Enterprise Library 5 Exception Handling

Last week I discovered a nice feature inside the Enterprise Library 5 Exception Handling application block. On the ExceptionManager class a new method is available called Process(). This method automatically performs exception management and throws the exception based on the configuration. It accepts the policy name and a delegate or a lambda expression; the application block manages any exception that occurs while executing the method or lambda expression, also if the postHandlingAction is set to ThrowNewException then the application block throws the exception as a result of the respective execution of the configured exception handlers.

This minimizes the amount of exception logic you need to write a lot. Typical usage of the Process method will be similar to the code snippet given next:

   1:  //Get instance of ExceptionManager using static method of Enterprise Library Container
   2:   
   3:  ExceptionManager exManager = EnterpriseLibraryContainer.Current.GetInstance<ExceptionManager>();
   4:   
   5:  Order order = null;
   6:  OrderRepository orderRepository = new OrderRepository();
   7:   
   8:  //try..catch block not required...
   9:  //Automatic Exception Management through Process method
  10:  order= exManager.Process<Order>(
  11:     () => 
  12:        { 
  13:           return orderRepository.GetOrder(1000); 
  14:        }
  15:     ,"Data Access Policy");

.NET 8–Keyed/Named Services

A feature that a lot of IoC container libraries support but that was missing in the default DI container provided by Microsoft is the support for Keyed or Named Services. This feature allows you to register the same type multiple times using different names, allowing you to resolve a specific instance based on the circumstances. Although there is some controversy if supporting this feature is a good idea or not, it certainly can be handy. To support this feature a new interface IKeyedServiceProvider got introduced in .NET 8 providing 2 new methods on our ServiceProvider instance: object? GetKeyedService(Type serviceType, object? serviceKey); object GetRequiredKeyedService(Type serviceType, object? serviceKey); To use it, we need to register our service using one of the new extension methods: Resolving the service can be done either through the FromKeyedServices attribute: or by injecting the IKeyedServiceProvider interface and calling the GetRequiredKeyedServic...

Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t...
