• Architecture Architecture options for running a long process from an ASP.NET website

  Hi, We currently have a solution where a user can upload a file, which gets processed in an ASP.NET v1.1 intranet website The solution was designed to handle 10-100 items, but customers have (ab)used the solution to process 1000-10000 items. Processing 100 items takes less then a minute, processing 1000 items takes around 7 minutes, larger uploads take (non-linear) longer. Now besides performance tuning the processing, I want to gather feedback on what is the best strategy to take the upload and have it process 'asynchronously'. After the upload, the user would immediatly get a status page which would refresh itself (every so often). So I have a few questions about what would be the best route to go about 1) Which process to ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Geometry Shader Performance

  Hello Everyone, This is a fairly generic question, and I promise it may sound like a hardward question at first, but it's not really. Does anyone else notice how slow some of the DX10 samples in the Feb SDK are Specifically those that employ the geometry shader such as the displacement mapped lizard and the example of how to do cube mapping in one pass (when you check "Render Car") They are dramatically slower than other DX10 and DX9 samples. I was shocked when I ran them. Do you think this is because the DX10 SDK/API is in it's infancy Or the hardware/drivers are still too young I'd ask this in a hardware forum but most of those guys don't know anything specific to the SDK or programming, just the buzz words and marke ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista under Vista, Studio 2005 is crashing only on somes solutions

  Hi, Since a couple of days, I encounter a strange behaviour under Studio 2005 C++. When I try to load somes previously created solutions, projects reloading perfectly but 1 or 2 seconds after items are displayed in the solution explorer, Studio crash. But strangely, all others solutions opens without any problem. I think the pb. come from Intellisense which is confused by some of my C/C++ files. But more strangley : I can't reproduce this bug on XP. So I guess that the problem come from the Vista + VS2005 combo . I'm rather irritated because, the trial period for Vista is very short, so I will not be able to test it anymore and report feedback. For now, disapointedly I switched back to XP. The bug occurs with the Express version of VS2005, ...Show All

• Windows Forms adding a user control to the Toolbox

  I am having problems adding a user control to the Toolbox in the .NET environment. How do I do this Thanks for any help. Bruce For some reason, in my .NET environment, I do not have the "Add Item ..." option when I right-click on a tab in the toolbox. The only way I have found so far to add a user control to my Toolbox is to right-click on a Toolbox tab, choose "Customize Toolbox ...", then browse for the .dll of my user control and add it under the .NET Framework Components tab. There must be a more straightforward way to do it. How can I get the "Add Item ..." option added to the popup menu for the Toolbox Bruce ...Show All

• Visual C# Detecting changes for "Save" and "Save As..." purposes

  I have a base abstract class that contains a generic dictionary. All of the derived concrete classes inherit this dictionary. The Value of the dictionary is of the base class Type. This is to allow adding/deleting of derived types. Ok, what I would like to do, is detect when changes have been made in the object model, so that I can implement a "Save" and "Save As..." method. What is available out there that allows me to do something like this Basically, I have two main classes in my object model, let's just call them Class1 and Class2. Each class contains a Generic Dictionary with the value being that of the other class. This is so that users can call a .Add() method and are able to add Class1 objects to Class2 ...Show All
