Loading XML document loads the same group twice

Some classes to start, I'm writing them all so you can reproduce my problem:
public class PermissionObject
{
public string permissionName;
public string permissionObject;
public bool permissionGranted;
public PermissionObject()
{
permissionName = "";
permissionObject = "";
permissionGranted = true;
}
public PermissionObject(string name, string obj, bool granted)
{
permissionName = name;
permissionObject = obj;
permissionGranted = granted;
}
}
public class Config
{
public string cmsDataPath = "";
public string cmsIP = "";
public List<UserClass> usersCMS = new List<UserClass>();
static public string pathToConfig = #"E:\testconpcms.xml";
public string cardServerAddress = "";
public void Save()
{
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Config));
using (Stream fileStream = new FileStream(pathToConfig, FileMode.Create))
{
serializer.Serialize(fileStream, this);
}
}
public static Config Load()
{
if (File.Exists(pathToConfig))
{
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Config));
try
{
using (Stream fileStream = new FileStream(pathToConfig, FileMode.Open))
{
return (Config)serializer.Deserialize(fileStream);
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
return new Config();
}
}
else
{
return null;
}
}
}
public class UserClass
{
public string Name;
public string Login;
public string Password;
public PCMS2 PermissionsList; // OR new PCMS1, as I will explain in a bit
public UserClass()
{
this.Name = "Admin";
this.Login = "61-64-6D-69-6E";
this.Password = "61-64-6D-69-6E";
this.PermissionsList = new PCMS2(); // OR new PCMS1, as I will explain in a bit
}
}
The problematic bit: consider two implementations of PCMS class, PCMS1 and PCMS2:
public class PCMS1
{
public PermissionObject p1, p2;
public PCMS1()
{
p1 = new PermissionObject("ImportConfigCMS", "tsmiImportCMSConfigFile", true);
p2 = new PermissionObject("ExportConfigCMS", "tsmiExportCMSConfigFile", true);
}
}
public class PCMS2
{
public List<PermissionObject> listOfPermissions = new List<PermissionObject>();
public PCMS2()
{
listOfPermissions.Add(new PermissionObject("ImportConfigCMS", "tsmiImportCMSConfigFile", true));
listOfPermissions.Add(new PermissionObject("ExportConfigCMS", "tsmiExportCMSConfigFile", true));
}
}
And finally main class:
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
private Config Con;
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Con = Config.Load();
if (Con == null)
{
Con = new Config();
Con.cmsDataPath = #"E:\testconpcms.xml";
Con.Save();
}
if (Con.usersCMS.Count == 0)
{
UserClass adminDefault = new UserClass();
Con.usersCMS.Add(adminDefault);
Con.Save();
}
}
}
Now, using either PCMS1 or PCMS2, the config file generates properly - one user with 2 permissions.
However, when config file is present, calling Con = Config.Load() in the main class gives different results.
Using PCMS1, the Con object is as expected - 1 user with 2 permissions.
However, using PCMS2, the Con object is 1 user with 4 (four) permissions. It doubles that field (it's basically p1, p2, p1, p2). Put a BP to see Con after Load().
I guess the list (PCMS2) implementation is doing something wonky during load which I'm not aware of, but I can't seem to find the issue.

You creates your permission objects in constructor of PMCS2 you do it in the constructor of PMCS1 too, but there you do have two properties that will be overwritten by serializer.
In case of of PMCS2 your constructor adds two items to List and than serializer adds the items it has deserilized to the same list.
I don't know exactly your usecase but i would suggest to move init of the permissions to separated method:
public class PCMS1
{
public PermissionObject p1, p2;
public void Init()
{
p1 = new PermissionObject("ImportConfigCMS", "tsmiImportCMSConfigFile", true);
p2 = new PermissionObject("ExportConfigCMS", "tsmiExportCMSConfigFile", true);
}
}
public class PCMS2
{
public List<PermissionObject> listOfPermissions = new List<PermissionObject>();
public void Init()
{
listOfPermissions.Add(new PermissionObject("ImportConfigCMS", "tsmiImportCMSConfigFile", true));
listOfPermissions.Add(new PermissionObject("ExportConfigCMS", "tsmiExportCMSConfigFile", true));
}
}
after that you could call it, if you want to get initial settings:
if (Con.usersCMS.Count == 0)
{
UserClass adminDefault = new UserClass();
adminDefault.PermissionsList.Init();
Con.usersCMS.Add(adminDefault);
Con.Save();
}

