Robocopy

-

Basic usage of robocopy – there are a lot more options, but this is what I find useful:

robocopy c:\temp\input\ c:\temp\output\ /E /COPY:DAT /DCOPY:DAT /XF excl1.* /XF excl2.* /XD excl* /MIR
  • /E will include subdirectories
  • /COPY uses DAT by default (Data, Attributes, Timestamps)
  • /DCOPY uses DA by default
  • /MIR will delete items that are in the target but not the source

C# Record Serialization

-

With .NET 5, you get a new concept called record . Lots of cool things, one of which is that you can serialize and deserialize with JSON just like a class, except you don't need to define properties one at a time, or even the body of the type. Apparently XML serialization doesn't quite work, so stick with JSON. View code on GitHub

Read/write large blob to SQL Server from C#

-
Rather than try to make it happen in one big command, here’s breaking it out into many commands. Whether or not you use the transaction is up to you and your use case – you could always have a “Completed” column and only set that to true after success, if you wanted to skip a transaction. First, insert a record, leaving the blob column as an empty byte array, making sure you have access to the primary key of the record you just inserted: using var conn = new SqlConnection ( _config . GetConnectionString ( " MyDB " ) ) ; await conn . OpenAsync ( ) . ConfigureAwait ( false ) ; using var tran = ( SqlTransaction ) await conn . BeginTransactionAsync ( ) ; int fileID ; using ( var comm = conn . CreateCommand ( ) ) { comm . Transaction = tran ; comm . CommandText = @"         insert dbo.Files (FileName, FileContents)         values (@FileName, 0x);      ...
