Windows Azure and the local developer's concerns

Has it ever happened to you that when a .NET application is endorsed to you, that you need to run a dozen of apps and services just to see what the application is about. Database, Website, APIs, Configuration Credentials, etc. And then you go to the next concern, WHERE DO I RUN THESE THINGS? should i use my extra laptop? or my desktop? should i use my current development machine?

Enter Windows Azure ( Window's Cloud Computing Service ). Azure offers you all the machines, services, apis that you will need.

How to map .NET class properties with same keys

usually, when we want to map 2 objects with same properties, we set a.key1 = b.key2 , a.key2 = b.key2 , so on....

there's a class in .NET that makes this easier ... System.Reflection

so in your C# class, put a  using System.Reflection

then do something like below in your method. Mine is a sample where I am updating a class name SiteFeatures. Parameter is also of the same class, and I also have the id.

CODE STARTS HERE

public bool Edit(SiteFeature aSiteFeature, int id)         {             try             {                 SiteFeature item = context.SiteFeatures.Where(b => b.SiteFeatureID == id).SingleOrDefault();                 if (item != null)                 {                     // Iterate the Properties of the destination instance and                     // populate them from their source counterparts                     PropertyInfo[] destinationProperties = item.GetType().GetProperties();                     foreach (PropertyInfo destinationPI in destinationProperties)                     {                         //dont include index PK                         if (destinationPI.Name == "SiteID") continue;                         PropertyInfo sourcePI = aSiteFeature.GetType().GetProperty(destinationPI.Name);                         destinationPI.SetValue(item, sourcePI.GetValue(aSiteFeature, null), null);                     }                     context.SaveChanges();                 }                 return true;             }             catch (Exception ex)             {                 return false;             }         }

CODE ENDS HERE

[sonborj]

you know why Starbucks is such a hit here in RP? not because of the coffee, we got lots of arabica and robusta mills here. It's because it gives us a taste of America, and just a few minutes inside that store makes us feel that we got a chance of immigrating or being there in the US of A. So if you want to buy a franchise of a popular US brand, make sure you bring with it something that will transport us to the snows of Boston, the beaches of Miami, the limelight of Hollywood. Don't just bring the brand, bring the country.

How to use Regular Expressions in Programming

Have you ever wondered of a Programming tool that will help you find all occurrences of a word in a very large text file? You can't use SQL because this is a text file that can't be imported into your database fields.

Enter REGEX.

Regular Expressions or more popularly know as REGEX is a powerful tool to search text or string patterns in large text files.

How do you use it? For C# , do this :

1. put in your using block

using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

2. In the code itself initialize the Regex class and the Regex Pattern .

string mytext = "<li> list 1 </li> <li> list 2 </li> <li> list 3 </li>" ;

var allmatches = Regex.Matches(mytext,@"<li>([^)]*)</li>");

3. The  part  of ([^)]*)  means the REGEX tool will capture all the occurrences of text that are in between  <li>   and   </li> 

4. Now to use the captured occurrences

foreach (Match aMatch in allmatches ) {      string capturedtext = aMatch.Groups[1].Value;      //do something with the captured text

    Console.WriteLine(capturedtext);  }

5. Match is a class under the REGEX mother class

6. Console printout will be  123

Kendo Upload widget and MVC

How do you save an uploaded file using a Kendo Upload widget?

Important Notes:

1. Don't use kendo's sample name for the control which is photos[] . Just use photos or anyname without the array symbol [].

2. Use IEnumerable<HttpPostedFileBase> as a parameter in your controller, and make sure the parameter name is same as the control name, in our case it's photos.

The API from Kendo uses a sample that sets the name of the input control to photos[] . You need to override this to just photos for processing in the Controller.

@using (Html.BeginForm())  {        

    <div>

        <input name="photos[]" id="photos" type="file" />

    </div>

}

View

<input name="photos" id="photos" type="file" />

 Controller

 [HttpPost]  public ActionResult UploadForm(int id, FormCollection collection,    IEnumerable<HttpPostedFileBase> photos)  {

     foreach (var file in photos)      {          //check for null. kendos control uploads an empty input file by default           if (file == null) continue;           //check for content           if (file.ContentLength == 0) continue;           // Some browsers send file names with full path. This needs to be stripped.           var fileName = Path.GetFileName(file.FileName);           var physicalPath = Path.Combine(Server.MapPath("~/Uploads"), fileName);           file.SaveAs(physicalPath);

    }

 }
