New Post: Enterprise Library 5.0 event Logging not logging to remote computer

We are using Enterprise Library Exception Handling Application Block to log exceptions to the Event Log. This works well when I am logging the exception on the local machine. When I try to create an event log entry on a remote computer (which is the realtime scenario, a common event log for all clients), the log entry is not made. I do not see any exception while logging either.

I have even tried to add the application user as an administrator to the remote machine where the Event log entries have to be made and also added to Event Log readers group. That does not work too.

A sample for the same is as below.

Commented Issue: EntiLib Contrib for OdpNet Bug [23942]

oeN — Wed, 27 Feb 2013 11:51:04 GMT

Hello I'm trying to do this:

Database database = DatabaseFactory.CreateDatabase(ConnectionStringName);
database.ExecuteNonQuery("MyPackage.MySP", ApplicationId);

where ApplicationId is a Guid. And this lead me to a problem in EntiLib Contrib for odp.net.

From what I've seen It seems to be a problem in this method:

public override void SetParameterValue(DbCommand command, string parameterName, object value)
{
object convertedValue = value;

ParameterTypeRegistry registry = GetParameterTypeRegistry(command.CommandText);
if (registry != null)
{
if (registry.HasRegisteredParameterType(parameterName))
{
DbType dbType = registry.GetRegisteredParameterType(parameterName);

if (DbType.Guid == dbType)
{
convertedValue = ConvertGuidToByteArray(value);
}
else if (DbType.Boolean == dbType)
{
convertedValue = ConvertBoolToShort(value);
}
}
}

base.SetParameterValue(command, parameterName, convertedValue);
}

This method works when I create all the parameters manually but when I call ExecuteNonQuery without create any parameter I got an error executing the query. because nobody converted the guid to a byte array

After some analysis it seems that the previous method should be changed to:

public override void SetParameterValue(DbCommand command, string parameterName, object value)
{
object convertedValue = value;

ParameterTypeRegistry registry = GetParameterTypeRegistry(command.CommandText);
if (registry != null)
{
if (registry.HasRegisteredParameterType(parameterName))
{
DbType dbType = registry.GetRegisteredParameterType(parameterName);

if (DbType.Guid == dbType)
{
convertedValue = ConvertGuidToByteArray(value);
}
else if (DbType.Boolean == dbType)
{
convertedValue = ConvertBoolToShort(value);
}
}
else{
if (value is Guid)
{
convertedValue = ConvertGuidToByteArray(value);
}
else if (value is bool)
{
convertedValue = ConvertBoolToShort(value);
}
}
}

base.SetParameterValue(command, parameterName, convertedValue);
}

this way it should work when calling ExecuteNonQuery without creating the parameters.
Comments: ** Comment from web user: oeN **

Does anyone read this? and can anyone please make the change and make a new build?

New Post: Enterprise Library v5.0.414.0 build (and copy) scripts

jbourgault — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 15:54:16 GMT

Hi Rob,

actually, EntLib v5.0.414.0 is compiled against .NET 3.5 and is compatible with 4.0. Regarding 4.5, EntLib is heavily using Unity for configuration which if I remember correctly is not compatible with 4.5 because it uses some members of Reflection.Emit that are deprecated in 4.5. Have a look at Unity 3.0 Preview from the P&P team to know more about those limitations.

However if you were able to compile against 4.5, please let us know how it went and what changes you made!

Cheers,

Jeremi

New Post: Enterprise Library v5.0.414.0 build (and copy) scripts

tutor — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 14:03:34 GMT

Hi Folks

Question, I'm using the latest Enterprise Library v5.0.414.0.

There's an interesting phenomena, did anyone notice that the batch file for
building/copying/buildcopy/etc. the library assemblies are hardwired at v3.5
(variable msBuildDir). I set the framework directory to v4.0.30319 (.NET v4.5 ) because we are running this version).

Also, it looks like the build script is compiling (release) to older core assemblies as far the the .NET version goes.

Can anyone explain to me the process of getting everything at .NET v4.5, in Release Mode?
