C# WUApiLib know if a windows update needs a restart

I use this code to get pending windows updates and also most of the informations of the update:
static List<PendingUpdate> GetPendingUpdates()
{
var updateSession = new UpdateSession();
var updateSearcher = updateSession.CreateUpdateSearcher();
updateSearcher.Online = false; //set to true if you want to search online
List<PendingUpdate> pendingUpdates = new List<PendingUpdate>();
try
{
var searchResult = updateSearcher.Search("IsInstalled=0 And IsHidden=0");
if (searchResult.Updates.Count > 0)
{
Console.WriteLine("There are updates available for installation");
foreach (IUpdate windowsUpdate in searchResult.Updates)
{
PendingUpdate update = new PendingUpdate();
update.Title = windowsUpdate.Title;
update.Description = windowsUpdate.Description;
update.Downloaded = windowsUpdate.IsDownloaded;
update.Urls = new List<string>();
foreach (string url in windowsUpdate.MoreInfoUrls)
{
update.Urls.Add(url);
}
foreach (dynamic category in windowsUpdate.Categories)
{
update.Categories += category.Name + ", ";
}
pendingUpdates.Add(update);
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine("ERROR");
throw ex;
}
return pendingUpdates;
}
I also use this code to get to know if the computer currently needs a restart to finish installed updates:
static bool needsRestart()
{
ISystemInformation systemInfo = new SystemInformation();
return systemInfo.RebootRequired;
}
Now my question is, is it possible to get to know if an pending update needs a computer restart to finish? In the first code I get a IUpdate object but I dont see informations about a needed restart after installing this update. I there a way to get this information?

For the asynchronous installation I use something like this:
rebootRequired = false;
UpdateSession updateSession = new UpdateSession();
updateSession.ClientApplicationID = SusClientID;
IUpdateInstaller updatesInstaller = updateSession.CreateUpdateInstaller();
IInstallationJob job = updatesInstaller.BeginInstall(InstallProgressCallback, installComplete, installState);
// here is your installer code and the checking if the installation is completed
IInstallationProgress jobProgress = job.GetProgress();
for (int updateindex = 0; updateindex < updatesInstaller.Updates.Count; updateindex++)
{
IUpdateInstallationResult updateInstallResult = jobProgress.GetUpdateResult(updateindex);
rebootRequired |= updateInstallResult.RebootRequired;
}
if(rebootRequired)
{
// any of the updates need a reboot
}

How to call a AVPlayer in XAMARIN iOS during notification instead of 30 second max duration notification sound?

I need to play a audio file which is 3 minutes length. But default notification sound does not play more than 30 seconds. So my idea is Calling a Avplayer
which will play my desired audio. But i do not know how to call this. Can any one please help me. I will be very grateful.
I am attaching my notification method here.
public void AVPlayer()
{
NSUrl songURL;
if (!MusicOn) return;
//Song url from your local Resource
songURL = new NSUrl("azan.wav");
NSError err;
player = new AVAudioPlayer(songURL, "Song", out err);
player.Volume = MusicVolume;
player.FinishedPlaying += delegate {
// backgroundMusic.Dispose();
player = null;
};
//Background Music play
player.Play();
}
public void CreateRequest(JamatTime jamat)
{
// Create action
var actionID = "pause";
var title = "PAUSE";
var action = UNNotificationAction.FromIdentifier(actionID, title, UNNotificationActionOptions.None);
// Create category
var categoryID = "message";
var actions = new UNNotificationAction[] { action };
var intentIDs = new string[] { };
var categoryOptions = new UNNotificationCategoryOptions[] { };
var category = UNNotificationCategory.FromIdentifier(categoryID, actions, intentIDs, UNNotificationCategoryOptions.None);
// Register category
var categories = new UNNotificationCategory[] { category };
UNUserNotificationCenter.Current.SetNotificationCategories(new NSSet<UNNotificationCategory>(categories));
// Rebuild notification
var content = new UNMutableNotificationContent();
content.Title = " Jamat Time alert";
content.Badge = 1;
content.CategoryIdentifier = "message";`enter code here`
content.Sound = UNNotificationSound.GetSound("sample.wav");
var times = new string[] { jamat.Asr, jamat.Dhuhr, jamat.Faijr, jamat.Ishaa, jamat.Jumah, jamat.Maghib };
int id = 0;
foreach (var time in times)
{
var ndate = DateTime.ParseExact(time, "h:mm tt", null);
var date = new NSDateComponents()
{
Calendar = NSCalendar.CurrentCalendar,
Hour = ndate.Hour,
Minute = ndate.Minute,
Second = 0
};
content.UserInfo = new NSDictionary<NSString, NSString>(
new NSString[] {
(NSString)"time1",
(NSString)"time2"
},
new NSString[] {
(NSString)DateTime.Now.ToString("h:mm tt"),
(NSString)time
});
var trigger = UNCalendarNotificationTrigger.CreateTrigger(date, true);
// ID of Notification to be updated
var request = UNNotificationRequest.FromIdentifier(id++.ToString(), content, trigger);
// Add to system to modify existing Notification
UNUserNotificationCenter.Current.AddNotificationRequest(request, (err1) =>
{
if (err1 != null)
{
Console.WriteLine("Error: {0}", err1);
}
Console.WriteLine($"Success: {request}");
});
}
}

You can't play an audio file instead of the UNNotificationSound.
There's no way to trigger the player's play method when the local notification comes. You could only configure the sound property using the code you post above. And the file should be embedded in the bundle resource.
It seems you are aware of UNNotificationSound: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/usernotifications/unnotificationsound?language=objc. But I still want to remind you of the file's format and length limitations.

