EF 4.1 – 4.2 “Code First” Perfomance Tip
Posted on October 28, 2011EF always track entity and changes, but sometime if you need add/remove bulk records you may want temporary disable this tracking.
Example
db.Configuration.AutoDetectChangesEnabled = false;
foreach (var item in list)
{
db.Table.Add(item);
}
db.SaveChanges;
db.Configuration.AutoDetectChangesEnabled = true;
Visual Studio 2010 SP1 how to add CSS 3 validation
Posted on September 16, 2011I assume that you are using a x64 Windows:
[optional]Copy the file CSS21.xml to CSS30.xml in the following directory:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\Packages\1033\schemas\CSS\
Open the Registry Editor and navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\Packages\{A764E895-518D-11d2-9A89-00C04F79EFC3}\Schemas
Add a new key named Schema 5.
Under the key Schema 5
add a new string value named File and set the value to css30.xml
Under the key Schema 5 add a new string value named Friendly Name and set the value to CSS 3.0
Start Visual Studio 2010 and open a CSS file and you will see a new entry in the list dropdown list named “CSS 3.0“
MVC3 + EF CodeFirst + Facebook Authentication (Oauth) Part 1
Posted on September 13, 2011MVC3 + EF CodeFirst +
Facebook Authentication (Oauth) Part 1
Lets mix
all together in one project
First step
create new MVC3 project
Create new MVC3 project
Next step -
selecting project type , creating test project (if you needed)
Download packages
I prefer
new Razor View Engine with HTML5 semantic markup.
For next
step I will use Nuget to install some
package to project
List of
package
1) http://nuget.org/List/Packages/EntityFramework/4.1.10715.0
2) http://nuget.org/List/Packages/jQuery/1.6.3
3) http://nuget.org/List/Packages/Facebook/5.2.1.0
4) http://nuget.org/List/Packages/FacebookWeb/5.2.1.0
5) http://nuget.org/List/Packages/FacebookWebMvc/5.2.1.0
Installing codefirstmembership
Now we need to install codefirstmembership
Go to http://codefirstmembership.codeplex.com/releases/61794/download/212575
and download latest version.
Copy
this source code (Code and Data directories) to your MVC3 application
Delete
default connection string from Web.Config
Replace
Web.Config values for default Membership, Profile and Role with this:
<membership defaultProvider=”CodeFirstMembershipProvider”>
<providers>
<clear />
<add name=”CodeFirstMembershipProvider” type=”CodeFirstMembershipDemo.CodeFirstMembershipProvider” connectionStringName=”CodeFirstContext” applicationName=”/” />
</providers>
</membership>
<profile enabled=”false”>
<providers>
<clear />
</providers>
</profile>
<roleManager enabled=”true” defaultProvider=”CodeFirstRoleProvider”>
<providers>
<clear />
<add name=”CodeFirstRoleProvider” type=”CodeFirstMembershipDemo.CodeFirstRoleProvider” connectionStringName=”CodeFirstContext” applicationName=”/” />
<add applicationName=”/” name=”AspNetWindowsTokenRoleProvider” type=”System.Web.Security.WindowsTokenRoleProvider” />
</providers>
</roleManager>
Add this to your Global.asax page in the Application_Start
protected
void Application_Start()
{
Database.DefaultConnectionFactory
= new SqlCeConnectionFactory(“System.Data.SqlServerCe.4.0″);
Database.SetInitializer(new CodeFirstContextInit());
//’Used to
preinitialize database, remove on production
var
Context = new CodeFirstContext();
Context.Users.FirstOrDefault();
}
Open AccountController
and replace LogOn and LogOff methods with this:
[HttpPost()]
public ActionResult LogOn(LogOnModel model, string returnUrl)
{
if
(ModelState.IsValid)
{
if
(CodeFirstSecurity.Login(model.UserName, model.Password, model.RememberMe))
{
if
(!string.IsNullOrEmpty(returnUrl) &&
Url.IsLocalUrl(returnUrl))
{
return Redirect(returnUrl);
}
else
{
return RedirectToAction(“Index”,
“Home”);
}
}
else
{
ModelState.AddModelError(“”, “The
user name or password provided is incorrect.”);
}
}
// If we
got this far, something failed, redisplay form
return
View(model);
}
public ActionResult LogOff()
{
CodeFirstSecurity.Logout();
return
RedirectToAction(“Index”, “Home”);
}
Try logging in with: Username: “Demo“
Password: “Demo” or with Email: “demo@demo.com“
(password is case-sensitive)
Some additional fix
1)
Replace
CodeFirstMembershipDemoSharp with solution name
2)
Remove
using System.Data.Entity.Database; from CodeFirstContextInit.cs
3)
Add using
System.Data.Entity;
Now we move to Facebook
1.
