IIS Windows Authentication/Delegation issue with C# Parallel Tasks

When you use double-hop authentication (WebBrowser->IIS->SQL Server) code executed on the webserver inside Parallel.Invoke() or Task.Factory.StartNew() is no longer executed as authenticated user (domain\username) but is being changed to (domain\iisservername$). You can see it in Environment.UserName when debuging. So if you're executing any SQL queries as Tasks you might get permission denied errors. The way to fix it is to pass custom TaskScheduler from CurrentSynchronizationContext Parallel.Invoke( new ParallelOptions() { TaskScheduler = TaskScheduler.FromCurrentSynchronizationContext() }, () => { /*do something here;*/ }, ); Task.Factory.StartNew( () => { /*do something here;*/ }, CancellationToken.None, TaskCreationOptions.None, TaskScheduler.FromCurrentSynchronizationContext() ); This is a good article about SynchronizationContext It's All About the SynchronizationContext

C# Convert double to decimal

This is a workaround to Convert.ToDecimal(Double) limitation of 15 significant digits by using ‘R’ Round-trip Format Specifier . Convert.ToDecimal Method (Double) “The Decimal value returned by this method contains a maximum of 15 significant digits. If the value parameter contains more than 15 significant digits, it is rounded using rounding to nearest. The following example illustrates how the Convert.ToDecimal(Double) method uses rounding to nearest to return a Decimal value with 15 significant digits.” decimal .Parse(dbl.ToString(" R ")) [Test] public void ConvertDoubleToDecimal() { Compare(1.00000000000006d, 1.00000000000006M); Compare(1.00000000000004d, 1.00000000000004M); Compare(1.000000000000066d, 1.000000000000066M); Compare(1.000000000000044d, 1.000000000000044M); } private void Compare( double dbl, decimal dec) { Convert.ToDecimal(" 0.d0d.
