Copy a directory recursive

Ultima oara cand a fost nevoie sa fac asa ceva a fost in timpul facultății. In seara asta aveam de lucru la un proiect ce se ocupa cu un deploy si supriza, aveam nevoie de acest mecanism. Speram ca .NET 4.0 sa fie plin de surprize, dar din pacate nu. Asa ca am inceput sa implementez de manuta si uite ce a iesit:
public static class DirectoryHelper
{
///
/// Copy recursive a directory to a specific location.
///

/// Source directory.
/// Destination directory.
public static void Copy(string sourceDirecotry, string destionationDirectory)
{
if (!Directory.Exists(destionationDirectory))
{
Directory.CreateDirectory(destionationDirectory);
}
//Copy all files from the current directory.
foreach (string file in Directory.GetFiles(sourceDirecotry))
{
var fileName=Path.GetFileName(file);
File.Copy(Path.Combine(destionationDirectory,fileName), Path.Combine(destionationDirectory, fileName));
}
//Copy files from the subfolders.
foreach (string folder in Directory.GetDirectories(sourceDirecotry))
{
var directoryName = Path.GetFileName(folder);
Copy(Path.Combine(destionationDirectory,directoryName), Path.Combine(destionationDirectory, directoryName));
}
}
}
M-am gandit si la o varianta LINQ, sa folosesc ForEach si expresii lambda, dar nu e la fel de rapid ca un foreach scris de mana. Un For ar fi si mai rapid, dar nu cred ca e cazul, prefer sa las codul sa fie cat mai usor de inteles. Avantajul la LINQ ar fi fost ca se poate scrie fara apeluri recursive( o sa revin maine si cu varianta aceasta).
Dezamagirea mea a fost in momentul in care am vrut sa il pun ca extension method la System.IO.Directory. Nu se poate asa ceva din cauza ca System.IO.Directory este o clasa statica. Asa ca trebe sa ne multumim cu clase helpere sau sa adaugam aceasta metoda ca extensie la DirectoryInfo.

Atentie, codul nu functioneaza daca unul din path-uri este subpath pentru celalat path. In cazul meu validarea pentru acest caz se face in alt loc.

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...
