WCF and Silverlight - How to add custom information to a message header

In acest post am discutat despre cum se pot pune informatii in header-ul unui mesaj care este trimis prin WCF. In cazul in care incercati sa folositi aceasta solutie pentru un client pe Silverlight, o sa observati ca desi serverul adauga proprietatiile in header-ul mesajului acestea nu ajung la client, chiar daca pe sarma sunt adaugate.
Din Silverlight nu avem acces la toate proprietatiile care sunt trimise in header. Avem acces doar la cateva proprietati. De exemplu una din propietati este StatusCode. Acesta are valoarea 200 daca apelul s-a terminat cu success.
Datele care le punem in header pentru un client Siverlight, trebuie sa fie puse ca un nou Header. Mai jos gasiti cum puteti adauga un nou header de pe server, iar clientul cum il poate accesa. Al doilea parametru pe care l-am setat cu empty string reprezinta namespace URI pentru header-ul nostru.
public class ServerTokenInspector : IDispatchMessageInspector
{
public void BeforeSendReply(ref Message reply, object correlationState)
{
reply.Headers.Add(MessageHeader.CreateHeader("ServerToken", string.Empty, Guid.NewGuid()));
}

public object AfterReceiveRequest(ref Message request, IClientChannel channel, InstanceContext instanceContext)
{
return null;
}
}

public class ServerTokenClientInspector : IClientMessageInspector
{
public void AfterReceiveReply(ref Message reply, object correlationState)
{
if (reply.Headers.FindHeader("ServerToken", string.Empty) >= 0)
{
Guid token = reply.Headers.GetHeader<Guid>("ServerToken", string.Empty);
}
}

public object BeforeSendRequest(ref Message request, IClientChannel channel)
{
return null;
}
}

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.

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...
