how to use Utils.FormIsOpen in c#

I need help using Utils in C#.
private void manageUsersToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!Utils.FormIsOpen("ManageUsers"))// this line gives an error
{
var manageUsers = new ManageUsers();
manageUsers.MdiParent = this;
manageUsers.Show();
}
}
I am using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 18 along with visual studio and I am trying to manage my users in the database while not physically adding them to the database but adding them at runtime.

It seems that there is no FormIsOpen method in Utils Class.
If you want to check if a "ManageUsers" has been opened, you can call Form.MdiChildren Property to get all mdichildforms and filter them.
// get all child form
Form[] children = this.MdiChildren;
var query = children.Select(c => c)
.Where(c => c is ManageUsers).ToList();
if(query.Count == 0)
{
var manageUsers = new ManageUsers();
manageUsers.MdiParent = this;
manageUsers.Show();
}

Google AdWords library doesn't create an access token

I'm trying to make a targetingIdeaService API call to Google AdWords. This is my code so far:
[HttpGet]
public IEnumerable<string> Get()
{
var user = new AdWordsUser();
using (TargetingIdeaService targetingIdeaService = (TargetingIdeaService)user.GetService(AdWordsService.v201802.TargetingIdeaService))
{
// Create selector.
TargetingIdeaSelector selector = new TargetingIdeaSelector();
selector.requestType = RequestType.IDEAS;
selector.ideaType = IdeaType.KEYWORD;
selector.requestedAttributeTypes = new AttributeType[] {
AttributeType.KEYWORD_TEXT,
AttributeType.SEARCH_VOLUME,
AttributeType.AVERAGE_CPC,
AttributeType.COMPETITION,
AttributeType.CATEGORY_PRODUCTS_AND_SERVICES
};
// Set selector paging (required for targeting idea service).
var paging = Paging.Default;
// Create related to query search parameter.
var relatedToQuerySearchParameter =
new RelatedToQuerySearchParameter
{ queries = new String[] { "bakery", "pastries", "birthday cake" } };
var searchParameters = new List<SearchParameter> { relatedToQuerySearchParameter };
var page = new TargetingIdeaPage();
page = targetingIdeaService.get(selector);
return new string[] { "value1", "value2" };
}
}
it looks ok, compiles at last, and so on. But then I went into debug mode. And I saw this:
So as you can see, the variable doesn't have the access token. The other data comes from app.config file.
I am quite certain the keys passed in are correct.
Then the code throws the famous invalid_grand error. In my case, I believe that's because the access token is not being generated. I'm new to AdWords and ASP.NET, so I probably missed something, but I have no idea what.
I used the
docs,
Code Structure instructions, and
code examples to put it all together.

I had my configuration wrong. I had to recreate all the credentials using incognito window. If you have any issues just open a thread here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/adwords-api

Retrieving SQL Generated by Entity Framework Core

I'm trying to retrieve the raw SQL generated by Entity Framework for the following LINQ query:
pagedItemResults = from firstItem in dbData.Accession
join secondItem in pagedRowNumberResults
on firstItem.AccessionNumber equals secondItem
select new PaginationResultRow
{
Number = firstItem.AccessionNumber,
ID = firstItem.AccessionId,
Name = firstItem.AcquisitionType.Name,
Description = firstItem.Description
};
Although it may be extremely simple and similar to the other answers already out there for previous versions of EF, I've had no luck and found nothing online.. any ideas??

