OutputCache in Windows Azure folosind AppFabric.Cache

In post-ul anterior am vorbit despre cum putem sa ne definim propriul nostru mecanism de cache-ing. Dar daca ne aflam in cloud.
Iata urmatorul scenariu: avem o aplicatie MVC 2 pe Windows Azure si vrem sa putem folosii un mecanism de cache-ing. In cazul in care avem mai multe web roluri dorim sa facem un sistem de cache-ing oarecum centralizat. Nu dorim sa încărcam de doua ori anumite date daca acestea sunt deja incarcate.
O varianta pentru a rezolva aceasta problema este sa ne definim propriul mecanism pentru cache-ing. Nu ar fi foarte complicat, dar ne-ar costa ceva timp. Cea mai simpla varianta este sa folosim mecanismul intern de pe Windows Azure. AppFabric ne ofera si posibilitatea sa facem cache-ing la date. Acest provider de cache-ing se numeste DistributedCache, iar pentru al putea folosi este nevoie sa accesam sectiunea de AppFabric din contul de Windows Azure si sa adaugăm un serviciu.
In web.config-ul aplicatiei trebuie sa adauga o noua sectiune prin care sa putem definii providerul din cloud, iar apoi sa scriem definiția propriu-zisa:
<configSections>
<section name="distributedCache"
type="Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.DataCacheClientSection,
Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.Core"
allowLocation="true" allowDefinition="Everywhere"/>
</configSections>
<distributedCache deployment="Simple">
<hosts>
<host name="raduVunvulea.cache.appfabriclabs.com" cachePort="80" />
</hosts>
<securityProperties mode="Message">
<messageSecurity authorizationInfo="43423423DFJF2rf32f23f23f233gt23f3f3">
</messageSecurity>
</securityProperties>
</distributedCache>
Tot ce mai este nevoie este sa adaugam in sectiunea de cache-ing definitia noastra de provider:
<webconfig>
<caching>
<outputCache defaultProvider="DistributedCacheProvider" >
<add name="DistributedCacheProvider"
type="Microsoft.Web.DistributedCache.DistributedCacheOutputCacheProvider,
Microsoft.Web.DistributedCache"
cacheName="cacheOne" />
</outputCache>
</caching>
</webconfig>
Din acest moment aplicatia noastra o sa poata folosi cache-ing pe care Windows Azure il pune la dispozitie prin intermediul AppFabric. Pentru acest lucru aveti nevoie nu doar de un cont de Windows Azure ci si de un service namespace pe AppFabric, care nu este gratis.

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...

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...
