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(

Azure AD and AWS Cognito side-by-side

In the last few weeks, I was involved in multiple opportunities on Microsoft Azure and Amazon, where we had to analyse AWS Cognito, Azure AD and other solutions that are available on the market. I decided to consolidate in one post all features and differences that I identified for both of them that we should need to take into account. Take into account that Azure AD is an identity and access management services well integrated with Microsoft stack. In comparison, AWS Cognito is just a user sign-up, sign-in and access control and nothing more. The focus is not on the main features, is more on small things that can make a difference when you want to decide where we want to store and manage our users.  This information might be useful in the future when we need to decide where we want to keep and manage our users.  Feature Azure AD (B2C, B2C) AWS Cognito Access token lifetime Default 1h – the value is configurable 1h – cannot be modified

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.

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