Create
your application on Facebook. You can do so here: http://www.facebook.com/developers/createapp.php
2.
We
have to set a few settings on our newly created Facebook Application. First,
lets set the Site Url in the Web Site tab. Set the site url to http://localhost:3434/.
After you have entered the information click save changes.
3.
After
you save the changes you will be take to the app info page. Leave this open as
we will need some of the settings later.
4.
We
also need to set our application so that it runs on the same port every time.
So lets set our app to run on port 3434 (same as we already configured in the
Facebook Application settings). I am using IIS Express with Visual Studio 2010
SP1. I would highly recommend using IIS Express yourself rather than Visual
Studio Development server because there are some issues and difficulties. See
below how to set the port in IIS Express.
5.
We
now need to edit a few of our web config settings. So open your web.config file
and find the section called facebookSettings. It will most likely be at the
very bottom of you config file.
<facebookSettings appId=”{app id}” appSecret=”{app secret}” />
6.
From
the Facebook Application info page you had open on step 3 find your App ID and
App Secret. Set these settings in your web.config file as shown.
<facebookSettings appId=”134035780002122″ appSecret=”a7adde41a7fd6228b656db70e0ba9d7c” />
To be continue (Extending Code first user, Autorisation Action etc)

Windows Phone SDK 7.1 Public Beta 2 release
Posted on June 30, 2011
29.06.2011 was released wp7.1 sdk Beta2.
The Windows Phone SDK 7.1 Beta 2 makes significant strides forward, and enables you to build many classes of applications that were not previously possible.
The following lists what’s new in the Windows Phone SDK:
Visual Basic Support
Visual Basic is now available for both Silverlight and XNA Framework applications. Visual Basic is fully integrated into the Windows Phone SDK 7.1 Beta 2; you do not need to install it separately.
Conceptual documentation: Most code examples in the documentation now appear in both C# and Visual Basic
Advertising
The Microsoft Advertising SDK for Windows Phone enables you to monetize your apps and games by including ads from Microsoft Advertising. The Advertising SDK is now fully integrated into the Windows Phone SDK 7.1 Beta 2; you do not need to install it separately.
Conceptual documentation: Advertising in Windows Phone Applications
Multi-targeting and App Compatibility
You can use the Windows Phone SDK 7.1 Beta 2 to create Silverlight® and XNA Framework projects that target either Windows Phone OS 7.1 or Windows Phone OS 7.0. When you create a new project, you are prompted to select the version that you want to target. You can also upgrade existing Windows Phone OS 7.0 projects to take advantage of the new Windows Phone OS 7.1 features.
All your apps and games that work on Windows Phone OS 7.0 phones will continue to work seamlessly on Windows Phone OS 7.1 phones.
Device Status
The Windows Phone SDK 7.1 Beta 2 now gives you expanded programmatic access to a user’s Windows Phone device through the DeviceStatus class. You can now determine whether the device is using the battery or external power, whether a keyboard is available or deployed, the device manufacturer, and more.
Conceptual documentation: Device Status for Windows Phone
Managed API documentation: Microsoft.Phone.Info
Isolated Storage Explorer
The Windows Phone SDK 7.1 Beta 2 now includes a command line tool that enables you to list, copy, and replace files and directories in the isolated storage.
Isolated storage enables managed applications to create and maintain local storage. Isolated storage in Windows Phone is similar to isolated storage in Silverlight. For a Windows Phone application, all I/O operations are restricted to isolated storage and do not have direct access to the underlying operating system file system or to the isolated storage of other applications. This improves security and reduces chances of unauthorized access and data corruption.
Launchers and Choosers
The Windows Phone SDK 7.1 Beta 2 introduces several new Launchers and Choosers. From your applications, you can now choose an address, invite players to a game session, or save a ringtone. You can also show a location on a map at a preset zoom level, or show directions between two points on a Bing map.
The following are the new Launchers and Choosers:
- Address Chooser Task
- Bing Maps Task
- Bing Maps Directions Task
- Game Invite Task
- Save Contact Task
- Save Ringtone Task
- Share Link Task
- Share Status Task
Contacts and Calendar
The Windows Phone SDK 7.1 Beta 2 now gives you read-only access to the user’s contacts and calendar data. You can now differentiate your applications by querying and interacting with the user’s data in ways such as letting the user choose from a list of their contacts and sending them emails, searching for contacts’ birthdays, and others.