Use Rhino Mock to report the function that was called

I have a failing testcase that depends on an external module.
I want to use Rhino Mock to generate a report on called functions.
I created a minimal example that illustrates my problem:
using NUnit.Framework;
using Rhino.Mocks;
using System;
namespace StackOverflow_namespace
{
public interface IUsefulService
{
object HiddenAmongManyCalls();
}
public class ThirdPartyBase
{
private int a = 42;
public ThirdPartyBase(IUsefulService service)
{
object liveFastDieYoung = service.HiddenAmongManyCalls();
liveFastDieYoung.Equals(a);
}
}
public class MyParty : ThirdPartyBase
{
public MyParty(IUsefulService service) : base(service)
{
}
}
[TestFixture]
class StackOverflow
{
[Test]
public void Hypothetical()
{
IUsefulService service = MockRepository.GenerateMock<IUsefulService>();
try
{
var party = new MyParty(service);
}
catch(Exception e)
{
string[] calls = MagicallyGetTheCallsThatWereMadeToTheMock();
foreach(var call in calls)
{
//with my visual studio testrunner for nunit 3 I can investigate stored console output
Console.WriteLine(call);
}
Assert.Fail("Excpexted no exception but was '" + e.GetType().Name + "': " + e.Message);
}
}
private string[] MagicallyGetTheCallsThatWereMadeToTheMock()
{
return new[]
{
"This is where I am lost, I do not know how to get the calls from the repository."
};
}
}
}
I tried to find something online without success.
Do Rhino Mocks record all calls and can I access that list?
Edit:
An attempt to verify Expectations did not work since I am looking for calls I did not expect.
I could build a list of calls using GetArgumentsForCallsMadeOn. I can reflect on the Interface. I started on a method for that but I currently fail to see how I can convert a MethodInfo to an Action<T>.
private IEnumerable<string> GetCallsList<Interface>(Interface rhinomock)
{
Type interfaceType = typeof(Interface);
List<MethodInfo> interfaceMethodInfos = new List<MethodInfo>();
List<string> returnInfos = new List<string>();
StringBuilder callbuilder = new StringBuilder();
foreach (var property in interfaceType.GetProperties())
{
interfaceMethodInfos.Add(property.GetGetMethod());
interfaceMethodInfos.Add(property.GetSetMethod());
}
foreach (var method in interfaceType.GetMethods())
{
interfaceMethodInfos.Add(method);
}
foreach (var methodinfo in interfaceMethodInfos)
{
Action<Interface> magic = null; //convert methodinfo into action - still missing
var calls = rhinomock.GetArgumentsForCallsMadeOn(magic); //magic is currently null, here be crash
foreach (var call in calls)
{
bool more = false;
callbuilder.Clear().Append(interfaceType.Name).Append('.').Append(methodinfo.Name).Append('(');
foreach (var parameter in call)
{
if (more){ callbuilder.Append(", "); }
if (null == parameter) { callbuilder.Append("<null>"); }
else { callbuilder.Append(parameter.ToString()); }
more = true;
}
callbuilder.Append(')');
string callInfo = callbuilder.ToString();
returnInfos.Add(callInfo);
}
}
return returnInfos;
}

I was able to use reflection to get the output I wanted.
Here is the minimal example where the test fails and the output contains all method calls.
using NUnit.Framework;
using Rhino.Mocks;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Reflection;

}
public class ThirdPartyBase
{
private int a = 42;
public ThirdPartyBase(IUsefulService service)
{
service.TestCall2("callA", 1);
service.TestCall2("callB", 1);
object liveFastDieYoung = service.HiddenAmongManyCalls();
service.TestCall2("callA", 2);
service.TestCall2("callB", 2);
var a = service.FULLACCESS;
var b = service.READONLY;
service.FULLACCESS = "some";
liveFastDieYoung.Equals(a);
}
}

Xamarin Android: Save Facebook Access Token in strings.xml

I've searched on google on how to dynamically edit the Resources.Values.strings.xml file so I can add my Facebook Access Token so the user won't need to log in again when he reuses the app.
Is it possible to edit it, or do I have to use another method to store the token?

