Problem with Entity Framework 4 and NUnit - entity-framework-4

I've got a simple test project I'm trying to convert from the visual studio unit testing framework to nunit. However, I'm encountering a strange error.
private VidRepository _repository;
//Setup the context before each test
[TestFixtureSetUp]
public void TestInitialize()
{
var fakeRepository = new FakeRepository();
_repository = fakeRepository.GetFakeRepository();
}
[Test]
public void CanGetMakes()
{
var makes = _repository.GetMakes();
Assert.AreNotEqual(0, makes.Count());
}
When I run the test CanGetMakes it dies in the TestFixtureSetup method with the error.
Could not load file or assembly
'CompanyName.Data.VidEntities,
Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its
dependencies. An attempt was made to
load a program with an incorrect
format.
I've added and removed the reference to the project a couple times with no luck, and it also works when I change it back to the Microsoft unit testing framework (using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;) which is very odd to me.
Does anyone have any suggestions.
Thank you,
Brian

I went through my projects and set the platform target to any cpu and it fixed the problem.

Properly Load Microsoft.ML model in Xamarin App?

I was learning a bit about how Machine Learning works and eventually built a small C# application because of a tutorial I was watching where a model determines what species of Bee a particular bee IS. It works well in the C# application, but I was also developing an app project that had picture taking capabilities in mind so I thought "No reason the model I saved in the first project can't work in the second, right?". Apparently there is a reason why it can't work because here is the necessary code to view in the app project:
MLContext m_mlObj;
DataViewSchema m_modelSchema;
ITransformer m_loadedTrainedModel;
var folderPath = DependencyService.Get<IFileSystem>().GetExternalStorage();
var fileDir = Path.Combine(folderPath, "trainedModel.zip");
bool testValue = File.Exists(fileDir);
if(testValue)
{
Console.WriteLine("File in fact exists.");
try
{
m_loadedTrainedModel = m_mlObj.Model.Load(fileDir, out m_modelSchema);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine("\n\n\nInner exception: " + e.InnerException);
}
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("File does not exist");
}
I have a breakpoint on the "m_loadedTrainedModel = m_mlObj.Model.Load(fileDir, out m_modelSchema);" line of course and it always triggers an exception.
The exception states:
---> System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type of field 'Microsoft.ML.Transforms.DnnRetrainTransformer:_tfInputShapes' (9) due to: Could not resolve type with token 01000060 from typeref (expected class 'Tensorflow.TensorShape' in assembly 'TensorFlow.NET, Version=0.20.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51') assembly:TensorFlow.NET, Version=0.20.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd5 1 type:Tensorflow.TensorShape member:(null)
What I THINK this means is it's checking for Tensorflow.TensorShape inside of the package TensorFlow.NET and isn't finding it. If that's the case, I believe I don't have the correct package installed so my Xamarin project will be able to load the model correctly, maybe? Or if not, then what may be the real underlying issue? The code seems straight forward so I'm a bit perplexed as to how this is failing.
If the solution is blatantly going over my head, my apologies and thank you to anyone who is willing to help.
When working with ML.NET on ARM, TensorFlow is one of the limitations at the time of this writing.
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/ml-net-june-updates-model-builder/#ml-net-on-arm
What you might want to consider in the meantime is deploying your model as a Web API and making requests to that API from your mobile app.

StackExchange.Redis.IDatabase exists in two dlls

I installed Redis StackExchange nuget and things worked fine. But then I installed RedisSessionStateProvider nuget, which installed StackExchange.Redis.StrongName along with it.
Now I am getting the following error,
Error 107 The type 'StackExchange.Redis.IDatabase' exists in both
'e:\Source\packages\StackExchange.Redis.1.0.481\lib\net45\StackExchange.Redis.dll'
and
'e:\Source\packages\StackExchange.Redis.StrongName.1.0.481\lib\net45\StackExchange.Redis.StrongName.dll' E:\Source\MyApp\Helpers\RedisHelper\StackExchangeRedisExtensions.cs 13 37 MyApp
Why is this?
There's a lot of confusion between the strong-named dll and the non-strong-named dll namespaces.
You can easily solve this by using extern alias.
Right click on project references and pick the dll you want to refer, go to properties window. Then, change the Aliases field value to anything you want. E.g: "Redis".
Then go to your consumer source-file and add:
extern alias Redis;
using System;
// ... other references
using Redis::StackExchange.Redis;
namespace Foo
{
public class Program
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
using (ConnectionMultiplexer connection = ConnectionMultiplexer.Connect("myConn"))
{
// use StackExchange API here.
}
}
}
}
There's also an issue on StackExchange's repository explaining more about StrongName vs Non-StrongName.
Some methods/properties/interfaces are duplicated in above 2 dlls.
Remove StackExchange.Redis reference to resolve errors.
I faced this issue in an ASP.NET Core app, and this answer solved my issue quickly.

dLibs - OpenKinect

Recently I got interested in dLibs, the Java wrapper for OpenKinect.
But I have difficulties in running the codes in eclipse; I've added the libraries based on what I think.
How to run the codes, say the example .pde files?
I've written sth like this to see how it works...
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Kinect.loadLibrary( "C:/Users/admin/Dropbox/new_workspace/dLibs/", "freenect.dll" );
Kinect k= new Kinect(0);
System.out.println(k.isReady());
}
}
==========
But I get this error:
#_KINECT_ERROR___#
location: dLibs.freenect.FreenectLibrary.loadLibrary(FreenectLibrary.java:177)
message: Unable to load library : freenect.dll
message: path = "C:\Users\admin\Dropbox\new_workspace\dLibs/freenect.dll"
message: try 'MyKinect.loadLibrary( "your dll path/", "freenect.dll" )'
which the 177 line of the FreenectLibrary is about the loadLibrary(...) method.
Can anyone please help me with that?
I was running the same issue. Make sure you use the 64bit dll file. Also make sure about the path is correct, and the use of / !

