I'm currently trying to create a domain on Rackspace Cloud DNS service using openstack.net sdk, but nothings happening.
i got my rackspace account, its activated and i got my API key as well.
I wrote a console app to test my code but the results are always "WaitingForActivation" and i cant find any documentation for cloudsDNS using openstack.net sdk.
Would anyone be able to take a look at my code and tell me what im doing wrong please.
private static string RackSpaceUserName
{
get { return "username"; }
}
private static string RackSpaceUserApiKey
{
get { return "apikey"; }
}
private UserAccess RackSpaceUser
{
get
{
IIdentityProvider identityProvider = new CloudIdentityProvider();
var userAccess = identityProvider.Authenticate(Cloudidentity);
return userAccess;
}
}
private static CloudIdentity Cloudidentity
{
get
{
var ci = new CloudIdentity
{
APIKey = RackSpaceUserApiKey,
Username = RackSpaceUserName
};
return ci;
}
}
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var ParkedDomain = new CloudDnsProvider(Cloudidentity, null, true, null);
List<DnsDomainRecordConfiguration> dnsrecords = new List<DnsDomainRecordConfiguration>();
dnsrecords.Add(new DnsDomainRecordConfiguration(DnsRecordType.Ns, "testdomain.com", "dns1.stabletransit.com", TimeSpan.FromMinutes(20), null, null));
dnsrecords.Add(new DnsDomainRecordConfiguration(DnsRecordType.Ns, "testdomain.com", "dns2.stabletransit.com", TimeSpan.FromMinutes(20), null, null));
List<DnsSubdomainConfiguration> subdomains = new List<DnsSubdomainConfiguration>();
subdomains.Add(new DnsSubdomainConfiguration("info#testdomain.com", "test", ""));
DnsDomainConfiguration dnsd = new DnsDomainConfiguration("testdomain.com", TimeSpan.FromMinutes(20), "info#testdomain.com", "", dnsrecords, subdomains);
DnsConfiguration dnsconfig = new DnsConfiguration(dnsd);
var result = ParkedDomain.CreateDomainsAsync(dnsconfig, AsyncCompletionOption.RequestCompleted, CancellationToken.None, null);
Console.Write(result.Status);
Console.ReadLine();
}
the value for result.Status always returns "WaitingForActivation", and when i check my rackspace cloud dns dashboard, no domains are created.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The DNS service uses asynchronous methods. The object returned by CreateDomainsAsync is a Task which represents the asynchronous operation, but that operation may not complete prior to the call returning. You can wait for the request to be complete in your code by any of the following methods:
Await the result (only allowed in an async method, which Main cannot be).
await result;
Access the Task<TResult>.Result property.
var completedResult = result.Result;
Call the Task.Wait method.
result.Wait();

Question:
I am not sure if this falls under question or code review because the code works where I do not know if it is implemented correctly. But, do we need to acquire the access token from Microsoft.Graph using either silent or interactive modes? From what I can tell the answer is, No. (see Context below)
The new implementation seems to be drastically scaled down with the whole idea of silent and interactive token retrieval being removed. Is this correct?
using Azure.Identity;
using Microsoft.Graph;
using System;
namespace ConsoleApp1
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var scopes = new[] { "User.Read" };
// Multi-tenant apps can use "common",
// single-tenant apps must use the tenant ID from the Azure portal
var tenantId = "SomeGuid";
// Value from app registration
var clientId = "SomeGuid";
var options = new InteractiveBrowserCredentialOptions
{
TenantId = tenantId,
ClientId = clientId,
AuthorityHost = AzureAuthorityHosts.AzurePublicCloud,
// MUST be http://localhost or http://localhost:PORT
// See https://github.com/AzureAD/microsoft-authentication-library-for-dotnet/wiki/System-Browser-on-.Net-Core
RedirectUri = new Uri("http://localhost:1234"),
};
// https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/azure.identity.interactivebrowsercredential
var interactiveCredential = new InteractiveBrowserCredential(options);
var graphClient = new GraphServiceClient(interactiveCredential, scopes);
// Interactive browser login occurs here.
var me = graphClient.Me.Request().GetAsync().Result;
// Printing the results
Console.WriteLine("-------- Data from call to MS Graph --------");
Console.Write(Environment.NewLine);
Console.WriteLine($"Id: {me.Id}");
Console.WriteLine($"Display Name: {me.DisplayName}");
Console.WriteLine($"Email: {me.Mail}");
//Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}
Context:
As part of our routine maintenance, I was tasked with upgrading our NuGet packages on a Winforms desktop application that is running in Azure and whose users are in Azure Active Directory Services (AADS). One of the packages, Microsoft.Graph, had a major version change. https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Graph/4.0.0
The documentation on it indicated a new feature for handling the TokenCredentialClass. https://github.com/microsoftgraph/msgraph-sdk-dotnet/blob/4.0.0/docs/upgrade-to-v4.md#new-capabilities
From what I can tell, there is a separate and distinct break on how the token is retrieved. Previously, we followed the method provided here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/tutorial-v2-windows-desktop#add-the-code-to-initialize-msal

