Develop Reference

Exception Thrown by the target of an invocation when accessing a 3rd party dll

I have been working on a C# console application which uses a number of 3rd party dlls which are referenced in the project.
Everything was working fine but one day my windows 7 operating system updated because of automatic windows update and after that this application code started crashing at the code where a call is made to a 3rd party dll which actually accessing the database.
I restored my system to a previous state and the application started working fine again but once again the windows update ran and application started crashing again at the same location.
I can not stop windows update as its a company provided laptop and I can not change setting so that windows update do not happen again. And I do not have the code for this 3rd party dll.
I can provide you the app.config here...

The code where my application is crashing or giving exception is below:
public DataSet GetData(string statementId, string parameter)
{
object[] param = null;
DataSet ds = null;
try
{
if (parameter != null)
{
param = new object[1];
param[0] = parameter;
ds = DataAccessFaçadeAdapter.ExecuteStatementForDataSet(statementId, param);
}
else
{
ds = ExecuteStoredProcedure(statementId);
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Tracer.Trace(TraceLevel.Error, "GetData() Exception is" + ex.Message);
}
return ds;
}
here the following line is where I get exception as this method is written in 3rd party dll for which I do not have any code
ds = DataAccessFaçadeAdapter.ExecuteStatementForDataSet(statementId, param);
And the Exceptions details are as below:
- InnerException {"Object reference not set to an instance of an object."} System.Exception {System.NullReferenceException}
Message "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." string

Please advise on how to resolve.

Determine if the third party DLL has an update. Usually system updates target discovered security holes and this targeted dll may have some issue related.
Otherwise you may want to implement a different method of data access or even move the application to .Net 4 which may have the latest methodology.

Issue with Claims after migrating project to MVC5, unexpected call to GetRolesForUser

A project has been updated from MVC 4 to MVC 5 because of new the use of Visual Studio 2015 which was not compiling razor views properly (which is something that's documented by Microsoft and not the issue).
We use an utility class accross projects to retrieve values stored in Identity Claims.
In that class, someone did a call to:
System.Security.Claims.ClaimsPrincipal.Current.Claims.ToList()
which was working in the previous MVC4 version, but after migrating all the Nuget packages required for MVC5, this specific call throws the following error:
An exception of type 'System.ArgumentNullException' occurred in System.Web.Providers.dll but was not handled in user code
Value cannot be null.
Parameter name : username
System.Web.Providers.DefaultRoleProvider.GetRolesForUser(String
username) +183 System.Web.Security.RolePrincipal.GetRoles() +215
System.Web.Security.d__1.MoveNext() +58
System.Security.Claims.d__1.MoveNext() +253
System.Security.Claims.d__1.MoveNext() +209
System.Collections.Generic.List1..ctor(IEnumerable1 collection) +445
System.Linq.Enumerable.ToList(IEnumerable`1 source) +58
I did a foreach() on that collection instead, and it's like after all custom defined Claims it's reaching to an unexpected end, or it's trying to retrieve things from the GetRoleForUser and I don't know why.
If anyone has a hint, I can give more details if needed.
Setup of the Web.Config of that MVC project:

The problem was mainly caused by WebMatrix Data which was improperly trying to load user roles.
Because it was not used in the project, and there was no reason of its presence in this project, I decided to remove it.
Uninstalling the WebMatrix nuget, and removing ALL the references of WebMatrix inside the project resolved the issue.

How do I update my web.config for sending error through email in C#?

I am using Visual Studio 2013, the web server is running .NET 4, and I am getting a error on a web form on the live server, that works fine running on localhost.
It is currently emailing errors when I debug my web application through localhost and I would like it to send me errors when it is live (and if possible, on my localhost as well). It used to send me errors from the production server but when I started debugging, it changed some settings and now it doesn't anymore.
I am assuming that the problem is a setting somewhere, can anyone give some general ideas on where to look for the problem? Here is some code from my web.config for exception handling, is there some other code that could help clarify the problem?