Finally I have solved my problem.
When a notification fires then WillPresentNotification() method hits and I simply call the AVplayer there and perfectly working. If u want to play sound via UNNotificationSound then not possible because that is limited by 30 second duration..but problem this works only in foreground.

How to I read the number of LIVE users from Google Analytics in my .NET MVC application?

I have a ASP.NET MVC web application. I want to show the number of LIVE users from a website.
How can I read this from Google Analytics?
I have already followed this guide:
http://www.markwemekamp.com/blog/c/how-to-read-from-google-analytics-using-c/
But I can't get the code to work. It keeps on running and gives a System.NullReferenceException.
So I hope there are people with better idea's or guides here. And please, only complete guides with every detail in it. Not those half guide where you don't know what to do.
Thanks in Advance.
Update:
This is the code from the guide that I am using. I only added the date's. I am using the code in de Global.asax.cs file.
The Null exception occures on this piece of code:

Your code uses the reporting api which isnt going to give you real time data. Data in the reporting api wont be done processing for 24 -48 hours .
You should be using the realtime api if you want to see whats going on now. Just remember that you can only make 10000 requests against the api a day per view.
DataResource.RealtimeResource.GetRequest request =
service.Data.Realtime.Get(String.Format("ga:{0}", profileId), "rt:activeUsers");
RealtimeData feed = request.Execute();
foreach (List row in realTimeData.Rows)
{
foreach (string col in row)
{
Console.Write(col + " "); // writes the value of the column
}
Console.Write("\r\n");
}
My tutorial on the realtime api here GitHub sample project can be found here you also might want to consider using a service account
Note:
The Real Time Reporting API, in limited beta, is available for developer preview only. Sign up to access the API.

CRM Dynamics 2013 SDK Update Current Accounts With 2 Values

I have a scenario in CRM where I need to update existing accounts with their Vat and Registration number. There is well over 30 thousand accounts in the system. I am trying to update using the CRM SDK API but I am battling to figure out how to perform the actual update. The vat number and reg have been provided to me in a spreadsheet with their corresponding number, please note that the accounts are already in CRM so I just need to update the correct account with its Vat and Reg number, How can I do this in CRM, please advice on my code below:
public static void UpdateAllCRMAccountsWithVATAndRegistrationNumber(IOrganizationService service)
{
QueryExpression qe = new QueryExpression();
qe.EntityName = "account";
qe.ColumnSet = new ColumnSet("account", "new_vatno", "new_registrationnumber");
qe.Criteria.AddCondition("accountnumber", ConditionOperator.In,"TA10024846", "TA10028471", "TA20014015", "TA4011652", "TA4011557");
EntityCollection response = service.RetrieveMultiple(qe);
foreach (var acc in response.Entities)
{
acc.Attributes["new_vatno"] = //this is where I am struggling to figure out how I am gong to match the records up,
acc.Attributes["new_registrationnumber"] = //this is where I am struggling to figure out how I am gong to match the records up,
service.Update(acc);
}
}
How am I going to ensure that I update the correct records. I have the vat and reg numbers for the accounts in a spreadsheet, please see example image below. Can I please get advised here. Thanks.

