I am working with the Dribbble API, and there are three models that I am currently using:
User
Team
Shot
A Shot is something that a User or Team uploads to their respective portfolio to be shown off. This can be an image or an animation. A User can belong to multiple Teams, while a Team can have multiple Users.
The three models each have many properties, which I have provided below.
User takes the following structure:
/// Encapsulates information about a Dribbble User.
public struct User {
// MARK: - Properties
/// The identifier of the User.
public var identifier: Int?
/// The name of the User.
public var name: String?
/// The username of the User.
public var username: String?
/// The `URL` for the User's Dribbble page.
public var htmlURL: URL?

public var membersCount: Int?

public var membersURL: URL?
/// The `URL` for the Team Shots.
public var teamShotsURL: URL?
}
Shot takes the following structure:
/// Encapsulates information about a Dribbble Shot.
public struct Shot {
// MARK: - Properties
/// The identifier of the Shot.
public var identifier: Int?
/// The title of the Shot.
public var title: String?
/// The description of the Shot.
public var description: String?
/// The size of the Shot.
public var size: CGSize?
/// The `URL` for the Shot's high-definition image.
public var highDefinitionImageURL: URL?

public var teaserImageURL: URL?
/// The number of views for the Shot.
public var viewsCount: Int?
/// The number of likes for the Shot.
public var likesCount: Int?

public var projectsURL: URL?
/// The `URL` for the Shot's Rebounds.
public var reboundsURL: URL?
/// Whether the Shot is animated.
public var isAnimated: Bool?
/// The tags associated with the Shot.
public var tags: Array<String>?
/// The `User` that the Shot belongs to.
public var user: User?
/// The `team` that she Shot belongs to.
public var team: Team?
}
User and Team have many duplicated properties, while Shot has a few that User and Team have. If I take the protocol route for these models, there will be many protocol implementations.
In my case, I have no reason to have an Array of Identifiable types or WebsiteURL types, or any other type that conforms to a protocol for the duplicated properties. I will have an Array of Shots, which belong to either Users or Teams. I will also have Arrays for Users and Arrays for Teams.
Should I implement protocols for the duplicated properties and have User, Team, and Shot conform to them, or would this lead to protocol hell for no apparent benefit other than being so-called "Swifty"?
So what about using inheritance like this,
Common parent takes the properties Shot, User and Team have and Parent for user and team just take the properties only user and team have
Common parent

I am implementing a system based on SignalR that will be pushing client events, for message serialization I would want to use MessagePack. When trying to implement the messaging I have run into a problem where SignalR fails to deserialize the messages on the client.
The messages are polymorphic and described with Union attributes, the standard MessagePack Serializer have no problem serializing and deserializing the messages BUT in case of Signal R it fails with error.
The error reported is System.InvalidOperationException: Invalid Union data was detected.
On the client serialization only works when using the actual class, if I try to use the interface or base class then the error appears.
Classes
[DataContract()]
[MessagePackObject()]
[Union(0,typeof(EntityChangeEventMessage))]
public abstract class EntityEventMessage : IEntityEventMessage
{
}
[DataContract()]
[MessagePackObject()]
public class EntityChangeEventMessage : EntityEventMessage
{
#region PROPERTIES
/// <summary>
/// Gets entity id.
/// </summary>
[DataMember(Order = 1)]
[Key(1)]
public int EntityId
{
get; set;
}
/// <summary>
/// Gets event type.
/// </summary>
/// <remarks>
/// This value identifies database operation such as create,delete,update etc.
/// </remarks>
[DataMember(Order = 2)]
[Key(2)]
public int EventType
{
get; set;
}
/// <summary>
/// Gets entity type name.
/// </summary>
[DataMember(Order = 3)]
[Key(3)]
public string EntityType
{
get; set;
}
#endregion
}
[Union(0,typeof(EntityChangeEventMessage))]
public interface IEntityEventMessage
{
}
So this works
connection.On("EntityEvent", (EntityChangeEventMessage d)
This dont work
connection.On("EntityEvent", (IEntityEventMessaged)
So in general it looks like the problem should be in the Microsoft.AspNetCore.SignalR.Protocols.MessagePack library ?
Anyone have implemented such functionality with success ?
Currently SignalR does not support polymorphism with MessagePack, more info here.
Can anyone tell Where can I get a JSON for Microsoft Sigin card for Teams bot and how to view it in a visualizer and can it be used to mask the password.

