System.InvalidOperationException : DataTableReader is invalid for current DataTable 'Customers'.

Aaah… The good old times. I had to add a bug fix to a project I worked on years ago. This was before ORM’s were mainstream so all data access was done through DataTables and DataReaders. While fixing the bug, I wanted to add an extra test to verify if my solution worked without having to go to the database.

This is actually really easy when using DataTables because you can create them in memory:

Inside my code I was using an IDataRecord so I used the CreateDataReader() method to get a DataReader object that implements the IDataRecord interface.

I pass the created reader to my method:

However when executing this code, it failed with the following cryptic message:

System.InvalidOperationException : DataTableReader is invalid for current DataTable 'Customers'.

What was the problem? Before the IDataRecord interface inside the DataReader can be used, you should call the Read() function first.

Help! I accidently enabled HSTS–on localhost

I ran into an issue after accidently enabling HSTS for a website on localhost. This was not an issue for the original website that was running in IIS and had a certificate configured. But when I tried to run an Angular app a little bit later on http://localhost:4200 the browser redirected me immediately to https://localhost . Whoops! That was not what I wanted in this case. To fix it, you need to go the network settings of your browser, there are available at: chrome://net-internals/#hsts edge://net-internals/#hsts brave://net-internals/#hsts Enter ‘localhost’ in the domain textbox under the Delete domain security policies section and hit Delete . That should do the trick…
