I'm trying to get the hung of catel but have a problem.
Trying "Messaging via attribute" gets an compile error.
'Catel.MVVM.ViewModelBase.GetService(object)' is obsolete: 'GetService is no longer >recommended. It is better to inject all dependencies (which the TypeFactory fully supports) >Will be removed in version 4.0.0.'
private void OnCmdExecute()
{
var mediator = GetService<IMessageMediator>();
mediator.SendMessage("Test Value");
}
[MessageRecipient]
private void ShowMessage(string value)
{
var messageService = GetService<IMessageService>();
messageService.Show(value);
}
I'm using 3.9.
A hint and a code snippet whould be good help.
Thanks for your attention.
The GetService is marked obsolete. You have 2 options:
1) If you are using a view model, simply let the services be injected in the constructor:
private readonly IMessageMediator _messageMediator;
private readonly IMessageService _messageService;
public MyViewModel(IMessageMediator messageMediator, IMessageService messageService)
{
Argument.IsNotNull(() => messageMediator);
Argument.IsNotNull(() => messageService);
_messageMediator = messageMediator;
_messageService= messageService;
}
2) Use the GetDependencyResolver extension method:
var dependencyResolver = this.GetDependencyResolver();
var messageMediator = dependencyResolver.Resolve<IMessageMediator>();
Solution 1 is the recommended way.
Thanks for your answer.
I also found a good example in the "Catel.Examples" solution, link to download

My PLUGIN is firing on Entity A and in my code I am invoking a web service that returns an XML file with some attributes (attr1,attr2,attr3 etc ...) for Entity B including GUID.
I need to update Entity B using the attributes I received from the web service.
Can I use Service Context Class (SaveChanges) or what is the best way to accomplish my task please?
I would appreciate it if you provide an example.
There is no reason you need to use a service context in this instance. Here is basic example of how I would solve this requirement. You'll obviously need to update this code to use the appropriate entities, implement your external web service call, and handle the field updates. In addition, this does not have any error checking or handling as should be included for production code.
I made an assumption you were using the early-bound entity classes, if not you'll need to update the code to use the generic Entity().
class UpdateAnotherEntity : IPlugin
{
private const string TARGET = "Target";
public void Execute(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
{
//PluginSetup is an abstraction from: http://nicknow.net/dynamics-crm-2011-abstracting-plugin-setup/
var p = new PluginSetup(serviceProvider);
var target = ((Entity) p.Context.InputParameters[TARGET]).ToEntity<Account>();
var updateEntityAndXml = GetRelatedRecordAndXml(target);
var relatedContactEntity =
p.Service.Retrieve(Contact.EntityLogicalName, updateEntityAndXml.Item1, new ColumnSet(true)).ToEntity<Contact>();
UpdateContactEntityWithXml(relatedContactEntity, updateEntityAndXml.Item2);
p.Service.Update(relatedContactEntity);
}
private static void UpdateContactEntityWithXml(Contact relatedEntity, XmlDocument xmlDocument)
{
throw new NotImplementedException("UpdateContactEntityWithXml");
}
private static Tuple<Guid, XmlDocument> GetRelatedRecordAndXml(Account target)
{
throw new NotImplementedException("GetRelatedRecordAndXml");
}
}
I am using Breeze with much success in my SPA, but seem to be stuck when trying to return parent->child data in a single query by using expand().
When doing a single table query, the $type in the JSON return is correct:
$type: MySPA.Models.Challenge, MySPA
However if I use expand() in my query I get the relational data, but the $type is this:
System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary 2[[System.String, mscorlib],[System.Object, mscorlib]]
Because of the $type is not the proper table + namespace, the client side code can't tell that this is an entity and exposes it as JSON and not a Breeze object (with observables, entityAspect, etc.).
At first I was using my own ContextProvider so that I could override the Before/After saving methods. When I had these problems, I reverted back to the stock EFContextProvider<>.
I am using EF5 in a database first mode.
