PartitionKey value must be supplied for this operation in cosmosdb delete operaiton

I am trying to delete a document from Cosmos DB
My code is like this:
public async Task<IHttpActionResult> DeletePartner(string id)
{
var telemetry = new TelemetryClient();
try
{
if (!ModelState.IsValid)
{
return BadRequest(ModelState);
}
var customers = await CosmosStoreHolder.Instance.CosmosStoreCustomer.Query().Where(x=> x.PartnerId == id).ToListAsync();
var userStore = CosmosStoreHolder.Instance.CosmosStoreUser;
var users = await userStore.Query().Where(x => x.PartnerId == id).ToListAsync(); ;
if (customers.Count> 0 || users.Count>0)
{
return BadRequest("You cant delete partners with existing customers or users");
}
else
{
var result = await CosmosStoreHolder.Instance.CosmosStorePartner.RemoveByIdAsync(id, "/CosmosEntityName");
return Ok(result);
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
string guid = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
var dt = new Dictionary<string, string>
{
{ "Error Lulo: ", guid }
};
telemetry.TrackException(ex, dt);
return BadRequest("Error Lulo: " + guid);
}
}
}
[SharedCosmosCollection("shared")]
public class Partner : ISharedCosmosEntity
{
/// <summary>
/// Partner id
/// </summary>
[JsonProperty("Id")]
public string Id { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// Partner name

public string PartnerName { get; set; }

}
/// <summary>
/// Partner type Enum
/// </summary>
public enum PartnerType

}
But I got this error:
PartitionKey value must be supplied for this operation
I was trying to send as string "/CosmosEntityName" as second parameter, but it doesnt work
I am using Cosmonaut

You need to use the request options. For example, if your collection is partitioned by CosmosEntityName;
await this.documentClient.DeleteDocumentAsync(productDocument._self, new RequestOptions { PartitionKey = new Microsoft.Azure.Documents.PartitionKey(productDocument.CosmosEntityName) });
EDIT:
Here's what you need with Cosmonaut SDK
You need to provide the partition key value not the partition key
definition when you delete. Your delete request should look like this,
assuming the id is your partition key.
var deleted = await this._cosmonautClient.DeleteDocumentAsync(this._databaseName, collectionName, message.Id, new RequestOptions { PartitionKey = new PartitionKey(message.Id) });

You need to pass the value of the partition key of the element you want to delete as second parameter, not the path and attribute name.
var result = await CosmosStoreHolder.Instance.CosmosStorePartner.RemoveByIdAsync(id, "<partition key value for that id>");
Since the attribute you have defined as PK is CosmosEntityName, you need that attribute's value for that document.

c# How to Add Custom Validation Based on Boolean

Here i have a Class Like
Public Class Employee
{
[Required]
public string FName { get; set; }
[Required]
public bool Married { get; set; }
public string WifeName { get; set; }
public string Wife_dOB { get; set; }
}
Here WifeName And Wife_Dob is Required only When Married Is True
Please Help me How can i Resolve this Problem
Im using Here MVC

You can use a custom validation attribute.
You can see bellow a solution that I used a few time ago:
/// <summary>
/// Provides conditional validation based on related property value.
/// </summary>
[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Property, AllowMultiple = false)]
public sealed class RequiredIfAttribute : ValidationAttribute
{
#region Properties
/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the other property name that will be used during validation.
/// </summary>
/// <value>
/// The other property name.
/// </value>
public string OtherProperty { get; private set; }
/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the display name of the other property.
/// </summary>
/// <value>
/// The display name of the other property.
/// </value>
public string OtherPropertyDisplayName { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the other property value that will be relevant for validation.
/// </summary>
/// <value>
/// The other property value.
/// </value>
public object OtherPropertyValue { get; private set; }
/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets a value indicating whether other property's value should match or differ from provided other property's value (default is <c>false</c>).
/// </summary>
/// <value>
/// <c>true</c> if other property's value validation should be inverted; otherwise, <c>false</c>.
/// </value>
/// <remarks>
/// How this works
/// - true: validated property is required when other property doesn't equal provided value
/// - false: validated property is required when other property matches provided value
/// </remarks>
public bool IsInverted { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// Gets a value that indicates whether the attribute requires validation context.
/// </summary>
/// <returns><c>true</c> if the attribute requires validation context; otherwise, <c>false</c>.</returns>
public override bool RequiresValidationContext
{
get { return true; }
}

public RequiredIfAttribute(string otherProperty, object otherPropertyValue)
: base("'{0}' is required because '{1}' has a value {3}'{2}'.")
{
this.OtherProperty = otherProperty;
this.OtherPropertyValue = otherPropertyValue;
this.IsInverted = false;

protected override ValidationResult IsValid(object value, ValidationContext validationContext)
{
if (validationContext == null)
{
throw new ArgumentNullException("validationContext");
}
PropertyInfo otherProperty = validationContext.ObjectType.GetProperty(this.OtherProperty);

return new ValidationResult(

return ValidationResult.Success;

