Microsoft Azure Discovery Day in Melbourne- Indeed a good show

I urge folks out there in Australia to leverage this wonderful opportunity to gather know and how about Azure. Too many things to catch up. Very fast pace of improvement, new services , new products Microsoft Azure is offering on the table so far in terms of PAAS, IAAS and SAAS. Having said that I attended Microsoft Azure Discovery Day in Melbourne on 21st Nov 2017. I liked the presentation , demo and short knowledge transitioned by presenter. I must say there is many thing happening in Azure space.

Continuous Delivery as part of App Service
Logic App
Azure Function

Sitecore Dynamic Placeholder

I prefer

TDS
TDS with glass mapper template[Auto code generation for sitecore template model]
Fortis Dynamic Placeholder Nuget
Sitecore 8.2.1
MVC 5
.Net framework 4.5.2

The difficult part of sitecore is setup stage to start your development.

Install MVC Sitecore 8.2.1

https://doc.sitecore.net/sitecore_experience_platform/developing/developing_with_sitecore/set_up_sitecore_and_visual_studio_for_development

Sitecore solution base nuget package can be found in above documentation. Follow step by step instruction.

Install Glass mapper

Install Dynamic Placeholder Nuget

Install TDS

Use wizard to create master content tree sync solution

Glass Mapper @editable View Rendering

https://www.akshaysura.com/2016/06/10/tihidi-implement-a-simple-view-rendering-in-sitecore-mvc-and-glass/

To create this sample. I have created two component in MVC and then corresponding renderings in sitecore.

	View as Component	Placeholder	Sitecore Renderings
1	MainLayoutPage.cshtml <html> <body> <div class="container"> @Html.Sitecore().DynamicPlaceholder("dynamic-row") </div> </body> </html>	dynamic-row
2	OneRowThreeColumn.cshtml <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-4"> <div class="tile--bordered"> @Html.Sitecore().DynamicPlaceholder("dynamic-content") </div> </div> <div class="col-sm-4"> <div class="tile--bordered"> @Html.Sitecore().DynamicPlaceholder("dynamic-content") </div> </div> <div class="col-sm-4"> <div class="tile--bordered"> @Html.Sitecore().DynamicPlaceholder("dynamic-content") </div> </div> </div>	dynamic-row	One Row Three Column
3	RichText.cshtml @inherits Glass.Mapper.Sc.Web.Mvc.GlassViewISingleRichText> <p class="tile__title">@Editable(Model, y=>y.Title)</p> <p class="tile__sub-title"> @if (Model != null) { @Editable(Model, y => y.Detail) } </p>	dynamic-content	***Rich Text with Model(Template- Data Template SingleRichText)

Create following items in sitecore:

C# Linq ,Generics, Lamda expression and many more.

Introduction

I'll keep this space updating my most used c# stuff in here. This is work in progress to have list of all referenced code that is useful at times of implementation.

Linq Data Parallelism

var quotes =quotesForAllProducts();//e.g Get quotes for all products

Parallel.ForEach(products, item => Process(item,quotes));

private void Process(Product item,List<Quote> quotes)

      {

          var quote= quotes?.SingleOrDefault

                  (p =>

                      p.Id.Trim().Equals(item.Id ?? string.Empty));

          if (quote != null)

          {

              item.Cost
= quote.TotalAmount.GetValueOrDefault();

              item.Code = quote.Code;

          }          

      }

System.Linq.ParallelEnumerable

Set object values for superset.

Packages = poducts.AsParallel().Select(p => new Package

                {

                    tId = p.tId,

                    vId = p.vId

                }).ToList(),

SelectMany

private void SetProductsSubSet(IList<Product> products)

    {

        _products= (IEnumerable<ProductDetail>) products?.AsParallel().SelectMany(a => a.subLevel.Select(p => new ProductDetail

        {

            Id = a.Id,

            Type = a.Type,

        })) ?? new List<ProductDetail>();

    }

Left Join DefaultIfEmpty()

public List<Product> AddHospitalAndExtrasProduct()