You can turn on logging by implementing ILoggerProvider. See details in documentation.
You only need to register the logger with a single context instance. Once you have registered it, it will be used for all other instances of the context in the same AppDomain.
using (var db = new BloggingContext())
{
var serviceProvider = db.GetInfrastructure<IServiceProvider>();
var loggerFactory = serviceProvider.GetService<ILoggerFactory>();
loggerFactory.AddProvider(new MyLoggerProvider());
}
You can also define categories what you want to log.
private static string[] _categories =
{
typeof(Microsoft.Data.Entity.Storage.Internal.RelationalCommandBuilderFactory).FullName,
typeof(Microsoft.Data.Entity.Storage.Internal.SqlServerConnection).FullName
};

You can log tsql generated to output window by :
Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Debug
First, get it from Nuget, then in your context, you must define a LoggerFactory.
After that, use it in OnConfiguring in your context.
public static readonly Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.LoggerFactory _loggerFactory =
new LoggerFactory(new[] {
new Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Debug.DebugLoggerProvider()
});
optionsBuilder.UseLoggerFactory(_loggerFactory);

I really like MiniProfiler, see http://miniprofiler.com/. Short of something like this, I would say you'd have to use a profiler on the actual database.

Access TFS Team Query from Client Object API

Is there a way to run a shared team query, by name, through the TFS 2013 client object API
I'm working on a C# script that will do some work based off of the results of a shared team query. I don't want to have to maintain the query in the TFS UI as well as in my script; I'd prefer to just run the registered query that my team uses, but then just play with the results. When I write "registered query" I'm just referring to a query that I wrote in the TFS UI and saved as a shared query.
In other words: I'd like to use the TFS UI to create a query, save the file in my "shared queries" list, call it "foo", then access foo from the client object API in my script.
I see that there is a GetQueryDefinition(GUID) method off of WorkItemStore, but where would I get the GUID for a shared team query?

Sample code that should do what you need
///Handles nested query folders
private static Guid FindQuery(QueryFolder folder, string queryName)
{
foreach (var item in folder)
{
if (item.Name.Equals(queryName, StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase))
{
return item.Id;
}
var itemFolder = item as QueryFolder;
if (itemFolder != null)
{
var result = FindQuery(itemFolder, queryName);
if (!result.Equals(Guid.Empty))
{
return result;
}
}
}
return Guid.Empty;
}
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var collectionUri = new Uri("http://TFS/tfs/DefaultCollection");
var server = new TfsTeamProjectCollection(collectionUri);
var workItemStore = server.GetService<WorkItemStore>();
var teamProject = workItemStore.Projects["TeamProjectName"];
var x = teamProject.QueryHierarchy;
var queryId = FindQuery(x, "QueryNameHere");
var queryDefinition = workItemStore.GetQueryDefinition(queryId);
var variables = new Dictionary<string, string>() {{"project", "TeamProjectName"}};
var result = workItemStore.Query(queryDefinition.QueryText,variables);
}

How to read an SQL query generated by Dapper?

I have a standard code:
public IEnumerable ExperimentSelect(object parameters)
{
using (var connection = new SqlConnection(ConnectionString))
{
connection.Open();
var dynamicparam = new DynamicParameters(parameters);
var rows = connection.Query("[dbo].[ptbSapOrderSelect]", dynamicparam,
commandType: CommandType.StoredProcedure);
if (rows.Any())
TotalRows = ((long)rows.ToList()[0].TotalRows);
return rows;
}
}
How to automate saving queries generated by Dapper to the file using eg NLog? I am thinking of getting source of SQL query as shown in the SQL Server Profiler.

I managed to make this work in an ASP.Net MVC app using MiniProfiler.
First, configure MiniProfiler as per the docs. Make sure that you are wrapping your SqlConnection inside a ProfiledDbConnection.
Note that you don't need to enable the visual widget for this to work, just ensure that a profile is started before, and ended after, each request.
Next, in global.asax.cs where the profile for that request is stopped, amend it as follows:
protected void Application_EndRequest()
{
// not production code!
MiniProfiler.Stop();
var logger = NLog.LogManager.GetCurrentClassLogger();
var instance = MiniProfiler.Current;
if (instance == null) return;
var t = instance.GetSqlTimings();
foreach (var sqlTiming in t)
{
logger.Debug(sqlTiming.CommandString);
}
}
This literally dumps the SQL command executed, but there is a lot more information included in the model if you want to report more advanced information.
