IComparer generic - propietatea Default

De obicei cand dorim sa putem compara doua obiecte de acelasi tip folosim IComparar. Aceasta ne pune la dispozitie metoda
int Compare(T x, T y);
Valorea returnata de aceasta metoda poate sa fie:
  • >0 - daca x este mai mare ca y;
  • =0 - daca x este egal cu y;
  • <0 - daca x este mai mic ca y;
In cazul in care una( sau amandoua) din valori, metoda poate sa returneze:
  • >0 - daca y este null;
  • =0 - daca x so y sunt null;
  • <0 - daca x este mai mic ca y;
Dar pentru a putea face aceasta comparatie una din valori trebuie sa fie diferita de null, atlfel o sa avem parte de NullReferenceException. Pentru a putea rezolva aceasta problema putem sa avem ceva de genul:
var valoare = x == null ? ( y == null ? 0 : -1 ) : x.CompareTo(y);
Este necesar sa verificam daca una din valor este null. Valoarea lui y nu trebe sa o verificam obligatoriu, dar cea a lui x trebuie sa o verificam mereu.
Pentru a rezolva acest neajuns, avem la dispozitie propietatea Default pe IComparable. Aceasta va crea automat comparatorul default pentru tipul de data dat. De exemplu daca lucram cu un obiect de tip nullable, putem sa evitam sa facem verificarea descrisa mai sus folosind aceasta propietate:
int? x,y;
// ...
var valoare = Comparar<int?>.Default.Compare(x,y);
Acesta va crea instanta in regim de Singleton, o instanta a clasei Comparer. Tipul de data T pe care il folosim trebuie sa implementeze interfata IComparable.
Aceasta propietate ne poate scapa de grijile de a verifica fiecare element daca este null inainte de a face compararea.

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...
