Installing a windows service using PowerShell

There is a hard way and an easy way. Here is the easy way:

Use Invoke-Command to call InstallUtil instead of New-Service:

Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock { C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe /install "path to windows service.exe"}

Invoke-Command is better than Invoke-Item because the result of the execution is piped back to the console. (With Invoke-Item, any error messages don’t get sent back to caller).

Now here is an additional tip – if you need to specify the username and password under which the service should be run, you can use the undocumented InstallUtil parameters: username and password as shown below

Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock { C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe /username=domain\account /password=password /install "path to windows service.exe"}

Finally, if you need to run this command on a remote machine, use the –ComputerName field that’s part of Invoke-Command

Invoke-Command -ComputerName machineName -ScriptBlock { C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe /install "path to windows service.exe"}

And to uninstall a service:

Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock { C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe /uninstall "path to windows service.exe"}

Useful powershell functions for installing, uninstalling, starting and stopping windows services on a remote machine

function StartService()
{
    param ([string] $serviceName, [string] $targetServer)
    Write-Host "starting service $serviceName on $targetServer"
    Invoke-Command -ComputerName $targetServer -ScriptBlock {param($sn) START-Service $sn} -Args $serviceName
    Invoke-Command -ComputerName $targetServer -ScriptBlock {param($sn) $servicePrior = Get-Service $sn; Write-Host $servicePrior.status} -Args $serviceName
}
function StopService()
{
    param ([string] $serviceName, [string] $targetServer)
    Write-Host "stopping service $serviceName on $targetServer"
    Invoke-Command -ComputerName $targetServer -ScriptBlock {param($sn) STOP-Service $sn} -Args $serviceName
    Invoke-Command -ComputerName $targetServer -ScriptBlock {param($sn) $servicePrior = Get-Service $sn; Write-Host $servicePrior.status} -Args $serviceName
}

function UninstallService()
{
    param ([string] $serviceName, [string] $servicePath, [string] $targetServer)
       
    Write-Host "uninstalling service $serviceName on $targetServer from path $servicePath"
    Invoke-Command -ComputerName $targetServer -ScriptBlock {param($sp) C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe /uninstall "$sp"} -Args $servicePath
}

function InstallService()
{
    param ([string] $serviceName, [string] $servicePath, [string] $targetServer)
       
    Write-Host "uninstalling service $serviceName on $targetServer from path $servicePath"
    Invoke-Command -ComputerName es1sbweb -ScriptBlock {param($sp) C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe `
    /username=domain\username /password=password `
    /install `
    "$sp"} -Args $servicePath
}

SqlComplete–A must have add-on for Sql-Server users

If you use Sql-Server, then you must get SqlComplete for its awesome intellisense that it provides within Sql Server Management Studio (SSMS).

One of the best things I like about it: Regular SSMS intellisense will not work in SqlCmd mode. SqlComplete works even in SqlCmd mode. (And for me that’s huge, because I open all my query windows by default in SqlCmd mode). In addition it provides you with the ability of formatting your entire t-sql document (awesome!).

SqlComplete has two editions: a free edition that has reduced functionality (Not as great document formatting capabilities) and a standard edition that costs $99 (edition differences). I really wished that they had a personal edition for $50, cause I would definitely buy this tool.

Also remember to install the other awesome SSMS add-on: SSMS Tools, which provides some other useful features that make SSMS a pleasure to work with.

PlasticSCM–First encounters

I was looking for a source-control system that I could use at home, which meant that TFS would not be a good candidate for me (although it’s the SCRM that I have the most experience with). I have tested out SVN and Mercurial, but for some reason they didn’t grow on me.

Today I came across PlasticSCM (via a recent blog post regarding their new release 4.0). So I decided to give it a try. (The main reason being that it’s a distributed SCM and based on what I had seen on PlasticSCM’s website, the visualization tools were very good and it also had decent integration with Visual Studio). Another thing that I liked is that the free community edition allows you to use it with up to 15 users free of charge.

So here are some things I found out (based on usage with Visual Studio): (Remember these are just first impressions and this is also my first true usage of a distributed SCM).

