Cum putem sa verificam tipul unei variabile intr-un SWITCH

Sunt momente cand avem nevoie de a face anumite actiuni in functie de tipul variabilei. Din pacate SWITCH-ul nu ne permite acest lucru in mod direct si suntem nevoiți sa apelam la IF..ELSE.
if (item is int)
{...}
else if (item is string)
{...}
else if (item is DateTime)
{...}
else if (item is ...)
Codul pe care il obtinem nu este foarte lizibil. Daca totusi am vrea sa folosim SWITCH am fi nevoiti sa lucram cu string-uri obtinand ceva asemanator cu:
swtich( v.GetType().Name)
{
case typeof(int).Name:
...
break;
case typeof(DateTime).Name:
...
break;
...
}
Parca e mai bine decat codul precedent, dar ceea ce nu e tocmai bine este ca lucram cu string-uri. O solutie la aceasta problema este sa folosim TypeCode. Acest enum contine toate tipurile built-in din .NET.
switch( Type.GetTypeCode(v.GetType)))
{
case TypeCode.Int32:
...
break;
case TypeCode.DateTime:
...
break;
...
}
In cazul in care lucram doar cu tipurile built-in din .NET totul este perfect. Ceea ce imi place la TypeCode este ca are valori precum "Empty" sau "DBNull". Dar ce ne facem daca lucram cu vectori, cu liste generice sau cu entități proprii. In acest caz TypeCode nu mai poate fi folosit. Pentru acest caz eu am gasit doua rezolvari. O solutie este sa ne folosim de un dicționar de forma:
Dictionary<Type, int>
sau
Dictionary<Type, [CustomEnum]>
In cazul acesta am putea sa adaugam la initializarea dictionarului toate tipurile cu care lucram, iar apoi sa scriem un switch asemanator cu acesta:
swtich( types[v.GetType()])     // types - este o instanta a dictionarului in care avem toate tipurile cu care lucram.
{
case 0: //sau case CustomEnum.Int32
...
break;
case 1: //sau case CustomEnum.DateTime
...
break;
...
}
Urmatoarea solutie pe care o propun este sa ne definim o clasa CustomSwitch iar pentru fiecare case in parte sa ne definim actiunea dorita. Putem sa ne definim modelul si intr-un mod fluent, a.i. la final sa putem aveam ceva asemanator cu:
var customSwitch = new CustomSwitch(v)
.Case<int>( x => ...actiune... );
.Case<DateTime>( x => ...actiune... );
Mai jos puteti sa gasiti implemenentarea pentru CustomSwitch:
public class CustomSwitch
{
public CustomSwitch(Object obj)
{
Obj = obj;
}

public Object Obj { get; set; }
}
public static class CustomSwitchExtensions
{
public static CustomSwitch Case<T>( this CustomSwitch cs,Action<T> action)
where T : class
{
var obj = s.Obj as T;
if (obj != null)
{
action(obj);
return null;
}
}
}
La aceasta implementare s-ar mai putea adauga si un flag care sa permita un mecanism de fall through si prin celelalte case-uri. Din cele doua variante propuse as alege a doua varianta doar in cazul in care as avea nevoie si de un mecanism de fall through. De exemplu in cazul in care as avea nevoie sa execut doua case-uri pentru un obiect( ex. in cazul in care implementateaza interfata IA o actiune, si pentru interfata IB o alta actiune).

  1. :) Daca faci switch pe type ai o problema mult mai mare decat "cum sa faci". Think polymorphism :)

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; } ...

Navigating Cloud Strategy after Azure Central US Region Outage

 Looking back, July 19, 2024, was challenging for customers using Microsoft Azure or Windows machines. Two major outages affected customers using CrowdStrike Falcon or Microsoft Azure computation resources in the Central US. These two outages affected many people and put many businesses on pause for a few hours or even days. The overlap of these two issues was a nightmare for travellers. In addition to blue screens in the airport terminals, they could not get additional information from the airport website, airline personnel, or the support line because they were affected by the outage in the Central US region or the CrowdStrike outage.   But what happened in reality? A faulty CrowdStrike update affected Windows computers globally, from airports and healthcare to small businesses, affecting over 8.5m computers. Even if the Falson Sensor software defect was identified and a fix deployed shortly after, the recovery took longer. In parallel with CrowdStrike, Microsoft provided a too
