WCF and "Error in deserializing body of reply message for operation …" errors

By
These days I had to update a component that is used in Microsoft Dynamic AX. I don’t know to work with AX, but some time ago I had to write a component in C# that calls a WCF service of a 3rd party and is used by an AX application.
The client proxy from C# component was update with the new client proxy; the code was also updated with the new logic. The unit-tests were updated also and we had a full green. Perfect, we send the component to AX team to update the reference to the component.
They come back to us with a big ugly error:
Error in deserializing body of reply message for operation …
WTF, we had the same endpoint. We had a client proxy that works on our unit-tests and a command line test application, but when AX make calls using our component we get this great error message. The oddest thing is that we receive this error even if the message that is returned from the endpoint has only 20 characters. Before updating the AX worked great with our component.
Looking over the internet we found we should need to increase the message size. We increased the size of the message like this: 
<readerQuotas maxDepth="999990" maxStringContentLength="999990" maxArrayLength="999990" 
maxBytesPerRead="999990" maxNameTableCharCount="999990" />
This can be updated from code, if you have a custom binding that is set from code:
bindingElement.ReaderQuotas.MaxArrayLength = Int32.MaxValue;
bindingElement.ReaderQuotas.MaxBytesPerRead = Int32.MaxValue;
bindingElement.ReaderQuotas.MaxDepth = Int32.MaxValue;
bindingElement.ReaderQuotas.MaxNameTableCharCount = Int32.MaxValue;
bindingElement.ReaderQuotas.MaxStringContentLength = Int32.MaxValue;
Get what? The problem was solved, everything works as expected. The interesting thing is that even if the message from the servers was very small we still received the error message if we don’t set the reader quotas.
The error was pretty interesting, because we received this even if the message was extremely small.

    Or in other words: 'If nothing else works, get a bigger hammer..' :-)

      It seems that this there is a problem related to this on AX. This is why X++ is not for us :-)

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...

Can User Technical Profile Influence AI Architecture Decisions?

By
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

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...
