Get last-modified header from response in ASP.NET(madskristensen.net)

submitted by mosessaurmosessaur(5424) 3 years ago

I’ve been working lately with some ASP.NET performance optimization automation HTTP modules. In one of them I needed to know if the last-modified header had been set through the Response.Cache.SetLastModified(DateTime) method. For some reason, there is no API available anywhere within the BCL to retrieve the last modified date of a response – you can only set it. Since the module wouldn’t work without a way to read the last modified date of the response, I had to use Reflector to figure out how to pull the information out using reflection. The result became a simple little method to retrieve the date read more...

Automatically minify and combine JavaScript in Visual Studio(encosia.com)

submitted by gt1329agt1329a(7849) 3 years ago

As you begin developing more complex client-side functionality, managing the size and shape of your JavaScript includes becomes a key concern. It’s all too easy to accidentally end up with hundreds of kilobytes of JavaScript spread across many separate HTTP requests, significantly slowing down your initial page loads. I hope you’ll find that this technique is a good compromise between the tedium of using manual minification tools and the overwrought complexity of setting up some of the more “enterprisey” automation solutions. read more...

ASP.NET MVC Domain Routing(blog.maartenballiauw.be)

submitted by maartenbamaartenba(5845) 3 years ago

Ever since the release of ASP.NET MVC and its routing engine (System.Web.Routing), Microsoft has been trying to convince us that you have full control over your URL and routing. This is true to a certain extent: as long as it’s related to your application path, everything works out nicely. If you need to take care of data tokens in your (sub)domain, you’re screwed by default. read more...

Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1 for MSDN Subscribers(vistadb.net)

submitted by vistadbvistadb(879) 3 years ago

Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1 is now on MSDN along with .Net 4 Beta 1. Some highlights from the information: .Net 4.0 Cloud Development - Windows Azure which is basically utility computing where you pay by the hour for your usage. Parallel Development - Not sure if this only means PLINQ for .Net developers or if they are only talking about C++ devs. TDD Improvements - Editor changes for building test cases first, and then writing the code. ASP.NET - CSS grids and design surfaces changes, more Javascript debugging improvements. C++ Compiler - Lots of changes for C++ development, including MFC. Sharepoint templates New Project Templates Windows 7 - MFC updates for Ribbon UI, and WPF changes. Application Model Changes - Reverse existing codebases, and lots of changes in Architect Edition to support more model types (including Class Libraries finally). Test Runner - This is potentially huge as it allows testers to submit bug reports complete with callstacks and traces that you can actually use to resume an app at the error point to avoid the dreaded No Repro on bug reports. I have seen this demo and it is quite impressive. We will see how it actually works though. read more...
