Unable to insert using TableBatchOperation

I'm trying to insert some test values into an Azure table using storage connection string. When I tried to perform insert operation it showing error as cannot convert Entities.SyncJob to Microsoft.Azure.CosmosDB.Table.ITableEntity.
public async Task BackupJobsAsync(List<SyncJob> syncJobs)
{
var tableName = "Table";
var table = await GetCloudTableAsync("connectionString", tableName);
if (!await table.ExistsAsync())
{
await table.CreateIfNotExistsAsync();
}
var backupCount = 0;
var batchSize = 100;
var currentSize = 0;
var groups = syncJobs.GroupBy(x => x.PartitionKey).ToList();
foreach (var group in groups)
{
var batchOperation = new TableBatchOperation();
foreach (var job in group)
{
batchOperation.Insert(job);
if (++currentSize == batchSize)
{
var result = await table.ExecuteBatchAsync(batchOperation);
backupCount += result.Count(x => IsSuccessStatusCode(x.HttpStatusCode));
batchOperation = new TableBatchOperation();
currentSize = 0;
}
}
if (batchOperation.Any())
{
var result = await table.ExecuteBatchAsync(batchOperation);
backupCount += result.Count(x => IsSuccessStatusCode(x.HttpStatusCode));
}
}
}
SyncJob class:
namespace Entities
{
public class SyncJob : ITableEntity
{
public SyncJob()
{
}
public SyncJob(string partitionKey, string rowKey)
{
PartitionKey = partitionKey;
RowKey = rowKey;
}
public string PartitionKey { get; set; }
public string RowKey { get; set; }
public string ABC { get; set; }
public string DEF { get; set; }
public string GHI { get; set; }
public string JKL { get; set; }
}
}
Error Screenshot for reference. Can anyone let me know how can we overcome this? Have tried by casting the value, but the result is same.
UPDATE:
I just noticed that this is using a deprecated package nuget package Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos.Table. How do I update this code to use new package Azure.Data.Tables?

How to audit login in ASP.NET Core?

hello community I am implementing a system to audit the modifications that are made in my application carry out the process that is described in this article:
https://codewithmukesh.com/blog/audit-trail-implementation-in-aspnet-core/?unapproved=50671&moderation-hash=71700d12d4ebaf51ad9d90c4a9834324#comment-50671
but I don't know how to get the login of my application, to login I use web token and authentication provider.
any suggestion how to do it? I don't know if it can be done with serilog or something similar
this is my code:
public class Audit
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string UserId { get; set; }
public string Type { get; set; }
public string TableName { get; set; }
public DateTime DateTime { get; set; }

public string NewValues { get; set; }
public string AffectedColumns { get; set; }
public string PrimaryKey { get; set; }
}

{
None = 0,
Create = 1,
Update = 2,
Delete = 3
}

var audit = new Audit();
audit.UserId = UserId;
audit.Type = AuditType.ToString();
audit.TableName = TableName;
audit.DateTime = DateTime.Now;
audit.PrimaryKey = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(KeyValues);
audit.OldValues = OldValues.Count == 0 ? null : JsonConvert.SerializeObject(OldValues);
audit.NewValues = NewValues.Count == 0 ? null : JsonConvert.SerializeObject(NewValues);
audit.AffectedColumns = ChangedColumns.Count == 0 ? null : JsonConvert.SerializeObject(ChangedColumns);
return audit;

}

I use a custom Controller that inherits from the built-in Controller, and added a CurrentUserName property. The problem is that Controller.User is not yet initialized in the Controller constructor. I override Controller.OnActionExecuting(), where the User exists, and use that to set my custom property.
public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
{
var authenticatedUser = User;
if (authenticatedUser != null)
{
string userId = authenticatedUser.FindFirstValue(ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier);
if (userId != null)
{
_currentUserId = int.Parse(userId, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
string userName = authenticatedUser.FindFirstValue(ClaimTypes.Name);
_context.CurrentUserName = userName;
_userIsAdmin = authenticatedUser.IsInRole(ConferenceRoleTypes.WebAdmin);
}
}
base.OnActionExecuting(filterContext);
}