1. I found having a separate repository for every solution was the way to go. When I first tried it out, I used a single repository and added all my solutions to that repository. (Each solution represented a completely distinct project). But it started getting very confusing, as I had to perform all sorts of merges everytime I opened a solution.
   Instead, when I created a separate repository for every solution (or group of solutions that represented the same project), things began working in what I considered a more predictable way.
2. I use Resharper and when I first added a solution to PlasticSCM, I had trouble everytime I closed the solution, as the file .user files could not be saved. In addition, PlasticSCM attempted to check-in all the Resharper temporary files. Currently, I am deleting these files after I add the solution to PlasticSCM and then check the files in. Also, once I have done that, I set PlasticSCM to ignore the *.user files and the _Resharper.* folder.
3. Although I havent performed much branching and merging as of yet, I found the visualization tools pretty cool

Some useful tips:

First thing to do is set PlasticSCM as the current Source Control Provider:

Next open up a solution that you want to put into source-control. Right click on the solution and select the “Add to source control” item.

This will bring up the New-Workspace dialog. Create a new repository for your solution (click New).

 

When you click on OK, it will automatically add the solution into PlasticSCM (into the newly created repository).

Now bring up the PlasticSCM client application (via the Start Menu).

You will find that a new Workspace has been created for the solution:

Click on the Items node in the left pane and then ensure that all the files that should be under source-control, show up with a status of “Controlled”.

You do this by selecting any item that is setup as “private” and select the “Add to source control” option.

Your final step is to check in all the files. This is done by selecting the “Pending Changes” option in the left pane and then clicking the “Check-in” button.

That’s it. Your solution is now under source-control.

What does PlasticSCM check-ins look like?

Here is an example: I had a main branch. I created 2 separate branches from main to represent 2 sets of changes that I wanted to make: Add a multiplication feature task and Add a division feature task. Both of these features were to be added to a single change-set in main (the most current changeset).

The 2 features represent coding tasks that 2 separate developers may be involved with. Once the 2 features are completed they are checked into their respective branches. After the features are checked into the branches, the branches are merged one by one into the main line.

And here is what the above scenario looks like:

Some final thoughts:

1. There doesn’t seem to be any in client help for PlasticSCM. So many times I had to go about exploring trying to attempt to do various tasks in PlasticSCM (for example setting the current workspace – there doesn’t seem to be a way to do this in the branch-explorer. Instead you do it via the Branches view).
2. During merges, I found that PlasticSCM didn’t do a lot of stuff automatically. I was always provided a diff/merge view (which was very beautiful in its rendering), and had to manually accept the merges. On large projects, this will become quite painful for the person incharge of merging various changesets into the main-line.
3. I definitely like PlasticSCM and will continue testing it out on my personal projects. I think it will be cool for large teams, but I am not entirely sure whether it’s a good replacement for TFS (which we currently do use at work). I plan on figuring this out as I work more with PlasticSCM.

Installing DD-WRT on TP-Link TL-WR841N

TP-Link’s TL-WR841N router supports the DD-WRT firmware.

The installation process is simple:

Go to DD-WRT’s homepage and search for the router from the Router Database page. Although you will not find TL-WR841N firmware, you can use the TL-WR841ND files. My router uses v7, so that’s the version of the firmware that I downloaded.

You can use the following link to download the files (if you are using v7 of the router):

http://dd-wrt.com/routerdb/de/download/TP-Link/WR841ND/7.0/factory-to-ddwrt.bin/3849
http://dd-wrt.com/routerdb/de/download/TP-Link/WR841ND/7.0/tl-wr841nd-webflash.bin/3850

Upgrading the router’s firmware is simple: (Remember, when upgrading firmware, always be connected to your router through an ethernet cable, as you will loose WiFi connectivity once the firmware has been updated. After the update, you will have to reset your wifi settings).

Under System Tools, select the “Firmware upgrade” link

Choose the “Factory-To-DDWRT.bin” file that you just downloaded and click the upgrade button. Wait for about 5 minutes. DD-WRT should be installed and should come up if you browse to http://192.168.1.1/

Next go to the DD-WRT Administration page and select the Firmware tab. Install the 2nd firmware update file “TL-WR841ND-Webflash.bin” that you downloaded.