Encrypted Credential Store
The Windows Phone SDK 7.1 Beta 2 now provides access to a set of cryptography APIs. For applications that require login credentials, these APIs enable you to store the credentials in an encrypted way. Now your users do not have to log in anew each time they use your application.
Camera
The Windows Phone SDK 7.1 Beta 2 now gives you programmatic access to the camera on Windows Phone devices, including real-time access to raw frames. This enables you to create scanning and augmented reality applications. You can also access the flash and adjust the focus in your applications.
OData Client
The Open Data Protocol (OData) is an open web protocol for querying and updating data. The protocol allows for a consumer to query a datasource over the HTTP protocol and get the result back in formats like Atom, JSON or plain XML, including pagination, ordering or filtering of the data.
The Windows Phone SDK 7.1 Beta 2 now include the Add Service Reference dialog that enables you to generate a client proxy class. You can also use LINQ queries to access OData resources, and perform client authentication to secure OData services with a login ID and password. There is also improved performance when saving client state.
You can download SDK 7.1 Beta 2 from here
How to generate C# Class from XSD schema
Posted on June 30, 2011
Lets take our XSD schema file (from previous post)
We need a little console tool called: “XML Schema Definition Tool” (Xsd.exe).
in my case location was “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin”
or
You may load link from start menu called “Visual Studio x64 Win64 Command Prompt 2010″ and all needed enviroments variable will be loaded for you. Left only type “xsd params”
We need only few console parameters for generation
/o —Specifies the directory for output files. This argument can appear only once. The default is the current directory
/c — Generates classes that correspond to the specified schema. To read XML data into the object, use the System.XML.Serialization.XMLSerializer.Deserializer method.
/f — Generate fields instead of properties.
type “xsd schema.xsd /c” and result is
This is all now we can add Station list to our app as resource/ In next post i show you how to load xml from an embeded resource

Mobile Web Development -WordPress theme based on jQTouch
Posted on June 17, 2011
Once we realized that we needed external help for our iPhone app we select a web based solution :
WordPress + jQuery + jQTouch = WordPress iPhone Theme
In few hours I’ve create a custom menu in wordpress from help pages Appearance => Menus – Menu_help
This is specification :
Attach JqTouch: http://www.jqtouch.com/preview/demos/main/#home
Main page – root menu page. see. «Appearance» – «Menu», there i’ve created a sample structure with root page “Iphone help”
Page title in template header same as menu.
Under title – list of children pages. Numbers from right – count of sub menu items in section.
Under sub menu list , at page bottom – current page content (without title). Content showing at same style like phrase «Add this page to your home screen…» in template.
Naturally, if there is click on sub menu item we show same page : header , sub menu list, page content. an at the top right corner button @back@, button title is – title of parent page.
There is only 4 files without jQTouch in complected theme
functions.php (registred Menu_help)
<?php<br />
if ( function_exists( 'register_nav_menu' ) ) {<br />
register_nav_menu( 'Menu_help', 'Menu Help' );<br />

Retrive radio station list
Posted on June 16, 2011First of all we need to get an list of radiostation. There is a lot of services that already collect this information for us. For me it’s :
http://www.moskva.fm/stations for Moscow radio station
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- edited with XMLSpy v2008 sp1 (http://www.altova.com) by LolitaRB (EMBRACE) --> <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified"> <xs:element name="StationList"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="Station" maxOccurs="unbounded"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="name" type="xs:string"/> <xs:element name="url" type="xs:anyURI"/> <xs:element name="freq" type="xs:string"/> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:schema>
In each url the number is station id. For example http://www.moskva.fm/play/4001/translation 4001 it’s ID
As result we gat an list of station in XML format next you can see part of it:
<StationList>
<Station>
<name>Relax FM</name>
<url>http://www.moskva.fm/play/4014/translation</url>
<freq>90.8 FM</freq>
</Station>
<Station>
<name>DFM</name>
<url>http://www.moskva.fm/play/2002/translation</url>
<freq>101.2 FM</freq>
</Station>
<!-- ... !-->
</StationList>

What we are going to do…
Posted on May 31, 2011Below you can see the concept idea of existing infrastracture that we would be using in our WP7 application.
WP7 Radio
- FM Radio – this is almost~60 radio station wich audio source would be used.
- Media Database & Online Media Service – server that translate media content to network.
- WP7 device – target client device.
So the idea is simple WP7 app that can stream radio from 60+ station.
But there is one additional feature that i have mention : possibility to “travel in time” . Later i will describe it.
