Our integration third parties use SOAP request in their existing system. In order to integrate with them, we are required to have a SOAP service endpoint that the third parties can call. When we looked at building this 18 months ago, we wanted to build this web service in .Net Core. However, .Net Core only … [Read more…]
I have a requirement in my current project at work where I have to deep compare two complex objects in .Net and potentially need to return the differences between the two. The complex class looks similar to this sample Organisation class A colleague already wrote his own code to compare any two complex objects. However … [Read more…]
In this post, I’ll show the differences between standard interface implementation and explicit interface implementation. Let’s say we have a IShape interface with one method called Print() as followed Standard implementation Let’s say we have a class called Triangle which implements the IShape interface. In the standard implementation, the class would look like this. When … [Read more…]
Last post, I showed how to add simple health check for your own system in ASP.Net Core. However, if your system integrates with a third party system, you might want to also check if their system is healthy. ASP.Net Core makes it simple to add more complex health check such as checking external system by … [Read more…]
I needed to add health check for my Web API in ASP.Net Core. It needs to have an endpoint where it can be pinged to check if my system is healthy. ASP.Net Core has an in-built support for health checks. It can be enabled in the Startup class. Run the application and navigate to the … [Read more…]
I need to copy some xsl files to output directory in a folder named XSL when building. I set the Copy to Output Directory setting to Copy if newer on those files. The xsl files get copied correctly to the output folder when I build it locally. However, when deploying and running the code to … [Read more…]
When integrating with the new third party SOAP API, my colleague managed to get it working so we deployed it to test environment. However, it didn’t work on test environment with an invalid response exception. It still worked on my colleague’s computer and a few others. Fortunately, it didn’t work on my computer when I … [Read more…]
In my current project at work, we have to call a third party API which requires, in the payload, a commencement date and a terminating date. It also requires us to send the difference between those two dates inclusively. For example, – 1 Sep 2019 to 20 Oct 2019 should be 1 month and 20 … [Read more…]
I had to unit test a method that calls a service which returns an interface type. This returned interface is then serialised into JSON string and stored into to some database. This is an example of such method This is the example of the unit test I thought serialising any mock object to JSON should … [Read more…]
There are a couple ways to verify if 2 Json strings are equivalent. Using DeepEquals on JObject There’s a static function DeepEquals on JObject which compares the values of 2 tokens and all their descendant tokens. We can parse the Json strings into JObject and then use this function to compare them. Using FluentAssertions Another … [Read more…]
