One of the early versions of the FMExpense demo used Isolated Storage in conjunction with a (slightly modified) local copy of the FMExpense web site installed to the "MyWeb" virtual client site. This enabled the app to run locally when disconnected, and sync up with the real site once the user bec

2002-07-02 Thread Greg Reinacker
You can certainly still use Component Load Balancing (CLB) in Application Center Server to balance DCOM requests. However, a simpler and (in my experience) more reliable approach is to use Network Load Balancing (NLB) to balance .NET remoting calls to server-activated objects. This will work wit

We have not uninstalled Clear Case. We are hoping it does not come to that. Per the replies I am seeing, this may be our only option. You can read messages from the Advanced DOTNET archive, unsubscribe from Advanced DOTNET, or subscribe to other DevelopMentor lists at http://discuss.develop.co

Re: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] Massive Use of Threads Issue

Thomas On most of these issues we could argue the toss all day and get nowhere. But there are a couple of concrete points I'd like to pick up on. You say: "Threads mean that a thread scheduler has to check them regularly and has to blow it's performance on this." My understanding is that with

My application dynamically adds UserControls to it's client area. The UserControls fire events to update the container applications status bar. As the UserControls are added to the container I do the following to hook up the event: Type type = Ctrl.GetType(); EventInfo ei = type.GetEvent("Update

Andy, I know of NO (!) operating system so far that is made to handle a high amount of threads running into hundreds. Threads mean that a thread scheduler has to check them regularly and has to blow it's performance on this. I have been involved in a number of high throughput projects (up to 60.

I think the Synchronised OLTP approach is the best - thinking it through . Performance could be improved by creating input queues for each transaction and once the transaction is finished applying them in a big batch -. You could then trigger an event and any other caches could get the data and d

David , I actually agree with Thomas - I would use a threadpool. If a library requires a single threadid use a higher priotity schedule thread to pass the work information to the threadpool. Threads are not a performance issue like going to the DB but they do consume resources and large

Updating caches within the business tier across multiple machines is an issue I'm currently wrestling with as well! So far it's been suggested: 1. That an extended sql proc (dll) + triggers on tables could be used to push updates from the db server to all the webservers/business object servers i
