Scott Guthrie – 8th Annual Day of .NET

It’s here again – Mr. Scott Guthrie is coming back to Arizona. And this year we’re bringing special A-LIST guest, Mark Russinovich. Scott is a Vice President at Microsoft in charge of the Web Stack (ASP.net + Silverlight + a bunch of other stuff) Scott has made a special visit to the Arizona.net User Group since 2003 and is committed to the Arizona.net community as long as we can continue to support the event (in attendance).

ScottGu runs a bunch of business product lines inside Microsoft, most revolving around the Web Stack. This included ASP.net Web Forms, MVC, NuGet, Silverlight, and I’m sure a bunch of other things that aren’t even public (hint hint).

So What Will ScottGu be demo’ing? Answer: I don’t know. Scott says it will be magical like always, but at this moment, I’m not sure what he’s going to be talking about.

But maybe that’s even a better schedule to have. In years past, I have literally had to rush Mr. Scott Guthrie off the stage, which seems silly. Silly in that we wait all year for him to show up, and then don’t give him the time he wants. So this year we’re having less sponsored stage time, and more Scott Guthrie Time. (insert hoops and hollars here).

And Special A-LIST Guest

Mark Russinovich

If you don’t know Mark’s history, you can read the lengthy Wikipedia article. Most of you will remember Mark for the great work he’s done around Windows tooling and debugging, such as FileMon, ProcMon, and a ton of other SysInternals Tools.

In 2006 Mark sold SysInternals to Microsoft and is now working in the Azure team. As you know (or should know) Azure is the Cloud Computing platform Microsoft is behind, and is **VERY** friendly for .NET developers with support built into Visual Studio for deployments.

I Completely Agree! and decided to follow his post’s desired take away to spread the word on NuGet so I am.

If you are a Microsoft .Net developer, and even though NuGet was packaged with MVC it is not just for MVC, and the libraries in the NuGet directory are for all kinds of .Net development.

So go to http://www.codethinked.com/you-really-should-be-using-nuget and read about it and start using it to ease your pains when using third party libraries.

What does all this buildup explanation lead to?

Well as I thinking one day there had to be a better way I saw a tweet from @shanselman about NuGet Package of the Week, and that made the connection, and I thought :

The third party control manufacturers should create a directory on the user’s computer (or network location) and place NuGet packages in there for the various controls that are in the library.

I tweeted about it

should/do 3rd party control makers (@Telerik, @Syncfusion, etc) populate a local directory with nuGet packages of thier controls on install?

So why am I writing this post? I wanted to write it to try to give the idea a little more presence and hopefully it get discovered by the control makers and they think about implementing the idea.

What you can do? If you agree with this idea please talk about it in a blog post and/or tweet the link and lets try to get the idea growing.

Below is the slide deck for the presentation, theres not a lot in it, but including it just in case someone wants it for the links in it.

2011 Feb 02 Silverlight pivotviewer

And here is a link to the zip file of the sample code used in the presentation.

PivotCollectionSample01

and due to size limitations with uploaded files for the blog, un zip the following images into a directory names “images” in the project directory.

I will be giving a talk on using the Silverlight PivotViewer Control (http://www.silverlight.net/learn/pivotviewer/) as well as using PART of the Pivot Collection Tools (http://pivotcollectiontools.codeplex.com/) to build a collection for viewing in the PivotViewer Control. As part of the demos I do I will also be touching on using Fabricator project (http://fabricator.codeplex.com/) to generate demo data (but I already did a blog post on that aspect)

The Silverlight Group meets at Interface Technical Training, NW corner of Central and Thomas at 6PM on the First Wednesday of each month.

Would say “hope to see you there” but if too many people are there, I’ll only be more nervous!  Just Kidding, I hope you can make it out for the meeting, and if I am too boring or too bad  a presenter there is also the Phoenix Connected Systems User Group meeting at ITT at the same time in a different room.

As you can see above, in the dialog box there is a search box that allows you to find packages that you need and/or want. As I was looking through some of the packages I took a shot and did a search for generate looking for something for generating sample data as the item I am demoing is used to view large collections of data. I didn’t want to hand code a large collection of data or have just simple data like Name01, Name02, Name03…. as having good varied data would show the control off better. I was surprised when I saw Fabricator in the search results.

