MVC 3 - Error handling

Cat de mult va place ecranul galben intr-o aplicatie web? Cred ca e la fel de faimos ca si ecranul albastru din Windows. Mai este numit si YSOD – Yellow Screen Of Death. Acest ecran nu ar trebuii sa apara niciodata in productie. Mai jos o sa vorbim despre doua modalitati cum putem sa evitam acest ecran.

MVC 3 ne aduce o functionalitate build-in pentru handling la erori. Atributul HandleErrorAttribute se ocupa de acest lucru pentru noi si face o treaba foarte bine atata timp cat este folosit corespunzator. Putem sa il folosim in doua metode.

O metoda este sa decoram controlerele sau actiniile cu acest atribut. In acest mod, orice eroare care apare in controlerul/actiunea noastra o sa fie prinsa de catre MVC 3. O alta variant este sa adaugam in lista de GlobalFilter si atributul nostru – acest lucru se face in Global.asax.cs - Application_Start. In acest fel nu are importanta de unde vine eroare, o sa fie facut handle la eroare de catre MVC 3.

[HandleError]
public class HelpController : Controller
{
[HandleError]
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
}
sau
protected void Application_Start()

{
RouteTable.Routes.Add(new HandleErrorAttribute());
}
Dupa ce am facut acest pas trebuie sa active custom errors. Acest lucru se face din fisierul de configurare, in sectiunea system.web:

Configurarea facuta cu atributul de mai sus functioneaza doar pentru erorile de tipul 500, pentru erorile de tip 404, este nevoie sa specificam exact pagina la care facem redirectarea.

In loc sa folosim o pagina HTML, putem sa facem o redirectare spre o actiune a unui controller. View-ul default care se foloseste in cazul in care apare o eroare se gaseste in “/views/shared/Error.cshtml”. By default, acesta afiseaza numele la exceptie, mesajul si locatia de unde a fost aruncata (control + actiune). In cazul in care vreti sa schimbari redirectarea care exista by default, se pate face in felul urmator:

filters.Add(new HandleErrorAttribute
{
ExceptionType = typeof(MyCustomException),
View = "MyCustomError", // Un view care se afla in directorul de shared

// cu numele MyCumstomError.cshtml
Order = 2
});
Trebuie avut grija cum se face handling la errorile de tip 404. O sa scriu putin mai tarziu o explicatie mai detaliata despre 404.

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...
