I have an app that I am testing with NUNit. The project im testing has several helper classes that are created as public static readonly. When I run the NUnit tests, they all fail with the same error
Systems.Code.Test.TransactionTest.CreateDataContext_ConnectionString_ReturnsDataContextObject:
I have a question about C Sharp ASP.NET:Is there a difference (in code speed, resources) between:public static variable declared in public static class MyGlobals in a 'Code File' template;and the variable declared in a normal 'Class File' template;I use this variable in 2 different Class Files and also in _Default Page codebehind cs file.In fact in my case I need about 20 global variables of type List<string>.
View 9 RepliesI moved from VS2008 running on XP 32 bit to VS2010 running on Win7 64 bit and just noticed that I can't debug in NUnit like I used to.
On my old system, I just went to Debug|Attach to Process, chose NUnit.exe, and ran my tests from the NUnit GUI. VS2008 would stop at the breakpoints just as normal.
Now when I try this using NUnit 2.5.5.10112 on the new configuraiton it just skips over my breakpoints.
Im pretty new to NUnit and am beginning the process of setting up my tests. Some of these test involve a database, specifically checking a particular value against a value in a database and if its not greater than the last retrieved value, flag an error. Whats the best way to test in this scenario ? should I write one value to a database then create another value thats out of sequence and run a database query ? This would involve putting a known value into the table, then running the query with another value.
There is no rollback attribute for nunit, so I gues using TransactionScope would work, that way I could return the database to a known state after the test. There tables have foreign keys so that means adding a lot of extra 'dummy' data first to some of the other tables. Is this sort of 'testing' the best way ? I basically need to perform the test based on an existing data value and I guess this must be pretty standard stuff, so whats the best way ?
As I understand it, the tests should be self contained, so any data i insert into the database during the test should be removed afterwards, is this correct ? If so, it means I need to insert test data into 6 additional tables just to test one function, then remove it after the test has completed, is this the normal way to to this ?
I have made public readonly shared properties in my class.
I want to acces a property's value in .aspx page. As i think that is possible through scriptlet like this
<%= ClassName.Propertyname %>
But its not working .Where i am wrong ?
One of my NUnit tests has to read in some values from config files. In my main application this process works perfectly well, however when I run the unit test, the code that reads in the values from the config files doesnt read anything in. Ive tried putting app.config in my unit test project (I even tried web.config) but nothing seems to work. Are there any special steps involved when reading from config files in an nunit test ?
View 1 RepliesCan I put public static int[] MyArrayCounter declared in separate class Main.cs into webpage Default.aspx between code tags <%= %>?
More info of what i do:
I have declaration in Main.cs:
[Code]....
In class Checking.cs i fill MyArrayCounter with 29 values. After code execution ends, i'd like my Default.aspx page to bind to that MyArrayCounter values like:
Label1.Text = MyArrayCounter[0]
Label2.Text = MyArrayCounter[1]
etc.
Let's say I have the following;
public static void TryOut(int intOne, int intTwo, string strone, string strtwo){....}
And after I created dll, I will use it like that;
TryOut(1,3,"bla bla bla", "bla bla bla");
But I want the last variable to be optional. I mean this method could be used like that;
TryOut(1,3,"bla bla bla", "bla bla bla");
And Also like that
TryOut(1,3,"bla bla bla");
I know it is possibel but how I could do that I have no idea !
For reasons I would rather not discuss, I need to create a custom authentication system for my app. I was just reviewing the system and am having some doubts if my solution is thread safe. My goal was to create a solution that would allow my app to authenticate a user one time and that users authentication info would be shared by all master pages, pages, classes, user controls, etc that are used. (But not share the same info between users) Here is my setup: PageHttpModule.cs - this is added to the web.config as a httpModule.
public class PageHttpModule : IHttpModule
{
public void Init(HttpApplication app)
{
app.AuthenticateRequest += new EventHandler(OnAuthenticateRequest);
}
public void OnAuthenticateRequest(Object s, EventArgs e)
{
CurrentUser.Initialize();
}
public void Dispose() { }
}
CurrentUser.cs
public static class CurrentUser
{
public static bool IsAuthenticated { get; private set; }
public static string Email {get; set;}
public static string RealName {get; set;
public static string UserId {get; set;}
public static void Initialize()
{
CurrentUser.AuthenticateUser();
}
Note: this is a scaled down version of my authentication code.
public static void AuthenticateUser()
{
UserAuthentication user = new UserAuthentication();
user.AuthenticateUser();
if (user.IsAuthenticated)
{
CurrentUser.IsAuthenticated = true;
CurrentUser.UserId = user.UserId;
CurrentUser.Email = user.Email;
CurrentUser.RealName = user.RealName;
}
}
}
UserAuthentication.cs
public class UserAuthentication
{
public string Email { get; set; }
public string RealName { get; set; }
public string UserId { get; set; }
public bool IsAuthenticated { get; private set; }
public UserAuthentication()
{
IsAuthenticated = false;
Email = String.Empty;
RealName = String.Empty;
UserId = String.Empty;
}
public void AuthenticateUser()
{
//do some logic here.. if the user is ok then
IsAuthenticated = true
Email = address from db
UserId = userid from db;
Realname = name from db;
}
}
I have tested between 3 different browsers and it seems to work fine, but I am still learning and don't want to make a huge mistake. If my logic is totally wrong, then how should I do it so I dont have to put user lookups on every page directly?
I'm coding a business layer for an ASP.NET application. I've created database methods in my BLL as static. I've created public static Func variables to be compiled and used in several different methods, like this:
namespace BLL
public class User
{
public static Func<Context, variable, result> selectUser;
private static void CompileQuery()
{
if(selectUser == null)
{
selectUser = CompiledQuery.Compile......
}
}
public static UserClass Select(int id)
{
CompileQuery();
//uses selectUser
}
public static SomethingElse DoSomethingElse()
{
CompileQuery();
//also uses selectUser
}
}
It'll be used in ASP.NET layer like this: using BLL;
private void AddUser()
{
UserClass user = User.Select(id);
}
My question is, since static variables are not thread-safe, is this a bad design decision? I'm thinking of either implementing a locking mechanism, which makes me think if it'd slow down the application, or using instantiated class approach which makes me wonder if query compiling would be beneficial.
in asp.net can i make public objects on my page, for example
public Customer cust1 = new customer();
and use this object on my entire code?
what are the drawbacks of creating public objects??
a single object will be created for all users??? or each user will have a different object?
I have designed an application and am wondering if this is the best architecture to use and whether there is any danger.
In namespace Membership I have a public class, MembershipManager, which inherits from webservice
public class MembershipManager() : System.Web.Services.Webservice
The single public web method of this class often needs to read and write to a database.
[WebMethod()] public string DoMembershipWork(...various parameters...)
The database work is done by implementing, in the same namespace,an internal class
internal class MembershipDataAccess
which has a series of internal static methods for data access e.g.
internal static bool UpdateMembership(MembershipManager m)
The MembershipManager class accesses the data access class by calling the appropriate method with itself as a parameter e.g.
MembershipDataAccess.UpdateMembership(this);
Is this a good idea. This application will be processing many transactions simultaneously. Is there a danger of not being thread safe. Note also that sometimes the MembershipDataAccess class will return datasets to the MembershipManager class.
I have defined a public static HashTable. It stores data for a few seconds of runtime, and then data disappears, and then the HashTable becomes null.What is the issue and how do I solve it?
View 1 RepliesI have searched deference between Static and Singleton Patten on google but did not get it clearly.
View 12 RepliesIf for example you have a function Public shared function GetStockByID(StockID as Guid) as Stock Is that function common to all current users of your application? Or is the shared function only specific to the current user and shared in the context of ONLY that current user? So more specifically my question is this, besides database concurrency issues such as table locking do I need to concern myself with threading issues in shared functions in an ASP.Net application?In my head; let's say my application namespace is MyTestApplicationNamespace. Everytime a new user connects to my site a new instance of the MyTestApplicationNamespace is created and therefore all shared functions are common to that instance and user but NOT common across multiple users. Is this correct?