I installed it and then went looking for some information on using it. I found the CodePlex project for it, and started looking around the documentation there and started playing. Since I used the NuGet system to install the package, the reference to the package’s DLL was added for me and all I had to do (and only to save some typing) was to  add a Using directive to the files where I wanted to reference Fabricator.

using Fabrication;

After that I created the simple class that will be the foundation for the collection of data for the demo.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Fabrication;

namespace CollectionSample01
{
    class PlayerInfo
    {
        public int playerID { get; set; }
        public string fullName {get; set;}
        public string teamName { get; set; }
        public int gamesPlayed { get; set; }
        public int minPlayed { get; set; }
        public int redCards { get; set; }
        public int yellowCards { get; set; }
        public string Country { get; set; }
        public string Image { get; set; }
    }
}

Once that was written I started playing with the Fabricator library to generate some sample data. I then added a method to the class to setup the properties on the class where I don’t want the default rules and conventions to apply. I did name the player fullName property as such so that the default convention of Fabricator applies and a first and last name are randomly generated for that property. Below is the setup method I wrote.

public static void SetUpForTest()
{
    Fabricator.Setup<PlayerInfo>()
        .For(x => x.gamesPlayed).UseRange(3, 13)
        .For(x => x.minPlayed).UseRange(270, 1300)
        .For(x => x.yellowCards).UseRange(0,12)
        .For(r => r.redCards).UseRange(0,12)
        .For(c => c.Country).PickFrom(
            "USA",
            "Canada",
            "Mexico",
            "Scotland",
            "England",
            "Wales"
            )
        .For(p => p.Image).PickFrom(FabHelper.Images)
        .For(x => x.teamName).Use(new FabHelper.TeamNameValueProvider());
}

In the code above, there’s a few examples of different ways you can setup Fabricator to generate data. The UseRange option selects a random number between the minimum and maximum values passed in. For the County property I used the PickFrom option and passed in a bunch of strings that will be used as options. The next use of the PickFrom option I passed in a List<string> exposed as a property of a separate helper class (below). And then finally I used the Use option and passed in a ValueProvider I created in the helper class. Now, I don’t know if the ValueProvider I wrote was able to be done with the library as it is written, I am guessing it is, but I didn’t look too much and wrote it as a practice in customizing the data generation using one of the extension points the library provides.

internal class FabHelper
{
    public static List<string> Images = new List<string>()
    {
        "Autumn Leaves.jpg",
        "Creek.jpg",
        "Desert Landscape.jpg",
        "Dock.jpg",
        "Forest Flowers.jpg",
        "Forest.jpg",
        "Frangipani Flowers.jpg",
        "Garden.jpg",
        "Green Sea Turtle.jpg",
        "Humpback Whale.jpg",
        "Oryx Antelope.jpg",
        "Toco Toucan.jpg",
        "Tree.jpg",
        "Waterfall.jpg",
        "Winter Leaves.jpg"
    };

    public class TeamNameValueProvider : Fabrication.ValueProviders.ValueProviderBase<string>
    {
        private static readonly Random random = new Random();

        public static int GetInteger(int min, int max)
        {
            return random.Next(min, max + 1);
        }

        protected override string GetValue(object item)
        {
            return string.Format("Team {0}", GetInteger(0, 12).ToString());
        }
    }

}

And then I called that before making the Generate call to generate the sample data as below. After that I had a nice set of data to play with that I can use for the demo. But in the code below I just wrote some code to run through the data I got back and take a look at it. And below the code is sample output from running the test method as it is now.

static public void Sample1()
{
    PlayerInfo.SetUpForTest();

    IEnumerable<PlayerInfo> testData = Fabricator.Generate<PlayerInfo>(250);

    var groupedData = testData.GroupBy(x => x.teamName).OrderBy(o => o.Key);

    foreach (var team in groupedData)
    {
        Trace.WriteLine(team.Key + " has " + team.Count().ToString() + " players.");
        Trace.Indent();

        foreach (var player in team)
        {
            Trace.WriteLine(player.ToString());
        }
        Trace.Unindent();
    }
}

But then came finding the Silverlight PivotViewer and writing some proof of concept (PoC) stuff for it. I had several large table from a data warehouse we wanted to expose the data in, using the PivotViewer. I did a first go of the PoC app using just a couple columns from one of the tables. But then we wanted to do with the full columns (way overkill, but we wanted to see all the data so we could better determine which ones we’d want in various PivotViewer Collections). I had designed the app to use classes that wrapped up our Data Layer objects and exposed the fields as new properties that were flagged as Facets using attributes, so the Pivot Collection Tools could be used using the PivotCollection method that the tools offer.

