Choosing Dapper over EFCore

Recently I've been introduced the wonder that is Dapper, now understand most of my experience has been with Entity Framework and honestly found it hard to walk away from a framework that I love and been using since the beginning of my career. However for my current role I need to be more team oriented so its whatever gets the job done. This article will serve as a timestamp so that I can look back. So far its been four months using it and I do find myself using Dapper like EF but with more freedom. I have left concern about what I'm mapping to but just that I've mapped correct. Which I look at first in sql for the correct column. I've written more sql compared to what I wrote with EF. I think that says a lot about Dapper but its hard to say since I've also become more comfortable using sql. Overral Dapper is a lot easier to use. Notes Raw Queries in EF

Custom Logging with Personal Fields in Nlog

Setting the database string via var databaseTarget = ( DatabaseTarget ) LogManager . Configuration . FindTargetByName ( "database" ); databaseTarget . ConnectionString = connectionString ; LogManager . ReconfigExistingLoggers (); The above didn't work but I used the example below where I set it via the program's start. var defaultConnection = Configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection"); NLog.GlobalDiagnosticsContext.Set("defaultConnection", defaultConnection); var logger = LogManager.LoadConfiguration("nlog.config").GetCurrentClassLogger(); Then you can use ${gdc:item=defaultConnection} in your nlog.config: <target xsi:type="Database" connectionString="${gdc:item=defaultConnection}" /> Rather than using GDC, which is for global static data and fails on concurrent logging, it is better to use  EventProperties-Layout-Renderer  which allows to pass of custom  properties specific to the ...

Mongodb Cheatsheet

This cheat sheet is based on the latest version of mongodb, which initial had setup and didn't encounter any problems. However that all changed when I was working remote and forgot I disabled the port no my network, rather than with the server. So I went pointing around where I didn't need to and ended up messing things up. The Best tutorial out there is of course on digital ocean for my setup on ubuntu 16.04 , this articles isn't so much about getting setup. I just wanted to include it because I found myself looking back at it to see if I missed a step. Bugs/Problems Now comes all the messed up things I found and had to deal with. firewall - Port seems to be open, but connection refused try using 0.0.0.0 in the bin_ip for the /etc/mongo.conf try sudo ufw disable and check to see if it works without the firewall (probably still wont but worth a shot), then just sudo ufw enable. Make sure port 27017 is open. Then check this  linux - Connection refused to MongoDB e...

Installing Windows on Acer chromebook 15 cb3-532

Much of my notes are just small problems I faced (what's new!) haha. Either way this was a really fun project to do for a friend and I got excited once I research all the information. You can find instruction videos but what helped me the most was the coolstar website. Sadly they don't have parameters in the url so I can link the machine I used in this article. -  https://coolstar.org/chromebook/windows-install.html Scared of messing with the bios? Don't be!    So you need to first remove the screw to put a legacy bios on the machine. Its easy to backup the chrome os one and with the same steps to change it. You can go back in and revert to the chrome version bios. Its that last part that had me worried and its very easy to do.  Problems getting into Developer Mode?   Follow the instructions to the letter, during the step to disable the OS verification, press Ctrl-D to boot into os. If you hear two beeps I would go back to set one. I got in a loo...