That’s it – you now have TL-WR841N v7.0 running DD-WRT firmware.

The final step will be for you to go through the setup process and define your Wifi settings.

Reverting to TP-Link’s firmware:

If you need to revert to TP-Link’s firmware, then you need to download the appropriate file from: “http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=85237&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=5”. Remember, to be able to download the file you need to create an account on that website. (After creating the account and logging in via the Quick Links button, you should see the file download link).

Download and unzip the contents of the “WR841Nv7_webrevert.rar” file. You will find a bin file within the RAR file. Go to DD-WRT and use the upgrade option to upload the “wr841nv7_webrevert.bin” file. After clicking the upgrade button, you will have to wait about 5 minutes for the router to reboot and complete installation.

After you have reverted the firmware, download the latest TP-Link firmware from TP-Link’s website and upgrade the firmware to that version.

Shape Catcher–Unicode character recognition

Came across ShapeCatcher, a useful site that allows you to draw a shape and it suggests different unicode characters that match that shape. Definitely beats looking through Window’s CharacterMap looking for that font that looks like a clock.

Setting up FTP under Windows Server 2008 R2 with user-isolation

In Windows Server 2008 R2. (Important these are not steps for a production environment. Just for setting up a test FTP server.)
In Server Manager:
Under Roles, click Add Role
    install FTP
        Under roles - add Web Server (IIS)
            Under role services select FTP Server
        Complete the installation
In IIS: Create a FTP Site:  
    Right click on Sites and select Add FTP Site

        Name it: Whatever you like
        Path: C:\inetpub\ftproot

    Bindings and SSL Settings
        Select No SSL


    Authentication information
        Select Basic authentication
            Select Allow access to "All users" with Read and Write permissions

    Finish the FTP creation wizard
   
Under settings for the FTP site (in IIS)
    Select FTP User Isolation
        Select "User name directory (disable global virtual directories)"


   
Accounts:
Create local user accounts (this is how users get access to the FTP site (or at least one way how you can provide access to your ftp site)). (example: create a local account named FtpUser1)
Create a group called FTPUsers and add user accounts created above to the group. (it makes it easier to provide access to folders as shown in the next step).
Provide the group you created in the above step (FTPUsers) modify priviledges on C:\inetpub\ftproot
Next create a sub-folder called LocalUser (C:\inetpub\ftproot\LocalUser). (important to name it exactly that).  
Create a folders for each of the user accounts you created above (eg: if you created an account call FtpUser1, create a folder under LocalUser called FtpUser1).

Test:
Test access to your FTP site via your favorite FTP client. If you did everything correctly, you should have a valid FTP site with an account setup.

FTP 7.5 on Windows Server 2008 R2

If you search for enabling FTP on Windows Server 2008, you most often get redirected to the following site:

http://www.iis.net/download/FTP

And if you download that FTP7.5 installer referenced on that page and try and run it, you get the following error:

(this version of the operating system is not supported. FTP Service for IIS 7.0 can be installed only on Windows Server 2008).

Turns out that, for Windows Server 2008 R2, you don’t need to download a separate installer. You just need to enable the FTP role. (This is because on Windows Server 2008 R2, you get IIS 7.5 and not IIS 7.0).

Powershell–Run script via context menu

I wanted the ability to right click on a PS1 file and then execute a powershell script. (A “run powershell script” from Context-Menu option)

So here is how you can do it:

Copy the following text into a text file and save it:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\Shell\Run with powershell] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\Shell\Run with powershell\command] @="C:\\Windows\\system32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\powershell.exe -NoExit &'%1'"

Save the file and rename it to have an extension “.reg”. Now double click the file and you will have a context menu called “Run with powershell”

To make life easier you can download my version of the file from:

https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BzvtUeIvT94wMzg1MWRjZjEtZTUyNi00YTlkLWJhMDUtYjczMTljYzdmNmYy

SqlBulkCopy error: given value cannot be converted to type xxxx

If you get the following error when using SqlBulkCopy: “The given value of type String from the data source cannot be converted to type int of the specified target column.”

Then check for 2 things:

Make sure that you are not setting more characters than what is allowed for a field (i.e., column allows only 5 characters and you set the column to 6 characters).

