How To : SignalR with Azure Service Bus - Full Details

26 July 2014 Robert Amiscaray (0)

SignalR with Azure Service Bus

The steps defined within "Scaleout with Windows Azure Service Bus" was good, but not complete from my viewpoint. Here's what you do assuming you did the prerequisites:

Step 1 : Setup Azure Cloud Services

Login to Azure
Click CLOUD SERVICES and Choose +NEW
Choose COMPUTE > CLOUD SERVICE > Quick Create > Url > MySignalr.Cloud.Service
Choose the correct hosting region

Step 2 : Setup Azure Service Bus

Login to Azure
Click SERVICE BUS and Choose +NEW

NAMESPACE NAME: MySignalR
REGION: West US

Click the Checkmark
Click the newly created namespace
Click Connection Strings from Below
Copy the connection string, you'll use it in your Web Project

Step 3 : Setup Visual Studio 2013 Solutions

Open Visual Studio 2013 as Administrator
File > New Project
Click Installed > Templates > Visual C# > Cloud
Click Windows Azure Cloud Service

Enter the following values:

Name: MySignalR.Cloud.Service
Solution Name: MySignalR
Click OK

In the ".NET Framework 4.5 roles" column, choose "ASP.NET Web Role" and click [>]

In the right column of Windows Azure Cloud Service Solution, Click on WebRole1 and then click the pencil to edit.
Change the name to MySignalR.Web and click the empty space beneath.
Click OK

New ASP.NET Project - MySignalR.Web

Choose MVC
Choose Add unit tests
Click OK

Then the instructions on ASP.NET tell you to install SignalR

Install-Package -ProjectName SignalRChat Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR
Install-Package -ProjectName SignalRChat Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR.ServiceBus

Set the backplane for Azure

Update Web.Config so the connection string can be stored there.

  <connectionStrings>
    <add name="AzureServiceBus" connectionString="Endpoint=sb://xxxx.servicebus.windows.net/;SharedSecretIssuer=owner;SharedSecretValue=XXXXXXXX" />
  </connectionStrings>

Startup.cs

public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
{
    // Any connection or hub wire up and configuration should go here
    string connectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["AzureServiceBus"].ConnectionString;

    GlobalHost.DependencyResolver.UseServiceBus(connectionString, "Chat");  
    app.MapSignalR();
}

Update the MySignalR.Cloud.Service files

Open ServiceConfiguration.Cloud.cscfg and add a line for Microsoft.ServiceBus.ConnectionString with the value defined in the service bus dashboard.

How To : Apple : Macboook Pro 2011 : Replace Hard Drive with SSD and Clone and Install

27 June 2014 Robert Amiscaray (0)

Apple Macbook Pro 2011 Hard Drive Replacement

Purchase a 2.5" SSD Hard Drive (with a 2.5 hard drive enclosure if possible).

If the 2.5" SSD does not contain a external hard drive enclosure, you can purchase one separate from Amazon.Com, just do a search for "SSD Hard Drive Enclosure"

Assuming you have the SSD and Enclosure,

Attach the 2.5" SSD Hard Drive enclosure to the computer. Most do it through a cable.
If the new 2.5" SSD Hard Drive storage space is larger than your existing hard drive, skip to Step 3. If the If the 2.5" SSD Hard Drive you bought has a smaller storage space than your current Hard Drive, you will need to resize the current drive first before you can begin cloning. You will need to Partition the Mac hard drive so that it is now the same size or smaller of the SSD Hard Drive

First Open Disk Utilities
Then click the hard drive
Change the space of existing hard drive so it's smaller than the new 2.5" SSD Hard Drive

Start the clone

Then Reboot and press Control + R

Select Disk Utilities
Choose the hard drive.
Then Restore
Turn off the Mac

Replace the hard drive

Turn the Macbook over and use a small Phillips screw driver to remove the bottom plate.

Lift the bottom plate straight up.

Replace the existing hard drive with the newly cloned 2.5" SSD Hard Drive.
Power it back up.

IMPORTANT: Set the startup drive to Macintosh Hard Drive. If you fail to do this, your Mac will be slow.

Mac > System Preferences > Startup Disk > Choose "Macintosh HD OSX,..."

Troubleshooting Problem : Slow Performance : Microsoft : TFS (Team Foundation Server) 2012

26 June 2014 Robert Amiscaray (0)

If you have issues with TFS being very slow and get the below error message, there could be an issue with the number of items associated with your workspace.

Error Message:

TF401190: The local workspace RAmiscaray;Robert Amiscaray has 101150 items in it, which exceeds the recommended limit of 100000 items. To improve performance, either reduce the number of items in the workspace, or convert the workspace to a server workspace.

Your workspace has to many linked items in TFS.

Solution:

From Visual Studio, choose the slow performing workspace.
Choose the Source Control explorer
Remove project mappings from the slow performing workspace. You may need to do several.
Create a new workspace and add the previously removed project mappings. Repeat.
Keep workspaces by project mappings to a minimum.

How To : Microsoft : Sql Server 2012 Express : Service Broker : Subscribe Query Notifications : Enable for ASP.NET and SignalR

23 June 2014 Robert Amiscaray (0)

Sql Server 2012 Express - Service Broker - Subscribe Query Notifications

To enable SQL Server 2012 Express real time data notifications to use with ASP.NET and SignalR:

Run Sql

Documentation : Enable Query Notifications

ALTER DATABASE AdventureWorks SET ENABLE_BROKER;

CREATE QUEUE ContactChangeMessages;
CREATE SERVICE ContactChangeNotifications ON QUEUE ContactChangeMessages ([http://schemas.microsoft.com/SQL/Notifications/PostQueryNotification]);

GRANT SUBSCRIBE QUERY NOTIFICATIONS TO "DomainName\Username";

Set SQL Server Permission for IIS App Pool

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7698286/login-failed-for-user-iis-apppool-asp-net-v4-0

You need to add a login to SQL Server for IIS APPPOOL\ASP.NET v4.0 and grant permissions to the database.
In SSMS, under the server, expand Security, then right click Logins and select "New Login...".
In the New Login dialog, enter the app pool as the login name and click "OK".
You can then right click the login for the app pool, select Properties and select "User Mapping".
Check the appropriate database, and the appropriate roles. I think you could just select db_datareader and db_datawriter,
but I think you would still need to grant permissions to execute stored procedures if you do that through EF.
