I'll be presenting at the Northwest Ohio .NET User Group this evening at 6pm.  The talk will be a slightly modified version of my Black Belt ASP.NET Performance talk that I gave earlier this month at Tech Ed in Orlando.  According to their web site, the user group will also be giving away a Zune to one of the attendees of tonight's ...

I gave my Tech Ed presentation, ASP.NET Black Belt Performance Techniques, yesterday afternoon.  The talk was well-attended, with about 300 372in the audience.  I gave the talk last month in Cleveland and it was very well-received.  I promised attendees the slides and demos would be available on Tech Ed's CommNet, and right now ...

Last night I presented at the Cleveland .NET SIG on Black Belt ASP.NET Performance Techniques, which is a talk I'll be giving in a few weeks at Tech:Ed Developers in Orlando.  I was asked a couple of weeks ago if I could give a talk in May and I decided to do it so I could practice for TechEd.  Since this is a new talk for me (though ...

I'll be speaking at the Cleveland .NET SIG tomorrow night.  The topic is Black Belt Performance Tips for ASP.NET, which will be a dry run for a session by that same name I'll be giving next month at Tech:Ed Developers in Orlando.  Some of the primary areas covered will be advanced caching techniques and asynchronous programming ...

One problem I've noticed on a bunch of sites is a large amount of ViewState. I'm not going to sit here and explain all about ViewState. There are PLENTY of sources for information on that piece of technology. So in an extremely short description of what ViewState is I will say that, ''ViewState is a way of preserving the state of the 'Viewed' ...

One question that seems to come up often in the asp.net forums is from people who are trying to access controls within controls using templates. LoginViews and CreateUserWizard controls are two commonly used templated controls. These templated controls don't actually have their contents known until run-time because it is dependant on ...

I'm on dnrTV this week with a show about Caching in ASP.NET, one of my favorite topics.  I think the whole show is a bit under an hour and I go through a bunch of demos and show off some of the less-well-known features of caching, such as cache profiles, programmatic output cache invalidation, and the Substitution control that lets you have ...

I'm in the midst of wrapping up a multi-year long project to replace the advertising engine used to host sponsored ads on a few dozen .NET web sites.  This system traces its "lineage" back to an old ASP application written in 2001 (it served its first 207 impressions on 31 March 2001), and has since been upgraded to ASP.NET ...

I was honored to be asked to participate in a panel discussing ASP.NET Scalability at TechEd 2007 a couple of weeks ago.  The panel was moderated by Richard Campbell and Carl Franklin of DotNetRocks, and included Stephen Forte, Kent Alstad, Rob Howard, and myself. The recording of that discussion is now available here: ASP.NET Scalability ...
