Running Multiple Threads on Windows Azure

By -
The default worker role created by Visual Studio 2010 generates code that only leverages a single thread in your compute instance. Using that generated code, if you make synchronous network requests to SQL Azure or to a web service (for example via REST), your dedicated core for the instance becomes underutilized while it waits for the response from the network. One technique is to use the asynchronous functions in ADO.NET and the HTTPWebRequest classes to offload the work to the background worker. For more information about asynchronous calls read: Asynchronous Programming Design Patterns . Another technique that I will cover in this blog post is how to start up multiple threads, each for a dedicated task, for this purpose I have coded a multi-threaded framework to use in your worker role.   Goals of the framework: Remain true to the design of the RoleEntryPoint class, the main class called by the Windows Azure instance, so that you don’t have to redesign your code. ...

Code samples for Advanced C# Programming by Paul Kimmel

By -
Over this week I was wanting to look at some code samples for PerfMon in C#. I found a lot pages referencing a PerfMon.sln, including on MSDN – but no one could find the source code.  The above book ( http://www.mhprofessional.com/product.php?isbn=0072228288 ) had an entire chapter on it and was available as a eBook.   After a few emails back and forth with McGraw-Hill Education, they finally sent me a downloadable location for the source:   http://www.softconcepts.com/Books/Source/Advanced%20C%23%20Programming.zip   I suspect other folks would appreciate getting access to the samples!   The purpose of getting the code samples was to build a check box tree to select the counters that I wanted to include in SQL Server Management Data Warehouse (aka SQL Server Performance Studio) so it’s a click the counter, click a button and you are logging those counters in your MDW database.

Error : /ScriptResource.axd : Invalid viewstate.

By -
This issue is caused when the ScriptResource.axd querystring parameters can not be decoded on the server. This error can be caused from multiple issues with server configuration or the Browser's interaction with the server. The ScriptResource.axd contains all of the clientside javascript routines for Ajax. Just because you include a scriptmanager that loads a script file it will never appear as a ScriptResource.AXD - instead it will be merely passed as the .js file you send if you reference a external script file. In other words it is what the Microsoft Ajax libraries inject into your HTML to allow them to access their javascript functions they need for page manipulation. ASP.NET will use the machine key to encrypt the ScriptResource.axd (and webresource.axd) url's parameters(in querystring), and by default the machinekey is a randomly generated one which may involve the current time. By default there is a different machinekey on every machine, and it changes when the applic...
