FileSystemWatcher Service
The sollution which you are seeking depends on what scenario you need it for.
Just an example, if you have a masive ammount of files, and want to store them in the cloud or transfer them to the cloud (in this case a situation where there are no new files added), you can suffice with a read directory and sort all the files by name and size and folder.
after every transfer update a txt file of the latest transfer.
the second option is when you get batches of files to upload but do not want to put in doubles to keep in a database the uploaded files with checksum, size and name.
Before every upload you can check the checksum and if it reoccurs, you could download and compare (checksums are not 100% secure).
another option is to rename the files, a lot of file transfers for archves do this.
Before starting they put an extension to the filename like something:
test.pdf ==> test.pdf.processing and after the transfer ==> test.pdf.transferComplete .
This can also be done with folders and then you can process all which are not excluded through the extension.
After the transfer is completed, the data most times is transferred to a folder like processed or transferred so it will be available to transfer again
Hope this helps

weird memory consumption vs machine spec
Hi,
Dunno if it helps, but maybe a look at what kind of differences there are in the environment. Like OS, hypervisor, memory optimezed.
AWS seems to have different instances: https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/

Can anyone help me switch my primary key column from int to uniqueidentifier for my web app?
Hello,
before anyone can give a good answer, there is a lot of info needed. Just some pointers:
- Is it a database which already is filled with records?
- If there are any records, can they be removed
- Is it an empty project ==> if Yes, you can delete the project and recreate with the correct id's.
The sollution is dependant on the situation.
If it's a relational database which is filled with data, there is (not necessarily) another sollution then if it's a new project.
Just an example (of a possible sollution) if you got an existing relational database:
1) create the guid collumns (nillable)
2) fill the records with the related guids
3) add the foreign key
4) do checks by queries
5) remove the old foreign key and tables.

nugget package update
Hi,
I think there are 2 issues namely:
- somehow the program you got creates an error. and this can be a result of a nuget package.
- It tries to start the debugger, but has no permissions.
To solve it, you could give the debugger permissions and try to find the cause or check the nuget packages and check the dependancies (and downgrade when necesary).

✅ Different output on same code.
catch (Exception ex) // this catches the exception and adds the exception is in the var ex.
{
var exception = new UDDivideByZeroException(number1, number2); // this just creates a local variable with a self defined exception
return 0; // returns a 0

Null Literal and NUll reference problems
Hi,
I'm looking at the code and there can be a number of causes. Hope you can use the following:
I would replace the array with a list like:
List<Employees> listEmployees = new List<Employees>();
and add items using:
listEmployees.Add(new Employees(line, Convert.ToInt32(line[1]), Convert.ToDecimal(line[2]), Convert.ToDouble(line[3])));
the second part is about ul reference. What you do in the code:
employees[LineCount] = new Employees(line, Convert.ToInt32(line[1]), Convert.ToDecimal(line[2]), Convert.ToDouble(line[3]));
- convert the second char into integer
- convert the third character into decimal
- convert the fourth char into double.
When the line does not have the chars, the array (a string is under the hood an array of chars) it will give a null reference error.
There are more possible tests you can add but first start something like below within the loop.
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(line) || line.Length <5 )
{
// give some error or message and put breakpoint to look at data
}

udemy course advice related to C# , .net
Hi,
I've done this course and it is a good beginners course but it is a course based on backend with some frontend. If you want more you should also follow a independant frontend course.
Bootstrap is used with angular.
another thing, just my advice. think of a project which fits in the course and try to make that instead of typing over, this helps understanding, but also helps to see what and where you need more.

✅ Guidance in software development
Hi,
You're question is not as simple as saying learn c#.
Knowing the syntax of a language is part of being a developer. The other part is knowing how to structure a application / buildin it safely.
you could seach for courses on youtube "IAmTimCorey". these are quite nice

Controls from WPF.UI can't render properly on WPF, .NET Framework 4.8
Hi,
an issue like this is very difficult to analyse when you dont have the complete code.
That said, maybe you can use the following:
99% o the time when having issues like this (and it does not matter which language / framework etc) it the cause of:
- Not able to map the font
- Resources missing (not added to the sollution).
- Typo with the resource.
So it could be as simple as that the resource must be included (or set on copy always in the sollution).
Hope this helps

reflection good course
Keep in mind that this is reflection.
So themethod e.g.
public void Sort(object toSort) { // Here I can use Get properties as an array and get the list property. // After this I want to convert the property to a list or any Collection listproperty = (Ilist) theListProperty ==> this works listProperty = (List<>) theListProperty ==> this gives a runtime error. } Having this said. I already found away around this. So I'm searching for good documentation / course on reflection. But it seems not to be available.
