ReadOnlyDictionary in .NET 4.0 and 4.5

.NET 4.5 aduce destul de multe feature noi. Insa pana o sa fie adoptat pe proiectele in curs o sa treaca o perioada destul de lunga. Unele din aceste feature le putem avea si in .NET 4.0, doar ca trebuie sa scriem putin cod.
In .NET 4.5 daca avem nevoie de un dictionar care sa fie read-only este destul de simplu. Avem la dispozitie interfata IReadOnlyDictionary si implementarea acesteia. Implementarea poate sa fie gasita in namespace-ul System.Collections.Generic din 4.5.
Dictionary<int, string> dictionary = new Dictionary<int, string>();
dictionary.Add(1, "first");
dictionary.Add(2, "second");

ReadOnlyDictionary<string, int> readOnlyDictionary =
new ReadOnlyDictionary<string, int>(dictionary);

Ce este bine de stiut ca operatiile de add/edit/delete inca exista, doar ca in momentul in care acestea o sa fie apelate o sa arunce o exceptie de tip NotSupportedException.
Daca ati lucrat cu API-ul de Team Foundation, ati putut observa ca exista deja o implementare pentru acesta colecție. La fel si in API-ul de la Office 2007.
Daca nu lucram cu API-uri care au deja implementari a unui dictionar read-only, putem sa ne definim noi propia implementare. Tot ce trebuie sa facem este sa implementam interfata IDictionary care sa accepte in constructor un dictionar sau o colectie de elemente . Toate metodele care permit adaugare, modificare sau editare de elemente din dictionar nu trebuie implementate.
O alta varianta este sa va definiti si o interfata de tip IReadOnlyDictionary, care sa permita doar acces la date.
Mai jos puteti sa gasiti o implementare a unui ReadOnlyDictionary, implementand direct interfata IDictionary.
  public class ReadOnlyDictionary<TKey, TValue> : IDictionary<TKey, TValue>
{
private const string NotsupportedExceptionMessage = "This dictionary is read-only";

private readonly IDictionary<TKey, TValue> _dictionary;

public ReadOnlyDictionary(IDictionary<TKey, TValue> dictionary)
{
_dictionary = dictionary;
}

public void Add(TKey key, TValue value)
{
throw new NotSupportedException(NotsupportedExceptionMessage);
}

public bool ContainsKey(TKey key)
{
return _dictionary.ContainsKey(key);
}

public ICollection<TKey> Keys
{
get { return _dictionary.Keys; }
}

public bool TryGetValue(TKey key, out TValue value)
{
return _dictionary.TryGetValue(key, out value);
}

public bool Contains(KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue> item)
{
return _dictionary.Contains(item);
}

public void CopyTo(KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>[] array, int arrayIndex)
{
_dictionary.CopyTo(array, arrayIndex);
}

public int Count
{
get { return _dictionary.Count; }
}

public bool IsReadOnly
{
get { return true; }
}

public TValue this[TKey key]
{
get
{
return _dictionary[key];
}
set
{
throw new NotSupportedException(NotsupportedExceptionMessage);
}
}

public IEnumerator<KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>> GetEnumerator()
{
return _dictionary.GetEnumerator();
}

System.Collections.IEnumerator System.Collections.IEnumerable.GetEnumerator()
{
return (_dictionary as System.Collections.IEnumerable).GetEnumerator();
}

public bool Remove(TKey key)
{
throw new NotSupportedException(NotsupportedExceptionMessage);
}

public void Add(KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue> item)
{
throw new NotSupportedException(NotsupportedExceptionMessage);
}

public void Clear()
{
throw new NotSupportedException(NotsupportedExceptionMessage);
}

public bool Remove(KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue> item)
{
throw new NotSupportedException(NotsupportedExceptionMessage);
}

public ICollection<TValue> Values
{
get { throw new NotSupportedException(NotsupportedExceptionMessage); }
}
}

  1. Interesant - sau cine e mai lenes, va folosi o implementare gata facuta, precum GuardedDictionary din C5 collections: http://www.itu.dk/research/c5/

Why Database Modernization Matters for AI

  When companies transition to the cloud, they typically begin with applications and virtual machines, which is often the easier part of the process. The actual complexity arises later when databases are moved. To save time and effort, cloud adoption is more of a cloud migration in an IaaS manner, fulfilling current, but not future needs. Even organisations that are already in the cloud find that their databases, although “migrated,” are not genuinely modernised. This disparity becomes particularly evident when they begin to explore AI technologies. Understanding Modernisation Beyond Migration Database modernisation is distinct from merely relocating an outdated database to Azure. It's about making your data layer ready for future needs, like automation, real-time analytics, and AI capabilities. AI needs high throughput, which can be achieved using native DB cloud capabilities. When your database runs in a traditional setup (even hosted in the cloud), in that case, you will enc...

Cloud Myths: Migrating to the cloud is quick and easy (Pill 2 of 5 / Cloud Pills)

The idea that migration to the cloud is simple, straightforward and rapid is a wrong assumption. It’s a common misconception of business stakeholders that generates delays, budget overruns and technical dept. A migration requires laborious planning, technical expertise and a rigorous process.  Migrations, especially cloud migrations, are not one-size-fits-all journeys. One of the most critical steps is under evaluation, under budget and under consideration. The evaluation phase, where existing infrastructure, applications, database, network and the end-to-end estate are evaluated and mapped to a cloud strategy, is crucial to ensure the success of cloud migration. Additional factors such as security, compliance, and system dependencies increase the complexity of cloud migration.  A misconception regarding lift-and-shits is that they are fast and cheap. Moving applications to the cloud without changes does not provide the capability to optimise costs and performance, leading to ...

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...
