ReadOnlyCollection

Va mai aduceti aminte ca in C++ puteam sa declaram o variabila sa fie constanta, fara a ne face probleme ca un utilizator ii poate schimba valoarea. In C# putem sa facem un lucru asemanator folosindu-ne de readonly.
public class Car
{
internal readonly int _id;

public Car(int id)
{
_id = id;
}
}
Doar in contructor se va putea initializa field-ul _id. Valoarea acestui camp nu se va putea modifica in nici o locatie din cod. Dar daca in loc de int am aveam o lista, ar aparea probleme. Chiar daca nu se va putea instanta din nou acest camp, continutul acestuia se va putea modifica.
public class Car
{
internal readonly List<Component> _components;

public Car(List<Component> components)
{
_components = components;
}
}

public class Logan : Car
{
// ...

public void SomeMethod()
{
_components.Add(..);
_components.Remove(..);
}
}
Oricine ar putea sa adauge sau sa stearga elemente din lista. Am avea nevoie de o lista care sa permita doar operatii de read. Pentru acest lucru .NET ne vine in ajutor si ne ofera clasa generica ReadOnlyCollection. Aceasta colectie nu contine metode prin care putem sa adaugam elemente sau sa stergem elemente din lista. Totodata indexer-ul ne permite sa facem doar get si atat.
Orice lista contine metoda AsReadOnly(), care ne returneaza o lista de tip ReadOnlyCollection.
List<int> items = new List<int>(){ 1, 2 ,3};
items.Add(4);
items.Remove(1);
items[1] = 10;
ReadOnlyCollection<int> itemsReadOnly = items.AsReadOnly();
itemsReadOnly.Add(4); //Eroare la compilare, metoda nu exista;
itemsReadOnly.Remove(1); //Eroare la compilare, metoda nu exista;
itemsReadOnly[1] = 10; //Doar get se poate face;
Chiar daca incercam sa facem apoi o conversie la List, nu o sa putem, .NET ne returneaza o eroare de genul: collection is read-only.
Exemplul dat cu clasa de tip Car, poate sa rescris in forma urmatoare:
public class Car
{
internal readonly ReadOnlyCollection<Component> _components;

public Car(ReadOnlyCollection<Component> components) //sau public Car(List<Component> components)
{
_components = components; //sau _components = components.AsReadOnly();
}
}

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...

Why Database Modernization Matters for AI

  When companies transition to the cloud, they typically begin with applications and virtual machines, which is often the easier part of the process. The actual complexity arises later when databases are moved. To save time and effort, cloud adoption is more of a cloud migration in an IaaS manner, fulfilling current, but not future needs. Even organisations that are already in the cloud find that their databases, although “migrated,” are not genuinely modernised. This disparity becomes particularly evident when they begin to explore AI technologies. Understanding Modernisation Beyond Migration Database modernisation is distinct from merely relocating an outdated database to Azure. It's about making your data layer ready for future needs, like automation, real-time analytics, and AI capabilities. AI needs high throughput, which can be achieved using native DB cloud capabilities. When your database runs in a traditional setup (even hosted in the cloud), in that case, you will enc...

AI ROI without hype: a practical way to measure value using risk adjustment + Azure Copilot example

Most people know what ROI means, but it’s harder to calculate for AI projects. The numbers are less predictable than with traditional platforms because many AI projects never reach stable production. IDC says only about 44% of custom AI apps and 53% of third-party AI apps make it from proof of concept to production. That’s why it’s important to look at ROI through a risk lens, not just cost versus benefit. One useful approach is to use a risk-adjusted formula: AI ROI = (AI Business Value Income / (Initial Investment + Annual Costs)) × Success Probability where, >AI Business Value Income (over N years) Consider a 2 to 3 year period and include both direct and indirect value: Direct: time saved, fewer tickets, higher conversion, lower fraud. Indirect: improved customer or employee experience and quicker decisions. For these, use measurable stand-ins like CSAT, churn, time to resolution, or hours saved, and estimate conservatively. >Initial Investment This covers more than just buil...