FluentValidation might be a good choice for your problem. With FluentValidation it would be easy to create an EmployeeValidator class to perform as much or as little validation as needed.
Note: The examples below are written using the standard FluentValidation package since I don't use MVC. There appears to be nuget packages for several versions of MVC in addition to the standard nuget package and your mileage may vary using those implementations.
Here is a very simple example of how to use FluentValidation:
void Main()
{
var emp = new Employee { FName = "John Smith", Married = true };
var val = new EmployeeValidator();
val.ValidateAndThrow(emp);
}
public class Employee
{
public string FName { get; set; }
public bool Married { get; set; }
public string WifeName { get; set; }
public string Wife_dOB { get; set; }
}
public class EmployeeValidator : AbstractValidator<Employee>
{
public EmployeeValidator()
{
RuleFor(e => e.WifeName).NotEmpty().When(e => e.Married);
RuleFor(e => e.Wife_dOB).NotEmpty().When(e => e.Married);
}
}
EDIT
I forgot to include an example of the output from the validation code above.
Example output:
ValidationException: Validation failed:
-- WifeName: 'Wife Name' must not be empty.
-- Wife_dOB: 'Wife_d OB' must not be empty.
An alternative approach, and in my opinion a better one, would be something like this that requires no validation, at least for the Married property:
public class Person
{
public Person(string firstName, string surname, DateTime dateOfBirth)
{
FirstName = firstName;
Surname = surname;
DateOfBirth = dateOfBirth;
}
public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string Surname { get; set; }
public string FullName => $"{FirstName} {Surname}";
public DateTime DateOfBirth { get; }
}
public class Employee : Person
{
public Employee(string firstName, string lastName, DateTime dateOfBirth, DateTime dateOfHire)
: base(firstName, lastName, dateOfBirth)
=> DateOfHire = dateOfHire;
public DateTime DateOfHire { get; }
public Person Spouse { get; set; }
public bool IsMarried => Spouse != null;
}
With this implementation the IsMarried property simply projects whether or not the Spouse property is set. This is purely for convenience but can often be helpful.
Some validation that might make sense for these objects could be the following:
public class PersonValidator : AbstractValidator<IPerson>
{
public PersonValidator()
{
RuleFor(p => p.FirstName).NotEmpty();
RuleFor(p => p.Surname).NotEmpty();
RuleFor(p => p.DateOfBirth).SetValidator(new DateOfBirthValidator());
}
}
public class EmployeeValidator : AbstractValidator<IEmployee>
{
private static readonly DateTime CompanyInceptionDate
= DateTime.Today.Subtract(TimeSpan.FromDays(365.25d * 10d));
public EmployeeValidator()
{
// Person rules
RuleFor(p => p.FirstName).NotEmpty();
RuleFor(p => p.Surname).NotEmpty();
RuleFor(p => p.DateOfBirth).SetValidator(new DateOfBirthValidator());
// Employee rules
RuleFor(e => e.DateOfHire).SetValidator(
// Can't be in the future nor older than the company
new DateRangeValidator(CompanyInceptionDate, DateTime.Today));
}
}
// This class really isn't necessary
// The built-in InclusiveBetween/ExclusiveBetween validators would work just as well
public class DateRangeValidator : PropertyValidator
{
protected const double DaysInAYear = 365.25d;
public DateRangeValidator(DateTime from, DateTime to)
: base($"{{PropertyName}} out of range. Expected between {from:yyyy-MM-dd} and {to:yyyy-MM-dd}.")
{
From = from;
To = to;
}
public DateTime From { get; }
public DateTime To { get; }
protected override bool IsValid(PropertyValidatorContext context)
=> context.PropertyValue is DateTime date
? date >= From && date <= To
: false;
}
public class DateOfBirthValidator : DateRangeValidator
{
private static readonly TimeSpan OneHundredAndFiftyYears
= TimeSpan.FromDays(DaysInAYear * 150d);
public DateOfBirthValidator()
// Can't be in the future nor older than 150 years
: base(DateTime.Today.Subtract(OneHundredAndFiftyYears), DateTime.Today) { }
}

