Windows Phone 7.5( Mango) support SQL CE

Windows Phone 7.5( Mango) suporta SQL CE(SQL Compact Edition). Acest feature era de mult timp asteptat. Acuma sa vedem cum se foloseste.
Baza de date poate sa fie pusa in doua locatii:
  1. isolated storage
  2. installation folder
In functie de locatie si de parametrii, stringul de conexiune poate sa aibe urmatoarea forma:
  • Data Source = 'isostore:/MyDB.sdf; - cand baza de date este in isolated storage
  • Data Source = 'isostore:/MyDB.sdf';Password='1234'; - cand baza de date este in folderul unde aplicatia a fost instalata si este encriptata cu parola 1234
La stringul de conexiue putem sa setam si alte valori precum culture-ul( "Culture Identifier") si daca este case sensitive( "Case Sensitive").
Trebuie sa tinem cont ca avem cateva limitari pe Mango cand vrem sa folosim SQL CE:
  • fisierele sdf sunt stocate si deschise din isolation storage
  • daca dorim un mecanism de ORM este nevoie sa folosim LINQ2SQL
  • T-SQL queries nu este suportat( nu putem sa avem tranzactii)
  • o referinta la System.Data.Linq trebuie adaugata
  • pentru definierea modelului in acest moment avem doua optiuni SQLMetal pentru Windows Phone Mango sau code-first. By default nu avem un tool grafic pentru definirea acestor mapari.
  • formatul la string-ul de conexiune este unul specific
Versiune de SQL CE care este suportata este SQL CE 4.0. Se poate lucra direct cu EF 4.1.
Saptamana urmatoare o sa revin cu un exemplu intreg.

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(...

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.

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...

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 provi...
