Compression in BAT by using 7z

To compress direcotry or files in batch program all You need to do is  to install 7z opensource and create simple 'task.bat' file with only few line of code:


@echo Start processing
"C:\Program Files\7-Zip"\7zg.exe a C:\Backup\important_data_%date:~0,4%%date:~5,2%%date:~8,2%.7z C:\inetpub\wwwroot\BestWebsite -t7z -mx9 -m0=LZMA -pMYPassword
@echo End
PAUSE

What we do here is:
1) Run 7zg.exe program
2) Create target file important_data_(current data).7z in C:\Backup\ directory
3) Indicate file or folder to compress in this ex we compress 'BestWebsite' directory
4) Set compression parameter in this example we have-t7z -mx9 -m0=LZMA
5) Optionally set a password to compressed document

Thank you

Persisting Enum in database with Entity Framework

Problem statement We all want to write clean code and follow best coding practices. This all engineers 'North Star' goal which in many cases can not be easily achievable because of many potential difficulties with converting our ideas/good practices into working solutions.  One of an example I recently came across was about using ASP.NET Core and Entity Framework 5 to store Enum values in a relational database (like Azure SQL). Why is this a problem you might ask... and my answer here is that you want to work with Enum types in your code but persist an integer in your databases. You can think about in that way. Why we use data types at all when everything could be just a string which is getting converted into a desirable type when needed. This 'all-string' approach is of course a huge anti-pattern and a bad practice for many reasons with few being: degraded performance, increased storage space, increased code duplication.  Pre-requirements 1. Status enum type definition...

Creating common partial class with Entity Framework

When we use the Entity Framework (EF) in multilayer information systems sometimes we want to extend classes generated by EF by adding some common properties or functions. Such operation can`t be conduct on *.edmx data model so we need to make some improvement in our solution. Let`s begin... Lets assumed that in our soulution we have only three layer (three project): Client console application which has reference to the second layer  - ' ConsoleApplication ' project name Class library project with class interfaces only - ' Interfaces ' project name Class library class implementation and data model referenced to 'Interfaces' project - ' Classes ' project name. Picture 1. Solution structure. Now when we have all solution structure we can focus on data model. In the ' Classes ' project we create a new folder named ' Model ' and inside add new item of ADO.NET Entity Data Model named ' Learning.edmx ' - it may be empty ...

Using Hortonworks Hive in .NET

A few months ago I decided to learn a big data. This sounds very complex and of course it is. All these strange names which actually tells nothing to person who is new in these area combined with different way of looking at data storage makes entire topic even more complex. However after reading N blogs and watching many, many tutorials today I finally had a chance to try to write some code. As in last week I managed to setup a Hortonworks distribution of Hadoop today I decided to connect to it from my .NET based application and this is what I will describe in this post. First things first I didn`t setup entire Hortonworks ecosystem from scratch - I`d love to but for now it`s far beyond my knowledge thus I decided to use a sandbox environment provided by Hortonworks. There are multiple different VMs available to download but in my case I`ve choose a Hyper-V. More about setting this environment up you can read here . Picture 1. Up and running sandbox environment. Now whe...
