I created an ASP.NET core project with docker support. Good thing: it works. Bad thing: the “dev” image it creates does not really contain application code. The code is added […]
It turns out that after re-registering type as a singleton in Unity calls to container.Resolve() return a new instance. This may lead and have led to ugly bugs if your code relies […]
Recently I’ve got another reminder why constructors should be simple. The situation in a nutshell: class BaseHandler subscribes to an observable in its constructor. The handler is virtual, class DerviedHandler adds incoming […]
If you wish to access standard input and output in your WPF app, you will have to compile it as a Console app and fire up the WPF application object […]
Over the week-end I created the TaskTimer class that allows to execute code on timer in an async method: static async Task DoStuffOnTimer() { using (var timer = new TaskTimer(1000).Start()) { foreach (var task in timer) { await task; DoStuff(); } } } Source […]
Our WPF started to hang when opening certain window, and debugging revealed an InvalidOperationException with this mysterious message. After some digging I found that we had code along the lines […]
I wrote a tool called “IsItMySource” that can list source files of a binary and, more importantly, check whether particular source directory matches the binary. The description is here: https://www.ikriv.com/dev/dotnet/IsItMySource/index.php. The […]
As part of one of my projects I needed to use Microsoft DIA SDK. In particular, I wanted to retrieve source files checksums stored in PDB files. DIA SDK is a […]
