Day 4 of TechEd 2012 - Amsterdam

By
Astazi a fost ultima zi a TechEd Europe 2012. Ca orice ultima zi a trecut extrem de repede dar a fost plina de continut de specialitate. Haideti sa vedem la ce sesiuni am fost astazi.
Am inceput ziua asa cum se cuvine, cu o sesiune de async calls pentru .NET 4.5 - "Async made simple in Windows 8, with C# and VB". Pot sa va spun ca am savurat aceasta prezentare, nu din cauza ca era vorba despre async, ci din cauza ca odata la 2-3 minute aflai ceva noi. Desi pana acuma am folosit async, am aflat destul de multe lucruri noi in cadrul acestei sesiuni pe care nu le stiam pana acuma.
Urmatoarea pe lista a fost "Achieving Enterprise Integration Patters with Windows Azure Service Bus". A fost o sesiune la fel de interesata ca si prima, iar la cum se anunta lucrurile Service Bus-ul din Azure devine din ce in ce mai serios. Nu mai este o jucarie.
A treia sesiune din ziua de azi a fost "Building High Performing Parallel Application Services on Windows Azure". Aveam alte asteptari de la aceasta sesiune, a fost destul de seaca, iar continutul nu a fost la cea ce ma asteptam din pacate.
TechEd-ul l-am terminat cu "Developing High Performing Parallel Application Services on Windows Azure". Se pot face lucruri foarte frumoase pe Windows Azure, mai ales cand vorbim de simulari si de analize date, sper sa am ocazie sa lucrez vreodata la un simulator care isi face partea computationala in cloud.
Primele doua prezentari din acesta zi au fost cireara de pe tort de la tot TechEd-ul pentru mine. Doar pentru aceste doua prezentari merita un drum in Amsterdam.
Hot tip of the day: In aceata zi este despre Service Bus si SharePoint. Se zvoneste prin Amsterdam ca urmatoarea versiune de SharePoint o sa foloseasca pe partea de workflow (in zona de session state) Service Bus. O sa revin cu un post pe aceasta tema cat de curand.
Si bonus, pentru cei care au Windows Phone 7+, daca tineti timp de 5 secunde butonul de lock cand acesta este blocat, camera video se porneste automat.
La revedere Amsterdam, la revedere TechEd Europe 2012. Ne vedem anul viitor.

    Nice :)
    Cat despre WP7, probabil depinde de producator - daca apas 5s butonul de lock face shutdown la mine - pentru camera video e suficient sa apas mai mult butonul dedicat din dreapta si porneste, chiar daca e in lock mode..

Windows Docker Containers can make WIN32 API calls, use COM and ASP.NET WebForms

By
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(...

How to audit an Azure Cosmos DB

By
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...

ADO.NET provider with invariant name 'System.Data.SqlClient' could not be loaded

By
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...