Here's my controller code:
[BreezeController]
public class DataController : ApiController
{
// readonly ModelProvider _contextProvider = new ModelProvider();
readonly EFContextProvider<TestEntities> _contextProvider = new EFContextProvider<TestEntities>();
[HttpGet]
public string Metadata()
{
return _contextProvider.Metadata();
}
[Queryable(AllowedQueryOptions = AllowedQueryOptions.All)]
[HttpGet]
public IQueryable<Challenge> Challenges()
{
return _contextProvider.Context.Challenges;
}
[HttpPost]
public SaveResult SaveChanges(JObject saveBundle)
{
return _contextProvider.SaveChanges(saveBundle);
}
public IQueryable<ChallengeNote> ChallengeNotes()
{
return _contextProvider.Context.ChallengeNotes;
}
}
Here's my BreezeWebApiConfig.cs
public static void RegisterBreezePreStart()
{
GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Formatters.Remove(GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Formatters.XmlFormatter);
GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "BreezeApi",
routeTemplate: "breeze/{controller}/{action}"
);
}
Is there a configuration setting that I am missing?
Did you try "expanding" on server side? Is it needed to do expand on client side? I tried to do expand before but failed for me as well, did some research and decided I'd rather place it on server:
[HttpGet]
public IQueryable<Challenge> ChallengesWithNotes()
{
return _contextProvider.Context.Challenges.Include("ChallengeNotes");
}
This should be parsed as expected. On client side you would query for "ChallengeNotes" instead of "Challenges" and you wouldn't need to write expand part.
I strongly suspect that the problem is due to your use of the [Queryable] attribute.
You must use the [BreezeQueryable] attribute instead!
See the documentation on limiting queries.
We are aware that Web API's QueryableAttribute has been deprecated in favor of EnableQueryAttribute in Web API v.1.5. Please stick with BreezeQueryable until we've had a chance to write a corresponding derived attribute for EnableQuery. Check with the documentation for the status of this development.
I tried making a form in GXT to upload files, but I see more examples on the net, I failed to make it work a simple FileUploadField to save the file locally.
Cde fragment:
formPanel = new FormPanel();
formPanel.setBodyBorder(false);
formPanel.setHeaderVisible(false);
formPanel.setAction(GWT.getModuleBaseURL() + "fileUpload");
formPanel.setEncoding(Encoding.MULTIPART);
formPanel.setMethod(Method.POST);
formPanel.setButtonAlign(HorizontalAlignment.CENTER);
formPanel.setHeaderVisible(true);
fileUploadField = new FileUploadField();
fileUploadField.setName("fileName");
fileUploadField.setAllowBlank(false);
fileUploadField.setFieldLabel("Archivo");
fileUploadField.addListener(Events.OnChange, new Listener<BaseEvent>() {
public void handleEvent(BaseEvent BaseEvent) {
aSubmitButton.setEnabled(true);
}
});
aSubmitButton = new Button("OK");
aSubmitButton.setEnabled(false);
aSubmitButton.setId("submit_button");
aSubmitButton.addSelectionListener(new SelectionListener<ButtonEvent>() {
#Override
public void componentSelected(ButtonEvent inButtonEvent) {
formPanel.submit();
}
});
The above code is the declaration of FormPanel and FileUploadField.
We use gwtupload-0.6.3-compat.jar library to do the job.
Basically, the idea is that on the server side you need to create a servlet, which is going to be accepting your uploaded files. The mentioned library provides UploadAction servlet extension facilitating that.
On the client side you can use one of gwtupload components. We use MultiUploader for instance. That's literally a few lines of code there. Main code is in the listener:
private IUploader.OnFinishUploaderHandler onFinishUploaderHandler = new IUploader.OnFinishUploaderHandler() {
public void onFinish(IUploader uploader) {
if (uploader.getStatus() == Status.SUCCESS) {
// What you want to do when file is uploaded.