If you are not setting all the columns, then make sure you use the “SqlBulkCopyColumnMapping”, to setup the mapping (especially true, when you are inserting rows and you are not setting the primary key value as its setup to be an identity column).

EntLib–Logging–SwitchValues

Here are the list of values that you can use for the SwitchValue for the configuration of the logging block in Enterprise Library.

Value	Description

C#–Loading dlls at runtime and finding classes that implement an interface

Given: An interface that you have defined:

public interface IMyPluginInterface
{
    int GetInteger();
}

When: Your application runs

Then: It should load dlls at run time and call GetInteger on all those classes that implement the interface IMyPluginInterface

Solution: Here is how you can do that:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    //find some dlls at runtime
    string[] dlls = Directory.GetFiles(Environment.CurrentDirectory, "MyPlugin*.dll");

    //loop through the found dlls and load them
    foreach (string dll in dlls)
    {
        System.Reflection.Assembly plugin = System.Reflection.Assembly.LoadFile(dll);
       
        //now find the classes that implement the interface IMyPluginInterface and get an object of that type
        var instances = from t in plugin.GetTypes()
                        where t.GetInterfaces().Contains(typeof(IMyPluginInterface))
                                 && t.GetConstructor(Type.EmptyTypes) != null
                        select Activator.CreateInstance(t) as IMyPluginInterface;

        //now call the GetInteger method defined by the interface
        foreach (var instance in instances)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(instance.GetInteger());
        }

    }

    Console.ReadLine();
}

public class MyPlugin1 : IMyPluginInterface
{
    public int GetInteger()
    {
        return 1;
    }
}

WP7–Hidden Wifi networks–Awesome Possum

Got to try out the new WP7 mango capability of being able to connect to hidden networks. It works. Nothing more to it. It was one of the features that I was waiting quite eagerly for.

It works…. Enuff said.

Awesome!

WP7–NeutralResourceLanguage attribute is missing

If you get the “Neutral Resource Language” attribute is missing when uploading a XAP during app-submission, then you need to set the Neutral Language.

The Neutral Language setting is set via the project properties under the Assembly Information dialog.

Important: Once you have uploaded your app, you cannot change the Neutral Language to setting that narrows the language set. (example: if your previous version was English, then you cannot select English (United States)).

The game doesn’t come with a printed manual. But you can find one on EA’s website: http://ea.custhelp.com/ci/fattach/get/785663/

IIS 7–listing sites and ports used

AppCmd.exe to the rescue (c:\windows\system32\inetserv\appcmd.exe)

The command “appcmd list site” will list all the sites (and in addition will display the bindings and the ports used by the sites)

C# debugging–an input message box

C# doesn’t have a convenient message-box that you can use for gathering user-input (which is especially useful when you are writing code for the purpose of debugging). VisualBasic has just such a form, which you can use in C#.

Add a reference to Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll

Use the following code:

Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction.InputBox("What would you like to do today?","To be or not to be","that is the question…");

Which creates a dialog like so:

Bayes Network and Bayes Rule

As explained by Sebastin Thrun in the AI course:

Bayes Rule:

Example:

Whats the likelihood that a person has cancer (A) given that they have had a positive cancer diagnostic test (B)?

• Likelihood: Probability of +ve cancer test (B) given that the person has cancer (A)
• Prior: Probability of getting that type of cancer (A)
• Marginal likelihood: Sum of probability of
  (+ve test given that you have the cancer x probability of having that cancer)
  (+ve test given that you don’t have the cancer (false positive) x probability of not having that cancer)

WP7 Mango–New features (part 1)

Some of the new features that I am discovering today…..

WP7 now has vision search:

1. Take a picture of the front cover of a book – and the phone recognizes the book and returns search results
2. Take a picture of the bar-code – and the phone searches the bar-code for results on the Internet
3. Take a picture of text within the book and:
   1. The phone performs OCR and you can select text from the page and then perform search
   2. The phone can translate the text to whole bunch of languages.

Another feature that I have been waiting for WP7 to get is the ability to add hidden networks.

Just go to the phone settings app and check under Wifi. Under the advanced options, you can now click the plus (+) button, to add hidden networks.

