but it does not guarantee lower costs without proper optimisation and management of the cloud services and infrastructure. Idle and unused resources, overprovisioning, oversize databases, and unnecessary data transfer can increase running costs. The regional pricing mode, multi-cloud complexity, and cost variety add extra complexity to the cost function. Cloud adoption without a cost governance strategy can result in unexpected expenses. Improper usage, combined with a pay-as-you-go model, can result in a nightmare for business stakeholders who cannot track and manage the monthly costs. Cloud-native services such as AI services, managed databases, and analytics platforms are powerful, provide out-of-the-shelve capabilities, and increase business agility and innovation. H...
