One of the frequently asked questions at the India Windows Communication Foundation Tour was how does WCF scale as compared to existing technologies, like ASMX? Will WCF services be more scalable than the ones we author today? What do we have to do for better scale? I thought of doing some very basic performance tests to get some data for these questions. The test was done to compare how ASP.NET 2.0 WebServices perform against WCF services. I did these tests on my machine which has 2GB RAM, 60GB...
[Original Post Date: 23rd November 2005] I just concluded the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) India Tour after two weeks in 4 cities. Download: Presentations from here Demos (based upon Indigo Beta 1 and VS 2005 Beta 2) from here...

[Original Post Date: 25th September 2005] I am currently on the Technology Roadshow across 6 six cities in India, where I am talking about Building performant applications and Debugging Techniques for .NET Framework 2.0. One of the things the developers here are amazed at are the DataTips that have been introduced with VS 2005, and also with Visualizers. Infact, when I demonstrate the DataSet Visualizer that ships with VS 2005, you can hear the WOW! of the audience :) In the same session, we then...
I just finished implementing DTVisualizer, my image visualizer for VS 2005 debugger. It allows you to view images, like the Bitmap class references, in a more natural manner. Here's how the visualizer gets activated when it comes across an image in a debugging session: And here's how you get to view the image: You can download the visualizer from http://www.wintoolzone.com/...
I have just finished exploring the new Compression APIs under Whidbey Beta 1, System.IO.Compression namespace and have built a little compression/decompression application, MGZip, using the same. It's available for download, with source code (it's VS 2005 Solution), from http://www.wintoolzone.com/...
Anyone who has worked with .NET Compact Framework for sometime will know that the IrDA support is provided by the same - you can write applications that can act as IrDA listeners or clients - basically, do whatever you want using IrDA as long as you are using the .NET Compact Framework. But, how about using IrDA in regular WinForms applications? Well, until I just stumbled upon the trick I will just tell you [it's really a no-brainer], one would need to write WinSock based IrDA applications for the...
After a long time, I have restarted working on the .NET Compact Framework end. And last night, I finished working on IrDAList, a PocketPC 2003 based application that will enumerate IrDA connected devices and will display their details. You can download it from http://www.wintoolzone.com/... BTW, just incase while you are developing using VS 2005 for .NET CF and your deployments to the emulator fail, install the Loopback adapter and configure the Emulator Options to bind...
.. and now I find time to do something I like doing a lot - exploring the technology. VS 2005 Beta 1 [build 40607.16] was already on my laptop and my attempt to install SQL Server 2005 Beta 2 RC 1[ build 9.00.0852] gave me an error - that I have an incompatible CLR version. Couple of checks and am in the process of installing it... Ofcourse, VS has been uninstalled and for now, SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 Beta 2 [RC1] are coexisting just fine. BTW, the distributed application designer in...
I had been waiting for ClickOnce to finally work in the latest Community TechnPreview of VS 2005 and it does [May 2004 Edition]! For starters, this is the upcoming technology that will be based out of the next version of the CLR [implying will require .NET Framework 2.0] and will ease the deployment strategy for Smart Client application. It shares the philosophy of no-touch deployment, but goes beyond it and will be extended even more in the Longhorn time frame. The idea is really simple: 1) Build...
So yesterday I finally got hold of the May 2004 Community TechPreview of VS 2005 and installed it in VPC. Its looks good and quite stable over the March edition. Plus, I see support for Quality, Performance and more... I want to try ClickOnce... it was broken in the March edition. Will update on that. Also, this version has support for Visual Studio Team System that has been creating waves. Will keep updated on that as well. And lots more is happening that's keeping me busy. I was on MSDN Yatra (the...
When working with Iterators in the PDC build of VS Whidbey, one would implement an Iterator as shown below: public IEnumerator GetEnumerator(){ while(index<count) yield arrData[index++];} This has changed to the following in the VS 2005 Technical Preview: public IEnumerator GetEnumerator(){ while(index<count) yield return arrData[index++];} There is the addition of the return keyword...