We can't help too much with your specific question without seeing more of your config file(s) and/or error handling code that sends e-mail notifications. However, another solution to your problem may be an error hanndling/logging/notification framework, such as:

WCF & Castle Windsor - Looks like you forgot

We have recently started migrating to Castle Windsor and i'm having some issues getting our WCF service running. It is a regular windows service NOT HOSTED IN IIS where we serve up SSL material and use a custom X509CertificateValidator to verify the client's presented certificate.
Below is the code i'm using to create the WCF service. It is in a separate project to the WCF service which references it.
public IWindsorContainer RegisterService<T,K>(
IServiceBehavior customBehavior,
Action<ServiceHost> onCreate = null,
Action<ServiceHost> onOpen = null,
Action<ServiceHost> onClose = null,
Action<ServiceHost> onFault = null) where T : class where K : T
{
var facility = this.AddFacility<WcfFacility>(f => f.CloseTimeout = TimeSpan.Zero);
var serviceModel = new DefaultServiceModel()
.OnCreated(onCreate)
.OnOpened(onOpen)
.OnClosed(onClose)
.OnFaulted(onFault);
var service = Component.For<T>()
.ImplementedBy<K>()
.AsWcfService<T>(serviceModel)
.LifestylePerWcfOperation<T>();
if (customBehavior != null)
facility.Register(Component.For<IServiceBehavior>().Instance(customBehavior));
facility.Register(service);
return facility;
}
The service starts as expected (i can navigate to the service using chrome with no issues) and the service is presenting and validating the SSL material (i.e. hits the custom validator) but after that, the client gets this in a FaultException:
Looks like you forgot to register the http module Castle.MicroKernel.Lifestyle.PerWebRequestLifestyleModule
To fix this add
<add name="PerRequestLifestyle" type="Castle.MicroKernel.Lifestyle.PerWebRequestLifestyleModule, Castle.Windsor" />
to the <httpModules> section on your web.config.
If you plan running on IIS in Integrated Pipeline mode, you also need to add the module to the <modules> section under <system.webServer>.
Alternatively make sure you have Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35 assembly in your GAC (it is installed by ASP.NET MVC3 or WebMatrix) and Windsor will be able to register the module automatically without having to add anything to the config file.
Below is a chunk of my App.Config, i have tried to place the module in all areas that were suggested through googles and through some guesswork:
...
<system.web>
<httpModules>
<add name="PerRequestLifestyle" type="Castle.MicroKernel.Lifestyle.PerWebRequestLifestyleModule, Castle.Windsor" />
</httpModules>

Im pretty much out of ideas. Does anyone know what could be the cause? If not, could anyone explain abit more about the error i'm getting?
Any help would be much appreciated!

Once again i'm answering my own question (the next day after posting, oh dear) :P
This error message is being thrown here (thank god for open source!):
https://github.com/castleproject/Windsor/blob/016730de012f15985410fb33e2eb907690fe5a28/src/Castle.Windsor/MicroKernel/Lifestyle/PerWebRequestLifestyleModule.cs
tldr - see below:
public class PerWebRequestLifestyleModule : IHttpModule
{
...
private static void EnsureInitialized()
{
if (initialized)
{
return;
}
var message = new StringBuilder();
message.AppendLine("Looks like you forgot to register the http module " + typeof(PerWebRequestLifestyleModule).FullName);
message.AppendLine("To fix this add");
message.AppendLine("<add name=\"PerRequestLifestyle\" type=\"Castle.MicroKernel.Lifestyle.PerWebRequestLifestyleModule, Castle.Windsor\" />");
message.AppendLine("to the <httpModules> section on your web.config.");
if (HttpRuntime.UsingIntegratedPipeline)
{
message.AppendLine(
"Windsor also detected you're running IIS in Integrated Pipeline mode. This means that you also need to add the module to the <modules> section under <system.webServer>.");
}
else
{
message.AppendLine(
"If you plan running on IIS in Integrated Pipeline mode, you also need to add the module to the <modules> section under <system.webServer>.");
}
#if !DOTNET35
message.AppendLine("Alternatively make sure you have " + PerWebRequestLifestyleModuleRegistration.MicrosoftWebInfrastructureDll +
" assembly in your GAC (it is installed by ASP.NET MVC3 or WebMatrix) and Windsor will be able to register the module automatically without having to add anything to the config file.");
#endif
throw new ComponentResolutionException(message.ToString());
}
...
}
From this I quickly gathered that the issue was that the PerWebRequestLifestyleModule was not being initialized, which was ok for me as i did not need it for this service!
Looking further into my own code, some of my repositories that were being loaded for this service were set to use LifestylePerWebRequest from when they were being used in our web console, bingo!
After adjusting them to something else (in this case 'LifestylePerWcfOperation`) all was working fine.

