70-562 Debugging Support Windows



Locals window: It shows data in the scope. Instead of adding a watch, open the locals window, it will show the objects within the method up to the statetement executing.

Watch and quickwatch: enter a variable name, or right click them .

Call stack and Threads: to understand the context, click any methods in the stack and the corresponding file will open. When using the thread window, keep in mind that on a signle cpu, one thread is active at a time, their can be many in the list, but only one at a time is active. The active thread is the thread that is currently able to run, it's possible to select another thread and switch to it, freezing prevents execution, thawing allows execution.

The exception assistant puts in break mode and allows to check values of variables. To view possible exceptions, go to Debug->Exceptoions, and check the exception you want to break on. From the exception assistant, open the view detail link to view the properties window.

Debugging stored procedure: Debug from any project or use a database project, the advantage of a database project is it's integration to team foundation. Debugging sql server implies entering a secured environment, you will need access to debug a stored procedure(be an admin on the sql server if using Sql login), make sure to unblock firewall ports. If using windows auth to connect to sql, the user must have stored procedure permissions(sp_enablesqldebug) thats a system stored procedure on sql server.

To debug a stored procedure, open the server explore, then the sql server, and open the stored procedure. Set a breakpoint, right click the in the source file and choose step into the stored procedure, a model window shows up to provide  valid parameters values. In the same way as managed code, when debugging sql you can open the locals window, and call stack. The output window will display the results of the stored procedure.

React JS Patterns

React JS is always evolving, and evolving quickly. These evolutions can be very significant ones, for example, the addition of hooks. React has a lot of code patterns, often these patterns are motivated by the DRY and/or the open-close principle. These patterns sometimes come in to replace a previous one, yet the previous ones still stays in use, as a consequence, the list of patterns keep growing. The goal of the next few posts will be to list the patterns commonly used in React JS developpement. Some patterns are more specific to JSX and I will start with these, and maybe add patterns specific to Redux.

Rxjs Forkjoin vs Zip

These Rxjs combination operators are handy to make Rest calls in parallel and combine their results. Both take n observables and will return the results, with the difference that forkJoin will complete even if one of the nested observables errors of completes.

70-562 Coding Web Parts

Coding Web Parts. The Web Part framework helps you write code to control all aspects of web parts behavior. Not all things are automaticaly handled, changing the display mode, changing the personalizing scope, reseting data, creating web parts with custom or user controls, and creating connections. PersonlizationADministration.FindSharedState method allows to find the personlization data using the FindUserState and ResetUser state. Web parts can be implement following those typical patterns, Master/Details(one shows the order, the other the items), Filter by Form(one shows the order, other allows to edit items, List/Form InputDisplay: one to edit, the other to view A web part can be a data provider, or consumer, or both. When using provider/consumer, The data is not guaranteed to be final until the prerender event. Custom controls as web parts allow to add new verbs to web parts, like, Verify. Specifying whether a control is a provider or cusumer is done in the cla...
