C# MSGraph SDK and ipNamedLocation

I've been working on C# app to amend the ipaddress/s of a Named Location in conditional access in AAD.
I can authenticate and return the request collection. For whatever reason I cant access the isTrusted property or the ipRanges odata.
I can see the properties and the vales when I run through in debug, but cant output them.
I think its something to do with the list type, I'm using Microsoft.Graph.NamedLocation, there is Microsoft.Graph.IpNamedLocation type available but it can be converted from Microsoft.Graph.NamedLocation, which the api call makes.
The image shows what's available during runtime.
Code Below:
private static async Task GetnamedLocations(IConfidentialClientApplication app, string[] scopes)
{
GraphServiceClient graphServiceClient = GetAuthenticatedGraphClient(app, scopes);
var namedlocationsList = new List<Microsoft.Graph.NamedLocation>();
var namedLocations = await graphServiceClient.Identity.ConditionalAccess.NamedLocations
.Request()
.Filter("isof('microsoft.graph.ipNamedLocation')")
.GetAsync();
// var ipNamedLocations = new List<Microsoft.Graph.IpNamedLocation>();
namedlocationsList.AddRange(namedLocations.CurrentPage);
foreach (var namedLocation in namedlocationsList)
{
Console.WriteLine(namedLocation.Id + namedLocation.DisplayName + namedLocation.ODataType + namedLocation);
if (namedLocation.ODataType == "#microsoft.graph.ipNamedLocation")
{
Console.WriteLine("Write out all the properties");
}
}
Console.WriteLine(($"Named location: {namedLocations}"));
}
Any pointers gratefully received, I'm not a C# developer so be gentle :-)

You need to cast namedLocation to IpNamedLocation type.
foreach (var namedLocation in namedlocationsList)
{
Console.WriteLine(namedLocation.Id + namedLocation.DisplayName + namedLocation.ODataType + namedLocation);
if (namedLocation is IpNamedLocation ipNamedLocation)
{
var isTrusted = ipNamedLocation.IsTrusted;
var ipRanges = ipNamedLocation.IpRanges;
if (ipRanges is IEnumerable<IPv4CidrRange> ipv4cidrRanges)
{
foreach(var ipv4cidrRange in ipv4cidrRanges)
{
Console.WriteLine($"{ipv4cidrRange.CidrAddress}");
}
}
Console.WriteLine("Write out all the properties");
}
}

I couldn't get the updated answer to work, it still didn't evaluate the if statement to true, after a bit of googling and trying different options, the following returns the IP address, not sure if its the right way to go about it but it works.
var ipv4CidrRanges = ipRanges.Cast<IPv4CidrRange>().ToList();
foreach (var ipv4CidrRange in ipv4CidrRanges)
{
Console.WriteLine(ipv4CidrRange.CidrAddress);
}
Many thanks to user2250152 who solved the first conundrum for me.

AWS Lambda function with terraform

Having some issue when applying my terraform plan, and cannot pinpoint what is the problem in it. I tried everything I could think about. Here is my lambda.tf file:
data "archive_file" "projectLeo_listunsubscribe_lambda_code" {
type = "zip"
source_dir = "${path.module}/../src/ProjectLeo.ListUnsubscribe"
output_path = "${path.module}/../src/code-packaged/list-unsubscribe.zip"
}
resource "aws_lambda_function" "projectLeot_list_unsubscribe_lambda" {
filename = "${data.archive_file.projectLeo_listunsubscribe_lambda_code.output_path}"
function_name = "projectLeo-listunsubscribe-lambda"
role = "${aws_iam_role.projectLeo_list_hygiene_role.arn}"
handler = "${var.lambda_list_unsubscribe_function_handler}"
runtime = "dotnetcore2.1"
memory_size = "256"
timeout = 120
publish = true
reserved_concurrent_executions = 1
environment {
variables = {
optout-topic-arn = "${data.aws_sns_topic.projectLeo_optout_topic.arn}"
}
}
}
data "aws_sns_topic" "projectLeo_optout_topic" {
name = "${var.sns_optout_topic_name}"
}
The plan generated looks all fine, ut this error is generated when apply is done:
Error: Error creating Lambda function: ValidationException:
status code: 400, request id: c16dc369-bccd-418d-a2b5-2d0383c66064
on ..\list-unsubscribe\infrastructure\lambda.tf line 9, in resource "aws_lambda_function" "projectLeo_list_unsubscribe_lambda":
9: resource "aws_lambda_function" "projectLeo_list_unsubscribe_lambda" {
That's quite a light log to work with, I tried updating pieces by pieces of the code but always have the same result.
Can anybody help me pinpoint what may be the issue with my code? Thanks!

