Data size limit with Web Service Extension(WSE)

If you are using web service extension, watch out for size restriction based on the version of WSE

1. WSE 1.0
There is no size restriction on this. So if your web service and client with WSE 1.0, you won't have any problem.

2. WSE 2.0/3.0
In WSE 2.0/3.0, Microsoft introduced maxRequestLength which limits the amount of data transferred per request for a web service.
By default this will be 4 MB (4096KB). You can set it to unlimited by setting it -1 as follows in web.config.

<httpRuntime executionTimeout="90"
maxRequestLength="-1"
useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl="false"
minFreeThreads="8"
minLocalRequestFreeThreads="4"
appRequestQueueLimit="100"/>

or as follows in app.config for a windows based application.

<microsoft.web.services2>
<messaging>
<maxRequestLength>-1</maxRequestLength>
</messaging>
</microsoft.web.services2>

However to avoid DOS (Denial of Service) attack, it is always advisable to set this to a resonable limit based on your requirements.

If you try to download more data then the limit set, you will get following error
WSE352: The size of the record exceed its limit

Hope this helps.

Searching Unicode characters in Oracle table

Oracle implementation of Regular expression has no support for using hexadecimal code to search for Unicode characters. The only way to search for Unicode character is it use the character itself. Normally with Regular expression, you can use \x or \u followed by hexadecimal code to search for any character. E.g. \x20 will match space. But REGEXP_LIKE in Oracle does not support \x. You need to use unistr function to convert the code to equivalent character and then use it with REGEXP_LIKE. E.g. REGEXP_LIKE(source,'[' ||unistr('\0020')|| ']');

C# Performance Improvement - The Power of StringBuilder

Often when we are wring code we don't think about performance and go with the default options available to achieve a task. String concatenation is one such scenario. If you are doing simple and few string catenations, then you can use the following result = string1 + string2; string1+= string2; result = String.Concat(string1,string2); String.Format and string interpolation are few other options. However when you are performing large and repetitive operation, string catenation can be expensive. Here is an example to prove the point. As you can see it took 41 seconds to perform 100k string catenation. Now lets replace this with StringBuilder and see. 8 ms!!!!!! That is a massive performance difference. Hope you get the point. More info on StringBuilder can be found here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.text.stringbuilder?view=net-7.0

How to get started with .Net Core and Lambda functions?

Recently I started experimenting with .Net Core and AWS Lambda functions, I thought I will share the steps I took to get started Tools to install .Net Core 3.1 - https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/3.1 AWS CLI - https://aws.amazon.com/cli/ AWS Account - 12 months Free Tier - https://aws.amazon.com/free Terminal - on iOS I use iTerm2 - https://www.iterm2.com Once you installed the above tools, head to AWS console and login with your root account to create an account which will be used by AWS CLI. Please see steps here Now you can configure AWS CLI as detailed here . Verify that you able to connect to AWS service using CLI. To make life little easy with dotnet core and Lambda functions, you need to install AWS Extensions nuget pack for .Net CLI dotnet tool install -g Amazon.Lambda.Tools You can also install templates to get started quickly dotnet new -i Amazon.Lambda.Templates That's it. Now the fun part!!! Creat...