FormDialog display some specific fields from Model class Bot framework

I want to display a DialogForm in my RootDialog. I've tried to do it by doing like calling forms from dialogs. However, my problem here is I have a model class generated by Entity Framework which contains some fields about primary key (or Foreign key) that I don't want my client to enter input for it. So my question is how can I make a DialogForm that just ask my clients to enter the fields that I want to?
Here's my Model class:
[Serializable]
public partial class BOT_CUSTOMERINFO
{
public int CUSTOMER_ID { get; set; }
public Nullable<int> DOMAIN_ID { get; set; }
public string NAME { get; set; }
public string EMAIL { get; set; }
public string PHONE { get; set; }
public Nullable<int> RECORD_STATUS { get; set; }
public static IForm<BOT_CUSTOMERINFO> BuildForm()
{
return new FormBuilder<BOT_CUSTOMERINFO>()
.Message("Vui lòng cung cấp thông tin")
.Field(nameof(NAME))
.Field(nameof(EMAIL))
.Field(nameof(PHONE))
.Field(new FieldReflector<BOT_CUSTOMERINFO>(nameof(CUSTOMER_ID)).SetActive((state) => false))
.Build();
}
}
And hence what I've used to call FormDialog:
private BuildFormDelegate<Models.FormDialog_Models.CustomerInfoFormModel> MakeCustomerInfoForm;
internal void CustomerInfoDialog(BuildFormDelegate<Models.BOT_CUSTOMERINFO> makeCustomerInfoForm)
{
this.MakeCustomerInfoForm = makeCustomerInfoForm;
}
public async Task ResumeAfterChooseQuestion(IDialogContext context, IAwaitable<BOT_QUESTION> result)
{
var value = await result;
if(value != null)
{
BotDBEntities DbContext = new BotDBEntities();
if(DbContext.BOT_ANSWER.Any(answer => answer.QUESTION_ID == value.QUESTION_ID))
{
List<BOT_ANSWER> ListAnswer = DbContext.BOT_ANSWER.Where(answer => answer.QUESTION_ID == value.QUESTION_ID).ToList();
await ShowListAnswer(context, ListAnswer);
//PromptDialog.Choice(context, this.ResumeAfterChooseAnswer,ListAnswer, "Click để chọn:", "Không hợp lệ", 3, PromptStyle.Auto);
}
if(DbContext.BOT_QUESTION.Any(question => question.PREVQUESTION_ID == value.QUESTION_ID))
{
List<BOT_QUESTION> ListQuestion = DbContext.BOT_QUESTION.Where(question => question.PREVQUESTION_ID == value.QUESTION_ID).ToList();
await this.ShowListQuestion(context, ListQuestion);
}
if(value.QUESTION_TYPE.Value == 1)
{
var customerInfoForm = new FormDialog<Models.BOT_CUSTOMERINFO>(new Models.BOT_CUSTOMERINFO(), MakeCustomerInfoForm, FormOptions.PromptInStart);
context.Call(customerInfoForm, CustomerInfoFormCompleted);
// var customerInfoForm = new FormDialog<Models.FormDialog_Models.CustomerInfoFormModel>(new Models.FormDialog_Models.CustomerInfoFormModel(),MakeCustomerInfoForm, FormOptions.PromptInStart);
// context.Forward(customerInfoForm, CustomerInfoFormCompleted);
// context.Call(customerInfoForm, CustomerInfoFormCompleted);
//context.Call<Idia<BOT_CUSTOMERINFO>>(BOT_CUSTOMERINFO.BuildForm(), CustomerInfoFormCompleted);
}
}
else
{
context.Wait(this.MessageReceiveAsync);
}
}

In the declaration of your FormBuilder<BOT_CUSTOMERINFO> you can deactivate those fields, using the Advanced.Field.SetActive.
new FormBuilder<BOT_CUSTOMERINFO>
.Field(new FieldReflector<BOT_CUSTOMERINFO>(nameof(CUSTOMER_ID))
.SetActive((state) => false);

