Large or asynchronous file uploads in ASP.NET MVC(dimebrain.com)

submitted by johnsheehan(4785) 2 years, 4 months ago

The challenge of uploading large files in ASP.NET through HTTP is not a new challenge. In addition to handling large files, users often request an experience that shows the progress of an upload as it occurs. When you have either or both of these requirements, or if you simply need direct control of a stream of file data uploaded from a browser, you invariably hit the wall. I set about solving the problem in an ASP.NET MVC-specific way. read more...

submitted by pinaldave(9662) 2 years, 4 months ago

In the IT world, but not among experienced DBAs, there has been a long-standing myth that the Oracle database platform is more stable and more secure than SQL Server from Microsoft. This is due to a variety of reasons; but in my opinion, the main ones are listed below: Read the whole article read more...

Windows 7 Optimizations on Solid State Drives(blogs.msdn.com)

submitted by zhiming(1135) 2 years, 4 months ago

Be default, Windows 7 disables Superfetch, ReadyBoost, as well as boot and application launch prefetching on Solid State Drives (SSD) with good random read, random write and flush performance. These technologies were all designed to improve performance on traditional hard disk drives (HDD), where random read performance could easily be a major bottleneck. Because of the design changes, Windows 7 powered PCs with SSDs run fast. To understand how these design changes improve overall system performance, read this team blog post by the Windows 7 product group. read more...

Design Patterns – Which to use When? Take the Quiz!(dotnetcube.com)

submitted by dncdude(1350) 2 years, 7 months ago

I received several questions on how to pick a Design Pattern, which motivated me to write this post. As it was mentioned in the Design Patterns overview article, there is no rule of thumb in selecting a Design Pattern. Developers should not choose a design pattern and design a solution around it. Instead they need to analyze at a higher level, the problem they are attempting to solve and pick a Design Pattern that is most appropriate. read more...

Fun with Func<T,TResult> Delegates, Events and Async Operations(west-wind.com)

submitted by rstrahl(7226) 2 years, 7 months ago

Delegates are powerful for event handling, highly useful in LINQ and a core requirement for async operations. Func<T> makes using delegate based logic a lot easier by providing a generic implemenation that in many cases allows you to skip creation of a separate delegate and instead just point at the Func<T> definition which can be a big timesaver and a nice way to remove delegate defintions from your namespaces. read more...

Fault Tollerance in Windows Azure(blogs.msdn.com)

submitted by wzack(1968) 2 years, 7 months ago

Ever since we announced Windows Azure there has been speculation about how reliable it will be and how we will insure that your application will continue to operate reliably in the face of changes to your application or the underlying software. Although we did say that we use multiple role instances and update domains to insure that your allocation has no single point of failure it was not until recently that we exposed more of the details of how this will work Now we have published the documentation on how this will work. read more...
