.NET CF Performance Best Practices (jsprunger.com)

submitted by dayman(35) 1 day, 1 hour ago

The impact of performance is much more readily apparent in .NET Compact Framework applications. The mobile devices commonly have a CPU that is 10 times slower than your desktop CPU, and possibly up to 100 times less RAM than a desktop or server. In Agile or XP development, the mantra is often to ignore performance considerations until necessary – I don’t think you can apply that to .NET CF... read more...

submitted by joelmartinez(5) 1 day, 8 hours ago

... We needed a way to have multiple transaction scopes, each with different conditions of success or failure. I started thinking about how to accomplish this, and decided to write my own implementation which mimics the TransactionScope, but lets me control things a bit closer. So I came up with a class which can be used like this ... read more...

Generating Structured Text with StringTemplate (www.codecapers.com)

submitted by mceranski(115) 1 day, 9 hours ago

StringTemplate is a powerful tool that can be used to generate source code, web pages, emails, or any other formatted text output. Although StringTemplate was originally written in Java it has been ported to C#, Python and Ruby. My first encounter with StringTemplate was a few years ago when I needed to build a complex deployment script for setting up new SQL Server instances. The script needed to configure operators, alerts, SQL mail and also create a few basic jobs. The most important requirement was that the template could be easily changed without recompiling any code or needing any advanced knowledge of programming. Luckily, StringTemplate meets all these requirements. read more...

JSON Performance in .NET with Binary Data (testing...) (james.newtonking.com)

published 1 day, 8 hours ago, submitted by JamesNK(2955) 2 days, 19 hours ago

Binary data and text file formats (JSON, XML) don’t tend get along. To be included in JSON or XML binary data has to be encode into a text friendly format, generally base64, which creates overhead both in the time spent encoding/decoding binary, and the extra size of the text encoded data in the message. In our test we’ll compare serializing a message with binary data using common .NET serialization methods and compare the result. read more...

Painless Caching, Memoization for .NET (explodingcoder.com)

submitted by spoulson(255) 4 days, 9 hours ago

When searching for .NET discussions of I-don't-even-remember, I somehow came across Dustin Campbell's blog post about automatic memoization with C#. I instantly remembered first reading about this topic in Higher Order Perl, which at the time introduced me to this handy technique using the delegate pattern. After looking over Dustin's code, I liked the simplicity of wrapping any delegate with a single method call. This makes for an academic discussion, but I thought this could be much more practical if we abstracted the concept a bit more. read more...
