Making cross domain web requests in asp.net with medium trust enabled

Mon, 08 Dec 2008 00:52:56 GMT

There could be plenty of reasons that you might need to do a cross domain web request in your application. One could be let's say you want to divert the resource pressure from your server to some third party provider like Amazon S3. In my last post I have mentioned a bit about uploading content using WSE to S3 server.

Expose New Linq Operations from the HashSet<T> Performance Monster

Wed, 10 Sep 2008 01:46:02 GMT

Linq is not just about databases. It's about reading the registry, your hard-disk, or even a list of function pointers to be invoked. Linq is about more event then sets (collections). It's about making tasks easier in many cases and vastly more powerful (and most importantly your code more readable and maintainable at the same time). It's astounding just how fast the HashSet<T> collection is. This post will show how to gain additional power that is fully supported from Microsoft which is often overlooked, yet it can solve some of the hardest problems (especially around performance however don't prematurely optimize!).

MDX Named Sets in SQL Server 2005/2008

Thu, 20 Mar 2008 20:46:09 GMT

An MDX Named Set is a list of members, based on some pre-defined retrieval logic. You may have a named set that lists your Customers in zip code order or products sold for 2005 in sales order amount. Since an MDX Named Set is simply an MDX expression, you could create a more complex Named Set using other MDX functions like DESCENDANTS to build a list of members from a customer geography, starting at a certain level (Region) down to another level (Market).

New T-SQL Capabilities in SQL Server 2005 - Part 3 of 3

Thu, 26 Apr 2007 12:16:01 GMT

In last month's article, I covered the new APPLY operator, Ranking functions, and the new TRY...CATCH capabilties in T-SQL 2005. This month I'll talk about two of the largest enhancements in the SQL 2005 language - Common Table Expressions (CTEs) and Recursive Queries. Both fo these are part of the SQL-99 standard. CTEs allow developers to more expressively identify a temporary result set (similar to a derived table or temporary view). Recursive Queries allow developers to more easily query hierarchies of data, by permitting developers (in a single SQL statement) to recursively query into a CTE that's also being populated). CTEs and Recursive queries can be a little difficult to initially grasp, so I'm going to show several code examples to demonstrate their value.

Using a trigger to perform mass-update-safe, specific-field calculatio

Sat, 30 Dec 2006 14:13:47 GMT

You've got a table which contains some information and you want to perform calculations based on this information and store them in the same table or in another table. The calculations must always be up-to-date. The calculations are performed via a complex User Defined Function which accepts the other fields' values as parameters. The table has got thousands of rows and thus you do not want to use a view because it'll degrade the overall performance. For the same reason, you do not want to use a calculated field.