}
}
};
The rest is taken care of by the component. Since the library is for GWT, it comes with source code, so you can see what it's doing behind the scene and read extensive comments in the code.
Free to use of course.
I'm trying to re-use some of the model configurations on several entities that implements a interface.
Check this code:
public static void ConfigureAsAuditable<T>(this EntityTypeConfiguration<T> thisRef)
where T : class, IAuditable
{
thisRef.Property(x => x.CreatedOn)
.HasColumnName("utctimestamp")
.IsRequired();
thisRef.Property(x => x.LastUpdate)
.HasColumnName("utclastchanged")
.IsRequired();
} // ConfigureAsAuditable
as you can see I'm trying to call the extension method "ConfigureAsAuditable" on my onmodelcreating method like this:
EntityTypeConfiguration<Account> conf = null;
conf = modelBuilder.Entity<Account>();
conf.ToTable("dbo.taccount");
conf.ConfigureAsAuditable();
When debugging i get this exception:
The property 'CreatedOn' is not a declared property on type
'Account'. Verify that the property has not been explicitly excluded
from the model by using the Ignore method or NotMappedAttribute data
annotation. Make sure that it is a valid primitive property.
Thanks in advance :)
PD:
I'm using EF 5-rc, VS 2011 and .NET Framework 4.5
I think a better approach would be to implement your own derived version of EntityTypeConfiguration. For example:
public class MyAuditableConfigurationEntityType<T> : EntityTypeConfiguration<T>
where T : class, IAuditable{
public bool IsAuditable{get;set;}
}
Then, when building your model, use that new type:
var accountConfiguration = new MyAuditableConfigurationEntityType<Account>();
accountConfiguration.IsAuditable = true; // or whatever you need to set
accountConfiguration.(HasKey/Ignore/ToTable/Whatever)
modelBuilder.Configurations.Add(accountConfiguration);
I'm getting into TDD; using nUnit and RhinoMocks 3.5.
I'm trying to figure out how to AssertWasCalled on a method in the SystemUnderTest (SUT). My understanding is that you can't mock the system under test. In fact, my current test results in an exception because the I'm using the AssertWasCalled on the SUT.
OrdersPresenter:
public void OnViewLoad_GetOrders()
{
var orders = GetOrders();
View.Model.Orders = orders;
}
public List<Orders> GetOrders()
{
return _ordersRepository.GetAll();
}
OrdersPresenterTest:
_ordersPresenter = new OrdersPresenter(_view, _ordersRepository);
[Test]
public void OnViewLoad_GetOrders_Should_Call_GetOrders()
{
_view.Raise(v => v.LoadOrders += _ordersPresenter.OnViewLoad_GetOrders, view, new EventArgs);
_ordersPresenter.AssertWasCalled(d => d.GetOrders); // Getting non-mock exception here
}
How do I Assert GetOrders was called in the SUT? I haven't been able to figure it out in the docs.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Edit:
I understand the GetOrders method in the SUT should be private. I went back thru Roy Osherove's Art of Unit Testing to see how to test private methods. Roy says making a method public (to test against) is not necessarily a bad thing, so I will keep it public.
So I've written a test for GetOrders and I assert the return value ShouldBe a list of orders. That said, I believe I need to restructure my test for OnViewLoad_GetOrders by stubbing the value I get from GetOrders and asserting the results of my actions on that object.
Can someone confirm and explain?
You can not use AssertWasCalled() on not-mocked objects. Just abstract class OrdersPresenter by an interface (use Extract Interface refactoring technique) and then
var ordersPresenter = MockRepository.GenerateMock<IOrderRepository>();
view.Raise(...);
_ordersPresenter.AssertWasCalled(d => d.GetOrders);
BTW,
for me it is not clear why RhinoMocks not used generic parameter constraint for AssertWasCalled
public static void AssertWasCalled<T>(this T mock, Action<T> action,
Action<IMethodOptions<object>> setupConstraints)
Basically T is not limited, but I believe it would be better limit it to somethign like IMockMarkerInterface