I thought that this could be using T4 but as I hadn’t used it yet, wasn’t sure where to start. So I did a search online and found a bunch of stuff written by Oleg Sych about T4. And they all mentioned having two items in addition to standard Visual Studio stuff to make it even easier to work with T4. Those two items are : T4 toolbox and T4 Editor both of which you can get for free, although there is a Pro version of the Editor available.

Anyways I started my code generation foray using Oleg’s article titled T4 Tutorial: Creating your first code generator and that got me most of the way to what I needed to do. I did have to do some more learning as the code samples in the article are going against the local server so the code below:

<#
    Dim server as Server = new Server()
    Dim database as Database = new Database(server, "Northwind")
    Dim table as Table = new Table(database, "Products")
    table.Refresh()
#>

had to be modified as I was hitting the network development DB server and we also use SQL logins and not network authentication so I hoped we could just pass the connection sting to the Server constructor but the string option it looked for was just the server name, and if you needed to do SQL auth then you had to pass to the Server constructor a ServerConnection object. I also had to add a namespace import and reference to an assembly as well. So ended up with the following code:

<#@ assembly name="Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo" #>
<#@ import namespace="Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common" #>
<#
    'Declare a ServerConnection object variable to specify SQL authentication, login and password.
    Dim conn As New ServerConnection()
    conn.ConnectionString = "Data Source={DBServerName};Persist Security Info=True;User ID={devlogin};Password={devpwd}"
    Dim server As Server = New Server(conn)
    Dim database As Database = New Database(server, "{dbname}")
    Dim table As Table = New Table(database, "{tablename}")
    table.Refresh()
#>

And then I modified the template to do what I needed which was fairly easy to so since it is designed to use  ASP.NET-like syntax. I save the template and the file is generated for me automatically!

  So what is this site?Ever needed custom formatted sample / test data, like, bad? Well, that’s the idea of the Data Generator. It’s a free, open source script written in JavaScript, PHP and MySQL that lets you quickly generate large volumes of custom data in a variety of formats for use in testing software, populating databases, and scoring with girls.
• http://www.filehelpers.com/
  The FileHelpers are a free and easy to use .NET library to import/export data from fixed length or delimited records in files, strings or streams.
  The idea is pretty simple:You can strong type your flat file (fixed or delimited) simply describing a class that maps to each record and later read/write your file as an strong typed .NET arrayThe Library also has support for import/export data from differents storages like Excel, Access, SqlServer, etc.

And a site found from the links on one of the above:

So I made a dash to the internet and did a search for information on this. The first result I found was a 2007 post from Laurent Bugnion which talks about wrapping the call to InitalizeComponent() in a Try-Catch to get access to the InnerException and StackTrace. This lead me to realize I should look closer at the exception I am getting. Yes I know I should have done that FIRST! So when I clicked on the “View Detail…” link in the above capture I got this:

As you can see in the highlighted part of the screenshot the error was an error introduced when I changed a converter class I had created to format a datetime into a string of a particular format. I changed the name of it to be more descriptive, and also made a similar one that outputs into a different format. I did a Search/Replace on the name of the one I was using and updated them to the new ones I wanted to use. The issue is that in one Xaml I forgot to add the NEW converter to the <Resources> section of the file, which is why it could not be found when it was trying to parse the Xaml at runtime.

I simply changed:

<UserControl.Resources>
  <my:JustDateConverter x:Key=”JustDateConverter”/>

to

<UserControl.Resources>
  <my:JustDateConverter x:Key=”JustDateConverter”/>
  <my:FullDateConverter x:Key=”FullDateConverter”/>

to include the new converter and all is well again.

So what’s the take away(s) on this post, beside the fact I can ramble at times?

• ALWAYS be sure to view the details of any error messages you get
• when you get a XamlParseException thrown, be sure to check if you have all the resources referenced you are trying to use

I was looking for a good set of examples and the below blog post is pretty good so I am linking it here for me to find later.

Object and Collection Initializers – VB – Eric White’s Blog – Site Home – MSDN Blogs

This right now is still being setup but eventually will be used for me to post development/social media/work related blog posts.

It will also be a place to get any code samples I create and post as well as any software I release.