I would load the list of VAT updates from the spreadsheet into a dictionary and then load the 30k record from CRM into memory. Then I would match them up and use ExecuteMultipleRequest to do the updates. Alternatively, you could query CRM using the account numbers (if the list is small enough.) I made the assumption you had thousands of updates to do across the record set of 30k. Note, if the Account record size was very large and couldn't be loaded into memory you would need to do account number queries.
Here is the rough code for the basic solution (I haven't tested, method should be split up, and there is minimal error handling):
public class VatInfo
{
public string RegistrationNumber;
public string TaxNumber;
public static Dictionary<string, VatInfo> GetVatList()
{
//TODO: Implement logic to load CSV file into a list. Dictionary key value should be Account Number
throw new NotImplementedException();
}
}
public class UpdateVatDemo
{
public const int maxBatchSize = 100;
public static void RunVatUpdate(IOrganizationService conn)
{
var vats = VatInfo.GetVatList();
var pagingQuery = new QueryExpression("account");
pagingQuery.ColumnSet = new ColumnSet("accountnumber");
Queue<Entity> allEnts = new Queue<Entity>();
while (true)
{
var results = conn.RetrieveMultiple(pagingQuery);
if (results.Entities != null && results.Entities.Any())
results.Entities.ToList().ForEach(allEnts.Enqueue);
if (!results.MoreRecords) break;
pagingQuery.PageInfo.PageNumber++;
pagingQuery.PageInfo.PagingCookie = results.PagingCookie;
}
ExecuteMultipleRequest emr = null;
while (allEnts.Any())
{
if (emr == null)
emr = new ExecuteMultipleRequest()
{
Settings = new ExecuteMultipleSettings()
{
ContinueOnError = true,
ReturnResponses = true
},
Requests = new OrganizationRequestCollection()
};
var ent = allEnts.Dequeue();
if (vats.ContainsKey(ent.GetAttributeValue<string>("accountnumber")))
{
var newEnt = new Entity("account", ent.Id);
newEnt.Attributes.Add("new_vatno", vats[ent.GetAttributeValue<string>("accountnumber")].TaxNumber);
newEnt.Attributes.Add("new_registrationnumber", vats[ent.GetAttributeValue<string>("accountnumber")].RegistrationNumber);
emr.Requests.Add(new UpdateRequest() { Target = newEnt });
}
if (emr.Requests.Count >= maxBatchSize)
{
try
{
var emResponse = (ExecuteMultipleResponse) conn.Execute(emr);
foreach (
var responseItem in emResponse.Responses.Where(responseItem => responseItem.Fault != null))
DisplayFault(emr.Requests[responseItem.RequestIndex],
responseItem.RequestIndex, responseItem.Fault);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine($"Exception during ExecuteMultiple: {ex.Message}");
throw;
}
emr = null;
}
}
}
private static void DisplayFault(OrganizationRequest organizationRequest, int count,
OrganizationServiceFault organizationServiceFault)
{
Console.WriteLine(
"A fault occurred when processing {1} request, at index {0} in the request collection with a fault message: {2}",
count + 1,
organizationRequest.RequestName,
organizationServiceFault.Message);
}
}

Updating the fetched entity is bound to fail because of its entity state, which would not be null.
To update the fetched entities, you need to new up the entity:
foreach (var acc in response.Entities)
{
var updateAccount = new Entity("account") { Id = acc.Id };
updateAccount .Attributes["new_vatno"] = null; //using null as an example.
updateAccount .Attributes["new_registrationnumber"] = null;
service.Update(acc);
}

Code below shows how I managed to get it righy. forst let me explain. I imported my records into a seperate SQL table, in my code I read that table into a list in memory, I then query CRM accounts that need to be updated, I then loop though each account and check if the account number in CRM matches the account number from my sql database, if it matches, I then update the relevant Reg no and Vat no, See code below:
List<Sheet1_> crmAccountList = new List<Sheet1_>();
//var crmAccount = db.Sheet1_.Select(x => x).ToList().Take(2);
var crmAccounts = db.Sheet1_.Select(x => x).ToList();
foreach (var dbAccount in crmAccounts)
{
CRMDataObject modelObject = new CRMDataObject()
{
ID = dbAccount.ID,
Account_No = dbAccount.Account_No,
Tax_No = dbAccount.Tax_No.ToString(),
Reg_No = dbAccount.Reg_No
//Tarsus_Country = dbAccount.Main_Phone
};
}
var officialDatabaseList = crmAccounts;
foreach (var crmAcc in officialDatabaseList)
{
QueryExpression qe = new QueryExpression();
qe.EntityName = "account";
qe.ColumnSet = new ColumnSet("accountnumber", "new_vatno", "new_registrationnumber");
qe.Criteria.AddCondition("accountnumber", ConditionOperator.In,'list of account numbers go here'
EntityCollection response = service.RetrieveMultiple(qe);
foreach (var acc in response.Entities)
{
if (crmAcc.Account_No == acc.Attributes["accountnumber"].ToString())
{
//acc.Attributes["new_vatno"] = crmAcc.VAT_No.ToString();
acc.Attributes["new_registrationnumber"] = crmAcc.Reg_No.ToString();
service.Update(acc);
}
}
}

Bloomberg web service call for single field and single instrument taking more than 1 min

I am making a Bloomberg web service GetData call for the "DEBT_TO_EQUITY_FUNDAMENTALS_TKR" field. I am setting secmaster = true and asking for a single instrument with a CUSIP identifier (with yellowkey = MarketSector.Corp).
This strikes me as a fairly lightweight call having seen people asking for thousands of instruments and dozens of fields at once.
I have played around with setting lots of different settings but I just can't get this request to return in a few seconds. It gives me the correct return value but it takes longer than 60 seconds.
Any idea if it is possible to get such a request to execute and return in a few seconds?
Thanks

Poll interval is 5 seconds and the SOAP web service url is:
https://software.bloomberg.com/datalicensewp/dlws.wsdl

I am having the same issue. I found out that there is a difference between making the same call to Bloomberg API from, for example, console app (works very fast) and web service (takes a lot of time to start session). And the difference is that console app runs under the same user as bbcomm process, whereas web service (or actually iis process) runs under System account. You can try to log out all users on the PC where web service is hosted and then try to make the call. In this case, I guess, bbcomm goes under System account as no one else is logged in and works fast. It worked for me and the call was answered instantly.
