Web Service Dynamic Proxy

Rodolfo Finochietti — Tue, 09 Jan 2007 15:03:00 GMT

As a part of a web service adapter for Service Invocation Framework I developed a code for dynamic web service proxy generation. Today I have decided to extract this code from Service Invocation Framework and transform it into a small library for call a web service without generate static proxy code.

Download the library code and a sample of use from here.

Enjoy it!

Google Analytics Module

Rodolfo Finochietti — Tue, 07 Nov 2006 12:52:00 GMT

Some months ago Daniel Cazzulino publishes an excellent IHttpModule to use Google Analitycs with adding code in the pages of a web site.
After using it some weeks I found an error that affects the Clearscreen CAPTCHA Antispam Control.
Basically the problem is that the module adds the HTML code necessary to use Google Analytics in responses that are not HTML (like an image).

This is quick fix to this bug:

void OnBeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   if ( String.Compare("text/html", application.Response.ContentType, true) == 0
        && ! ( application.Request.QueryString.Count != 0
              && application.Request.QueryString.GetKey(0) == "hip" ) )
      application.Response.Filter = new AnalyticsStream(application.Response.Filter, accountNumber);
}

Here you can download a test solution to reproduce this bug.

Mock Data Provider

Rodolfo Finochietti — Wed, 16 Aug 2006 17:18:00 GMT

Many times it is necessary to be able to test each layer of an application individually. This task becomes specially difficult with the data access code and the unit tests since is complex to assure the results of the tests if each developer doesn't have a private database.

To solve this problem I have developed a ADO.NET Data Provider that allows to test the data access code without accessing to the database.

The Mock Data Provider has two operation modes:
In the "recording" mode it acts of Proxy against another ADO.NET Data Provider and it records the results of all the executions against the database.
In the "mock" mode it returns the results that it registered previously in the "recording" mode, without being connected to the database.

In the conference that I will give on Thursday 24th I will make a complete demonstration of this tool meanwhile you can download the code from here together with a example of use.

Visual Studio Code Snippets Error

Rodolfo Finochietti — Mon, 17 Apr 2006 14:48:00 GMT

Yesterday after reorganizing my code snippets the code editor of visual studio still show the same snippets folder that no longer exist. The solution for this problem was to eliminate the file C:\Documents and Settings\[UserName]\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\1033\ExpansionsXML.xml

Yesterday accidentally I pressed the combination of keys Ctrl+Tab in Visual Studio 2005, I was surprised with the result. This combination of keys allows to change between documents and windows without using the mouse and help me to work more quick. Try it!.
