Simple video II ‘Environment Management ‘

Here it is another video by Curtis Lassam, who did previous video (read Automated Testing & Inversion of Control).

This remembered me “It works on my machine” again, and again, and again …

Better watch out! 😉

Simple video about ‘Automated Testing & Inversion of Control’

Here is a little video I found (*) last days making easy to understand unit tests, integration tests, automated testing, inversion of control …
Well

Enjoy it!

Message “ASP.NET 4.0 has not been registered on the Web server….”

It happens sometimes…

Re-install from scratch, o.s. IIS, than Visual Studio … and first project web site you get

“ASP.NET 4.0 has not been registered on the Web server. You need to manually configure your Web server for ASP.NET 4.0 in order for your site to run correctly, Press F1 for more details”

What went wrong ?!? IIS was installed before Visual Studio but …

Briefly: you had to install “IIS Metabease and IIS 6 Management Compatibility ” too,

so you need to update IIS installation,

than repair ASP.NET config.

XmlDocument and XPath

Briefly, first time with XPath looks great, and it is, but when you start coding it is not so easy.
Good news, you just need a lit bit more 🙂

Example: you have a few webservices given similar xml response:

<MyResponse>
  <ResponseMessage />
  <ResponseCode />
  <!-- put custom xml here -->
  <ServerID />
  <RequestID />
</MyResponse>

What if you want to log which server run your request?
Sample code could be like this

XmlDocument xdoc = new XmlDocument();
xdoc.LoadXml(xmlString);
foreach (XmlElement xItem in xdoc.SelectNodes("//ServerID"))
{
  // do sth
}

Actually, SelectNodes methods return no nodes, and XPath it’s almost right.
XPath query string miss namespace specs, so xpath query will look for node with empty namespace.

A quick ‘n dirty sample code could be like this:

XmlDocument xdoc = new XmlDocument();
xdoc.LoadXml(xmlString);
XmlNamespaceManager nsmanager = new XmlNamespaceManager(xdoc.NameTable);
nsmanager.AddNamespace("x", xdoc.DocumentElement.Attributes["xmlns"].Value);
foreach (XmlElement xItem in xdoc.SelectNodes("//x:ServerID"))
{
  // do sth here
}

where XPath query string report namespace
