Assembly comun intre mai multe tipuri de proiecte in Visual Studio

Uneori lucram cu proiecte care au assembly-uri atat pe Silverlight cat si solutii clasice .NET. Din pacate un assembly de Silverlight nu se fi adaugat ca si referinta la un proiect normal( sau invers).
O solutie la aceasta problema este sa adaugam fisierele ca si "Add as link" intr-unul din cele doua proiecte. Dar problema apare la compilare, in cazul in care apelam API care nu este suportat de una din platforme si uitam sa compilam fiecare solutie in parte pentru a face aceasta verificare.
Din aceasta cauza ne putem trezii cu neplaceri.
Ar fi frumos sa avem la dispozitie un proiect comun, pe care sa il putem referentia in orice proiect. Aici vine in ajutor Microsoft si ne pune la dispozitie Portable Library Tools.
Din pacate acest lucru trebuia facut in momentul in care au lansat Visual Studio 2010, dar niciodata nu este prea tarziu.
Cu ce ne ajuta acest tool? Avem posibilitatea sa avem un assembly comun intre Silverlight, XNA, Windows Phone, XBox si proiecte .NET clasice. Din pacate nu este perfect, inca se lucreaza la el, dar pana acuma nu am avur probleme cu el.
Dupa instalarea acestuia o sa avem un nou template in lista de proiecte la Visual Studio denumit: Portable Class Library. Acest proiect va putea sa fie adaugat ca referinta in orice alt proiect.

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...

Can User Technical Profile Influence AI Architecture Decisions?

In the last few days, I ran a small experiment on Devin/Windsurf/Cascade, BMAD, and LLM-based architecture decisions. The initial concern was simple: if an AI coding assistant knows something about the user, for example, that the user is a Java developer or a .NET developer, can this information influence the architecture and technology stack that the AI will propose? This question is important because many companies are starting to use AI tools not only for coding but also for product discovery, architecture, documentation, and technical decision-making. If the AI is influenced by the developer's personal profile, the result may not be fully neutral. It may look like a business or architecture decision, but in reality, it may be partially shaped by the context of the person using the tool. The test was done using BMAD with Devin/Windsurf/Cascade. The scenario was a unified field service operations platform. The task was to let BMAD refine the product, define the architecture and s...

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...
