Entity Framework error: There is already an open DataReader associated with this Command which must be closed first

On a recent project I started to use Entity Framework. So far the experience has been good, but sometimes I get some unexpected issues(and I have to force myself to not go back to NHibernate Glimlach ).

Let’s have a look at the code first:

I think there’s nothing special about this code. I first load all the categories and then walk through all the products(which will cause a n+1 issue, but that’s another discussion). When I first ran this code it failed with the following error message:

"An error occurred while executing the command definition. See the inner exception for details."

When I drilled down to the innermost exception, the following message was shown:

"There is already an open DataReader associated with this Command which must be closed first."

To solve this, you have to add an extra part to your connection string:

Data Source=srv01;Initial Catalog=Northwind;Persist Security Info=True;Integrated Security=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=true

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

DevToys–A swiss army knife for developers

As a developer there are a lot of small tasks you need to do as part of your coding, debugging and testing activities. DevToys is an offline windows app that tries to help you with these tasks.