[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "buttons")]
public IList<CardAction> Buttons { get; set; }
}
}
It can be found here. That being said, AFAIK, there is no visualizer for it, it's not in JSON, and there's nothing there to mask.
You can create a Sign In card in c#
SigninCard signincard = new SigninCard()
{
Text = "Click here to sign in",
Buttons = new List<CardAction>() {
new CardAction()
{
Title = "Authentication Required",
Type = ActionTypes.OpenUrl,
Value = $"{authenticationUrl}?{encodedCookie}"
}
}
};
Please give a try.
I'll use the mystore sharp lite architecture example. You can download the solution here:
https://github.com/codai/Sharp-Lite
So there are two entities in question. Products. And ProductCategories.
Products looks like this:
public class Product : Entity
{
public Product() {
Categories = new List<ProductCategory>();
}
[DomainSignature]
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Name must be provided")]
[StringLength(255, ErrorMessage = "Name must be 255 characters or fewer")]
public virtual string Name { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// Money is a component, not a separate entity; i.e., the Products table will have column
/// for the amount
/// </summary>
[DataType("Money")]
public virtual Money Price { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// many-to-many between Product and ProductCategory
/// </summary>
[Display(Name="Product Categories")]
public virtual IList<ProductCategory> Categories { get; protected set; }
}
Notice it has the ProductCategories List in it. So it does have a list of ProductCategories that applies to it.
And here is ProductCategory:
public class ProductCategory : Entity
{
public ProductCategory() {
Children = new List<ProductCategory>();
Products = new List<Product>();
}
[DomainSignature]
[Required(ErrorMessage="Name must be provided")]
[StringLength(255, ErrorMessage="Name must be 255 characters or fewer")]
public virtual string Name { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// many-to-one from child ProductCategory to parent ProductCategory
/// </summary>
[Display(Name="Parent Category")]
public virtual ProductCategory Parent { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// many-to-many between ProductCategory and Product
/// </summary>
public virtual IList<Product> Products { get; protected set; }
/// <summary>
/// one-to-many from parent ProductCategory to children ProductCategory
/// </summary>
public virtual IList<ProductCategory> Children { get; protected set; }
}
I understand queries enough that I have made simple ones with where statements. For example this is the query I used in another program to search for the first name of a customer:
public static IQueryable<Customer> GetByFirstName(this IQueryable<Customer> customers, string name)
{
name = name.ToUpper();
return
customers.Where(c => c.BillingAddress.FirstName.ToUpper().Contains(name));
}
But I don't quite understand joins yet. Can someone show me the light?
First of all, if you don't understand how to make a Join, you should probably consult some docs on it, but keep in mind, that this has very little (if nothing) to do with Sharp Lite.
The basic idea behind Sharp Lite's repsitories is to use the power of IQueryable in order to depend less on the underlying data access (NH or EF which are the most populars), so you should basically learn how joins work on NH (if you are using NH) and start working using that. Also, try to put up a better example with a more complex structure so you can really do some joins.
If you need a jumpstart on SharpLite, make sure to read the post on why Sharp lite exists and the other explaining how it's built. Also, I made one myself to get people started with the demo project.
Hope I can help!
It appears that the RemoteAttribute validator introduced in ASP.NET MVC 3 does not validate on the server-side, only via JavaScript. If you turn off JS in your browser, you will find that on model binding, the validation controller action (that you specified when decorating a model property with the RemoteAttribute) will not be hit. In fact, if you inspect the source code for the RemoteAttribute, you will find the IsValid methods just returns true in all cases.
This seems to be quite an omission - I think most people would assume that the RemoteAttribute would work like all the other built-in validators and validate on both client-side and server-side. Instead, you must manually call your remote validation logic in your controller action.
Are people aware of this and has anyone tried to address it?
I have subclassed RemoteAttribute and overridden the IsValid method where I have access to RouteData, RouteName and Routes as well as a GetUrl method that returns the action URL. I was thinking about using reflection to call the action and get the result so I can see if it is valid or not, but are there any built-in methods that I can use without resorting to reflection?
Maybe its not the best code. If you have some recommendations please let me know.