I am struggling to make sense of it. Partly because the feature is brand new and there are very few code samples up on the internet that say do it this way. What I have found seems to point me back to what we already are using (more on that in a bit). So, the examples may not yet be fully updated.
I am able to hit my call back function from Zoho Sign webhook. But I am not able to figure out how can I receive the response that Zoho Sign sends to my callback URL. Their documentation: https://www.zoho.com/sign/api/#webhook-management
Below is my sample code that I am using to confirm that callback function is hit. It saves a sample data to DB to confirm it is being hit. But the response I am not being able to catch hold of. This is their help documentation that guides on the same, but that misses a working sample. https://help.zoho.com/portal/en/community/topic/webhooks-for-zoho-sign
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Callback()
{
using (var context = new ZohoApiTestEntities())
{
var rowDetails = new tblWebhook();
rowDetails.PhoneNo = "7978704767";
//rowDetails.Notes1 = jsonObj.ToString();
context.tblWebhooks.Add(rowDetails);
context.SaveChanges();
}
return new HttpStatusCodeResult(HttpStatusCode.OK);
}
Finally, after a lot of hits and trials, this code worked for me. It's bad that after a lot of follow-up and calls with the Zoho team, I did not receive any help from them for many days.
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Callback()
{
string rawBody = GetDocumentContents(Request);
dynamic eventObj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(rawBody);
using (var context = new ZohoApiTestEntities())
{
var rowDetails = new tblWebhook();
rowDetails.PhoneNo = "*********";
//eventObj comes in JSOn format with two keys, "requests" and "notifications" each containing a JSON object https://www.zoho.com/sign/api/#webhook-management
//you can get your required details like this
string recipientName = eventObj.notifications.performed_by_name.ToString();
rowDetails.Notes1 = recipientName;
context.tblWebhooks.Add(rowDetails);
context.SaveChanges();
}
return new HttpStatusCodeResult(HttpStatusCode.OK);
}

