Application Versus Session / Cache
Feb 23, 2011What is an appropriate use case for all of the above? It seems session and cache are quite similar, and I can't think of much use for application.

C# - Web Application Cache Versus Database Cache
Jan 14, 2010Im building a image gallery which reads file from disk, create thumbnails on the fly and present them to the user. This works good, except the processing takes a bit time.
I then decided to cache the processed images using the ASP .NET Application Cache. When a image is processed I add the byte[] stream to the cache. As far as I know this is beeing saved into the system memory. And this is working perfect, the loading of the page is much faster.
My question is if there are thousands of images which gets cached in the Application Cache, will that affect the server performance in any way?
State Management :: Session And Application Cache Items Disappear?
Mar 31, 2010i've been coding an asp.net site using VS2005 for about one month.
my site uses both application cache and session cache to save data.
the syntax i use for application cache is :
HttpApplicationState appState = Application;
appState["someKey"] = "somevalue";
and for session cache i use :
HttpContext.Current.Session["someKey"] = "Somevalue";
my site is deployed on three standalone servers - each server runs a diffrent instance of the site.
two of the servers work just fine, the third has a stange problem - and also has the least free memory space.
in this server items start dissapearing from both the session and application cache - note that i set no expiration date to the cache items.
does anyone know why this could happen?
seems to me there is perhaps some memory limit for cached items setting that i am missing.
SPCache Versus HttpRuntime.Cache
Mar 27, 2011I have a SharePoint 2010 Farm and want to use object caching for my own custom objects.
Since it's an ASP.net Application at it's core, I could use HttpRuntime.Cache. On the other hand, SharePoint 2010 offers it's own SPCache.
Why would I choose SPCache over the HttpRuntime.Cache one?
New-Cache Parameters For AppFabric Cache When Storing.NET Session State
Jul 28, 2010What are the "optimal" parameters for creating an AppFabric cache when you will be storing session state in the cache? MSDN Cache-Related Commands
Powershell command line:
New-Cache [-CacheName] <String> [-Eviction <String>] [-Expirable <String>] [-Force [<SwitchParameter>]] [-NotificationsEnabled <String>] [-Secondaries <Int32>] [-TimeToLive <Int64>]
[code]...
Since I don't want my sessions to be removed unless the session has been abandoned either via code or Session Timeout...For eviction, I would think "None" and for expireable, I would think False.I have tested and calling Session.Abandon does remove the object from the cache. I have also tested to see if by extending my session, the session object in cache is also extended. This does seem to work the "correct" way.

View 2 RepliesMVC :: Session Variable Versus Hidden Field?
Jun 8, 2010I have an application that goes through a series of questions and I have a view that shows each question based on the ViewData.
I would like to store the QuestionID (the view uses this to determine which question to show), but I'm curious if I should be storing the CurrentQuestionID in the Session or as a hidden field?
I am sure this is pretty common and I was curious what the conventions/best practices were for this sort of thing.
Storing User Variables In Database Versus Session In C#
Jul 28, 2010I'm working with an asp.net application that stores most data in a database and not session. I'm wondering of the pros and cons of each and which is the better way to go. For example, you have a pretty busy site and instead of storing user specific variables in session, there is a DB table called user data and it can store all user specific data that can be accessed from any page by querying the database. Which is the better way to go, session or database?

Website Versus Web Application
Mar 29, 2010I am using VS 2008/VB.Net and am trying to figure out if I should use a "Website" or a "ASP.Net Application" project type.
I have to create an online tool to allow users to manage data, there should be no more than 5-10 users at a time on the system. I need to use Profile/Membership with the tool.
I plan to use the <correction> N-layer </correction> (not "n-tier") architecture with a Business layer and DB layer.
I am wondering about the advantages/disadvantages of each.
Is the "website" model really outdated? I notice that the Website model has in built support for many more namespaces but with asp.net application does not, you have to add a lot of references.