This is the intended behavior of remote validation. There is no way to know what the implementation of IsValid would be so it simply returns true. If you want server side validation for the RemoteAttribute you should override IsValid just like you have done.
Remote validator often with an additional field. Here's the implementation for this case.
/// <summary>

protected override ValidationResult IsValid( object value, ValidationContext validationContext )
{
// Find the controller passed in constructor
var controller = GetControllerList().FirstOrDefault( x => x.Name == string.Format( "{0}Controller", this.RouteData["controller"] ) );
if ( controller == null )
{
// Default behavior of IsValid when no controller is found.
return ValidationResult.Success;
}
// Find the Method passed in constructor
var mi = controller.GetMethod( this.RouteData["action"].ToString() );
if ( mi == null )
{
// Default behavior of IsValid when action not found
return ValidationResult.Success;
}
// Create instance of the controller to be able to call non static validation method
var instance = Activator.CreateInstance( controller );
// invoke the method on the controller with value and "AdditionalFields"
JsonResult result;
if ( !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace( AdditionalFields ) )
{
var additionalField = validationContext.ObjectType.GetProperty( AdditionalFields )
.GetValue( validationContext.ObjectInstance );
result = (JsonResult) mi.Invoke( instance, new [] { value, additionalField } );
}
else
result = (JsonResult)mi.Invoke( instance, new [] { value } );
// Return success or the error message string from CustomRemoteAttribute
string errorMessaqe = result.Data as string;
if (errorMessaqe == null)
{
bool isValid;
try
{
isValid = (bool) result.Data;
}
catch (Exception)
{
isValid = false;
}
return isValid ? ValidationResult.Success : new ValidationResult( base.ErrorMessageString );

}
As has been answered before, this is by design.
I have just stumbled upon a nice article on CodeProject - http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/361113/Extending-the-MVC-RemoteAttribute-to-validate-ser
The problem is that Remove Attribute requires Javascript validation, it does not work out of the box on the server-side... in other words, if you enable javascript validation, it will work and show the error(s), if you disable javascript and go to server validation, it will simply not show any errors on the modelstate, this is not a bug, its a feature hahaha... well, that's the way it was built (on ms)...
https://docs.devexpress.com/AspNet/17294/aspnet-mvc-extensions/data-editors-extensions/common-concepts/validation/remote-validation#requirements
If you need a remote validation attribute that works client and server side, you must create your own class inheriting RemoteAttribute, then you must deploy your own validation, check the following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qopOqppDwc4&t=110s
The video is almost correct, I did post a comment for controllers that use services via injection like dbcontext, etc... I did it and it works...
I'm curious as to whether the following will negatively impact performance in a significant way...
I have a web form with an input box and grid (could be any form of application really) and allows the user to search Active Directory for users...I don't want user accounts that have the $ as part of there sAMAccountName and so am wondering whether I should have them returned and then filter them out in a loop in the application or whether they should be excluded in the ActiveDirectory filter like the following:
(&(objectCateogry=person)(objectClass=user)(!(sAMAccountName=*$*))(cn=<Insert User Query>))
I guess it's the *$* that i'm concerned will impact performance...any insight would be greatly appreciated!
I would include (!(sAMAccountName=*$*)) in the query for the following reasons:
It is indexed in Active Directory so searches are quick.
In most environments domain controllers aren't hit as hard as web servers and have CPU and RAM to spare.
I'm just guessing but I would think that the extra entries that the domain controllers will have to process and send to the web server would actually make everything take a little longer. You could try it both ways in your environment and measure the difference.
Also, you could take a look at the classes in System.DirectoryServices.Protocols if you're concerned with performance.
The filter about AD as follwing:

You can refer my OSS project which base on ActiveRecord pattern as following(Because it is open source you can find out how to operate the AD with DirectoryEntry, DirectoryEntry is not only support the LDAP protocol but also IIS, WIN and so on, so I develop this lib):
class ComplexFilterUnitTest : BaseUnitTest
{
[TestCase]
public void TestComplexFilter()
{
IFilter filter =
new And(
new IsUser(),
new Is(OrganizationalUnitAttributeNames.OU, "pangxiaoliangOU"),
new Or(
new StartWith(AttributeNames.CN, "pang"),
new And(
new EndWith(AttributeNames.CN, "liu"),
new Is(PersonAttributeNames.Mail, "mv#live.cn")
)
)
);
Assert.AreEqual("(&(objectClass=user)(ou=pangxiaoliangOU)(|(cn=pang*)(&(cn=*liu)(mail=mv#live.cn))))", filter.BuildFilter());
foreach (var userObject in UserObject.FindAll(this.ADOperator, filter))
{
using (userObject)
{
Console.WriteLine(userObject.DisplayName);
}
}
}
}
https://landpyactivedirectory.codeplex.com/documentation
And you will find it easy to operate the AD with it, if you have no interest with it please ignore my answer.
Any question about AD please contact me :)
