NUGet error
 
I just used your solution copier tool (do eeet!) to get a working start on a jcdchelper project.  Now I’m trying to redo the nuget packages, but package manager console is giving me


Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow.


Current Theory - You typed the Path with the wrong case when you had the tool rename the project, OR the tool itself renamed the project. so JCDC Heleper Becase JcdcHelper or something similar causeing the paths to be internally inconsistant in the project.


First attempt: edit the nuget.config file to fix teh capitalization error.

Second Attempt:
1 Delete all teh packages.config files, copy from a working project and modify by hand.

retest.


3rd attempt

if no joy, Manually remove all nuget stuff from all projects (ncludeing refereces) and rebuild it by hand. this worked for Jeffery

Post build events in projects to copy CVs to main Bin folder



Here are examples of post build eventst hat we used to use to copy the output of one project into the binfolder of antoher... now we ususally use references correctly.





copy /y "$(TargetDir)$(TargetFileName)" "$(SolutionDir)\JCDCADServices\JCDCADServices.ADStudent\bin\$(TargetFileName)"

copy /y "$(TargetDir)$(TargetFileName)" "$(SolutionDir)\JCDCADServices\JCDCADServices.ADStaff\bin\$(TargetFileName)"

NHibernate.NonUniqueObjectException inserting a unique class , but it says it's already in the session

Okay,

So I'm inserting new records, Retreived by ADO and inserting with Nhibernate, cause that's how it done here at JCDC. I'm getting NHibernate.NonUniqueObjectException for no discernible reason.





Well, there is a reason. Nhibernate has lots of weird rules about the map it uses to keep track of changes to the state before .commit is called. When you're updating with objects not retrieved by NHibernate, sometimes it gets squirrely. Wish I had better details but there it is, look at the link above and follow the link there to Aiendes explanation for more details (not better really just more).

But here is how I fixed it, I got ahold of the NH session object and merged the object i'm inserting before I inserted it, and voilia, it stopped throwing an exception.





public void InsertDedHist( DedHistCV userInput )
{

 if( IdList.Contains( userInput ) )
 {

     throw new Exception("BUG FOUND!!!!");
 }

 else 
 { 
     IdList.Add( userInput ); 
  }
 

 try 
 { 
     Trace.WriteLine("");
     DedHistEO temp = new DedHistEO();
     temp.InjectFrom( userInput );
     DedHistEO mergedEo = (DedHistEO)JcdcDb.GetSession().Merge( temp );
     DedHistEO userInput2 = JcdcDb.Insert<DedHistEO>( mergedEo );
 }

 catch ( Exception ex )
 {

  throw;
 }
}

Memory leak in creating RLDC Reports in .Net 4.0

There is a huge memory leak in Microsofts LocalReport implementation in .Net 4.0

The work around to make it a small memory leak is here,
and in the comments is how to make it go away...


Though I'll warn you it's a pain.

Are you having a memory leak because of Strucutre map?

So here's the situation....


(My parents went away for a weeks vacation...(Soory, can't help myself, child of the 80s...))



Running a winforms app using a Library that has structure map all through it, and it uses ObjectFactory directly instead of IContainer....


So we get memory leaks that we can't get rid of as Structure map is hanging on to instances of the objects so they can't be garbage collected...



Here's the quick hack to fix in,



Since what I'm doing is in a loop, at the bottom of the loop construct I just type:



// strucutre map memory leak hack, works okay i guess, it's slower as expected - EWB
ObjectFactory.ResetDefaults();



and it flushes all the objects out of Structure map...

Of course it's slower because all the objects get re init-ed in each loop, but the memory
got tons better...

Also note that in an upcoming release,



ObjectFactory.ResetDefaults();



will get changed to



ObjectFactory.Reset();

The parameter of type 61 did not have a valid value

The parameter of type 61 did not have a valid value

This is an error from the Sybade Database.

It means that a variable of type 61 (Date) does not have a valid value.

This is ususally caused by your Date time not being Nullable in your EO or you CV and because
Microsoft and Sybase have different Epochs, or Minimum Dates values.

Microsofts EPOCH for a DateTime is: 00:00:00.0000000, January 1, 0001
and Sybases depends on the exat type in your DB see the chart here:
http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.sybase.infocenter.dc35400.1550/html/osref/osref281.htm

But in essence here is what happens.

In the DB the Date is null,
In your EO the dateTime is not nullable
Net converts the null to DateTime.Min (01/01/01)
during an update this value is smaller than the allowed (for us ususally 01/01/1900)

Best fix, it to change the Datetimes in your EO & CV toall  be nullable, OR to use a CV that does not contain any of the date fields for updating, and let JCDCHelper deal with it..

See here for the codes of all Sybase datatypes : http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.sybase.help.ase_15.0.tables/html/tables/tables69.htm
