The System.Diagnostics.Process class provides the options to retrieve all output from an external process after it has completed, or to retrieve events containing the output as the execution occurs. The option to receive asynchronous output events is useful in scenarios where you need to provide user feedback or log the output when timeouts occur. When receiving asynchronous output events, you must ensure that the external process has completed when you want to make sure that you get all the output....

ThoughtWorks recently released their Technology Radar report for January 2015 and structured logging was among the techniques that they strongly suggested that the industry adopt. I’ve actually had some exposure to structured logging over the past year and have been very happy with the results. So, I thought I would share my experience. My first exposure to structured logging was in early 2014. I was creating a simple Python application to monitor the amount traffic through my modem throughout the day and I was logging events from my application to logentries....

Use the following code in the BundleConfig.cs of your ASP.NET MVC application to force bundling and minification. // BundleConfig::RegisterBundles BundleTable.EnableOptimizations = true; Why? Why would you do this? Sometimes bundling and minification causes problems, such as in AngularJS. You will want to find these problems before publishing, so just enable this line every once in a while to make sure everything still works as expected with the optimizations.

This post is a summary of this StackOverflow answer by Cheeso. To read a file that is currently open (or may be open later) in another process, you must specify a FileShare option. The FileShare flag indicates the modes that other processes are allowed to open the file in. using (Stream s = System.IO.File.Open(fullFilePath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, // I want to open this file for reading only. FileShare.ReadWrite)) // Other processes may specify // FileAccess of read or write....

It’s common for web applications to use email addresses instead of user names to distinguish users. However, if you are using ASP.NET Identity, you have probably noticed that it has UserName built into the IUser interface. Since Identity assumes that this is the distinguishing field for the user, it’s not crazy to think that it might be a good place to drop the email address. In order to have Identity allow an email address in this field, you will need to write a custom IIdentityValidator....
