DataContract and XMLIgnore attribute

Intr-un post anterior am discutat despre cum putem sa serializam un IDictionary in format XML. In mod normal o clasa care nu este decorata cu atributul DataContract o sa poata fi serializata folosind DataContractSerializer fara nici o problema. In acest caz, toate proprietatiile si field-urile publice o sa fie serializate.
In specificatiile la DataContractSerializer, ne este specificat ca orice atribut folosit pentru serializare in format XML (XmlIgnore, XmlArray, Serializable etc.) sunt ignorate. Totusi cand obiectul de mai jos era serializat, atributul XmlIgnore este luat in considerare.
public Foo
{
    public string Name
    {
        get;
        set;
    }
    [XmlIgnore]
    public string Value
    {
        get;
        private set;
    }
}
In prima faza cea ce se intampla este destul de ciudat. In mod normal acesta nu ar trebui sa fie ignorat, dar practic proprietatea este ignorata in totalitate.
In realitate DataContractSerializer functioneaza asa cum ne-am astepta. Dar daca ne uitam mai atenti la modul in care este definita proprietatea Value, putem sa observam ca set-ul este private. DataContractSerializer serializeaza toate proprietatiile publice, iar Value nu este public. Aceasta are doar get-erul public, iar set-erul este private. Cu sau fara atributul XmlIgnore, aceasta proprietate nu este serializata.
Enjoy!

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(

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 provided a too
