I have imported SignalR Nuget package and SignalR sample is working well in my project. But even after having all required using statements I can't get the intellisense working for the classes in SignalR (like Hub class).
The hubs proxy is dynamically generated at runtime, so you won't get any intellisense for it.
You can use Hubify.exe (see Hubify-section on http://weblogs.asp.net/davidfowler/archive/2012/06/10/signalr-0-5-1-released.aspx ) to generate a static javascript-file.
Or you can create your own T4-Template that does the same thing. See: https://github.com/SignalR/SignalR/issues/106
Update:
Regarding intellisense for C#
You won't get intellisense for Clients and Caller, since they are dynamic.
Absence of compile-time type checking leads to the absence of IntelliSense as well. Because the C# compiler doesn't know the type of the object, it can't enumerate its properties and methods. This problem might be solved with additional type inference, as is done in the IronPython tools for Visual Studio, but for now C# doesn't provide it.

public class Chat : Hub
{
public void Send(string message)
{
// No intellisense for addMessage, sorry
Clients.addMessage(message);
}
}
look at the SignalR documentation here
the Hub.Caller and Clients are dynamic in nature.
dynamic is a new keyword added in .Net 4 and dosent support compile time checking so you cannot get intellisense for dynamic objects. all the dynamic objects are checked at runtime only. so even if you your self create a dynamic object like
dynamic d = new ExpandoObject();
and try to do this "d.". you wont get any intellisense because the framework dosent know whats all is present in the dynamic object. and will be discovered only at runtime.

This is in continuation to one of my previous queries(active reports in C /CLI). I am accessing an xml-based active report from a C++/CLI application. Is there any way by which I can have a data communication with the active report from C++/CLI, for example, I want to print the managed data present in the C++/CLI application on the details section of the XML report which the application accesses. I don't want to use any c# code. Can it be done? Thanks.
Sure, ActiveReports can do it. Since C++/CLI produces standard .NET objects you can create objects in C++/CLI and ActiveReports will bind to them. Create an IEnumerable collection of objects that you want to bind to (each object in the collection is like a database "row").
Take a look at the examples at Binding Reports to a Data Source. Expand the code sections under the heading To use the IEnumerable data source and you'll see how to do it in C#. You would do precisely the same thing in C++/CLI, you'll just change the syntax from C# to C++/CLI. Clearly, you know C++/CLI syntax so you can do that part, but I think this answers your question regarding how to do this with ActiveReports.
Update based on question asked in comments:
You should be able to handle an ActiveReports' event such as the FetchData event using something like the following code:
void MyFetchDataHandler(Object^ sender, FetchEventArgs^ eArgs)
{
//put handling code here...
}
myReport->FetchData += ref new FetchEventHandler(this, &MyClass::MyFetchDataHandler)
I didn't compile this (I don't have AR handy), but it should be close. Please see Microsoft's reference documentation on C++/CLI event syntax here.
I'm consuming WCF services using the Silverlight 3 stubs and one parameter I need is a System.Collections.ObjectModel.ObservableCollection.
However the following code is throwing a NotImplementedException:
ItemType[] aItemTypes = ...;
ObservableCollection<ItemType> aTypes = null;
if(aItemTypes != null)
{
aTypes = new ObservableCollection<ItemType> (aItemTypes);
}
If I use a foreach loop to add all entries manually instead of using the constructor that takes an enumerable, it works. Is there a reason why the constructor is missing or was it just forgotten?
Is there a reason why the constructor is missing or was it just forgotten?
This sometimes occurs on Mono base class library source code when someone implement a type but does not need everything inside it. In such cases it's better to add stubs for the missing code since this:
allow compilation of existing code;
it avoid MissingMethodException at runtime, a NotImplementedException is easier to diagnose;
allow Mono's tooling, e.g. MoMA and Gendarme, to report the NotImplementedException on existing .NET code.
In this specific case I suspect that more tests were needed to see if the items being copied needed to trigger events (whgen adding them) or not.
The good news is that this method is implemented in Mono's GIT master. I'll look into backporting this into mono-2-10 branch so MonoTouch will get it in future releases.
I have been trying to use protobuf-net with MonoTouch but I have no idea how, and despite having heard that it is possible, I haven't been able to find any tutorial or any example that actually work.
It was confirmed by Marc Gravell on his blog that it does work on MonoTouch. I have also looked through the blogs of the two people he states in this article, but I haven't found anything related to protobuf.