View 1 RepliesApplication_Start Versus OnInit Versus Constructor?
Jul 23, 2010I've gone rounds with this ever since I started programming classic ASP 12 (or so) years ago and I've never found a great solution because the architecture of ASP and ASP.NET has always been a swamp of bad practices, magic shared singletons, etc. My biggest issue is with the HttpApplication object with its non-event events (Application_Start, Application_End, etc.).
If you want to do stuff once for the entire lifespan of an HTTP application, Application_Start is the obvious place to do it. Right? Not exactly. Firstly, this is not an event per se, it's a magic naming convention that, when followed, causes the method to be called once per AppDomain created by IIS.
Besides magic naming conventions being a horrible practice, I've started to think it might be a reason there exist no such thing as a Start event on the HttpApplication object. So I've experimented with events that do exist, such as Init. Well, this isn't really an event either, it's an overridable method, which is the next best thing.
It seems that the Init() method is called for every instantiation of an HttpApplication object, which happens a lot more than once per AppDomain. This means that I might as just put my startup logic inside the HttpApplication object's constructor.
Now my question is, why shouldn't I put my startup logic in the constructor? Why does even Init() exist and do I need to care about Application_Start? If I do, can anyone explain why there is no proper event or overridable method for this pseudo-event in the HttpApplication object?
And can anyone explain to me why in a typical ASP.NET application, 8 instances of my HttpApplication are created (which causes the constructor and Init to run just as many times, of course; this can be mitigated with locking and a shared static boolean called initialized) when my application only has a single AppDomain?

View 1 RepliesPros/cons Of Reading Connection String From Physical File Versus Application Object
Apr 9, 2010my ASP.NET application reads an xml file to determine which environment it's currently in (e.g. local, development, production).
It checks this file every single time it opens a connection to the database, in order to know which connection string to grab from the Application Settings.
I'm entering a phase of development where efficiency is becoming a concern. I don't think it's a good idea to have to read a file on a physical disk ever single time I wish to access the database (very often).
I was considering storing the connection string in Application["ConnectionString"].
[code].....
I didn't design the application so I figure there must have been a reason for reading the xml file every time (to change settings while the application runs?) I have very little concept of the inner workings here. What are the pros and cons?
Code Versus Database - Sequence Of Steps, Call Database Or Check Session Object?
Aug 3, 2010I have several web sequential pages which will modify a record and its child records in the database, called a "project". Such a project is currently passed between pages using its database ID in the URL parameters.
A project has some information specific to itself, and also consists of one or more Tasks, which each have information specific to itself.
Is it faster (alternatively, more maintainable or more easily understood) to hit the database each time I need to query the same project (and its tasks), or should I query the database once (either once for each page or once for all pages and save to Session) and check the saved object rather than the database?

Is It Possible To Manipulate An .net Web Application Cache From Outside The Web
Feb 12, 2010have a situation very similar to the one in this question:http://stackoverflow.com/questions/774695/selective-cache-clearing-across-load-balanced-servers-asp-netThe difference is that due to our hosting configuration, I am unable to address individual servers by IP address. Assuming I cannot access specific servers via web requests, is it possible to access the HttpContext of a web application running on the same machine? I'm thinking I could accomplish this with a windows service that I could address by machine name, or alternately a console application

View 1 RepliesShare Cache Between Web Service And Web Application?
Mar 19, 2010I would like to create a web application that gives an overview of all latests builds of a Team Foundation Server (TFS). The original idea was to simply query the TFS for all these builds and display the results using html. Now the problem is that this is just too slow. It takes around a minute to get the required informtion. I can't inluence this, it is just given. So I came up with the idea of caching. I could cache all results for a certain period of time and then invalidate the cache but as soon as the cache expires someone that uses the application will have to wait again which is not that nice.
The Team Foundation Server is able to notify whenever a new build is available. So basically the idea is that the application could react on that notification. In order to be notified I have to write a web service and register it with the TFS. That worked pretty well so far. The web service is now notified whenever a new build is done. Now I would like to connect my web application to the web service and whenever the web service is notified by the TFS update the cache of the web application. Here starts the problem. How can this be achieved? First I thought that the web service could fire a .NET event and the web application could react on that event but that does not seem to be possible. The next idea was that both the web service and the web application could use the same cache. The web service could then directly update the cache with the build information it receives from the Team Foundation Server but I am not even sure if this works.
Can a web service and a web application share the same cache? The web service doing something like Cache.Add("key", buildInfo) and the web application buildInfo = Cache["key"]. If not what other approach could be used to solve such a scenario?
