Web application end - how to determine why has stopped

Sa spunem ca avem o aplicatie web care se afla pe IIS. Observam ca aplicatia uneori moare si nu reusimg sa ne dam seama din ce cauza. Din anumite motive "exceptia" care se intampla in aplicatie nu poate sa fie prinsa si aplicația moare fără sa logeze nici o informație. De ce spun "exceptie", deoarece uneori poate sa fie vorba de un pool recycle care sa genereze acest comportament( cauza nu este mereu o exceptie in adevaratul sens al cuvântului).
Ce putem face? O solutie este ca in Global.asax.cs, in metoda Application_End sa obtinem date despre motivul pentru care aplicatie se termina si sa scriem aceste date in trace sau sa le logam undeva. Aceasta metoda o sa fie apelata de fiecare data cand aplicatia este oprita. Din pacate informatiile pentru care aplicatia este oprita se pot obtine doar prin intermedul reflection. Nu avem o alta modalitate sa obtinem aceste date. Daca aplicatia primeste un semnal din exterior ca trebuie sa se opreasca metoda Application_Error nu o sa fie apelata.
Mai jos gasiti un exemplu de implementare a metodei Application_End:
 public void Application_End()
        {
            HttpRuntime runtime = (HttpRuntime)typeof(System.Web.HttpRuntime).InvokeMember("_theRuntime",
                                                                                             BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.GetField,
                                                                                             null, null, null);
            if (runtime == null)
            {
                return;
            }

            string message = (string)runtime.GetType().InvokeMember("_shutDownMessage",
                                                                                 BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.GetField,
                                                                                 null, runtime, null);

            string stackTrace = (string)runtime.GetType().InvokeMember("_shutDownStack",
                                                                           BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.GetField,
                                                                           null, runtime, null);

            Trace.WriteLine(string.Format("Application_End: {0} {1}", message, stackTrace));

        }
Enjoy!

  1. Un mic dezavantaj : datorita folosirii reflection pentru a citi membrii privati/protejati, codul de mai sus nu va rula in medium trust.

    1. Sticumva o alta solutie la aceasta problema fara sa folosim reflection?

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. 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...

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...