Having no lead on the subject, i decided to download protobuf-net and try it out anyway. So I created the following object for testing purposes :
[ProtoContract]
public class ProtoObject
{
public ProtoObject()
{
}
[ProtoMember(1)]
public byte[] Bytes { get; set; }
}
and I tried to send it through WCF from a service running on windows using a [ServiceContract] interface with
[OperationContract]
ProtoObject GetObject();
but the instance of ProtoObject recieved on the device is always null. This is not really unexpected since i have read that to make protobuf-net work with WCF you need to modify the app.config/web.config.
It's a little hard to accomplish since a MonoTouch project has no app.config, but I did not yet give up. To replace the app.config, I tried to add the ProtoEndpointBehavior to the client's endpoint's behaviors programmatically, and there I hit a wall. ProtoBuf.ServiceModel.ProtoEndpointBehavior, available on .NET 3.0 implementation of protobuf-net is not available on the iOS release.
How would I go about using protobuf-net to deserialize objects received from a windows-based WCF endpoint using protobuf-net serialization.
It is actually pretty much the same as described in this blog entry by Friction Point Studios. Since meta-programming on the device is not really an option, the trick is to pre-generate a serialization dll. This can be done by creating a small console exe (this is just a tool - it isn't designed to be pretty) that configures a RuntimeTypeModel (by adding the types you are interested in), and then call .Compile(...):
var model = TypeModel.Create();
model.Add(typeof (ProtoObject), true);
model.Compile("MySerializer", "MySerializer.dll");
This generates a serializer dll; simply reference this dll (along with the iOS version protobuf-net), and use the serializer type in the dll to interact with your model:
var ser = new MySerializer();
ser.Serialize(dest, obj); // etc
Just to bring this up to date there are a few issues with using WCF + Protobuf on MonoTouch. As you have observed the current releases of System.ServiceModel and protobuf light for ios don't include all the necessary bits.
However if you go and get the full System.ServiceModel from the Mono repository on GitHub and build it against the full Protobuf source then you can get it to work; I have done so.
You need to generate a serialisation assembly using the precompile tool then edit the ProtoOperationBehavior attribute to give it some way to reference your serialisation assembly. All the changes are too extensive to document here but it can be done and it is a lot faster than DatacontractSerializer which is pretty awful on iOS.
I know it's a bit old school, but I have to translate an LDAP function written in VB (Visual Basic not .net). And using managed code I can't produce the same result.
To solve the problem quickly I would like to use COM (Component Object Model) exactly as the Visual Basic function is doing like this:
set dso=GetObject("LDAP:")
I'm completely out of practice with COM, what DLL would I need to include as a reference to make it work?
I believe Marshal.GetActiveObject is the equivalent to the VB GetObject call you are used to using.
This will return you the object, you then need to either:
Reference an interop assembly with the type definitions for your LDAP object
Make the calls to the object using reflection invoke
Use the dynamic keyword in C# 4.0 to make the calls to the object using a late bound mechanism, similar to what VB did
I recommend using option 3 if you are using .Net 4.0
I have a dynamic object built inside IronPython and I would like to build controls on my asp.net page dynamically based on what types of objects are nested inside my dynamic object:
dynamic variousComplexObjects = IronPythonApp.GetControls();
repeater.DataSource = variousComplexObjects;
repeater.DataBind();
Can someone write me a quick example of what to do next? I'm sure there is a tutorial out there doing something similar, but I'm having a bit of trouble googling it. Feel free to recommend me the correct keywords or point me in the direction of properly consuming DLR data in an asp.net app.
Thanks!!
Assuming you use .net 4, you can just use dynamic in your databound event.
repeater.ItemDataBound += OnItemDataBound;
protected void OnItemDataBound(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
{
dynamic dynObj = (dynamic)e.DataItem;
string text = dynObj.Text; // Etc.
}
I'd probably have a type property or similar to check on - otherwise you're stuck with trying to use GetType() which I'm not certain whether works with IronPython.
Here's a thread entitled "Databind object with 'dynamic' properties". It involves creating customer get and set methods on the type.
It doesn't exactly fit with your scenario of C#'s dynamic and sourcing data from the DLR, but it might help.
Here's another thread entitled "Can I databind to a collection of Dynamic Class". The authored created a dynamic class using Reflection.Emit.
Please comment if any of these solutions fit your case. I'm also interested in the solution, but don't have the tolls to test, at the moment.
Thanks.. I guess nobody is coding in traditional asp.net web forms and dynamic objects. There's probably a way to do it.. but I just switched to MVC instead.
