LINQ and SQLCLR(mtaulty.com)

submitted by findmecool(600) 4 years, 6 months ago

One of the requests/questions that I heard a few times at TechEd Europe was "When can we use LINQ inside of SQL Server?". I must admit that I hadn't really thought about this very much because I tend to think of writing SQL Server procedures, functions, etc. as largely being done in T-SQL. I know that there are cases when CLR makes sense but I think of it as happening a lot less frequently than the T-SQL case. read more...

Performance Improvements in Visual C++(blogs.msdn.com)

submitted by findmecool(600) 4 years, 6 months ago

Hi, my name is Jim Springfield, and I’m an architect on the Visual C++ team. I recently spent two months working on some core improvements to how VC deals with Intellisense as well as overall UI responsiveness. We observed a strong correlation between the severity of these performance issues and the size of the projects and solutions exhibiting these problems. As a result, we worked closely with some large ISV customers who were reporting problems with our IDE. These customers typically had solutions with over a hundred projects comprising thousands of files. While I can’t identify them by full name, I read more...

Introducing JavaScript Functions and Loops (devarticles.com)

submitted by findmecool(600) 4 years, 6 months ago

Today, you will learn about functions from a man who can barely function, because it is 8:48 in the morning and my soda has yet to kick in.

Well, you'll have to keep reading to find out. read more...

Flexible and Efficient HTML/CSS Form Layout(2tbsp.com)

submitted by findmecool(600) 4 years, 6 months ago

HTML 4's fieldset, legend, and label tags took longer to find their way into my toolbox than I'd care to admit. In fact, it took Dreamweaver's use of them for form design a few years back to bring them to my attention. Since then I've combined several useful tips from experts to create my own standard form layout style sheet. I'll share my thoughts behind my form style sheet, basic usage examples, and the HTML and CSS source for you to download and try. read more...

Standing on the Shoulders of Giants(devlicio.us)

submitted by billy(410) 4 years, 6 months ago

To improve impressions of mainstream software development - which, presumably, should be based upon the foundations of computer science - it comes upon the shoulders of each developer to educate him or herself with the knowledge necessary to give this discipline proper attention. Developers cannot push off this responsibility to management or "the priority setters." It is up to each of us to give software development the respect it deserves and educate those around us, accordingly. read more...

Path Finding Using A* in C# 3.0, Part (blogs.msdn.com)

submitted by findmecool(600) 4 years, 7 months ago

In order to make the A* algorithm work we need to get the lowest-estimated-cost-path-discovered-so-far out of the list of paths under consideration. The standard data structure for doing so is called a “priority queue”. Priority queues are so-called because they are typically used to store a list of jobs where each job has an associated priority. read more...

Is your UserControl sluggish at loading?(blogs.msdn.com)

submitted by findmecool(600) 4 years, 7 months ago

Here's an interesting story about performance I had the chance to work on over the last couple of weeks. The object of the call was a UserControl embedded in Internet Explorer, which was very slow to load the first time you browsed the page, but then was performing quite well after that long delay (around 60 seconds); unfortunately closing and reopening the browser caused another 60 seconds delay, which was quite bothering if not frustrating for end users... As you can imagine the control needs to be downloaded, JIT compiled and loaded which of course requires some time depending on how big is the control, how fast (or slow) the Internet connection, how powerful the client etc..., but those 60 seconds where definitely too much. Moreover on Vista we were prompted to run csc.exe and under some circumstances (usually if IE was not run as Administrator) we got a FileNotFoundException. read more...

.NET framework VS the CLR(kinnie.blogspot.com)

submitted by findmecool(600) 4 years, 7 months ago

The .NET Framework has been RTM'ed in November 2006 (almost 1 year!), but there still seems to be a lot of confusion about the Framework. A lot of people still don't realise that the .NET Framework still uses the 2.0 version of the Common Language Runtime (CLR). Since this additive release to the .NET Framework, the CLR version number is no longer coupled to the .NET Framework version number. As a result, the 3.0 Framework is completely backward compatible with the earlier version and your 2.0 based applications will continue to run without modifications. read more...