SignalR Requests Throwing "Hub could not be resolved."

I've been using SignalR since an early version and upgraded along the way however I have deployed my application to my Windows Server 2008 R2 production server and now the app crashes out with the " Hub could not be resolved." exception.
edit: StackTrace Added:
[InvalidOperationException: 'stockitems' Hub could not be resolved.]

On my dev machine and local test server I am getting no issues.
The hub in question is really simple:
[HubName("StockItems")]
public class StockItemHub : Hub
{
}
Originally I thought it was an issue with the HubName so removed it but it still bombs out.
Originally I thought it was due to dependency injection so I then changed my Global.asax to look as follows:
var signalRResolver = new SignalRDependencyResolver();
GlobalHost.DependencyResolver = signalRResolver;
var configuration = new HubConfiguration { Resolver = signalRResolver };
RouteTable.Routes.MapHubs(configuration);
AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
FilterConfig.RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters, config.Filters);
RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles);
edit: what is SignalRDependencyResolver?
SignalRDependencyResolver didn't exist until I tried to solve this issue. As I believe its a dependency injection issue I wrapped DefaultDependencyResolver overrode GetService and GetServices to first check my Ninject kernel for the type and if not fall back to the DefaultDependencyResolver
Any ideas?
The server is running IIS7, Windows Server 2008 with .Net 4.5
The application is an MVC 4 .Net 4.5
I had this same error due to my Hub class being internal, therefore SignalR couldn't find it within my assembly.
Setting the hub to public solved the issue.
I suffer from this problem just now, and I dig in a little deeper, and have just found out a possible solution.
My hub class are not in assembly of the web project, they are in some referenced assemblies. This is a very common scenario in a multi-layer application.
When starting up, signalR will try to find hub class by an IAssemblyLocator instance. When deployed within an IIS site, this IAssemblyLocator instance find through all referenced assemblies. But at this point of time, the application is just during the startup, which means many (referenced but not loaded yet) assemblies may had NOT been gathered by owin host environment.
So the lookup for hub classes fails.
So, just add your assembly into system.web/compilation/assemblies section of Web.Config:
<system.web>
<compilation targetFramework="4.5">
<assemblies>
<add assembly="HubAssembly, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral"/>
</assemblies>
</compilation>
</system.web>
Or if you like, you can also solved this problem by implementing a custom IAssemblyLocator class, register it into the dependency resolver as soon as app.MapSignalR is invoked.
using Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR.Hubs;
public class AssemblyLocator : IAssemblyLocator {
public IList<System.Reflection.Assembly> GetAssemblies()
{
// list your hubclass assemblies here
return new List<System.Reflection.Assembly>(new []{typeof(HubAssembly.HubClass).Assembly});
}
}
// add following code to OwinStartup class's Configuration method
app.MapSignalR();
GlobalHost.DependencyResolver.Register(typeof(Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR.Hubs.IAssemblyLocator), () => new AssemblyLocator());
This is now an old question but it reared its ugly head again this weekend. After spending alot of time investigating I have found that SignalR wasn't the only thing broken in the deployment, my WebAPI was also throwing could not find controller exceptions.
Turns out this is caused by the internals of SignalR and WebApi reflecting over all the types in the Sites assembly. A TypeLoadException was being thrown , in my case due to having a class derive RoleEntryPoint which is an Azure type but as the site was being deployed in a non Azure Environment things fell apart. Simply excluding this type from non Azure builds resolved the issue.
It would be nice if these TypeLoadExceptions were more visible but there it is.
Similar to #Jijie Chen, when I hit this issue I found that it was not able to load my assembly containing my hub. The fix for me was more straightforward though. In my case I had three projects. All the logic, including the hub was in a project of its own and I had two projects intended to host using owin. One was a console project that was working fine. I then adapted that to a windows service to host it. Well, somehow I managed to forget to include a reference to the project containing my hub. This still compiled fine because the host code relies on the signalr/owin mapping functions which load the hub(s) at runtime not compile time. So when I would start up the service and try to connect I got the hub no defined error described here because it couldn't find the assembly with my hub.

asp.net mvc code not getting compiled on server

i have this code in one of my asp.net mvc views:
<%Html.RenderFile(#"C:\Members\newsletters\welcome.html");%>
I have created an extension on the Html class to read in a file. the code looks like this:
public static class HtmlRenderer
{
public static void RenderFile(this HtmlHelper helper_, string path_)
{
var reader = new StreamReader(path_);
var contents = reader.ReadToEnd();
helper_.ViewContext.HttpContext.Response.Write(contents);
}
}
This all works perfectly when i run in visual studio on my desktop but when i ftp these files to the server, i get the following error in the browser:
Compiler Error Message: CS1061: 'System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper' does not contain a definition for 'RenderFile' and no extension method 'RenderFile' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
The HtmlRenderer class is in a namespace with my controllers so there is no other external assembly reference needed.
Does anyone have any idea how this could be happening or what i am doing wrong ?
You need to compile the project and then deploy (xcopy or publish from VS) to the server.
Googled and found something.Does the server has .net 3.5?
Try to publish the web on a local IIS7 or IIS6.( Right click project "Publish" ).
You have a good chance you already get a more specific error during "publish".
If not run the page on your local IIS6 or 7 and see if you get an error.
i tried doing a full refresh (deleting everything on the server and republishing and now everything works fine..
so i am happy that everything is working but still have no clue why it wasn't before.