I have an ASP.NET HttpModule that is distributed as a DLL. I badly need a plugin architecture so I can isolate some heavyweight, rarely used features into external .dlls, and speed up/slim up the core functionality.I've experimented with (1) reflection and (2) static constructors.It seems GoDaddy and a few other web hosts prohibit use of Reflection, making #1 useless..NET 4.0 now calls static constructors lazily, eliminating #2.
How can I have a generic plugin registration system that doesn't require C# or VB code to register the plugins? Even a web.config plugin registration list would be fine, but I don't know how to do that without using reflection.
Update: I need this to work in .NET 2.0 as well as higher versions
I am developing a web application, which has Data Access Layer and this layer has only one class, in which all methods are static methods like static Insert, static Update, static Search. It has no properties. I am using these methods in my Bussiness Logic class for my users who are visiting my website.Now my question is : 1. Is it right to use static methods in this scenario ?2. What will happen if 10 users call Insert method at the same time ?
View 3 RepliesSo I started working on my first asp.net application that involves logging in and databases, and soon after i started messing around with a static class. I "discovered" that if you make a variable static, all sessions share that variable (I for some reason was originally assuming that each session had its own copy of that "static" class). Anyway, after discovering this I thought to myself "how could this possibly be useful to me" and thought that itmight be a good idea to make a single static database connection for all of the sessions, rather than storing that as a session variable for each session. Does anybody know what would be the pros and cons of this approach?

View 4 RepliesI can access a module from code behind but not from the aspx page in inline VB code <% ... %>.
I know its got to be something simple but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere.
firstly a static class only ever exists once and is not an instance. Any static members (ie static int NoOfPeople;) is stored in one place and is shared between all sessions (like the old global variables).
Now static methods is where i'm not 100% sure. If I have a static method that doesn't use any other static members could this cause inconstant results, example (this is a fairly pointless method but just a quick example of the top of my head)
[Code]....
So in this example if two sessions (or threads) were to call this at the same time - would they both get back the expected results, because the method only uses private data (a, b and totalToReturn).Im sure this sounds a little simple but I will be using static methods to build user objects and various other objects that there will have to be a 100% garentee that the objects will not get mixed up between sessions and the wrong things return to the user.

I have a private static field in my Controller class in an MVC web application.
I have a static method in that controller that assigns some value to that static field, I want to apply lock on that static field until some other instance method in the controller uses the value stored in the static field and then releases it.
DETAILS:
I have a controller named BaseController having a static ClientId field as follows and two methods as follows:-
public static string ClientId = "";
static void OnClientConnected(string clientId, ref Dictionary<string, object> list)
{
list.Add("a", "b");
// I want the ClientId to be locked here, so that it can not be accessed by other requests coming to the server and wait for ClientId to be released:-
BaseController.clientId = clientId;
}
public ActionResult Handler()
{
if (something)
{
// use the static ClientId here
}
// Release the ClientId here, so it can now be used by other web requests coming to the server.
return View();
}
