In the two previous blog posts I showed how to unit test and ASP.NET WebAPI controller and how to unit test the client side code depending on the HttpClient class . Both unit tests are perfectly valid but as so often just adding unit tests can be deceptive. After all testing an ApiController by just calling the methods makes it perfectly possible to call them in such a way that would never be possible using a real HTTP request.

As you’re probably aware, Windows Azure IaaS went general availability recently. There are three BizTalk images in the gallery that you use to create a new BizTalk virtual machine. This was too much for me to resist, I wanted to do something cool and distributed as a proof-of-concept. The result is this blog post, and the accompanying video that shows the demo running . To get to the bottom line, I used 2 BizTalk VMs on Azure, and 1 running “on prem” (in a Hyper-V VM). The roles of the servers are...

In a previous post I showed how to unit test an ASP.NET WebAPI Controller. But with a REST service there is both a client and a service component. Assuming for a moment the client part is also written in C# we should test that as well. In this case the client application contains the following class to load books from the REST WebAPI controller: 1: public class BooksClient 2: { 3: private readonly HttpClient _httpClient; 4:   5: public BooksClient(HttpClient httpClient) 6: { 7: _httpClient ...

My scenario is to create a […] Blog Post by: zamd

I was playing with the Authorization code grant type recently added to Azure Active directory however there is bug in the preview implementation which prevents exchange an ‘authorization code’ with an access token. I can get the authorization code for graph api by using following url in the browser. https://login.windows.net/69383356-56dd-4e78-a18e-a4ff5450c995/oauth2/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=9f030b74-1ec1-4b6b-8911-f4e6e465ff9d&resource=https://graph.windows.net&api-version...
