Converting Datatable to List of Objects in CSharp

Fri, 10 Aug 2018 19:29:30 +1000

There are many cases where we will have to convert Dataset into list of objects. Below is a generic method using reflection to achieve that.

Below will work only if datatable column name and class property name are same and they match exactly.


using System.Reflection
internal static List<T> ConvertDataTableToList<T>(DataTable dt)
{
 List<T> data = new List<T>();
 foreach (DataRow row in dt.Rows)
 {
 T item = GetItem<T>(row);
 data.Add(item);
 }
 return data;
}
internal static T GetItem<T>(DataRow dr)
{
 Type temp = typeof(T);
 T obj = Activator.CreateInstance<T>();

 foreach (DataColumn column in dr.Table.Columns)
 {
 foreach (PropertyInfo pro in temp.GetProperties())
 {
 if (pro.Name == column.ColumnName)
 pro.SetValue(obj, dr[column.ColumnName], null);
 else
 continue;
 }
 }
 return obj;
}

Usage of this will be like below

Highlights of past one month

I was not active in this blog over past one month due to multiple reasons - both personal and professional. Following are some highlights over past one month.

ISTQB Test Automation Engineer

As mentioned in previous post, I had a chance to attend ANZTB SIGiST conference in August 2017. There were some good talks about various certifications offered by ISTQB/ANZTB. ISTQB Test Automation Engineer was one among them. I decided to give that a try . Spend some time over past one month to prepare based on the syllabus and I gave it a shot. Fortunately, I passed the exam with good marks

Extracting Substring using Javascript

Fri, 21 Jul 2017 06:09:53 +1000

In previous blogs here , I have explained how we return a XML response using mountebank. However , most of the time, we will have to make some modification to the template response before returning a response. Say for example, we may have to replace details like timestamp, or use an input from request parameter and update that in response etc.

One of the easiest way to do this without using other frameworks like xml2js etc is to extract the substring between the node values and replace it . Below is a code snippet which will help to achieve this

UI Testing- decoupling back end dependency

Sun, 12 Feb 2017 07:41:43 +1000

The traditional approach for automating UI test cases is to create selenium web driver based ( or any UI testing tools) scripts for exercising complete end to end flow. However, it comes with its own challenges. It will have multiple steps as pre-requiste for reaching required UI page and hence it behaves as an E2E integration test rather than UI test.

A typical web application architecture will have one or more front-end application, which will talk to multiple back-end services, API’s etc. They will, in turn, talk to other back-end services or to different databases. On High level , architecture looks like below

Nunit Assert

Mon, 22 Aug 2016 20:55:39 +1000

Assert.AreEqual vs Assert.AreSame

Very frequently I use Assert.AreEqual and Assert.AreSame for doing assertions in the code. Below is high level difference between both.

Assert.AreSame

Assert.AreSame checks whether both comparing objects are exactly the same ( reference indicate same object in memory) .It is normally known as Reference Equality

Assert.AreEqual

Assert.AreEqual checks whether both objects contain same value. It is normally known as Value Equality. For primitive value types ( like int, bool) this is straight forward. But for other types ( especially user defined objects) , it is depends on how the type defines equality.
