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. I would say wait for it, but I know you are so excited to read the rest of this article that you can't function. And if you can't function, and I can't function, how is JavaScript gonna function? 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...

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...

Much better! Just a couple of words of warning: This CSS shorthand version will only work if you're specifying both the font-size and the font-family. Also, if you don't specify the font-weight, font-style, or font-varient then these values will automatically default to a 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...

A YUI DataTable Styled GridView(mattberseth.com)

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

Lately I have been spending more and more time browsing through the YUI Developer pages. I have worked exclusively with Microsoft's .Net Framework for the past 5 years, but I find it interesting to learn about other competing technologies as well (I even went so far to get certified on Sun's Java platform). I don't know if it is boredom or curiosity, but I generally find it interesting to see what tools, read more...

Silverlight’s niche, and its missing pie(fluxcapacity.net)

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

As it stands, I don’t see Silverlight as a Flash-killer. Flash is mature and still actively developed; Adobe recently opened up Flex (Flash development framework) as an open source project - perhaps intended to keep an edge over Silverlight in developers’ minds. That said, I want to make the claim that Silverlight 1.1 has the capability to outshine Flash/Flex for a certain class of CPU-intensive web applications, of which Fluxify is an example. For starters, you need to check out Alexey Gavrilov’s BubbleMark. The site compares Flash, Silverlight, and a bunch of different web platforms in terms of their performance at displaying some bouncing bubbles. read more...

Properly Abstracted List APIs (in C#) (mullr.wordpress.com)

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

We frequently encounter APIs that take lists of objects as parameters. The code behind the API will likely want to know something about those objects. It might sort them or extract some metadata and then process them. It may return a list of the objects with additional data. The question at hand is: how should the API get the data it needs about those objects? read more...

Building AJAX Enabled File Uploading System with Progress Bar Using AS(sswug.org)

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

Uploading files using ASP.NET Framework 1.0 / 2.0 / 3.0 is pretty easy. Without much error handling, all we need is a couple of lines of code to upload a file to the web server. Read my article which explains how to upload files using ASP.NET which was written four years back. AJAX is playing a greater role these days in every webpage that pops up. Uploading files using ASP.NET AJAX is not a straight forward one. Those who do know about AJAX, it is used to update some portions/sections of a web page without affecting other sections. In other words, if you do want to refresh your web page on a button click but you still want to update the content of your web page, then you should use AJAX. read more...
