Zamena GPS Navigatora

Kupio sam GPS navigator Prestigio GeoVision 150 u Gigatron prodavnici (www.gigatronshop.com). Ispostvavilo se da je neispravn. Ovde cu da vam opisem kako je tekao tok reklamacije pa ce gore navedena firma dobiti od mene ili pohvale ili kritike.

MSTest and TeamCity trouble

When I run test from Visual Studio all tests pass but when I setup test environment from Teamcity half of my test fails.

Problem was because some of assemblies was missing in mstest environment. Actually, I have used Enterprise library and I had custom trace listener. Test project had that trace listener in references. But when Teamcity runs mstest my assembly was missing in build agent working folder.

All assemblies that are not used directly in test (for example class from my assembly was dynamically loaded by enterprise library application logging block) will not be copied to test folder. Therefor, those test methods should be decorated with attribute like:


[DeploymentItem("MyTraceListener.dll")]


Somehow, this was not necessary when you run tests from Visuals Studio IDE.

I hope that I save you some time.

Hibernate (NHibernate) and Polymorphism

If you use lazy loading on base class, NHibernate will create proxy class of base class so you will not be able to use is operator to check type of object. For example:


abstract class Base
{
};

class A : Base
{
}

class B: Base
{
}

class C
{
public virtual Base BaseClass {get; set;}
}


If you now list all C objects from database and try to check of what type is C.BaseClass with

if (c.BaseClass is A)
{
}
else if (c.BaseClass is B)
{
}
else
{
//ERROR
}


you will get an error.

Simplest way to solve this problem is to add method in base class that will returns instance to itself:


abstract class Base
{
public virtual Base This()
{
return this;
}
};


Now, you can check:

if (c.BaseClass.This() is A)
{
}
else if (c.BaseClass.This() is B)
{
}


Firefox hangs

It happened to me that firefox won't shutdown. Also, when I choose to start new instance of firefox it fails.

I found that problem was in skype's addon for firefox . I uninstalled it (in firefox: Tools => Addon=> Extension) and everything works OK now.

Missing svc handler

Windows 2008 comes with installed .NET framework 3.5 but without installed IIS. When you install IIS you don't have support for WCF (there is no handler for svc). To install support for svc open command prompt and go to .net framework 3.0 location (:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.0\Windows Communication Foundation\) and run:

servicemodelreg -i

An error occurred when verifying security for the message

One of the possible reasons:

- Check if the time on the server and the time on the client does not match.