Finally manage to identify the issue: the environment variables in AWS lambda function doesn't accept hyphen (-). I replaced it by underscore and it went through.
optout-topic-arn became optout_topic_arn

Twilio StatusCallback not working:

So I'm building an app with twilio voice, and I've got all the phonecall stuff working. But I'm having a little trouble understanding which parameters my callback should have.
I've registered the URL as described in the docs:
options.From = formatPhoneNumber(callout.callback_number);
options.To = formatPhoneNumber(offer.employee_phone_number);
options.Url = TwilioCallBotController.TwilioCalloutScriptURL;
options.StatusCallback = TwilioCallBotController.StatusCallbackURL;
options.StatusCallbackEvents = new []{"initiated", "ringing", "answered", "completed" };
options.StatusCallbackMethod = "POST";
I've also made a callback method here, but I'm not having much luck finding out how the parameters are supposed to work with their API. I'm kindof at a loss as to what could be the reason behind this one not working:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult TwilioStatusCallback()
{
var twiml = new Twilio.TwiML.TwilioResponse();
twiml.Say("This is a test");
string CallSid = Request.Form["CallSid"];
string CallStatus = Request.Form["CallStatus"];
Debug.WriteLine("Status Callback Delivered");
Shift_Offer shoffer = db.Shift_Offers.Where(s => s.twillio_sid == CallSid).ToList()[0];
shoffer.status = CallStatus.ToString();// + DateTime.Now.ToString();
return TwiML(twiml);
}
Edit:
So it turns out that the API is very sensitive about the method signature (the call was previously throwing a method not found exception in a number of microsoft DLLs, including System.Web and System.Web.Mvc.
So I've actually gotten the software to call the method by using an empty method signature (no parameters).
However I'm still having trouble getting the parameters from the HTTPPOST
Edit: So upon further investigation I've managed to inspect the Request. The values I'm after exist in Request.Form["foo"], but they don't seem to be getting put into the two strings I have declared. I've removed the ["HttpPost"] attribute to try to troubleshoot the issue, but I'm really at a loss as to why I can see the values in the debugger, but they're not translating into memory.
public ActionResult TwilioStatusCallback()
{
var twiml = new Twilio.TwiML.TwilioResponse();
string sid = Request.Form["CallSid"];
string status = Request.Form["CallStatus"];
Shift_Offer shoffer = db.Shift_Offers.Where(s => s.twillio_sid == sid).ToList()[0];
shoffer.status = status;// + DateTime.Now.ToString();
return TwiML(twiml);
}

Last issue was that the database wasn't being saved.
Just added a db.SaveChanges() and we're good.