hello i have a following code in asp.net. i have used DotNetOpenAuth.dll for openID. the code is under
protected void openidValidator_ServerValidate(object source, ServerValidateEventArgs args)
{
// This catches common typos that result in an invalid OpenID Identifier.
args.IsValid = Identifier.IsValid(args.Value);
}
protected void loginButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!this.Page.IsValid)
{
return; // don't login if custom validation failed.
}
try
{
using (OpenIdRelyingParty openid = this.createRelyingParty())
{
IAuthenticationRequest request = openid.CreateRequest(this.openIdBox.Text);
// This is where you would add any OpenID extensions you wanted
// to include in the authentication request.
ClaimsRequest objClmRequest = new ClaimsRequest();
objClmRequest.Email = DemandLevel.Request;
objClmRequest.Country = DemandLevel.Request;
request.AddExtension(objClmRequest);
// Send your visitor to their Provider for authentication.
request.RedirectToProvider();
}
}
catch (ProtocolException ex)
{
this.openidValidator.Text = ex.Message;
this.openidValidator.IsValid = false;
}
}
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.openIdBox.Focus();
if (Request.QueryString["clearAssociations"] == "1")
{
Application.Remove("DotNetOpenAuth.OpenId.RelyingParty.OpenIdRelyingParty.ApplicationStore");
UriBuilder builder = new UriBuilder(Request.Url);
builder.Query = null;
Response.Redirect(builder.Uri.AbsoluteUri);
}
OpenIdRelyingParty openid = this.createRelyingParty();
var response = openid.GetResponse();
if (response != null)
{
switch (response.Status)
{
case AuthenticationStatus.Authenticated:
// This is where you would look for any OpenID extension responses included
// in the authentication assertion.
var claimsResponse = response.GetExtension<ClaimsResponse>();
State.ProfileFields = claimsResponse;
// Store off the "friendly" username to display -- NOT for username lookup
State.FriendlyLoginName = response.FriendlyIdentifierForDisplay;
// Use FormsAuthentication to tell ASP.NET that the user is now logged in,
// with the OpenID Claimed Identifier as their username.
FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(response.ClaimedIdentifier, false);
break;
case AuthenticationStatus.Canceled:
this.loginCanceledLabel.Visible = true;
break;
case AuthenticationStatus.Failed:
this.loginFailedLabel.Visible = true;
break;
// We don't need to handle SetupRequired because we're not setting
// IAuthenticationRequest.Mode to immediate mode.
////case AuthenticationStatus.SetupRequired:
//// break;
}
}
}
private OpenIdRelyingParty createRelyingParty()
{
OpenIdRelyingParty openid = new OpenIdRelyingParty();
int minsha, maxsha, minversion;
if (int.TryParse(Request.QueryString["minsha"], out minsha))
{
openid.SecuritySettings.MinimumHashBitLength = minsha;
}
if (int.TryParse(Request.QueryString["maxsha"], out maxsha))
{
openid.SecuritySettings.MaximumHashBitLength = maxsha;
}
if (int.TryParse(Request.QueryString["minversion"], out minversion))
{
switch (minversion)
{
case 1: openid.SecuritySettings.MinimumRequiredOpenIdVersion = ProtocolVersion.V10; break;
case 2: openid.SecuritySettings.MinimumRequiredOpenIdVersion = ProtocolVersion.V20; break;
default: throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("minversion");
}
}
return openid;
}
for above code I am always getting
var claimsResponse = response.GetExtension<ClaimsResponse>();
I am always getting claimsResponse == null. What is the reason why it happen. Is there any requirement which is required for openid like domain validation for RelyingParty?? please give me answer as soon as possible.

Also make sure that you have registered the information on your OpenID-account on the provider website, and allowed the information to be sent during the login process. I had the same problem using DotNetOpenAuth but it turned out the I hadn't entered the information on my myOpenID-account. Thought that the email address is always sent, but that is not the case even though the OpenID account is connected to a email address.
So on myOpenID make sure that you have a Registration Persona (Your Account->Registration Personas)

It looks like you're doing everything right. At this point it depends on the Provider you're using. Which one are you testing against? Some don't support Simple Registration (ClaimsRequest) at all. Others only support it for whitelisted RPs. Then others don't support it when your RP is at "localhost".
My advice: test against myopenid.com, as that seems to have good, consistent behavior and support for the Simple Registration extension. But your RP must always be prepared to receive null for ClaimsResponse, since you're never guaranteed the OP will give you anything.
Even if you get a non-null result, individual fields that you asked for (even if you marked them required) may be null or blank.

I dont know if you have solved the problem or not, but I found the solution after many hours of struggle. Actually you need to change your web.config file to claim email and fullname
here is web.config which works for me. I downloaded it from nerddinner project. Actually I copied everything except web.config and I was not getting the email field. So later on I found something else is wrong. I copied web.config from nerddinner project and everything was working.
here is the file, if you dont want to go to nerddinner project.
