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...

Git - Update submodule

Sometimes in the large project when we separate it in different repositories we need to take reference of one repository in another where some the sub-module concepts. Now if we move our submodule to a different repository or renaming its repo-path then we've to also update the repository where this sub-module is getting referenced. Let's see how to update the git submodule.  Step-1: First clone the repo Step-2: Open git UI to create a new local branch from master  Step-3: Open git bash -- Now run below command to (remove submodules & add them):  -- Remove submodule git submodule deinit YOUR_FIRST_REPO git rm YOUR_FIRST_REPO git commit -m "Removed submodule YOUR_FIRST_REPO" rm -rf .git/modules/YOUR_FIRST_REPO -- Add submodule git submodule add <<..YOUR_FIRST_REPO git URL>> Step-4: All good, let's push our changes to the master

EFCore - Update command is not updating the underlying data

Why my update command using EFCore is not updating the underlying data in the database though in middle-tier code it's successful, not throwing any error? Let's try to get the root cause and how to solve this.  When creating the model class of related database object if the primary key name is Id then no need to explicitly mention the Key in ef-core OnModelCreating.  But if we've key name different from Id then we have to explicitly mention it in our OnModelCreating. Something like this:  entity.HasKey(c => new {c.CustId }); Assume in the database we've Customers table like this: CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Customers]( [CustId] [INT] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL Primary Key, [FirstName] [VARCHAR](50) NULL ) Point to ponder: In the database table, column CustId is already defined as Primary key.  In EFCore model setup, it's up to us to configure the Key as (custId) or configure it as HasNoKey() Assume we've set our entity with Ha...