Input string error when posting for next set of data

The other day I had my scraper working very well, when I realized that I wasn't getting enough records, I decided to search by postal code and had to change some of my code. The first POST and RESPONSE goes off without a hitch, but when I post to get the next page of results it fails on the Response.
the starting code is...
public void StartScrape()
{
List<string> a = lstPostalCodes();
for (int i = 0; i <= lstPostalCodes().Count; i++)
{
b = a[i];
FirstRequestResponse(b);
if (GoBackToStartSearch == "CONTINUEON")
StartNextRequest(GetViewState(ResponseData));
else
{
WriteDataToFile(ResponseData);
FinalClean();
}
}
}
The method that I am calling is StartNextRequest. In the StartNextRequest method is
private void GetResults(HttpWebRequest wr)
{
using (StreamReader responseReader = new StreamReader(wr.GetResponse().GetResponseStream()))
{
// Add response/results to string
ResponseData = responseReader.ReadToEnd();
}
string strFind = "<li id='nextdisabled'>";
if (ResponseData.Contains(strFind)) GoBackToStartSearch = "BACKTOSTART";
else
GoBackToStartSearch = "CONTINUEON";
}
The error that its throwing is saying that the
Input string was not in correct format
and pointing at the using (StreamReader...)
I have gotten other errors that I seem to fix, but then it creates another error which has to do with waiting for bytes to be written. I'm using Fiddler2 to give me more info on the errors, the headers are pretty much the same, I'm not seeing much of a difference, other than 1 being a request and the other a response.
I have no idea on why its saying that, I have stepped through the working code that I wrote to scrape all the data results, and compared the two. Everything looks the same. The values are all the same.
Any ideas on where I should look to fix this?

ClrZmq returning messages always to first started client

We're creating a WPF app in which we execute python scripts from different Test Stations and show the output in its corresponding output panel, To run the scripts in parallel we are using Task but when we run the scripts in parallel from the stations, We are getting the output of other stations also into the station that is started first, we're using the following code,
private void ZmqStatusListener(string endPoint)
{
using (Context context = new Context())
{
StatusPort = string.Empty;
TestResultPort = string.Empty;
using (Socket server = context.Socket(SocketType.REP))
{
try
{
if (isStatusContextActive == false || isPortChanged == true)
{
server.Bind(endPoint);
isStatusContextActive = true;
}
}
catch (ZMQ.Exception ex)
{
if (ex.Errno != 100)
{
string IPCPort = _globalParameters.GlbParam.GlbParamIpcStartPort;
if (IPCPort == string.Empty)
{
IPCPort = "0";
}
if (endPoint == EditorConstants.PortAddress.PortPrefix + IPCPort)
{
StatusPort = endPoint;
TestReultError = EditorConstants.CommonMessageTypes.TestReultError + ex.Message + EditorConstants.CommonMessageTypes.StackTraceMessage + ex.StackTrace;
}
StopExecOfScript(default(object));
isCancelledtask = true;
ScriptStatusDesc = new ScriptStatusDesc()
{
Status = "Failed",
statusDescription = "Failed"
};
}
}
while (true)
{
string message = server.Recv(Encoding.UTF8);
UpdateTestResults(message);
server.Send(" ACK", Encoding.UTF8);
// if (message == "Test Passed")
//break;
}
}
}
}
and for testing purpose we're breaking the while loop in this code based on a test message we kept in the python script, then we are able to get the output in the respective station correctly but this way we can only run in a synchronous fashion which we don't want as we require to run the test stations in parallel and the while loop should not break as it should be listening for the response.

We were able to solve the issue by getting clues doing a sample app to reproduce the issue and to first know whether our ClrZmq pattern was correct for us or not and it is correct. The resolution we followed is that when we needed to bind that data to its corresponding View's Model object in its ViewModel so had to retrieve View's DataContext which is of Type ISomeXViewModel for the particular TestStation using an Id of that TestStation we did this cos all of our TestStations are dynamically added and we even store it to be accessed wherever necessary. This issue was caused to due multiple instances of UserControls so we explicitly needed to update the TestStation manually with a little more effort.
Sample Code Snippet
private void BindTestResult(string xmlPayLoad)
{
// converting xmlPalLoad to a class/model object
ITestStationViewModel viewModel = (ITestStationViewModel)((IView)DynamicTestStationsGrid.Children[StationNumber].Content).DataContext;
// IView class has DataContext property so I am type casting the Content which is ContentControl to IView type first and later to ITestStationViewModel
viewModel.TestStationModel = xmlPayLoadModel;
}
Thanks.