I think the best place would be to save this to the KeyStore. To do this you must use the DependencyService More Info here
The interface and implementation would then be:
PCL interface
public interface IAuth
{
void CreateStore();
IEnumerable<string> FindAccountsForService(string serviceId);
void Save(string pin,string serviceId);
void Delete(string serviceId);
}
Android
public class IAuthImplementation : IAuth
{
Context context;
KeyStore ks;
KeyStore.PasswordProtection prot;
static readonly object fileLock = new object();
const string FileName = "MyProg.Accounts";
static readonly char[] Password = null;
public void CreateStore()
{
this.context = Android.App.Application.Context;
ks = KeyStore.GetInstance(KeyStore.DefaultType);
prot = new KeyStore.PasswordProtection(Password);
try
{
lock (fileLock)
{
using (var s = context.OpenFileInput(FileName))
{
ks.Load(s, Password);
}
}
}
catch (Java.IO.FileNotFoundException)
{
//ks.Load (null, Password);
LoadEmptyKeyStore(Password);
}
}
public IEnumerable<string> FindAccountsForService(string serviceId)
{
var r = new List<string>();
var postfix = "-" + serviceId;
var aliases = ks.Aliases();
while (aliases.HasMoreElements)
{
var alias = aliases.NextElement().ToString();
if (alias.EndsWith(postfix))
{
var e = ks.GetEntry(alias, prot) as KeyStore.SecretKeyEntry;
if (e != null)
{
var bytes = e.SecretKey.GetEncoded();
var password = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(bytes);
r.Add(password);
}
}
}
return r;
}
public void Delete(string serviceId)
{
var alias = MakeAlias(serviceId);
ks.DeleteEntry(alias);
Save();
}
public void Save(string pin, string serviceId)
{
var alias = MakeAlias(serviceId);
var secretKey = new SecretAccount(pin);
var entry = new KeyStore.SecretKeyEntry(secretKey);
ks.SetEntry(alias, entry, prot);
Save();
}
void Save()
{
lock (fileLock)
{
using (var s = context.OpenFileOutput(FileName, FileCreationMode.Private))
{
ks.Store(s, Password);
}
}
}
static string MakeAlias(string serviceId)
{
return "-" + serviceId;
}
class SecretAccount : Java.Lang.Object, ISecretKey
{
byte[] bytes;
public SecretAccount(string password)
{
bytes = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(password);
}
public byte[] GetEncoded()
{
return bytes;
}
public string Algorithm
{
get
{
return "RAW";
}
}
public string Format
{
get
{
return "RAW";
}
}
}
static IntPtr id_load_Ljava_io_InputStream_arrayC;
void LoadEmptyKeyStore(char[] password)
{
if (id_load_Ljava_io_InputStream_arrayC == IntPtr.Zero)
{
id_load_Ljava_io_InputStream_arrayC = JNIEnv.GetMethodID(ks.Class.Handle, "load", "(Ljava/io/InputStream;[C)V");
}
IntPtr intPtr = IntPtr.Zero;
IntPtr intPtr2 = JNIEnv.NewArray(password);
JNIEnv.CallVoidMethod(ks.Handle, id_load_Ljava_io_InputStream_arrayC, new JValue[]
{
new JValue (intPtr),
new JValue (intPtr2)
});
JNIEnv.DeleteLocalRef(intPtr);
if (password != null)
{
JNIEnv.CopyArray(intPtr2, password);
JNIEnv.DeleteLocalRef(intPtr2);
}
}
Call Create Store in the main activity of Android app first. - This could possibly be improved and remove CreateStrore() from the interface by checking if ks == null in Save and Delete and calling the method if true
This would then save the access token to the KeyStore that you can then retrieve later

Why does this code throw an automapping exception?

Lync API: How to send instant message to contact by email address?

I have the email address of a Lync user and want to send him an instant message.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Microsoft.Lync.Model;
using Microsoft.Lync.Model.Conversation;
namespace Build_Server_Lync_Notifier
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
if (args.Length != 2)
{
Console.WriteLine("Usage: bsln.exe <uri> <message>");
return;
}
LyncClient client = Microsoft.Lync.Model.LyncClient.GetClient();
Contact contact = client.ContactManager.GetContactByUri(args[0]);
Conversation conversation = client.ConversationManager.AddConversation();
conversation.AddParticipant(contact);
Dictionary<InstantMessageContentType, String> messages = new Dictionary<InstantMessageContentType, String>();
messages.Add(InstantMessageContentType.PlainText, args[1]);
InstantMessageModality m = (InstantMessageModality) conversation.Modalities[ModalityTypes.InstantMessage];
m.BeginSendMessage(messages, null, messages);
//Console.Read();
}
}
}
Screenshot
Link to large screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/LMHEF.png
As you can see in this screenshot, my program doesn't really seem to work, even though I'm able to manually search up the contact and send an instant message manually.
I also tried using ContactManager.BeginSearch() instead of ContactManager.GetContactByUri(), but got the same result (you can see in the screenshot): http://pastie.org/private/o9joyzvux4mkhzsjw1pioa

Ok, so I got it working now. Got it in a working state, although I need to do some serious refactoring.

InstantMessageModality m = (InstantMessageModality)_conversation.Modalities[ModalityTypes.InstantMessage];
m.BeginSendMessage(messages, BeginSendMessageCallback, messages);
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("More than one result.");
}
}
catch (SearchException se)
{
Console.WriteLine("Search failed: " + se.Reason.ToString());
}
_client.ContactManager.EndSearch(r);
}
private void BeginSendMessageCallback(IAsyncResult r)
{
_conversation.End();
_done = true;
}
}
}

Try Below Code its working Fine For me
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SendLyncMessage();
}
private static void SendLyncMessage()
{
string[] targetContactUris = {"sip:xxxx#domain.com"};
LyncClient client = LyncClient.GetClient();
Conversation conv = client.ConversationManager.AddConversation();
foreach (string target in targetContactUris)
{
conv.AddParticipant(client.ContactManager.GetContactByUri(target));
}
InstantMessageModality m = conv.Modalities[ModalityTypes.InstantMessage] as InstantMessageModality;
m.BeginSendMessage("Test Message", null, null);
}