Model binding new Datatables 1.10 parameters

In Datatables 1.10 the ajax server side parameters changed from
public class DataTableParamModel
{
public string sEcho{ get; set; }
public string sSearch{ get; set; }
public int iDisplayLength{ get; set; }
public int iDisplayStart{ get; set; }
public int iColumns{ get; set; }
public int iSortingCols{ get; set; }
public string sColumns{ get; set; }
}
to (API Here http://datatables.net/manual/server-side)
columns[i][data]
columns[i][name]
columns[i][orderable]
columns[i][search][regex]
columns[i][search][value]
columns[i][searchable]
...
draw
length
order[i][column]
order[i][dir]
...
search[regex]
search[value]
start
Some are easy to bind
public class DataTableParamModel
{
public string draw { get; set; }
public int length{ get; set; }
public int start { get; set; }
}
But the new array format looks tricky.
What is the new appropriate model to map the new parameter format?

Here is a model binder and class that will bind these new parameters...
Nuget Package: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Wetware.DataTables

MVC6
If you're going to MVC6 you no longer need the model binder as MVC6 includes a JQueryFormValueProvider into the default model binder that can bind these values.
The model classes themselves may still be useful, however.
There is a bug to be fixed in 2.1.0 that doesn't allow binding for HttpGet but still works for HttpPost

Give this a try #shoe: datatables-mvc project: https://github.com/ALMMa/datatables-mvc

I changed my javascript to use the legacy ajax params option which uses the old parameters to send to the server. This is done through $.fn.dataTable.ext.legacy.ajax = true; so now my code becomes something like...
$.fn.dataTable.ext.legacy.ajax = true;
var datatable = $('#data-table').DataTable({
"processing": true,
"serverSide": true,
"ajax": "MyController/AjaxHandlerPaging",
"pageLength": 25,
"order": [[2, 'desc']],
"columns": []
});

I ran into the same issue when moving to 1.10. Basically, I changed my parameter class like this (getting rid of the unsupported parameters):
public class jQueryDataTableParamModel
{
/// <summary>
/// Request sequence number sent by DataTable,
/// same value must be returned in response
/// </summary>
public string draw { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// Number of records that should be shown in table
/// </summary>
public int length { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// First record that should be shown(used for paging)
/// </summary>
public int start { get; set; }
}
In my controller, I get the search value, sort order, and sort column like this:
var searchString = Request["search[value]"];
var sortColumnIndex = Convert.ToInt32(Request["order[0][column]"]);
var sortDirection = Request["order[0][dir]"]; // asc or desc

The full server side binding implementation can be found here. I ran into a similar issue and this was how I went about solving it.

Can i JSON serialize a object which contains a list?

I've run into a issue when using JsonConvert.SerializeObject(addToBasketView) as it seems not to like tha list that i pass into it - until i passed in the list it was working fine - are you not able to pass a list?
Here is my code:
controller:
//We need a list of Automation scripts - this was in Apollo but now we need to pass it in teh message
var automationList = AutomationHelper(retailerId, productId);
var addToBasketView = new AddToBasketView
{
Url = retailerProduct.DeepLink,
Password = (password),
Username = (username),
RetailerProductJson = new RetailerProductJson(retailerProduct),
WidgetImpressionId = id,
Quantity = qty,
MessageId = messageId,
AutomationList = automationList
};
// now turn it into a string
var json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(addToBasketView);
Addtobasketview.cs:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
namespace WidgetData
{
/// <summary>
/// This is the view that we will give to the AddToBasketForm
/// </summary>

public class AddToBasketView

public String Username { get; set; }
/// <summary>

public String Password { get; set; }

/// The URl of the thing they want added to the site
/// </summary>
public String Url { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// The retailer product selected - from this I can get the retailer and the product.

public RetailerProductJson RetailerProductJson { get; set; }

I am serializinf it as it bacomes teh body of a message which i am using in SQS which i then use later.
Please let me know if you need any more information.
Thanks.

The service model binding is using wsHttpBinding with TransportMessageCredential...
All of this excellent stuff works in a dev environment. Transactions commit and roll back as expected. The user credentials allow and prevent the user from executing the codes and all in all everyone is happy happy happy.
The test environment is supposed to be an identical setup as the dev environment. However, when the proxy client invokes the service I get the following exception:
HandlingInstanceID: 44a7c5ae-17fc-4d14-b55e-1aa53bb156e0
An exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred and was caught.

Any ideas on why this would occur on one machine but not another? Why would I be getting an error that I am passing a non-serializable object when all objects are being passed are objects gnerated in the proxy client and are tagged with DataContract?

It looks like the exception is happening at the exception handler where you do: ex.Data.Add("result",criteria);, but I don't see in your data contracts (the ones you showed) where GroupCriteriaEntity is defined, is that one also serializable?
