Download the solution here. Description There are multiple ways to achieve performance in designing our web applications and while some of them include optimizations at an architectural or infrastructure level, there is also the case of the size of data which is delivered over the wire. We do have the tendency to use what isRead more

In my previous article Parameters in RevitApi I used the get_Parameter method which is obsolete since RevitAPI 2015. I am referrencing Revit2018 and the methods are not removed, maybe there are still present for compatibility reasons or maybe they plan to remove the in the future:   In the documentation now we have LookupParameter  but thisRead more

Getting parameters in RevitAPI is a challenging task. I have had some serious headaches trying to wrap my head around the what, where and huh of the parameters. Maybe it’s because of the lack of proper documentation from Autodesk. I mean, I get it, they have a list of ALL MEMBERS, well…pff, it’s not alwaysRead more

Click to download the source file Yet another article about MONGO! This article is about retrieving data in mongo and tweaking the retrieval method to accommodate some project requirements. I am not an expert in working with Expression trees, but some methods are quite easy to use and provide a great deal of flexibility inRead more

When we want to configure the identity server, we can start from the quickstart template and make the changes there. This quickstart provides all the interactions that we need, and sometimes more then we need. But we need to inject our data and this usually comes from the database. You can get the quickstart fromRead more

With mongo some operations will return a dynamic object, usually wrapped in an expando object. To deserialize the expando object in the target class is quite simple, I actually looked in the source code to see how the driver performs this operation. If you look at the test involving the dynamic type here (https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-csharp-driver/blob/b473de06f9bf3587b3a00f52ba2678d9aed71d74/tests/MongoDB.Bson.Tests/Serialization/Serializers/ObjectSerializerTests.cs) youRead more

The mongo driver offers a rich and complete infrastructure to create rich domain entities out of the box. The bson serializer integrated with the mongo driver can tackle all types of entities, it can deserialize entities with private setters and constructors, allowing us to define our entity methods and limit property access. Cloning an entityRead more

Security should be an integral part of any development project. Each API request should come with some sort authentication credentials which must be validated on the server for each and every request. The OAuth 2.0 authorization framework enables a third-party application to obtain limited access to an HTTP service, either on behalf of a resource ownerRead more

A scope is a role that defines access to various information or code sections. There are two kinds scopes and in Identity Server they are defined as : Identity Scopes Api Resource Scopes Scopes define the access information target for which that the client can request. When requesting an identity resource scope then you willRead more

With mongo you can enrich you queries with projection definitions, making it easy to limit the data you retrieve from the database and also shape the data according to your projects preferences. I will show several ways to achieve projections and some limitations regarding these. In our example we will use the base class Person,Read more