       {

           return

               (from A in Main

               join B in SubB on A.ID equals B?.Id into MainAndSubB

                   from ResultSetA in MainAndSubB.DefaultIfEmpty()

               join B in SubC on A.ID equals C?.Id into MainAndSubC

                   from ResultSetC in MainAndSubC.DefaultIfEmpty()

            select new Product

            {

                Id = Main.Id,

                Name = Main.Name,

                SubBId = ResultSetA
!= null ? ResultSetA
.SubBId : string.Empty,

                SubCId = ResultSetC
!= null ? ResultSetC
.SubCId : string.Empty,

            }).ToList();          

       }

Use case IEquatable and Object.Equal

Introduction

One can use IEquatable for comparing two object values. This is useful when we have to check any duplicate enteries. Let me know if you have any better solution to implement the same use case scenario. I have address string in Address object.

String Comparisons

Handle whitespace between two words , letters.
Handle trailing and leading spaces
Handle casing of strings

//Private Member

private List<Address>
_addresses;

//Method for update Address and duplicate checks

public string UpdateAddress(Address personAddress)

{

           string requestCorrelationId = _client.GetCorrelationRequest();

           var userContext = _sessionService.Get<UserContext>(SessionKeys.UserContext);

           try

           {

               if (IsDuplicateAddress(personAddress))

               {

return "Duplicate some
Message"

}

}

}

//Private Method

private bool IsDuplicateAddress(Address personAddress)

{

    return _addresses().Any(p => p.Equals(personAddress));

}

//Implement IEquatable

public partial class Address : IEquatable<Address>

  {

       public string AddressLine1 { get; set; }

       public string AddressLine2 { get; set; }

       public string AddressLine3 { get; set; }

       public string Suburb { get; set; }

       public string State { get; set; }

       public string PostCode { get; set; }

       public string CountryCode { get; set; }

       public long? Id { get; set; }

      public bool Equals(Address newAddress)

      {     

          if (newAddress == null) return false;

          return

string.Equals(Regex.Replace(newAddress.AddressLine1 ?? 

string.Empty, @"\s", string.Empty), 

Regex.Replace(AddressLine1, @"\s", string.Empty), 

StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)

              && string.Equals(Regex.Replace(newAddress.AddressLine2 ?? 

string.Empty, @"\s", string.Empty), 

Regex.Replace(AddressLine2, @"\s", string.Empty), 

StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)

              && string.Equals(Regex.Replace(newAddress.AddressLine3 ?? 

string.Empty, @"\s", string.Empty), 

Regex.Replace(AddressLine3, @"\s", string.Empty), 

StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)

              && string.Equals(newAddress.CountryCode ?? 

string.Empty,CountryCode, 

StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)

              && string.Equals(newAddress.PostCode ?? 

string.Empty,PostCode, 

StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)

              && string.Equals(newAddress.State ?? 

string.Empty, State, 

StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)

              && string.Equals(Regex.Replace(newAddress.Suburb ?? 

string.Empty, @"\s", string.Empty), 

Regex.Replace(Suburb, @"\s", string.Empty), 

StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase);

      }

      public override bool Equals(object obj)

      {

          if (ReferenceEquals(null, obj)) return false;

          if (ReferenceEquals(this, obj)) return true;

          if (obj.GetType() != GetType()) return false;

          return Equals(obj as Address);

      }

      public override int GetHashCode()

      {

          unchecked

          {

              var hashCode = AddressLine1?.GetHashCode() ?? 0;

              hashCode = (hashCode*397) ^ (AddressLine2?.GetHashCode() ?? 0);

              hashCode = (hashCode*397) ^ (AddressLine3?.GetHashCode() ?? 0);

              hashCode = (hashCode*397) ^ (Suburb?.GetHashCode() ?? 0);

              hashCode = (hashCode*397) ^ (State?.GetHashCode() ?? 0);

              hashCode = (hashCode*397) ^ (PostCode?.GetHashCode() ?? 0);

              hashCode = (hashCode*397) ^ (CountryCode?.GetHashCode() ?? 0);

              hashCode = (hashCode*397) ^ Id.GetHashCode();

              return hashCode;

          }

      }

  }
