MVC 3 - Error handling

Cat de mult va place ecranul galben intr-o aplicatie web? Cred ca e la fel de faimos ca si ecranul albastru din Windows. Mai este numit si YSOD – Yellow Screen Of Death. Acest ecran nu ar trebuii sa apara niciodata in productie. Mai jos o sa vorbim despre doua modalitati cum putem sa evitam acest ecran.

MVC 3 ne aduce o functionalitate build-in pentru handling la erori. Atributul HandleErrorAttribute se ocupa de acest lucru pentru noi si face o treaba foarte bine atata timp cat este folosit corespunzator. Putem sa il folosim in doua metode.

O metoda este sa decoram controlerele sau actiniile cu acest atribut. In acest mod, orice eroare care apare in controlerul/actiunea noastra o sa fie prinsa de catre MVC 3. O alta variant este sa adaugam in lista de GlobalFilter si atributul nostru – acest lucru se face in Global.asax.cs - Application_Start. In acest fel nu are importanta de unde vine eroare, o sa fie facut handle la eroare de catre MVC 3.

[HandleError]
public class HelpController : Controller
{
[HandleError]
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
}
sau
protected void Application_Start()

{
RouteTable.Routes.Add(new HandleErrorAttribute());
}
Dupa ce am facut acest pas trebuie sa active custom errors. Acest lucru se face din fisierul de configurare, in sectiunea system.web:

Configurarea facuta cu atributul de mai sus functioneaza doar pentru erorile de tipul 500, pentru erorile de tip 404, este nevoie sa specificam exact pagina la care facem redirectarea.

In loc sa folosim o pagina HTML, putem sa facem o redirectare spre o actiune a unui controller. View-ul default care se foloseste in cazul in care apare o eroare se gaseste in “/views/shared/Error.cshtml”. By default, acesta afiseaza numele la exceptie, mesajul si locatia de unde a fost aruncata (control + actiune). In cazul in care vreti sa schimbari redirectarea care exista by default, se pate face in felul urmator:

filters.Add(new HandleErrorAttribute
{
ExceptionType = typeof(MyCustomException),
View = "MyCustomError", // Un view care se afla in directorul de shared

// cu numele MyCumstomError.cshtml
Order = 2
});
Trebuie avut grija cum se face handling la errorile de tip 404. O sa scriu putin mai tarziu o explicatie mai detaliata despre 404.

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

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(

Azure AD and AWS Cognito side-by-side

In the last few weeks, I was involved in multiple opportunities on Microsoft Azure and Amazon, where we had to analyse AWS Cognito, Azure AD and other solutions that are available on the market. I decided to consolidate in one post all features and differences that I identified for both of them that we should need to take into account. Take into account that Azure AD is an identity and access management services well integrated with Microsoft stack. In comparison, AWS Cognito is just a user sign-up, sign-in and access control and nothing more. The focus is not on the main features, is more on small things that can make a difference when you want to decide where we want to store and manage our users.  This information might be useful in the future when we need to decide where we want to keep and manage our users.  Feature Azure AD (B2C, B2C) AWS Cognito Access token lifetime Default 1h – the value is configurable 1h – cannot be modified

What to do when you hit the throughput limits of Azure Storage (Blobs)

In this post we will talk about how we can detect when we hit a throughput limit of Azure Storage and what we can do in that moment. Context If we take a look on Scalability Targets of Azure Storage ( https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/storage-scalability-targets/ ) we will observe that the limits are prety high. But, based on our business logic we can end up at this limits. If you create a system that is hitted by a high number of device, you can hit easily the total number of requests rate that can be done on a Storage Account. This limits on Azure is 20.000 IOPS (entities or messages per second) where (and this is very important) the size of the request is 1KB. Normally, if you make a load tests where 20.000 clients will hit different blobs storages from the same Azure Storage Account, this limits can be reached. How we can detect this problem? From client, we can detect that this limits was reached based on the HTTP error code that is returned by HTTP