How do I create and insert one-to-many object with entity framework c#

I'm trying to create an object and insert to the database but keep getting the same error no matter what I try.
The row that I get the error on is ColumnGroupTest.ValidValues.Add(memberComment1); the error is
error message
NullReferenceException was unhandled by user code
my models
public class StoreColumnName
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string StoreColumnGroupName { get; set; }
public string ColumnName { get; set; }
public string ColumnType { get; set; }
public List<StoreValidValue> ValidValues { get; set; }
}
public class StoreValidValue
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string ValidValue { get; set; }
public StoreColumnName StoreColumnName { get; set; }
}
my controller
public ActionResult Index()
{
XDocument document = XDocument.Load(#"C:\Users\Physical.xml");
var result = document.Descendants("ColumnGroup");
foreach(var item in result){
var ColumnGroupName = item.Attribute("name").Value;
var Columns = item.Descendants("Column");
foreach (var itemColumn in Columns)
{
StoreColumnName ColumnGroup = new StoreColumnName();
var ColumnGroupTest = new StoreColumnName
{
StoreColumnGroupName = ColumnGroupName,
ColumnName = itemColumn.Attribute("name").Value,
ColumnType = itemColumn.Attribute("type").Value,
Id = 11
};
var ValidValues = itemColumn.Descendants("ValidValues");
var Values = ValidValues.Descendants("Value");
foreach (var Value in Values)
{
var memberComment1 = new StoreValidValue
{
StoreColumnName = ColumnGroupTest,
ValidValue = Value.Value,
Id = 101
};
ColumnGroupTest.ValidValues.Add(memberComment1);
}
}
}
return View();
}
(I gladly take tips on what I can improve when asking for help/guiding here).
Can anyone help ?

The issue that you're having is that you don't initialize your ValidValues property to a list. By default, those types of properties initialize to null unless you specify differently.
The best approach is to add that initialization to your constructor of that object.
public StoreColumnName() {
this.ValidValues = new List<StoreValidValue>();
}

Entity framework, can I map a class to a key/value table?

In my Database, I have a key/value table, which I use to store the configuration of the application. Some example settings of the StoreConfiguration class, that I want to map to this key/value table.
public class StoreConfiguration
{
//.... more settings
public int DefaultPartnerID { get; set; }
public int DefaultOperatorID { get; set; }
public string DefaultCurrency { get; set; }
public int DefaultCurrencyID { get; set; }
//.... more settings
I would like to have those in my DataBase as this for example
Key | Value
--------------------------
DefaultpartnerID | 1
DefaultOperatorID | 10
DefaultCurrency | USD
DefaultCurrencyID | 2
Is it possible to create such type of mapping with EntityFramework ?

You might want to use a simple entity that contains Key and Value property.
public class StoreConfiguration
{
[Key]
public string Key { get; set; }
public string Value { get; set; }
}
Then provide an extension to add and remove the store configuration.
public static class StoreConfigurationExtension
{
public static T GetStoreConfiguration<T>(this DbContext db, string key)
{
var sc = db.Set<StoreConfiguration>().Find(key);
if (sc == null) return default(T);
var value = sc.Value;
var tc = TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(typeof(T));
try
{
var convertedValue = (T)tc.ConvertFromString(value);
return convertedValue;
}
catch (NotSupportedException)
{
return default(T);
}
}
public static void SetStoreConfiguration(this DbContext db, string key, object value)
{
var sc = db.Set<StoreConfiguration>().Find(key);
if (sc == null)
{
sc = new StoreConfiguration { Key = key };
db.Set<StoreConfiguration>().Add(sc);
}
sc.Value = value == null ? null : value.ToString();
}
}
Usage.
using (var db = new AppContext())
{
db.SetStoreConfiguration("DefaultpartnerID", 1);
db.SaveChanges();
}
using (var db = new AppContext())
{
var defaultpartnerID = db.GetStoreConfiguration<int>("DefaultpartnerID");
db.SaveChanges();
}

No, entity framework is not meant for this. But you still can use reflection to load data into this class.
var entities = ...;
var o = new StoreConfiguration();
foreach(var p in typeof(StoreConfiguration).GetProperties())
{
var entity = entities.FirstOrDefault(e=>e.Key == p.Name);
if (entity == null) continue;
var converter = TypeDescriptor.GetConvertor(p.Type);
p.SetValue(o, converter.ConvertFromString(entity.Value));
}
