Delete all lines having specific word in Notepad++

Generally while creating entity for our documentDB collection/document, we used to add the JsonProperty() attribute to each & every field.
Now to create a similar DomainModel or ViewModel we used to copy this entity class & deleting all the lines with JsonProperty()

If our class contains more properties it looks very tedious task. What if we've something with which we can mark all the line having "JsonProperty" attribute then delete all those marked lines.

In Visual studio we don't have such extension, but we can achieve this using notepad++ editor.

here are the steps to remove all the lines contains specific word (e.g.: JsonProperty)

Copy your code to nodepad++
Ctrl + F & go to Mark tab
Enter your text here "JsonProperty"
Tick "Bookmark All" check-box and click on "Mark All"

This way all the line containing your specific work (e.g. JsonProperty) will get highlighted.

Now. Go to "Search" => "Bookmark" => "Remove Bookmarked Lines"

and we're done :)

Here are the above mentioned step-by-step process with screen shots

Copy your code to nodepad++

Ctrl + F & go to Mark tab
Enter your text here "JsonProperty"
Tick "Bookmark All" check-box and click on "Mark All"

verify your book-marked lines

Go to "Search" => "Bookmark" => "Remove Bookmarked Lines"

And all the lines containing specific words deleted

EFCore - Collate function

Search in SQL server query is generally case insensitive (by default or based on database level collation). Suppose we have an employees table with a row having first-name column value as "My-First-Name", so if we want to do the case-sensitive search we have to explicitly use the related collate: In EF 5 (currently in Release Candidate version [RC.2.20475.6]) Collate function got introduced which helps us to use our specific collation based search. C# with EF5 code sample: var employeeCaseSensitiveSearch = _dbContext.Employees .Where(x => EF.Functions.Collate(x.FirstName, "Latin1_General_CS_AS") == "my-first-name") .FirstOrDefault(); A related database query will be something like this: T-SQL: Case sensitive search (use specific collation e.g.: Latin1_General_CS_AS) SELECT * FROM dbo.Employees AS e WHERE e.FirstName Collate Latin1_General_CS_AS = 'my-first-name' Some of the useful CSharp function which g...

Azure SQL - AAD Authentication from you client application in user context

When we try to migrate our IaaS SQL to Azure SQL along with other code changes & refactoring, one of the most prominent things that come into the picture is Authentication through a client application (web app or windows form, excel-add-ins...). With IaaS/OnPrem SQL we could use Windows Authentication to let your client application interact with the SQL server with the user's context. But to Azure SQL we can't do the Windows Authentication and also we should avoid SQL-based login (user/password). To login to Azure SQL, it's always preferable to use Azure Active Directory-based authentication (integrated flow, MFA, or AAD based password). Now the problem comes how to achieve this with your client application. The solution to this problem statement is, u se AAD app with delegated permission to access the users' claim [email, sid] in access token & configure it based on your client (e.g. windows form, web application) Here are ...

EFCore - Scaffold-DbContext how to use

EFCore versions, we don't have GUI to manage the DB-entities & dbContext like we used to have with EF6 (or EF5/4 version). With EFCore we've the Scaffold-DbContext command which helps us to create entities & DB context from our DB-objects. Let's see how to use Scaffold-DbContext: Assume we're connecting with SQL Server so after creating a sample project you'll have to install EFCore related libraries as mentioned below. Install entity-framework-core for SQL Server, at this time 3.1.9 is the latest stable version Microsoft.EntityFrameworkcore Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer To use Scaffold-DbContext, following two NuGet packages are required Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design Let's say we've two DB tables (e.g. dbo.Employees & dbo.Users ) Now let's see how to use Scaffold-DbContext to create c-...