I know how to fetch data from a custom Generic Inquiry using standard soap / page-based web services.
Here's my code for standard web services to get the results from a custom GI:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
GI000081.Screen context = new GI000081.Screen();
context.Url = "http://localhost/AcumaticaDB181000062/(W(6))/Soap/GI000081.asmx";
context.CookieContainer = new System.Net.CookieContainer();
LoginResult loginResult = context.Login("admin", "Passw0rd");
if (loginResult.Code != ErrorCode.OK)
{
throw new Exception(loginResult.Message);
}
GI000081.Content GI000081Content;
GI000081Content = context.GetSchema(); //.IN202500GetSchema();
//Here's the code to obtain the GI data:
string[][] GI000081Data = context.Export
(new Command[] {
GI000081Content.Result.AccountID,
GI000081Content.Result.Address,
GI000081Content.Result.CustomerID,
GI000081Content.Result.AccountName
},
null, //This is the filter - none here, so null..
0,
false,
false
);
}
My request is, can I get an example of C# code for how to do this using the Contract-based web services. I know how to extend the endpoint and get the wsdl file / service reference to my custom Generic Inquiry, but I don't know the syntax to make the actual call.
Thanks in advance...
Just to make sure that you create the entity in the endpoint properly, make sure that the top level entity contain only the Parameters and that it has a sub entity of type details contain all the results. If there is no parameter then it is fine for the top level entity to be empty.
Here is the code sample that I used
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
DefaultSoapClient client = new DefaultSoapClient();
client.Login("admin", "admin", null, null, null);
try
{
BatchPaymentsInq batch = new BatchPaymentsInq
{
Result = new BatchPaymentsInqResult[]
{
new BatchPaymentsInqResult { ReturnBehavior = ReturnBehavior.All }
}
};
var result = client.Get(batch);
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
}
finally
{
client.Logout();
}
}
}
Edit:
Here is how I extended my endpoint in order to use it with the Contract Based SOAP API
So the main entity named BatchPaymentsInq is pointing to the Generic Inquiry screen and will not have any field in it as you have mentioned that there is no parameter.
The sub entity Result is an array of BatchPaymentsInqResult an object created for containing the fields in the result grid of the inquiry.
I am trying to expose a REST API using Azure Functions which returns terms from a specific termset in SharePoint Online using CSOM and C#.
I can definitely invoke this exact same CSOM code from a console app and from an Azure API app and it is able to loop through the terms and output to console or the HTTP response successfully.
However, when the code below is invoked from the Azure Function host, it ALWAYS find a collection of NULL term objects, when looping through the TermCollection or the IEnumerable<Term> (I’ve tried by using ClientContext.LoadQuery on TermSet.GetAllTerms(), as well as by just loading the TermCollection via the TermSet.Terms property).
As soon as the iterator hits a term in the foreach (which I’ve also tried as just a LINQ Select), it thinks that the item is NULL, so calling properties on it throws the NullReferenceException. I cannot reproduce the behavior from the console app or from the API app calling into the same code - it just works as expected there and retrieves each Term object.
Why is this happening when SAME CODE is invoked from different hosts??
Why would this happen in the Azure Functions host, but not in Console app or the Azure API app?
What is the difference when invoked from an Azure Function host??
I would really like to use Azure Functions for the consumption pricing benefits, so I don't have to host this in an App Service.

Here's the screenshot of the local debugger, when using the Azure Functions CLI to debug this (you can see that it did find 10 items in the collection, but all items are null):
Not the solution, but adding to the conversation - I was able to test with PnP-PowerShell (2017-Feb). Terms were just added.

I have an Azure Web Job built using the Azure SDK whose only job is to call a web service (Web API) and then log a response based on the return value (a class). The problem is that as soon as it calls the HttpClient PostAsJsonAsync method to call the service, it exits out of the web job without executing any of the response handling. My code is:
public class Result
{
// Properties ---------------------------------------------------------
public bool Success { get; set; }
public string Error { get; set; }
}
public class Functions
{
// This function will be triggered based on the schedule you have set for this WebJob
// This function will enqueue a message on an Azure Queue called queue
[NoAutomaticTrigger]
public async static void ManualTrigger(TextWriter log, int value)
{
using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
var rootUrl = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("WebJobTargetUrl");
client.BaseAddress = new System.Uri(rootUrl);
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
Console.WriteLine("Call service");
var response = await client.PostAsJsonAsync("api/Reminder/ProcessDueReminders", new { ItemID = 1 });
Console.WriteLine("After service");
var result = await response.Content.ReadAsAsync<Result>();
Console.WriteLine("After result");
if (result.Success)
Console.WriteLine("Reminders Processed");
else
Console.WriteLine("Reminder process error: " + result.Error);
}
}
}
and the execution logs from the portal are:
I believe it has something to do with the asynchronous operation but I can't figure out a pattern that will work. Any help would be appreciated.
You must define the return value of your own async method as Task instead of void.
On a related note, you should suffix the name of your method with Async. That's not going to solve the problem, but it indicates that you're using the async/await pattern.
There is probably an exception in your PostAsJsonAsync call. Try to put a try catch around it to and log the error:
try {
var response = await client.PostAsJsonAsync("api/Reminder/ProcessDueReminders", new { ItemID = 1 });
} catch (Exception ex){
Console.WriteLine("Exception: "+ ex);
}
Console.WriteLine("After service");
