Earlier this week, Teemu Keiski asked me if I knew of a way to check the memory consumption of AppDomains in a process. You may ask why there was multiple AppDomains in a process -- because the server that he was running the ASP.NET applications was Windows 2000. There has been quite a bit of guess work from my end of what could be going wrong and ...

To start off, I am fairly new to threading. One of the recent “module” requirements and other future “module” requirements caused enough reason to start a small framework for time-slotted batch services. Basically, the idea is to have a thread running one 'process' in a certain reoccuring time slot (let's say for every one ...

I just thought it would be beneficial to all if I comment on two comments that I recieved on my article about keeping scrollback position. Let's start off with the contridictary comment: Is this the same code as here, did Justin acknowledge Stanley Glass? Even though it is in VB. I am unsure. Just look at the date of my article and compare it ...

This has become a FAQ over the time and so I have decided to just write a darn blog post about it. With collection management during design-time is fairly easy. In fact, too easy. However, sooner or later, you would like to have a multi-dimension collection. Let's take for example: [ParseChildren(true, ''Tabs'')][PersistChildren(false)]public ...

One of things featured in the Alpha (Preview Release) is Pagination. How pagination works is the use of the ExecutePageReader method from the DbCommand class. In the Beta One release, the ExecutePageReader method is now obsolute. With the pagination, you can query what section of the data can be read from database. For example, you can say that ...

I was *just* about to write a huge article on the new page lifecycle for ASP.NET 2 when I ran across this diagram. I guess that a picture can describe more than a thousand words.

I am back! Ok, down to business -- we have all seen/heard (or done) moaning of converting C# code to VB.NET code. So there pops up a few conversion tools for converting C# to VB.NET code! But did anyone even consider the C# guys wanting a tool to convert all the VB.NET code to C#? I do not think so. However, there is something that was hiding ...

How to begin one of those blog posts that is ORIGINAL!? I have been waiting ever since I set up my blog to blog something that is originally geeky. That means new code that is absolutely new. Anyway, not to brag too much and to get on about it (as actions are better than words), here it goes: As you probably figured out by now, I ...

A while ago, I posted a blog post on how to do the server controls into collections. That blog post was not only a problematic one regarding the VS.NET designer but you would have noticed that those server controls are not given the full 'life' in the page cycle as noted by Auter (he does not know it there but he will know in this blog post ...

... I do! Lets take the common trend that all ISP's try to keep an oath by: 99.8% uptime. Right, let's calculate how many hours that they are allowed to go offline in a year: 24 * 365 = 8 760 hours in a year8750 * 0.2% = 18 hours are allowed for an ISP to be offline. And when you experience a downtime of 25 minutes per every week, you ...
