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/

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...

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...