Sql-Server: Determining the status of a database

I needed to determine if a database was being restored or not. The easy way is to determine the status of the database using the following script:

select [name], databasepropertyex([name], 'Status') as Status
from sysdatabases
where [name] = 'DatabaseName'

If the database is being restored, then the status will state: RESTORING

Other valid values for Status are:

ONLINE = Database is available for query.
OFFLINE = Database was explicitly taken offline.
RESTORING = Database is being restored.
RECOVERING = Database is recovering and not yet ready for queries.
SUSPECT = Database did not recover.
EMERGENCY = Database is in an emergency, read-only state. Access is restricted to sysadmin members

C#–PriorityQueue Sample

I was reading up on Priority Queues and its been a while since I last implemented one. So I thought I would implement it in C#.

Not perfect code, but, it shows you how to implement a priority queue using a binary heap. Also, its implemented using generics, so it will support any kind of object you want to throw at it (as long as you implement IComparable). In addition, you can set the type of the PriorityQueue to be MinHeap or MaxHeap based.

Difference between composition and aggregation in terms of C#

Both composition and aggregations are types of associations.

An association is represented by an arrow:

An aggregation is represented by an hollow diamond:

And composition is represented by a filled in diamond:

Lets look at it in terms of a diagram: (taken from Kenny Lee’s blog)

Department is a composition, because its lifetime is dictated by the lifetime of the company object. (if a company ceases to exist, then the department ceases to exist). But on the other hand an employee is an aggregation, as a department if made up of employees, but if the department is shut down, the employees do not cease to exist. (they could get reassigned to other departments).

Here is what the code would look like in C#

public class Employee {     public string FirstName { get; set; }     public string LastName { get; set; } } public class Department : IEnumerable {     //employees is an agreggation of employees     private List<Employee> _employees = new List<Employee>();     public string Name { get; set; }     public void Add(Employee employee)     {         _employees.Add(employee);     }     public void Remove(Employee employee)     {         _employees.Remove(employee);     }     public Employee this[int index]     {         get { return _employees[index]; }     }     public System.Collections.IEnumerator GetEnumerator()     {         foreach (Employee employee in _employees)         {             yield return employee;         }     } } public class Company : IEnumerable, IDisposable //implementing IDisposable just to show departments lifetime is the same as Company's lifetime {     //departments is a composition.     //departments lifetime controlled by lifetime of Company     private Dictionary<string, Department> _departments = new Dictionary<string, Department>(); public Company(string[] departmentsToCreate)     {         Console.WriteLine("Creating the company and its departments");         foreach(string departmentToCreate in departmentsToCreate)         {             _departments.Add(departmentToCreate, new Department{Name = departmentToCreate});         }     }     public Department this[string departmentName]     {         get { return _departments[departmentName]; }     }     public void ReassignAndCloseDepartmentEmployees(string departmentToCloseName, string reassignmentDepartmentName)     {         Department fromDepartment = this[departmentToCloseName];         Department toDepartment = this[reassignmentDepartmentName];         foreach (Employee employee in fromDepartment)         {             toDepartment.Add(employee);         }         _departments.Remove(departmentToCloseName);     }     public System.Collections.IEnumerator GetEnumerator()     {         foreach (KeyValuePair<string, Department> departmentKvp in _departments)         {             yield return departmentKvp.Value;         }     } void IDisposable.Dispose()     {         Console.WriteLine("Company is being disposed, dispose departments too");         _departments.Clear(); //company is dead, departments are being killed, but employees live on         _departments = null;     } } public class Test {     void Main()     {         using (Company company = new Company(new string[] { "EIS", "Sales" }))         {             company["EIS"].Add(new Employee { FirstName = "Raj", LastName = "Rao" });             company["EIS"].Add(new Employee { FirstName = "Arnold", LastName = "Schwarzneger" });             company["Sales"].Add(new Employee { FirstName = "Steve", LastName = "Jobs" });             company["Sales"].Add(new Employee { FirstName = "Bill", LastName = "Gates" });             company.ReassignAndCloseDepartmentEmployees("Sales", "EIS");         }     } }

And here is what the output looks like (in LinqPad)
